ing Municipal Pools.
Swimming Hole VIII Be Built
in ChiIdrens' Park.
USE FOR A RINK IN WINTER

to Determine Safety.
Ideal Place for an Outing of To-
peka Youngsters.

In line with the recently adopted
policy of extending playground work.

be opened in Chi1dren's park, w. l.
Porter, commissioner of parks and
public buildings announced this morn
ing. The work will be commenced
this week The swimming hole will
be open to the public the latter part
of the month.
The new swimming hole will be
built in part of an old channel of
Wards creek. The stream formerly
mcandered about the park. A year
ago a new channel was built near the
carded channel since has dried out
completely.
The old channel offers every advan-
tage for a small swimming hole. a
layer Of solid rock covers the bottom
This will be topped with cement. Fa
cilities for properly draining the pool
as well as provision for obtaining
fresh water are to be provided.
While the pool will be open to
everyone, it is being designed espe-
who recently have made the park I'M
usually popular. The hole will be but
200 feet long and SO feet wide. 1t will
be four feet deep and with the solid
cement and rock bottom will offer
every safeguard the city can possibly
provide in a municipal swimming pool.
Several little houses where children
can get into their bathing toys will be
erected. Plans also provide for en-
pioyment of a man who will spend
practically all of his time at the park
with a view to rendering any assist
ance they may require. He will have
full CHI rye of the swimming pool.
According to plans outlined by Com
missioner Porter this morning. the
pool will be converted into a muEici-
nal skating rink in the winter Ice
will be tested regularly to determine
its safety. The pool will not be deep
enough to endanger lives of children if
ice should break, dropping skaters into
the water.
With opening of the new swimming
hole, the park should be one of most
popular in the city. A fireplace re-
Gently was built, picnic tables have
been installed and running water has

French Perfect Shell That Brelks
Into 1000 Pieces.

Paris, July ga new shell that
breaks into 1000 pieces when explod-
ed has just been put into service and
is expected to give the French, al
ready the champion artillerymen, d
leadership that will probably not be
Overtaken in this war. Whether the
new explosives are being used in the
Somme offensive is not known For
months the French have been expert
menting to get shell of the highest

heVed to answer the problem.
IF you can get a piece of shell as
big as the point of pin head into the
liver Of an enemy soldier you've put
