Fairgrounds Movement i'm To-
peka Has Plenty of Support.
Two Thousand Children En-
rolled and All Are Active.
Different FORMS OF GAMES
Children Play at Everything
From Tennis to "Teetering."
Rapid Development in System
Within the Past Few Weeks.

The Fairgrounds movement in To-
peka has grown amazingly in the past
few weeks. The children have taken
an active interest in it and with the
little ones backing the plan, it is bound
to be a great success
The parents are also strongly in
favor of the chi1drens Fairgrounds.
They always know where the young
'uns are now. AS there are 1000
children enrolled In the different
grounds, il is easy to see what an inn
portant factor in the welfare OF To-
peka and her young ones the play
grounds are.
The children develop spirit of in
dependence and leadership that is
hardly possible at home. The in
fluence and supervision given TO them
at the parks are the best obtainable.
AS the Fairgrounds are scattered
throughout the city, rnere is one in
nearly every neighborhood. There are
many people, however, who live some
distance from the different play
grounds, who would like to see more
of them. Better equipment is also de-
sired and it is probable that suoscrip-
lions will be asked in the future with
this intent in view.
AT present there are many different
forms of play for the children. They
have tennis courts in some of the
parks and school grounds for those in
terested. Naturally the smaller ones
do not take a fancy TO that game yet.
They prefer the swings and "teeter-
totters" They like to romp and play
hide and go SEEK and kindred
games. The supervisor is always on
hand to take an active part in these
affairs
All day long the children play in the
grounds afforded them by the public.
The Fairgrounds are only in their in
fancy in Topeka. but VIII doubtless as
sumo greater proportions before long.
Some cities have such a finely organ
lied system that no hume is more than
a few blocks from the grounds. There
are plenty of enthusiastic supporters
ward that end.

Unless Topeka begins at once to
exterminate mosquitoes, the pests may
come as a summer plague with every
evening breeze"
each house search their backwards and
nearby vacant lots for standing water.
Tin cans, paint pots, rain barrels, tubs
and empty flower pots should be over

and caves should also be Investigated.

INFORMATION FOR
Topeka AUTOiSTS

On one or two of the through high
ways, there are stretches of good roads
but in many places bad mud-holes
were found by autOists. The country
roads less frequently travelled are
rough and muddy and are causing
grief to automobiles and motorcycles
Between here and Kansas City the
roads are worse than west of Topeka
The ground is so thoroughly soaked
that it will take several days of sun
shine and then a few more of heavy
traffic before riding will be anything
but hardship
The sun will set tonight at 7:45
o'clock. Lights must be on at SIT

PARENTS FAITHFUL To
LEPER SON TO The END
Fathers Business Ruined and
Aid Refused by All.

Benton Harbor, Mich.-In an isolated
shanty, set down In a secluded spot on
the lake shore, Jacob Goldstein died a
day or two ago.
He was a leper, an outcast, menace
to mankind, a creature to be Stunned.
Yet when his spirit left his tortured
body his weeping mother and his de-
voted father were by his side. He
could not see them, for the disease that
claimed him had destroyed his eyes.
But caring nothing for any risk they
ran, mother and father were faithful to
the end.
That his son from some mysterious
cause had developed leprosy caused
the elder Goldstein's financial ruin and
his family's ostracism. He kept small
general store in suburban Benton Har-
Dor, and he and his family were In
comfortable circumstances when
The whisper, Young Goldstein is a
leper," swelled to cry that echoed all
over Benton Harbor and far beyond it's
limits. Overnight Goldstein's little
business was ruined; former customers
hurried by on the other side of the
street; former friends suddenly forgot
they had ever known the Goldsteins.
Goldstein tried to provide for his fam
lily by peddling. AS he trudged the
roads the frightened warning went
ahead of him, Here comes the leper's
father! All doors were closed to him.
The local health authorities asked
the state of Michigan to care for the
leper The state refused. There is
nothing in the health ordinances pro-
viding for such a case. The Univer-
sity of Michigan was ready to furnish
isolated quarters for young Goldstein
so its medical students might observe
the progress of the disease, but Ann
Arbor emphatically refused to admit a
leper within her confines.
So the shanty was built in the Sc
cluded spot among the hills near by.
There the parents of the doomed boy

WOMAN never SLEEPS:
AWAKE SEVEN YEARS
Sits Up All Night In Chair and
Tries to Rest.

Seattle, Wash.-Mrs. Edward Hauck
of this city says she has slept only half
an hour in the last seven years.
Her husband substantiates her state
ment.
Seattle physicians say 1t is impossi-
BILE; that if Mrs. Hauck hasn't slept for
seven years by all the laws of nature
she would have been dead long ago.
Two or three years ago one night she
dozed off, she declares, and slept for
fully half an hour.
Often now she feels sleepy and i'm
mediately lies down in the hope that
the longed for unconsciousness Will
come. But it never does.
She weighs twenty-five pounds less
than she did seven years ago, when her
long period Of sleeplessness began. She
suffered severely for the first two or
three nights, she says. That's all.
at has come to be sort of matter
of fact condition with me now" she
went on. There is no pain, only a
kind of dull feeling that weighs down
on me, And the nights, you know, are
so long when one Is alone and every
body else in the world is sleeping"
She passes little of her time in bed.
Early in the evening she lies down
with her little daughter, Irene Bell,
aged year and half, until the child
is in Sunderland. Then she gets up,
clears away her work and prepares for
her long siege against the coming of
daybreak.
Edward Hauck, the husband, is en-
plOyed as a cook. He works nights.
81 worked In the daytime until recent
ly, though" he said, land slept here
at home at night, and l know my wife
is not mistaken when she says she
spends her nights just as wide awake
as she is during the day. Occasionally,
when she tried going to bed, I'd wake
up and find her tossing beside me, al
ways awake. Generally, though, she
would be sitting in our one rocking
chair, with the shaded lamp beside
her, reading"
Mrs. Hauck says she finds she can
get more physical relaxation In q chair
at night than in bed. She makes the
chair comfortable with bedclothes, par
tally disrobes and lies back to count
off the hours.
"She's such a plucky little person."
her husband explains, that she hardly
ever complains about 1t and seems anx-
lous only that baby and get our
rest"
Mrs. Hauck sought relief from physi-
clans in the east before coming to
Seattle, three years ago from Berlin,
Ont, but could get none, she says. She
has bought drugs and sleeping pow
ders at various times, both with and
without the advice of physicians. But
Nothing has helped, she says.

WO0DPECKER ROBS A TOWN.
Causes Short Circuit Resulting In Ex-
cessive Water Bill.

Ilwaco, Wash.-A woodpecker is
blamed for large additions to Ilwaco's
bill for pumping city water.
The contract for filling the municipal
reservoir is let to a power company
and an electric indicator notifies the
engineer when the required depth Of
water has been provided.
For some months the bill has been
regarded as excessive and the number
of hours required daily to fill the basin
has varied to a marked degree.
Investigation has placed the blame
on an innocent woodpecker which
chose one wire for perch and with
its tail touching the other wire made
short circuit so that the engineers
signal to stop pumping was controlled
by the woodpecker's rest rather than
the depth of water provided.
