He went home. When he reached his

Leila had left no word Of her own

called for Daphne. She was gone, too,
with no word Of her return.

The Home Of the Playground

European cities may excel in other lines Of
enterprise, but no country leads the
United States in the number of public play
grounds and the facilities for recreation offered
to the children.
The establishment of Fairgrounds is a dis
tinctive contribution to the worlds play. Greece
emphasized the Importance of play and sports
for adults, and Great Britain democratized sports
in her schools and universities. The United
States, however, was the first nation to provide
adequate recreational facilities for the children.
Last year more than 400 cities maintained
1000 public Fairgrounds. No one can tell ac-
curatey how many children took advantage Of
their facilities. Besides the presence of many
public Fairgrounds, thousands of cities have
clubs, organizations, and churches that maintain
places where boys and girls may enjoy athletic
pastmes. Few Keep Off the Grass signs are
to be found in our public parks nowadays. Chill
dren are invited to enjoy themselves in the open
places maintained by our municipalities.
The full effects of the playground systems
will be noted in the sturdy boys and girls who
are to be found enjoying the equipment that a.
thoughtful public has provided.
No one can visit Glen Miller park, public play
ground, watch the children using the equip
ment of the school yards without becoming con-
WINGED of the wisdom of spending money for the
maintenance of these places. Richmond was one
of the first cities to take up with the movement.
Year by year it is increasing the play facilities.
1t is a movement that has every argument in its
favor and none against it.

overseas or at home; thirdly, the organization is
to be strictly civilian, where every man will have
an equal right to assert his opinions and an equal
vote.
The collective effort of the young men who
served in the World War to further the welfare
of the public and to keep the veterans keenly
alive to their duties as citizens, will be felt in our
national life They have it within their power
to become powerful agency in promoting the
common good. Their espousal of high principles
at the very outset should give the organization
firm basis for growth and expansion.
Their first caucus at St. Louis proved that
despite their young years most of them possessed
and exercised excellent judgment. The lofty atti-
tude they have assumed toward their duties as
citizens will rebound greatly to the expansion o.
the Legion and the promotion of feeling of good
will and mutual assistance.
The work of perfecting the Wayne county
branch of the Legion is progressing with salts
factory results. The adoption of name for the
post, the appointment of committees, as we'll as
the general interest which the veterans are TAX
ing in the movement, show that the service men
of the community are alive to the situation here.

The American Legion

The American Legion has espoused principles
which should make it powerful force for good
in our republic. From it's very inception, its
founders have asserted that no attempt would be
made to gouge the government. Col Roosevelt,
vocing the opposition of the Legion to the six
months pay bonus, said: 1--WE are not going t.
try to sandbag the government; primarily we are
going to try to put something into the govern

In his speech at indianapolis, Col. Roosevelt
enunciated the following principles: First, the or

policies not with partisan politics; secondly, it is
to be composed of all men who served, whether

Salaries for Policemen and Firemen

The public and city officials should not over
look the wage scale paid to policemen and fire
men. These men have been hit as hard by the
increased cost of living as have persons IN other
walks of life. They perform public service of
great Importance.
The protection of life and property is en-
duty always and must answer calls that leopard
ize their lives. Failure to perform their duties
is accepted as cowardice. Their hours are regu
lated by rules.
Men who devote virtually all their time to the
public good should be paid adequate salaries The
city should appreciate their services by paying
them salaries that are in proportion to the time
and attention they give to the interests of the
community.

Hoodlumism and Rioting

Richmond has been disgraced by the display
the typical mob spirit smashed in the doors and
windows of the offices and plants of the NAL
lcable, F. and N. and Reliance foundry COM
panes.
Regardless of the questions at issue between
striking workmen and employers, window smash
ing tactics never have and never will settle in
dustrial disputes Such measures are only taken
by hot heads and immature youngsters, and
both of these classes when they take the initial
i've simply and solely lead into trouble.
Mob spirit is peculiar. 1t will not tolerate
calm judgment 1t delights in destruction and
by so doing adds to everyone's cost of living
Practically all businesses carry riot insurance.
The cost of this insurance is covered in the price
of practically everything we buy. Therefore, the
more riots there are and the more windows that
are thereby broken, the higher goes the cost Of
riot insurance. This simply means higher prices
for everyone, rioters as well as law abiding
citizens.
When the mob started stone throwing Thurs
day night calm headed workmen tried without
success to stop it. The hot-heads and hoodlums
most of whom had no connection with the mould
ers on strike, however, would not listen to reason.
They wanted to indulge freely their appetites for
destruction. One young hoodlum in the uniform
of messenger boy was particularly conspicuous
for window breaking.
Workngmen have right to strike. Their
cause is lost, however, when violence develops.
Public opinion will not tolerate violence and law
lessness. Generally it is not the strikers who
start the violence 1t is their pretended sympa-
thizers who butt in and make mess of things.
A crowd is easily turned into bowling MOB
and under the excitement of the moment ind-
viduals do things they sincerely regret later in
their saner senses The way to prevent mobs is
to keep crowds from congregating. Richmond s
police force should be increased until it numbers
enough resolute men to cope with such situa-
ton as arose Thursday night. Then it should be
trained to keep units of people seeking to crowd
together on the move and dispense them. There
will be no mob if there is no crowd.
This does not mean to interfere with orderly
and decent picketing by striking workmen.
Rather it is as much for the advantage of such
strikers it is for the protection of the property
where they expect to work again when their in
dustrial differences have been ironed out.
