Y. M. c. A.NOTES

Act number six Of the main show
program is one of the big head-liners.
This act brings into the arena four
teen acrobats, who are well versed
iii ground tumbling. The squad is di.
vided into two sets of seven men
each, the first set containing small
men and the second set composed Of
larger and older fellows. The exhi-
bition includes single and double tum-
bling such as rolls, forward and back,
head and hand springs, forward and
back somersaults and combination
throws.
Supporting the regular tumbling
teams are Sebach, Van Voorhis, But
ler and Wrestler in slap-stick or
comedy acrobatics. This line of tum-
bling will be just as good as any seen
on regular vaudeville circuits. Those
who have witnessed the work of this
quartet in previous years made the
above assertion and their act in the
1915 shows will measure up to the
usual high standard.
One hour and fifteen minutes, every
minute of which will be filed with
something to occupy your undivided
attention is promised those who at.
tend the Y circus on Monday and
Tuesday nights, April 26 and 81.

Nothing But Leaves.

Anews dispatch declares that starch
is to be taken out of collars for men
next season; which sounds reasonable
enough. But what casts a doubt on the
assertion is the furthur declaration that
the idea is to make men comfortable -
Which is absurd. The whole tendency
of civilization is to make men uncom-
Portable. The whole fashion of wear
ing clothes at all is conspiracy against
the comfort of men. The natural state
of man is to drink creek water, burn
cow-chips, eat pawpaws and walnuts,
pin on buffalo tail and run wild. From
the time we left Eden, which saw US
comfortably CARRIED, men have been
adding one torture to another And
while they may take the starch out of
our cuffs and collars, they probably
will put something in the other end of
the shirt to make up for the small COM
fort they have vouchsafed to US. There
is no rest for the weary-at least, this
side of Jordan Emporia Gazette.

PARKS ARE HELLHOLES FOR
GIRLS, SAYS CITY AID

GIRLS, SAYS CITY AID
The Chicago Woman's club has de-.
clared war on the danger to girls
that turks in the Chicago parks. The
crusade will be aimed particularly at
the parks under control of the South
Park board, such as Washington and
Jackson parks.
At an executive session of the club
held Monday many members of the
club told of witnessing disgusting
sights on the South Side, which, in
spite of the fact that the South Park
board has more money in the treas
ury than any other park system in
Cook County, has the poorest police
protection. =
The club heard how young girls are
insulted in the poorly-ighted South
Side parks, and even of cases where
young children are forced to run in
terror from evil men.
Much of the fault of this, as the
women see it, lies in the fact that the
South Park board, instead Of putting
more policemen to work and put
ting more lights into operation are
allowing the money to lay in banks.
George Emmicke, veteran city
prosecutor, whoise work in outlying
police courts has shown him the
wrong of poorly-protected parks, en-
dorsed the plan of the women.
"The parks are Veritable hellholes
for the young girls who take their
recreation there" he said. Men go
in droves to the parks with the one
purpose of picking up girls. And if
the park is il-ighted or poorly pro-
tected they will force their attentions
on any girl that comes along, no mat
ter what her age might be.
'In my experience in the courts
have been called upon many times |
to prosecute men for all sorts of |
crimes committed in parks seizing
The day book. [volume] (Chicago, Ill.) 1911-1917, 1915-04-28
ent exposures and

girls by force, indecent exposures and
many other offenses.
Another and great danger to girls
is the auto flirt.' These men usual
ly well-appearing, make business of
hunting the parks for girls. They
can usually find some unsuspecting
girl who is glad of the chance to get
an auto ride. When the girls get in
the machine is sent ahead at a speedy
clip and before the girls realize what
the mems intentions are they are on
the outskirts of the city and the men
are making advances to them"
Ulysses S. Schwartze, another city
prosecutor, and Asst States Atty
Eugene Quirks were two others who
endorsed the women's crusade. They
promised to do all in their power to
aid the women.
John Barton Payne, Albert Mohr,
JOS. Donnesberger, Chas. Hutchinson
and L. NJ. Patterson are the present
South Park board members.

Milwaukee.-A pair of white gloves. This Is the reward Traffic Patrolman Rohde received for risking his life in stopping a runaway a few days ago
 T am satisfied" said the patrolman as he looked at his gloves and smiled.
 William Horowitz. a fruit peddler, was getting on his wagon at Sev. enth and Vilet streets when the horse shied and ran toward Chestnut street.
 Patrolman Rohde noticed the horse on the left side of the street. and as he sped past Chestnut street grabbed one of the lines. The horse dragged the patrolman. Rohde clung to the lines and soon stopped the horse.
 When Horowitz came to the scene few minutes later the patrolman's s gloves were torn and soiled and he was bruised about the face.

STATE OR PRIVATE BUSINESS
Two Ways Of Looking at Necessary Reforesting of Waste Lands of
 Community.

There surely ought to be better way of rsforesting the waste lands of Michigan than the one just proposed furnishing the young trees free and paying the owner of the land a bonus for planting them. If tree planting is a paying operation, why should the state pay individuals for going into the business? If it Is not, if the trees are to be planted for the effect they will have on the climate and for the good they will do to the state at large. bonus for tree planting will not serve the purpose. The owner of the land will have no inducement to bring the trees to maturity if that means an expenditure of money and pains. If the bonus is big enough to tempt him to plant trees, and there is no further inducement to care for them. he will leave them to take their chances. and most of the money will be thrown away. As matter of fact. tree planting has been proved to be . most lucrative business, but not for the individual. for the man who plants rarely lives to reap the harvest. Con- sequently. few men care to go in for it. It Is a business that should be under taken by the state. which lives for ever and will itself reap what profits there may be.--Detroit Journal
