Hot Winds

The winds were fried before
delivered; the corn stalks IN
them curled and quivered, they
shriveled in the sun oh, now the
men who run the weather should
change their campaign all to-
gether-hot winds won't whip
the Hun. The corn was healthy,
strong and nifty; I've never seen
ii look more thrifty, twas green
and full of juice; the farmers
sat them down to figure upon a
harvest three times bigger than
common years produce. And
then the ratified weather prophet
shipped in lot of wind from
Tophet. where it was doubly
troiled; he turned it loose upon
those rtgions where corn stalks
grew id rustling legions, and all
the crop was spoiled. The
weather. man should surely
catch it he did it with his little
Ratchet, land can't get through
with bdnk; another golden
dream is busted, another hope
lies red and rusted, and only fit
for junk We are not desolate,
forsaken;w we have alfalfa, wheat
and bacon, rolled oats and
Wholesome bran; we have excel
sior and leHuce-the kindly gods
will not forget us, though corn's
also ram Then let us bravely
bear reversal; we can't improve
things much with curses, or
rending of Aur hair; we still
have prunesA and beans and
squashes, and we will surely
whip the boches, so speak not of
despair. WILT MASON.

Maj. Rice was caught in a night
gas attack on the British front last
spring and nearly lost his life. He
declined a prolonged sick furlough,
which was offered him by the general
officers of the air service. in the be-
lief that he could overcome the eff
fects of the gas without treatment.
This proved not to be the case aud
he now is under special treatment.
Physicians at the hospital state that
his condition is improving and that
blood TRANSMISSION may not have to be
resorted to as was first expected.

SHOWS PARK EQUIPMENT
FOR OUTDOOR SPORTS
Col. Ridley Reports on the Fa-
acilities in City for Athletic
Recreation.

| According to Col. Clarence S. Rid
ley. the engineer officer in charge Of
public buildings and grounds. the
popularity of the recreation features
of the public parks of the District
is attested by the great number of
people who daily make use of the
facilities provided for out-of-door
games and pasttimes. In a report
just made to the chief of engineers
| he shows that the existing facilities
provided in these parks for athletic
! diamonds, fourteen tennis courts, a
| three-hole golf course, a cricket field,
| two polo fields, a croquet court, a.
| hockey field, soccer ball field, a
hurting field and facilities for broad
| jumps, high jumps and pole vaulting.
! Tennis Courts Reduced.
| The number of tennis courts was
reduced by the destruction of twenty
three courts in Potomac Park and
fifteen in Henry Park, the sites of
temporary buildings erected for the
| War and Navy Departments. These
courts were partially replaced by ten
new courts laid out in other sections
of Potomac Park.
Col. Ridley says that about 10000
persons used the public tennis courts
during the past fiscal year, notwith-
standing the reduction in their num-
Der. The demand for base ball grounds
is spreading, he said, and during the
past spring and summer was so over
whelming that it was necessary to di-
vide the playing period between 4:30
o'clock and dark into two parts.
About 10000 players used the dia-
monds during the past year. and the
! attendance of spectators was esti-
mated at $4,000.
| Seek to Afford Greatest Benefit.
1.-THE continuous effort of this Office"
says Col. Ridley, has been to render
| service which would be of the
greatest benefit to the public with
the least practicable restriction upon
the use of the facilities furnished for
the several forms of recreation au-
thorized by Congress. The appropria-
tons which have been made from
year to year have not been sufficient
to provide adequate means of meet
ing the demands, but no pains have
been spared in utilizing to the best
advantage the resources at hand.
1.-The success of these efforts is DEM
| onstrated by many expressions of ap-
probation by those who have used
these privileges/and by the high char
acter of craftsmanship which has
| been evinced in the enjoyment of the
! parks for these purposes"
