such a great chanse could come about

tourist arriving here would find a sign
on all apartments and rooming houses,
announcing rooms for rent.

had the good luck, after d weary
search, OF finding u place with one va
cant room, which in former times rent
cd for 80 cents, but now costs $50. l
went to the Office the NEXT day and the
clerk said he didn't think I was going
to stay any Ionger and ne had rented
my room to another party. l started
another hunt for place 10 sleep and
after long search located a very ordi-

wanted to rent it.
AT the place where my room was
re-rcnted while 1 still occupied It, l

lars to bring the worlds fair to Los

Susie Root Rhodes, su-
pervisor OF Fairgrounds,
writes US that the asso-
citation will lose four OF
its grounds in the very
near future. This in
spite OF the fact that
there Is urgent need for
MORE Fairgrounds at
once.
For the sake OF the
city and the comfort Of
the mothers let US not
reduce Washington to a
street playing town for
"lIiddies."
n necessary let us
turn some Of our circles
and our vast public
parks into Fairgrounds.
Let us establish perma-
nent Fairgrounds if
we've got to tear down
q few OF our residences,
Or apartments, bad as we
need them.
The killing OF a child,
forced into the street
through no place to
play, may mean the de-
structiOn Of a Lincoln
or q Shakespeare. Give
the children Fairgrounds

Silver And Silence

Since the destruction began
 two months agu. says Wash. ington despatch, GA. ooo. GOO sil- yer dollars have 6een melted in
 to bullion and urst of it export ed t0 India " Te4se melted coins are part of the stock of about i70, ,000,00 which the Govern ment has carried over in storage from it's indulgence in the silver delusion of twenty years or m ore ago, and approxima' ely an eoual amount of the representative silver certificates has been taken from circulation and destroyed
 At this rate, virtually all of the coined stock will have disappear
 ed year frotu now. Then. ap
 narent!!y, mu>ti5 be written that
 the crown of thorns has been pressed down for keeps upon the brow of labor and that the crucifixion of mankind on a cross of gold is an accomplished fact.
 But perhaps only apparently. There is something in the law authorizing this destruction of the old silver dollars which re- quires the coincident purchase of an equal amount of new silver bullion at 8 dollar an ounce. What is being done on that line? Are we settling the old silver dollar problem by way of creat- ing another in a new form? The silence of Washington on this point may or may not be signiti- cant. But the silence of the in- termOuntain members of Con gress is load enough to jar any listening ear.
