OWNERS LEND LOT
: FORAPLAYGROUND
Mai. and Mrs. W. G. Erving
Offer Space for Use of
Jackson School.

Mai and Mrs. W. G. Erving Of 1915
3lst street today offered a vacant lot
in the rear of their home to the chill
dren of the jackson School for play
ground.
News of the offer was conveyed to
Mrs Susie Root Rhodes. supervisor of
Fairgrounds, by Principal Cora A.
Ossire of the Jackson School, with a
request for any playground apparatus
which the city has available.
This is the first response to be re-
ceived since Mrs. Rhodes appealed for
the use of privately vacant
ground for the boys of the city as a
result of the decision of the police to
stop ball games in the streets
Hopes for Other Offers.
Although the offer of the Ervings
will, in reality. be an addition to the
play space of the Jackson School 31st
and Avon place. Mrs. Rhodes said she
hopes it will induce other property
owners to allow the use of their
ground until the Commissioners can
obtain appropriations from Congress
for the purchase of more Fairgrounds.
The lot in the rear of the Erving
home is not in condition for use. but
the larger boys of the school have
volunteered to assist the janitor in
clearing it. The principal Of the
school welcomed the offer because the
jackson has only a small yard.
Want School Yard Opened.
Citizens of the southwest section
called on Mrs. Rhodes yesterday with
a request that she endeavor to have
the Jefferson School yard opened aft
er school hours as a recreation space
for the boys of that community.
Mrs Rhodes said today that she
would be glad, with the approval of
the school principals, to open many
of the big school yards after class
hours, but her force of supervisors is
not large enough to take charge of
the grounds. She may be able, she
said, to open a few of them.

Persons subject to bilious attacks at regular intervals know about when to expect an attack. They find that they have no desire for food when an attack is due but usually eat because it is mealtime.
