The whole playground movement which
brought with it the athletic field for adults is OF
very recent growth. The last decade has prac-
tically seen its development. Boston is generally
credited with being the pioneer in this field,
since the first organized outdoor playground was
established in that city in 1885, Bostonians are
fond of tracing their tradition in this matter back
to colonial days. when party OF Boston boys
playing on the common were chased off by group
of British soldiers The boys with true Pilgrim
spirit carried their case to Governor Gage, who
gave orders that the children of the town should
be protected in their play.
All in all, the results OF the census bureaus
investigation are illuminating. They show great
progress in the municipal recreation movement.
They show, too, that there is room for much
greater progress in the future. The aggregate OF
tennis courts and base bali diamonds and other
facilities is not unimposing but, compared with
population of the 2l3 cities of the richest nation
in the world it is clearly only beginning The
entire value of the municipal park property OF
these American cties--all the park property, not
the athletic fields and Fairgrounds alone-is
81 2l2,0 100000 This is only about per cent OF
what the United States will appropriate for war
purposes in one year. Considering the wealth OF
the communities interested it is safe prophecy
that this figure will be increased many times as
the movement for municipal play takes wider root.

HOT WATER AS A REST CURE
Four Hours in Bath Good as Eight
in Bed.

Four Hours in Bath Good as Eight
in Bed.
Sleeping in a bathtub full of water
kept at blood temperature is claimed
by some physicians to give the re-
uuired amount OF rest in half the time
that sleeping in bed requires. In
other words, four hours sleep in a
bathtub filled with water at the proper
empe.T.ture-and always maintained
at that temperature--will result in the
exact amount of restfulness that eight
hours in bed will give.
The explanation is that warm water
completely relaXes the nerves, which
ordinary sleep does not necessarily do.
The most difficult part of the treat
ment is in maintaining the water at
a constant temperature. For the pur-
pose of accomplishing this result, a
middle-western manufacturer has re-
Gently brought out on the market a
thermostatic water control apparatus.
In practice, the patient climbs into
bathtub filled with water, his head
protruding thru a hole in rubber
blanket which is strapped around the
edges of the tub. Water constantly
flows in at one end of the tub, and out
at the other.

Muskogee, Okla, Dec. with the
removal to prison of eighty-six draft
resisters who had pleaded guilty be.
fore Judge Ralph E. Campbell in Uni.

who go to the federai JAN at Vinita,
and thirty.four who will serve short

FAT AND CREATE MORE REV.
ENUE, Is CLAIM.
BIG LIQUOR OUTPUT
Despite Spread OF Dry Territory. Gov
ernment Revenue Figures Show
Marked Increase and Is Greatest
Revenue.

Washington. Dec. Reduction Of
the ten cents a pound on colored oleo-
margarine. both as war measure to
increase the production Of food fats
and as a means of actually yielding
more aggregate revenue, was recon-
mended in the annual report of the in
ternal revenue bureau issued today over
the name Of w. II. Osborn. who has
recently been succeeded as commission
er by Daniel C. Roper.
Another recommendation prompted
by war conditions was that the govern
ment should assume control, manufac-
ture and use OF narcotic drugs, needed
for Red Cross work.
The report cited the $500 $4,000 re
June as "the largest in the history Of
the bureau" but pointed out that that
record would be broken by the esti-
mated receipts for the current year un-
der the new war tax law.
The greatest source of taxation was
distilled liquors. the production OF which
showed a marked increase. despite the
extension Of prohibition territory.
The principal collections for the
twelve months were as follows:
Distilled spirits $1s7 .2Ss.0 900; ferment-
ed liquors $91 O94. 900: individual income
tax $1s0.10s.00o; corporation income
tax sl79.539,000; manufactured tobacco
