said Judge Ben b. Lindsey, the famous
Juvenile court judge, when asked how
the children Of America could help win
the war.

Treasury William McAdoo In his mes

must win this war. We can and we
snail win, II the boys and girls of
America say so, and mean it, and feel
II, and live 1t, as the boys and girls Of
20 felt and lived and helped.
The nation needs that sort of boys
and girls today. Not to beat our
drums, nor to load our muskets. but to
( start a great work which must be done.
IL is the part of the boys and girls to-
day to give an example Of self-denial
and sacrifice, to teach fathers and
mothers to teach the grown people of
me nation that we still have in every
young heart the spirit Of &c when the
eoys led our soldiers into battle. and
The girls fought beside their fathers at
The cabin walls. The lesson Is thrift
saving TO the point of sacrifice--selr-
denial of everything unnecessary"
Young America needs no urging to
DO its part for victory. Reports from
the schools show that the youngsters
are making sacrifices and doing their
share of war work with the spirit of
the boys and girls Of &c.

policeman guilty of ,>e stepping his
authority, and an investigation into
whether streetcar conductor has the
right to refuse passage on a very hot
day to small, barefooted, bareheaded
boy just because he happened to be
carrying a bundle almost as large as
himself. 1t was a busy. week. But it
was profitable.
Do you happen to kpow how man
can be punished for beating or over
loading horse? Do you know whether
under the law the street railways have
the right to refuse you : transfer un-
less you ask for it al the time YOU pav
your fare? Have you sny idea of the.
rights of pedestrian to be run down
by an automobile? la you ever try
leaving flower pot or the fire escape
when the inspector cones around? Did
any one ever tell you what happened
to woman who brushed lot of snow
from window sill or Sfe head of a
passerby, and what she learned there
by about the legal relations of side
walk and window sill?

children who chilled or hungry. Using
the heavy swing supports base, tbe boys
of the next door grammar school should have
enough ingenuity to construct very satisfac-
tory toboggan slide. And if they haven't they
should read "Thc American Boys Handy
Book" by Dan Beard, and learn how.
To use little park as an amusement place
is no new thing. Such public pleasure gardens
were common enough in Philadelphia in the
seventeenth century, and much enjoyed by the
folk of that day.
There are other parks where nearby school
children could with advantage be allowed to
do some of the gardening-but that is another
story.
And there are other uses, plenty of them,
which the woman citizen would find for the
salt water connections which now stand as a
monument to the Mcclellan administration
but that also is another story
There are plenty of other places, too where
swimming pools and sand gardens could con-
vcniently be installed But these improve
ments will come later if we begin with build
ing a pool in Hudson Park, which is more
suited for this use than any other SPOT in the
city.
And the expense of transforming it-com-
pared to the expense of transporting soil to
Jersey, of tons of needless masonry, of laying
water connections through an entire city that
are never used-the expense is as that of

All Made Over,
Like Last Years Clothes

The wire netting which now surrounds the
basin should be retained and placed further
back to include all the imported sandy beach.
And its purpose would be changed. Instead
of being placed there to exclude the children
it would include the children and exclude the
dogs and cats from utilizing the children's
playground.
Near the school there should be small re-
freshment station in charge of the school
lunch committee, where sand toys, pals and
shovels might be sold at the lowest possible
price, as we'll as food
In the winter the pool would have another
mission. If it were emptied of salt water and
filled with fresh, Jack Frost would turn it
into skating pond and give the inhabitants
of the neighborhood far more enjoyment than
anything they could have done there last
winter.
woman park commissioner would make of
the whole little place delightful winter as
we'll as summer playground 1t would be
lighted in the evening, and Japanese lanterns
on special occasions would make the skating
pond most attractive place. And at the
nearby refreshment stand, in charge of the
school lunch committee, something hot and
wholesome could be bought at low prices for

nous expense, salt water connection with
the water mains made all over the city
so that IN case of fire the river water could be
turned into the pipes. The contention was
that salt water could be thrown higher and
with greater force than fresh, there being no
limit to it's volume
After the elaborate work was completed the
salt water was never used. Underwriters oh
Jected, saying that the salt water was so ruin
Gus to buildings that it's use was impractical.
But the connections remain, and it would be
matter of no great difficulty or expense to
turn salt water into the Hudson Park pool and
make 1T better than ever for children to
play in.
AS to practical details, since we are Greek
neither In thought nor habit of life. there
would be bathing suits. And the wearing and
styles OF these bathing suits would naturally
be controlled after the regulations that hold
at Coney Island other city bathing places.
Ihe bather could bring his own suit or one
could be rented for small sum, as at the
municipal baths. And during the summer the
nearby school could offer locker facilities with
out any overexertion
The water would be constantly flowing in
and out, the tank empted and cleansed once
a day. If the City Fathers would stand for It
the pool might be "waved," like that at Pali-
sades Park

WH&N Madame Knickerbocker's en-
l.2~@ trance into politics will mark
wholly new form of city economy which her
brother in politics will find exasperatng or
heartening. according to what his conception
is of city money and how it should be spent
Quite possibly Mother Knickerbocker may
exercise her ancient conjugal right and go
through Father Knickerbocker's pockets while
he sleeps on his job.
The instinct for petty economies is a thing
that has been hammered into woman for cen
turles. Her skill in stretching pennies to the
utmost, induced by the where's the five cents
| gave you last week. attitude of her mate;
the small, almost pcayune, ways of saving to
which she is incessantly exhorted by almost
every woman's page in the country, and for
which she is alternately praised or censured
as the economy reacts comfortably or uncom-
fortably on the family-all this will figure
prominently in woman's idea of how the city's
money should be spent:
"If we arrange our budget with great care,
Father Knickerbocker.". she will say "these
ofhclals won't need so many deputies. It's
far better for them to do their own work-I
have dsne mine for years; then we shall be
able to accomplish all that is needed for the
children in Fairgrounds, gardens, lunches and
so on"
And Father Knickerbocker will give an un-
comfortable assent, while his partner scans
with keen and pitiless eye the record of city
expenditures never before barred to her eyes,
AND that old excuse, necessary expenses" is
not swallowed by Mother Knickerbocker any
more than the explanation of Sitting alone
