Of commerce building Thursday after
noon.
r. F. Burgess, as chairman of the
committee, presided, aid told of the
success in securing the assurance from
mayor Kelly that $4,000, and possibly
$4,000, would be appropriated towards
the inauguration of the playground
and recreation system in FL PasO, and
OF the assurance of the school board
that it would appropriate $4,000 and
take over the supervision of IT, sys-
TEN when inaugurated.
Mr.. Settle then made a verbal report
or his Investigations. I'VE couldn't
have asked for more than we got" he
declared.
The Herald Helps.
Mr.. Settle spoke OF the committee,
as representing every element of the
city, and of the complete harmon that
prevailed throughout the deliberations.
He also spoke Of the educational work
OF The Herald dating back several
years, and Of other movements that
had resulted in crystalizing sentiment
and preparing the city for the move
ment now under way.
I never had less strain in putting
through a proposition" he declared.
The committee has been very helpful
throughout.
"Il PasO is growing, and is destined
to attain a wonderful growth. The
settlement Of the Mexican problem, the
building of the Elephant Butte dam
and the further development Of the
mining industry in $ territory are
things that will make the city grow.
FL Paso, on the Threshold of develop
ing into large city, has the oppOr-
tunity to grow according to a plan, and
it is not too early to learn the needs
and provide for them"
Analysis Of Population
The speaker first took up an analysis
Of the population of the city. Based
on the school census, the estimate of
$4,000 people he thought was conserva-
tive. The scholasti. population, he
thought, was "a 1-2 percent white, or
American, 60 IL percent Mexican and
percent negro. If put on the basis
o. adults, it would run about 40 per-
cent whites, IS percent Mexican and
percent negro. Every section should
have its Fairgrounds and recreation
centers, he stated, the Mexican as well
as American. You have your Mexican
problem and you have to face it.
have found no objection raised to the
plan of providing the Mexicans with

the same facilities for recreation, and.
looking at it from a selfish point, it
will result in much good in improving
conditions among the eXicL ms, making
them better labOrers or better servants.
THE work you plan to do at the
Aoy school will afford a fine OppOr-
tunity for extension work in Mexico.
baseball For BuIIffght.
IF baseball can be substituted for
the bull fight the character and ideals
of the people of Mexico will be raised
fully 20 percent. The work done among
the Mexicans in this city is likely to
have its influence felt in the republic
to the south when that country shall
have become tranquil and an oppcr-
tunity afforded to carry reform there"
Taking up the subject of home
recreation, Mr.. Settle showed that, in
most instances, the yards even in the
north side of the city are too small to
afford the proper space for Fairgrounds
for the children, and even in homes
where there are libraries and the
proper home spirit, there is still the
need Of outside recreation. The north
side of the city is in need of its play
grounds and recreation centers, he said.
On the south side the situation is even
more acute ne said. He told of per-
SOnal Investigations of conditions OF
number of families which revealed the
lack of even the simplest Of healthful
recreatiOns.
After studying the situation in that
part of the city, I feel that the city
is justified in starting a social center
at the AOy school," he declared. 'In
my two days Of investigation I visited
five families, or a total of % people
During those two days they had 404
leisure hours. OF this number IT'S were
spent in recreation, such as visiting
and receiving visits and attending pic
ture shows. The children played IN
directed. The other 224 hours were
idled away, standing about doing moth
ing. After I saw the conditions and
made my computations Of the large
amount of time wasted, I realized that
there exists a great recreation prob
lem in the southern part of the city"
Church Survey.
The speaker told of his investiga-
lions among the churches. He found,
from reports submitted by tie minis
tiers. that, in a way, recreation was
carried on. He spoke of the Y. NJ c. A,
the Y. W. c. A. and the Knights of
Columbus, as institutions that con-
tribute to the recreation of the younger
El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-01-08

the great play field Of the city. 1t is
not too far out to afford a gathering
place for the people of the city, and it
should be provided with a public golf
links tennis courts, and other recrea-
ton facilities For some time to come
this park will meet the needs of the
city for a large central park, and what
money the city has to spend for many
years to come should be used towards
improving the other centers.
For GrOWnups Also.
In closing the speaker stated that
the movement is not only for the chill
dren, but for grown people as well 1t
was to be non-pOlitical, the same IN
der one administration and another, he
said 1t was to be operated on merit
alone, and its success depended, to a
very large extent, upon the supervisor
selected to direct the work.
It was decided at the meeting to
maintain the committee as an organ
izatiOn to work in an advisory capacity
with those who are to have direct
charge of the system.
Following a talk by rabbi Martin
ZielOnka, crediting Robert Krakauer,
president of the chamber of commerce,
with originating the present movement,
Mr.. Kral1aUer was given a rising vote
Of thanks and he was elected to men,
bership of the committee.
r. F. Burgess rendered his resigna-
ton as chairman of the committee,
stating that he expected to be out of
the city during the next three months,
and r. J. Tighe, superintendent Of city
schools was elected in his place.

