PARK COMMISSION
PLANS FOR WORK
Poplars and Other Inferior Trees
VIII BE Removed From Reaney
Park---Other Park to Be
Beautified

The new city park commission
held a meeting Wednesday evening
at the home of DR.. and Mrs. Mcguire.
A working organization was perfect
as chairman and Mrs. f. Mcguire as
secretary. After an informal dis
cussion it was decided to put as
much work as possible on improving
Reaney park, but to also prepare
plans for the future systematic inn
prOyement of the other park, near
the ball grounds, and to begin the
planting of trees there. Prof. West
gate stated and all the members
agreed, that the first thing to be
done is to remove "a large mum Der of
the poplar and other inferior vari-
cites Of trees from Reaney park in
order to give the good trees a better
chance to develop. 1t was suggested
that parties might be found who
would remove the trees for the wood
in them or that labor could be hired
to chop them up and the wood sold
for enough to cover the expense. Any
persons interested in this proposition
are requested to consult with John
Squires.
Suggestions were also made for
the improvement of the fountain in
the park and for the identifying of
the two triangular park strips in
Maiden Lane. Members of the COM
mission will make an inspection Of
Reaney park tomorrow to decide
what trees should be rem owed.

CHARACTER PARTY
AT PALMERTON HOME
Neighborly Neighbors Take Posses
sion of State Street Residence
and Enjoy Novel Affair

A character" party proved to be
a very novel and enjoyable social af-
fair when Mr.. and Mrs. J. NJ. Pal
merton yielded possession of their
spacious State street residence to the
Neighborly Neighbors Wednesday
evening and the Sunnyside hill resi-
dents were not slow in making the
most of the occasion.
The characters showed much study
and work and covered a wide range
Among the ladies could be found
almost any character from classic
Grecian to "Krazy Jane" and the
men represented anything from the
wild cowboy to Charlie Chaplin. The
guests played their parts to the best
of their ability and Miss Edna Prind-
vile as Charlie Chaplin made that
near-million-dollar actor look like
an imitation of himself.
The entertainment features were
as novel as the costumes, consisting
of contests ranging from writing
spring sonnets to using slang and
guessing about most anything from
the number of Fords in Pullman to
the most popular preacher.
To provide refreshments each lady
brought "daintily" decorated
lunch for two and then selected their
partner by lot; proceeding with him
to a quiet nook and there out from
rusty oil can, a shoe box or some
thing of the sort produced a delicious
repast.
During the evening both vocal and
instrumental music was enioyed and

FINANCIAL WASHINGTON

Yesterdays Times printed the
bank statements of practically all
the banks and trust companies Of the
city Of Washington.
The total resources shown by the
statements printed amount to $780,
573,744.26.
This total is largely made up of
savings accounts. Washington has
within comparatively few years
changed from a debtor to a creditor
city. The rapid development of
Washington began in the eighties,
From then on for twenty years
Washington's material development
was largely financed by borrowed
money from outside the city.
Washingtonians, however, are rap
idly paying off outside obligations
and are building up large accumu.
lation of surplus funds which are re-
fiected in the financial statements OF
the banks and trust companies OF
the city.
More rapidly than most people
think, in all probability, Washington
is destined to become one of the
financial centers of the union.

THE ETHICS OF THE "KITTy"

There comes from New York
tale Of police interference with pri-
vate rights that suggests the worst
extremes Of Russianization. II ap-
pears that group Of Washington
Heights married women had q quiet
little poker club which played a ten
cent-limit game at intervals. Some
younger and more reckless members
were taken in, who presently hoisted
the limit and developed the specu-
lative possibilities to the point where
it was pretty common for half the
members to go home "broke."
British bubbles conferred about
how to discourage the game, and
finally asked police aid. Detectives
were sent to call on the homes while
the play was going on. They had no
right, It appears, to interfere with
the game in a home; but they ex-
planned to the ladies that il they
had a "kitty," then they were vio-
lating the law. Ultimately the dis
comfort Of hustling the chips of
the table whenever the bell rang,
and Of trying to finance the enter
prise without the convenience Of a
"kitty," wrecked the sport.
We would like to know how a
poker game is to be staged success
fully without a "kitty?" Would the
husbands Of these prosecuted ladies
undertake it? They know they
wouldn't. How properly are the
cigars, drinks, and suppers from the
cafe around the. corner to be paid
for? As. well announce the broad
platform. of no poker game at all az
to abolish, the "kitty."
II is, of course, unthinkable that
specially harsh treatment has been
melted to this Washington Heights
game merely because it was a
women's game. Poker, nowadays,
knows no sex, no narrow prejudices
Apparently New York's authorities
are attempting by indirection to dis
courage the noble old game, one Of
the few flourishing evidences yet re.
naming to us that Americanism IL
virile, virtuous, and undiscouraged
amidst the decadent tendencies Of ar
overluxurious epoch.
New York marches, 145,00(
strong, for preparedness--and ther
applies the kibosh to the "kitty." Al
we'll tear up the Constitution ant
tear down the pillars. Of society
while proclaiming our undyine
Americanism.
