Cjty in Mountain,

In southern Tunisia is mountain
of considerable size called Douirat,
which once upon n time was an active
volcano. Bubbles of volcanic gases
made it veritable honeycomb of
caves, which in these days are inhab-
tied. In fact, the whole mountain is
a city-a human ant-hill, densely pop
ulated.

FAIRGROUNDS AFFORD
ONLY AMUSEMENT
ON SOUTH SIDE

Why that is the only thing VIC have
down hrrc for amusement" is the reply
that Chatham Sinclair made to the
query as to the need of the playground
in the southern end Of the city. Mr..
Sinclair Is an enthusiastic booster Tor
the Clark playground at Fcrty-sixth
street and believes that tho city should
put it's shoulder to the wheel ana as
sist in developing the playground 10
greater usefulness. The druggist de-
clarcd that his part Of town has the
hest material for any kind Of athletic
team and all that Is needed Is to I'm.
prove the grounds and give the teams
a chance to develop.
This particular conversation Is typt-
cal Of tho spirit in that part Of Wheel
ing toward the Clark playground. No
other plan Of city development would
meet with such popular approval as the
development Of recreation facilities at
this end Of town. At the Fourth or
July celebration conducted by the play
ground association at this field one Of
the largest thronRs ever frcQucnting the
grounds were entertained by races and
fireworks showing that the people OF
the community do not so elsewhere for
recreation even on a big holiday when
folks generally try to so to some rccrc-
alton spot. OF all the Fairgrounds IN
Wheeling that attract large crowds and
need development this playground
stands first and should be given most
serious attention.
