Unless the Susquehanna should mis-

City Commissioner NJ. Harvey Tay-
lor, superintendent of parks, made
that announcement at noon after a
personal visit to the camp and a
thorough inspection of conditions. In
cidentally Mr.. Taylor kept the phone
st his elbow with through wire to
camp wide open.
The water is not dangerous at all
now and from all the official reports
that we can obtain from the State
Water Supply Commission and the
United States weather forecaster, the
stream will not reach a stage that
need cause any anxiety" said the COM
missioner to-day THE water will
have to go up nearly two feet to get
into camp at it's present site and in
an emergency we could easily move to
the ground nearly which is six feet
higher. Furthermore we've flats and
boats ready to take the girls away at
once if there should be occasion,
Visitors who want to go to camp
tomorrow, Sunday-we always have
a big lot on Sunday-should try to
arrange their trips so as to board the
ferryboat at 10 o'clock in the morning
and 2 in the afternoon. No hauling
will be done by rowboats or flats be-
cause the water is so swift as to make
1t real job for the boatmen and the
ferry can easily accommodate every-
body. The return trip from the island

Hupmobile Co. Use Vacant
Land For Fairgrounds

Utilizing unimproved property for
the benefit of the children in the
neighborhood is the. latest innovation
of the Detroit automobile manufacture
ers. A playground for children is the
new feature which has been inaugur-
ated by the Hupp Motor Company.
and 1t has always become so popular
that it is filled every day to capacity
although 1t was first opened only last
Saturday.
The new playground, located at
Griffin and Moran streets, is similar
too, although much larger than those
OF the city in the public school yards
Like the city Fairgrounds. it is under
1.-The supervision of the Recreation COM
mittee, which also furnishes the in
structors. a man for the boys and a
woman for the girls.
The idea of giving the children In
the neighborhood a playground origi-
mated with ]. Walter Drake, president
of the Hupp company who figured
that the company could make a hu-
manhattan use of its vacant property
and at the same time take the chill
dren off the streets in the neighbor-
hood where they are in constant dan
ger because of the scores of automo-
biles which are constantly coming and
going from the Hupp factory.
The playground was fitted up with
complete apparatus with gravel and
sand flooring and turned over to the
City Recreation committee under
whose supervision it is being operated.
This commission has appointed j.
Richard Hardy as boys director and
Miss Irma Martens as girls director.
AS high as three hundred boys and
girls have used the pIayPround OF
times. The instructors give them reg
ular lessons at stated hours and the
rest of the day is devoted to free play.
There are swings, slides, teter
boards, wading ponds, sand boxes and
a merrygo-round. A canvas will be
stretched over a portion of the play
ground during the hottest parts of the
day.
I'VE fitted up the playground as
much for our own peace of mind as
for the benefit of the children" said
j. Walter Drake, president of the
Hupp Motor Company. with cars
constantly on the move in the streets
around the factory it has been a diff
cult proposition to avoid accidents, es-
pecially on account of the large num-
Der of children who played in the
streets around our factory.
LAS we had this vacant property,
which we are holding for additions to
the factory, we decided to build the
children playground and let the city
supervise it.
Most of Detroits automobiles fac
tories are located in the congested
districts and l think that it would be
of great benefit to both companies and
the community If the other factories
with vacant property would turn it
over to the Recreation committee"

Shade Necessary During Melting
Probably at no time Is the hot sun
more dangerous to fowls than during
molting season. Molting is natures
condition for exchanging the old,
wornout feather-beaten suit for q
fresh clean one. Quite frequently
individual birds will be almost en-
tirely nude. and when exposed to the
hot suns the skin not only quickly
reddens, but is apt to blister and be-
come sore. 1t is just as important to
shelter Noting fowls from hot suns as
1t is to protect them from cold storms.
Growing chicks will not thrive If
they are not given the proper amount

Heat Prostrations Frequently
Due to Lack of Protection
From Sun; Artificial Shell
ter Easily Provided
Range in Corn Field Gives
Ideal Conditions For
Young Stock; Trees and
Shrubs Desirable
BY Michael X. Boyer
Poultry Editor of The Farm Journal
COPYRIGHT, 1915.

To grow rapidly and develop into
profitable early layers, pullets must
be provided with shade during the
summer months. Mature birds. more
over, will not do their best If they
are exposed to the heat. In this ar
ticle Mr.. Boyer tells how to provide
shade for poultry. 81.
1t is just as important to keep the
poultry comfortable in summer as 1t
Is in winter. Comfort" should be
the motto of every poultrykeeper, and
it should be strictly enforced. To re-
main healthy and vigorous, both fowls
and chicks must be protected from
the burning rays of the sun.
To deprive the stock of sunlight
would be fatal. A house situated
where it does not get the sunlight is
unfit for fowls; but if it gets the sun
for only a few hours a day it may be
used. Mature birds soon degenerate
away from the sun, and chicks are
sickly when grown with little sun
light. But no fowl can thrive when
long exposed to the heat of the sun,
so there should be shade at least in
.plete shade is to be avoided. Air and
sunshine in moderation are impor-
tant factors in the growth and thrift
of stock.
Natural shade is desirable and fruit
trees are particularly good, since they
give shelter as we'll as crops that can
be sold at profit. They provide shade
during hot weather, and, dropping
their leaves for winter allow the sun
shine to strike past their limbs in cool
weather. Evergreen trees planted In
hedges for windbreaks for winter also
furnish dense and cooling shade In
summer.
How to Provide Artificial Shade
Shade can be furnished artificially
IN different sections of the yard by
using branches of trees cut in full
foliage; or by driving three-foot stakes
IN the ground and covering them with
canopy of burlap; or by erecting

400 BOWMAN EMPLOYEES HAVE
TIME OF THEIR LIFE AT BIG
FROLIC ALONG CONODOGUINET

With many minor aches and pains,
caused principally by heavy, glistening
crops of sunburn contracted at the an
nual picnic at Good Hope Mill yester-
day. the four hundred members of the
big department store family of Bow
man & Co. returned to their respective
duties in the Carlisle and Harrisburg
stores this morning considerably re-
freshed. both mentally and physically,
they said.
That other more serious aches were
not in evidence this morning is re-
garded as remarkable, for the four
hundred certainly did stow away a
mass of "eats" out of all proportion to
their numbers.
Look What Disappeared
Figures are always imposing. Look
at this raft of stuff that disappeared:
One hundred and fifty cakes of all
sizes, description and composition
(they were all about the same age) ;
so loaves of bread. so dozens of eggs,
20 pounds of butter, 20 gallons of
pickles, 25 pounds of sugar, 10 gal
Ions of milk. 10 gallons of coffee,

We're in the van of the numerous ac-

Did Things Hum? Yea. 10!
There wasn't a minute during the
day that things were idle. The closest
approach to peaceful quietness was
while a panorama picture was being
taken of the crowd, and If you look
closely you will find that some moved
even then. There were sports in
abundance and prizes for the winners.
Soon after the picnickers piled of
the fourteen auto trucks a movie man
perched at an advantageous position
started to grind off feet after feet OF
film. 1t wasn't long before his linn
tied supply ran out.
Then loud walls rose from a bunch
of girls standing directly in front OF
the machine. who feared their pictures
had not been taken. kilograms were
hastily dispatched to Philadelphia and
a thousand feet more arrived here by
express early in the afternoon. 1t was
rushed to the picnic grounds in a
speedy automobile and the machine
again took up it's clanking. 1t is
planned to show the films In a local
theater next week.