I've kidneys do their utmost TO free

When your kidneys ache and feel like

the acid Of grapes and lemon Juice
combined with lithia, and has been used
for generations to flush and stimulate

T THE playground mass meetil

T THE playground mass meeting
"a Thursday night, mayor c. Z. KEEL
1 \ ~ announced that negotiations
were under way for the purchase Of
four blocks adjoining the new high
school site, and including the mesa
scenic point, to be used as a playground,
park and general recreation field.
The deal for the property has not yet
been closed but is expected to be closed
soon and will give the city sufficient
site for a comprehensive playground,
recreation and park scheme, to include
the scenic point which is a part Of the
mesa scenic drive project
The meeting was called in order that
T. S. Settle, field secretary Of the Play
grounds and Recreation association Of
America, and local citizens, might be
given an opportunity to explain the new
movement to the citizenship. The audi
forum was well filled and the applause
was frequent.
r. F. Burgess, chairman Of the play
grounds and recreation committee of
the chamber OF commerce, presided. In
a short talk he explained what the
movement was for, and closed with the
suggestion that each generation should
do something to make the next genera
ton stronger and better than itself, and
he said that, in starting the playground
movement, something worth while was
being done for the betterment Of the
generation now coming on. He then in
troduced mayor Kelly.
Mayor For Fairgrounds.
Mayor Kelly said: This is a new
country, and FL Paso is a young city.
The time was when the city fathers of
FL PasO sold the streets of the city to
pay the police force. Later on the city
bought them back, and today we have
the best paved and best lighted city in
the state. It is the same way with the
Fairgrounds. None of the cities Of the
state has as many grassy breathing
spots, and none owns as much acre
age. And let me tell you, no one
in FL PasO believes more in parks and
Fairgrounds than I do.
Il want to give you another little

element in the churches. From figures
submitted by the ministers, ne mad
computed that 1900 people 90 to
church on Sunday, that 1850 attend
Sunday school, $3.50 attend mid-week
services, 1000. attend other week day
meetings, while $50 attend churc-- So
cieties and clubs. For the whole there
are 1920 leisure hours, while the en-
tire city has 100000 leisure hours.
Turning to things commercial, he
sopke of the moving pictures which
show to $4,000 people per week, con-
suming 100, 900 hours Of recreation per
week; of the saloons that consume
1900 leisure hours per day; of the
pool halls, and the gambling places OF
Juarez, each of which consume much
of the leisure time of a certain element
of the people of the city. He estt-
mated that $500 is left in Juarez gam
bling places every day.
Playground Is AntidOte.
"The antidote for these evils is the
providing of recreation for the people
Keep them out of doors and at amuse-
mentS that will result IN development
rather than degeneration"
Mr.. Settle outlined some of the things
that should be done as the beginning
of the playground and recreation CEN
ter movement in Ell Paso. The school
yards should be enlarged, he stated,
particularly the yards at the Villas,
Franklin, Alamo and Highland Park
6CAAOO4o-
1.-THE biggest need of the city now is
a park near. or adjoining the AOy
school. Preferably it should border on
the canal SO that the parking there
can be made a part Of the park. Here
should be provided swimming pools, a
bathhouse, a tennis court and other
things that would tend to promote
heaIthfuI recreation. The Mexican
settlement south of San Antonio street
embraces 81 percent of the school chill
Of 81 n This
square mile in extent, ale $4,000 to
10000 people. All could be served by
this park, in connection with the Aoy
school.
AOy School the Center.
1.-THE Aoy school and the park should
be made the recreation center Of the
southern part of the city, while a block
Of ground adjoining the site of the
new high school should be purchased
with the end in view Of making that
the center for the northern part of the
city.

SCHOOL BOY WITH VARIOLOID
In HOSPITAL DETENTION WARD

Vernon SewelI is getting along nice
ly in the detention ward of the erup-
tive hospital, according to the infor-
nation of the officia there and OF
his aunt, Mrs. A NJ Strelitz. The lad
has a case of varioloid. which is not
sufficiently severe to confine him to
mis- bed.
While variOloid can communicate
smallpox to others, doctors are OPP
timistic in the belief that there is very
little if any danger to other pupils in
the school which the lad attended. He
was in school Tuesday afternoon. On
Wednesday morning when there was
suspicion of the development Of small
pox. he was sent to the office of a
doctor, and later was taken to the
eruptive hospital and placed in the de-
teution ward. The room at school was
fUmigated and the usual precautions
taken to prevent the spread Of the
disease.
