mothers have given up the idea that
their children must be taken to the
mountains at the seashore in the sum
mer to escape the heat and find o
proper place to play. They have dis
covered that the most enjoyable and
most beneficial play in which their lit
tie folks ever engaged is the scientific
ally conducted play on the city play
grounds supervised by experts in
child study and wholesome games.
Hundreds of children in Atlanta
throng the Fairgrounds every day,
and ministers, teachers, physicians,

the subject are unanimous in their
opinion that the city has never made a
greater investment than the compar-
atively small amount of money appro-

HELP FOR ASYLUM IS
WANTED FOR GEORGIA

ATLANTA, Ca, July Powerful
effort will be made by state officials
and friends of the state insane asylum
at Milledgeville to secure from the leg
islature this session the imperatively-
needed appropriations for new build.
ing for white females, and new
building for negroes at that institu-
ton.
Notwithstanding the condition of the
states finances, Governor Harris put
the state'c duty to its insane first
and foremost in his annual message to
the general assembly, declaring it II
be "Georgia's greatest charity" and
asserting that the state "is bound to
care for the helpless insane"
AS result of the fact that the state
insane asylum has not had new
building of any character in the last
twelve years, the white femals and the
negro departments are not only crowd
ed beyond reasonable limits, but are
compelled to take care of double the
number of patients for which they
were built. These unfortunates are
Iherded together almost like cattle, two
living and sleeping in an apartment
made for one.
The report of the trustees, submit
ted to the legislature, shows among
ether things, that while insanity does
rot ordinarily shorten life, the death
rate at the asylum is four times as
great among the whites as among the
general population, and more than ten
times as great among the negroes.

The Salvation Army will send as
many officers as it can spare to the

commander of this division, with At.

the services of the army to Governor
Harris and he telegraphed the army
officers in the four southeastern states
to do the same, and they have done so.
The girl members of the Salvation
Army are as anxious to go to Mexico
as the first recruits that Joined the
Fifth regiment. Three of them in At
lanta, Lieutenant Saphronia Curtis, Ca
Diet Reba Crawford and Cadet Edith
Ayers, said they would like nothing
better, but in all probability the army
will send only its male officers to the
front
The Salvation Army will work in
Mexico as the Salvation Army works

Salvationists are in active services in

No COnviCtS In
The Ranks With
Fifth Regiment

ATLANTA, July l. - Members of
the Fifth regiment of the National
Guard of Atlanta, which left yester-
day for mobilization camp at Macon,
gave the people distinctly to under
stand that there are no pardoned con-
victs in their ranks.
In granting pardon a few days ago,
Governor Harris casually remarked
that the man receiving the pardon
could show his patriotic spirit and his
determination to become good citizen
in no better way than by enlisting for
service in Mexico.
By some misconstruction the COVER
nor's remark was understood to mean
that convicts who would agree to en-
list in the National Guard would be
pardoned by the governor, provided the
offense for which they were sentenced
did not involve moral turpitude. I'M
|mediately there was flood of letters
to the governors office from convicts
in various camps over the state, one
man writing that he committed MUIR
der, but the jury only found him gull
ty of manslaughter.
The governor has been at cnosider-
able pains to correct the misunder-
standing for which he was in no way
Responsible, and ali convict's applica-
tons for pardons on such terms will
be turned down, because no pardons
will be issued, except in the regular
way.
