The Pangburn Post, in conjunc-
ton with the Bath County Post Of
the American Legion, celebrated Ar

drive in Flat Greek valley. Dressed
in their uniforms and armed only

extent Of some forty dead and an
unknown number wounded.
At noon the Legionnaires formed

BRIDAL PARTIES RUN
 TO ESCAPE SHINAREE

Hearing that their friends had planned a big charivari to celebrate their marriage, supposed to have been solmenized at Little Rock Saturday night, Earl J. Woodall and Grace Kennedy, and Otho Johnson and Zelma Kennedy, gave the would-be cele- brants the slip, and motored to Con- way to have their marriages consum- mated. MT. Johnson was the far sighted groom and had his license ready when the start was made from Little Rock. MT. Woodall, however, was caught unawares and had to se- cure license after reaching here. He located J. H. Hartje, who issued the certicate in the name of County Clerk John Reeves.
 The first offensive of their campaign finished, the two bridal couples were stlll minus the necessary official County Judge J. A. Lea answered a midnight summons, and officiated. MT. and Mrs. Woodall and Mr. and Mrs. Johnson made the trip back Satur- day night. Their chaperons, Mir. and Mrs, Chester Hailey of Little Rock, remained over until Sunday morn ing, being the guests of MT. and Mrs sam Bell. The trouble undergone was worth the price, the couples said to have escaped the celebration.

CORDRFY TO LEAD
 IMALARIAL SURVEY FIGHT MOSQUITO PEST
Normal Science Head Offers Services Gratis to City to Lead Drive on
 Disease Breeders.

! A malaral survey, with the object of ridding Conway of mosquitoes, will be started about April 1 by the city Mayor w. D. Cole said this morning "The survey will be carried out until there are no more mosquitoes in Conway" MT. Cole said, "even if it requires six months or more"
 Under the direction of the state board of health, it would cost the city of Conway approximately $4000 to carry on the work, MT. Cole said. However, Prof. E. E. Cordrey of the science department of the Arkansas State Normal School has protfered his services to the city without cost, and he will have complete charge of the work. By rendering his services free Prof. Cordrey will be saving the city approximately S3000, as it is thought the work can now be carried out for about $1 ,000.
 | The first step in the campaign against the mosquito, Mr. Cole said, will be that of employing a competent man to devote his entire time to car rying out the work as designed by Prof. Cordrey. Several men have offered their services but as yet, nc one has been selected. It will De the duty of this man to inspect every back yard and alley in Conway at stated intervals. All tin cans and rubbish that might be a breeding place for the mosquito will be moved by the city to the city dumping ground, just east of the Oak Grove cemetery
 The three means of combating the mosquito as outlined by Prof. Cordrey will be the use of oil, drainage, and inspection. The oil will be poured on the surface of small pools where there is no chance for drainage. It will also be used to a considerable extent in the drainage ditches. Wherever possible, low and marshy places in and around Conway will be drained, there by stopping the growth of the larvae of the mosquito. The inspection, of course, will take care of the places about the homes and business build ings of the city where pools of water might collect and offer chance for the growth of the larve.
 ! A sanitary survey will also be start ed as soon as the malarial survey is well under way, Mayor Cole said this morning, but plans for this work have not as yet been completed,

dition. The grass was cut to proper
height and all the Fairgrounds were
given constant attention.
Facilities I'm Constant Demand.
As an evidence of the patronage of
these Fairgrounds, Maj. Ridley states
that during the month of June alone
special permits for various recrea-
tions were issued as follows: Tennis
Potomac Park. 1877; Monument
grounds. 1862; Montrose Park. 11s;
Garfield Park. Al; grass courts, So,
and base ball, 1872 teams. These per-
mits were used by S4,143 individual
tennis players and 1880 base ball
players. A large number of permits
also were issued in each case for pc
RODS of about four months each. In
all other cases permits are issued by
the calendar month, but an exception
is made in the issue of golf permits.
inasmuch as no special assignment of
playing time is necessary. More than
1900 players used the golf course
during the year. The demand for
the tennis courts during the spring
and summer of 1920 was exceedingly
heavy. It has been found that the
courts south of the tidal basin, al
though more distant from the resi-
Dental and business sections OF the
city, are fully as popular as those in
the Washington Monument grounds.

Base Ball Fields Popular.


The base ball grounds also were in
great demand this spring and sum-
mer. The rule heretofore adopted to
allow no team more than one reserved
period during the week was continued
in force.
Maj. Ridley said it proved of great
benefit in assuring fair and equitable
assignment of the use of the grounds.
In connection with that rule each
team holding a permit for particu-
lar day was allowed the privilege of
playing at any time on any unoccu-
pied diamond. These grounds also
were enjoyed by large numbers of
persons who witnessed the games. 1t
is estimated that 100000 spectators
viewed the games during the year.
Considerable progress is reported
in the construction of the eighteen
hole golf course in East Potomac
Park Nine of the holes have been
the entire course as soon as FUNDS
are appropriated.
Theater Used Fl Times.
The Sylvan Theater on the Monu-
ment grounds was used twenty-one
times during the year by various pub
lie and private organizations for
pageants, dancing. concerts, plays.
ETC.. at which it is estimated there
Enlargement and improvements in
the public bathing heath in the tidal
basin are contemplated. Approved
plans include an extension of the
women's wing of the bathhouse SIM
liar to that recently made to the
mems wing. Work will begin at the
close of the present bathing season,
and will be completed early next sum-
mer.
During the season Of 1919 the beach
was used by 100000 people. The
largest attendance on any single day
was LOO swimmers. The attend
ance during the present season was
even greater. but the records have
not yet been completed.
The tidal basin was used by the
general public for skating on twenty
five days during the past winter, and
it is estimated that $4,000 persons in
dulged in this health-giving sport.
Funds Used With Great Care.
1.-THE policy of the Office" says Maj.
Ridley, has been maintained con-
stantly with a view to rendering with
the limited means available. the most
efficient service possible, in conform
ity with the purposes for which the
appropriations have been made.
''These appropriations have never
been adequate to meet the demands
upon them, but diligent and unsparing
effort has been successful in produc-
ing results which have been largely
appreciated by the public and were Of
great benefit to those who awaited
themselves Of the privilege Of using
them"
