POLICE PLANNING BIG
 DISPLAY OF FIREWORKS

"A display of fireworks that can't be beat" is the way Assistant Super intendent Charles H. Suckley des- cribes the fireworks exhibition that Is to be one of the main attractions at the field day which will be held at Pleasure Beach on August 26 to swell the coffers of the Police Sick Benefit association.
 The fireworks display that has been contracted for Is to be the best that has been shown in this city and will far outclass any other similar production arranged hereabouts. For ty set pieces will constitute the main body of the display but the set pieces will not be all, as arrangements have been made for daylight display in which large daylight bombs are ex- ploded and showers of confetti and pa per novelties are strewn about the island. These bombs will be set orr just before the umpire cries play ball" at the start of the game be- tween the headquarters and second precinct teams.
 But the big attraction will be the night display which will be shown at g o'clock and is expected to last about
  shown are the latest that have been conceived by the masters Of fire works construction and a number Of comedy pieces will be intermingled with those of scenic beauty and rap turous grandeur.
 The first will be the Grand Mill tary Salute" and will be followed by the others, each as interesting and as Inv uyf1I A- pict the pyramids, a silver birch tree, imperial fountain, mammoth red rose, search light, hinese fan, a reprodue- ton of a thunder storm, dancing trick bears, silver threads among the gold, waterfalls with moon effect, Amer ican flag and eagle, the flying gyro- scope, northern lights and shooting stars, a bull dog encircling the globe and an old fashioned windmill.
 The war in Europe will be wildly portrayed by set pieces of the bom- bardment of the forts at Verdun, and a repeating field gun, while Charley Chaplin exhibition in fireworks will contribute to the comedy. Another display arranged for will be a volcano in action and many others that will prove as fascinating will be exhibit ed. t
 In order to advertise itself, the con- cern having charge of the exhibition will furnish a display that will be un- occasionally the best ever shown here, for the same company had charge of the municipal display at Seaside park on the night of July and seeks to silence all criticism of the quality of display that the company can furnish.
 The display will be so great that 40 pieces of lumber, each 16 feet long and four inches wide by two inches thick will be necessary to construct the frame from which the fireworks will be set off.

sOHooLBoYs ON FARMS

In Pennsylvania impetus has been
 given to the "back to the farm" move- ment by placing 1t upon a more prac- tical basis. It was with an entirely different idea that this practical movement was started. It was not so much an effort to increase aRricu1. tural production as to benefit certain
 individuals that the bureau of com pulsory education in snat state last year made an experiment. The plan of the bureau was designed to enable Echoolboys te get into the country for the summer. says Washington Post. Inquiries were made among the farm CTS as to whether they did not de- sire the services of boys between the ages of thirteen and sixteen. who were anxious te attend to weedinp
 digging of potatoes, and the gather ing of hay in return fer their board Summer homes were found for near ly 160 boys in this manner, and near ly ai1 of them stayed for the entire summer. Some of them who work ed last year have been hired bv tbe same farmers for the coming sea- son for @ and s2.5o a week. This year more than s56 boys have applied to the bureau of compulsory educa. tien for such work in the country, and places are being found fer all of them
 The bureau is backing the movement from the conviction that it will open a new vocation fer city boys by show. ing them what life in the country is like. Many of the youngsters who took up farming last summer have ex. pressed an intention to take up the serious study of agriculture. The Pennsylvania granges are now aidina the movement by furnishing the far. mers and certifying to their charac. ters. So far no better plan has beer evolved with view to turning the .citx ezeEz Mshaek staSfh e.eeaatzx :

 "All sorts," was the reply, from the service rifle and small field pieces up to the big 12-inch guns.
