sion in full follows: Tn considering the proposed issuance Of municipal bonds, there are several outstanding facts which seem to have been over looked by the commission and which tight call for some revision of the program as announced.
 No Provision For Maintenance
 No provision has apparently been made for maintenance and operation of the parks and by operation mean the providing of an adequate system of park police and also of trained supervisors not only for the playgrounds for small children, but for the older boys and girls as well.
 If the remaining three mills of the tax still permitted to be voted is to be used for school purposes and for the creation of a sinking fund to retire bonds issued largely for school purposes, where are we to SC . cure the necessary funds for admin istering parks?
 T personally would much prefer that vice be restrained to four en- closing walls than to provide unregu- lated and unsupervised parks only to become places where no decent per son can afford to be seen. If the parks cannot he efficiently operated. we are better off without them.
 The appropriation of the sum of s750, 0o0 for parks and playgrounds is a fine step in the right direction. but in my opinion is entirely made quate even for a beginning.
 Present Park Acreage
 'The city now owns about $50 acres of parks, 45o of which are within the city limits and readily accessible. (The other 200 acres are in the old Red mountain cemetery on the Twen. ty-fourth street road-a beautiful piece of property but accessible only to autoists.l

the Majestic Theatre closing tonight
his engagement in "Shackles of
Gold" This production and the
star who is in It makes this one OF

MANY ENJOY PARK
FIREWORKS DISPLAY

The fireworks display, which had
been postponed from the Fourth Of
July, was watched by seven thou
sand persons at Shellpot Park last
night. The display. which was de-
layed longer than expected because
Of the inability OF the fireworks ex-
perts TO be here. was about the
most elaborate and attractive ever
held Of the park.
Not only were the trolley cars,
running to the park both from this
city and from Chester crowded. but
several hundred automobiles were
parked in the field adjoining the
park. Il was the biggest night for
Shellpot Park in a number OF years
and numerous people asked the park
management 10 make the displays
frequently. Predictions had been
made that the date would prove too
far from the Fourth Of July but the
crowds showed that the people
wanted the display and were will
ing to travel to the park TO see it.
Even the park management was
surprised at the size of the crowd
The display consisted Of thirty-iive
numbers and there were several set
pieces including Niagara Falls and
the American flag, both OF which
made a big hit with the crowds. An
other innovation was firing a salute
five minutes before the display was
given to notify the crowds that the
display was about 20 begin.
Because of the success OF this big
event It was decided to begin the
toy hunts at the park on Tuesday
afternoon when children who find
the hidden tickets in the park will
be presented with handsome toys
Fuller details of this will be an
nounced later.

itself for the past week.
The girl of the play IS named
Patricia but her lack Of reverence for
the conventions soon earned her the
sobriquet. Patsy and It in a way
expressed much Of the quaint char
acter Of the girl. She is first seen
in home for working girls of which
she has become an intimate through
force OF circumstances. There IS
Miss Harper in charge of the home,
who believes in the strictest dis
cipline for the girls and makes them
toe the mark rigtdly. Patsy has
always taken care OF herself and
knows not the meaning Of discipline.
Hence It IS not long before the two
are at clinches. The occasion is a
festival at the home where thev are
putting on q play and all the pa
tronesses ard their friends are gath

In the midst Of this a battle between
Miss Harper and Patsy IS overheard

the lady that she offers to take Patsy

vantage Of education and environ

Considerable interest has been
drawn during the past week to the
recent change in name OF American
Legion Post, No. 5, formerly known
as the Norman d. Scott Post. and a
complication which has drawn Wes-
ley Taylor, chaplain OF the post into
the matter.
AT a meeting Of the post last week,
it was unanimously decided by those
present, according to reports given
to the press. TO change the name OF
the post to the Lewis A. Taylor Post.
This was done not as a matter of
petty jealousy, it was said. but mere
" as matter of showing greater
honor to those who had actually died
on the field Of battle, in preference
to those who died of disease while
in the service.
1t was contended that greater
honor should be shown to Taylor,
who enlisted during the early part
OF the war in the Fifteenth New
York National Guard, which was
later merged into the Ninety-third
Division, one of the first negro COM
bat divisions to cross the sea. Scott,
It was pointed out. had not died on
the field of battle, as did Taylor, who
was wounded on May, 80, 1918. in
the Champaign sector, but had in
stead died OF disease.
Last Monday, at a meeting OF the
City Committee. 1t was announced
that James II. Sewell. organizer Of
the Norman d. Scott Post. had pro-
tested emphatically against the
change IN the posts name, and was
making active plans for the organ
ization OF a new post. He later made
known the fact that he had applied
for new charter. and claimed he
could organize at once with men,

but new complication. develop
ing out of a confusion of names,
yesterday brought II into print
again. The new name OF the post,
Lewis A. Taylor. was in some man
ner mixed with that OF Wesley Tay-
lor. chaplain Of the post.
Yesterday James Sewell wrote a
letter to the public press, in which
he declared that the change In the
posts name was an insult to a Gold
star Mother, and called upon the
other negro veterans In the city 20
