Their Lives
MAYOR ADDRESSES CROWD

More than 10000 persons thronged
the Parkway between Seventeenth and
Eighteenth streets last night to attend
the first of this years municipal dances.
The crowd pressed forward against
the ropes as the word went round that
the Mayor was coming and the dance
would begin. Children. sitting on the
curblng, jumped up. shouting, laugh
ing and stumbling, rushed to the center
and surrounded the stand on which the
police band was seated
The hubbub gradually quietcd as the
Mayor made his way up the steps to
the platform. accompanied by Director
Warburton. Miss Marguerite Walz,
Mrs. Moore. Mrs. Paul Barnes. Mrs.
II. Blair Spencer and little Mary
Spencer.
Mayor Moore who was introduced by
Director We rhurton. said that the Park
way had been built for the benefit of all
the people. AT one end IS baseball
gone, AT the other a municipal band
concert. which is being enjoyed by GOnO
people. And here Is a dance which we
want all to enjoy. There need be no
dancing in dark halls in any part Of the
city, for we intend to have these dances
out Kensington way and West Phila-
dclphia. where everyone can have good
time
After the Mayors speech. Miss Walz,
carrying a huge bouquet sent her with
, hest wishes for good luck and success,
expressed hope that she would have az
much co operation this gear as she had
last, and said that she was there not 70
much TO censor rs to help the dancers.
Then the signal was given, Joseph
Kiefer lifted his baton, the ffty-twn
instruments blared forth. the crowd

Round and round the Parkway they
danced. the policemen stationed along
the square keeping the dancers constant
ly moving in a circle.
Freckles glistened, eyes sparkled and
struggling hair fell down over the tiushed
cheeks of the Youngsters as they watched
their sisters and mothers and fathers
and brothers dance.
II wanna dance" said one wiry little
chap as he grinned engagingly and
wiped the back of his dirty hand across
his check. "Comc on. Mike. Let's get
Ms girl and dance. And Of he dashed,
but parental authority overlook him and
he was forced back to the side lines to
watch and mourn his fate.
Far up on the balconies Of a dim,
Kray building number of figures could
be seen. They We're hospital patients
who had com" ont to see III" fun in
which they could not participate.
The music. which had stopped for
moment. started again, and the crowd
surged forward.

wicked hoof" He did. Arms and
Jaws working, legs flying, shoulders
shaking, he sped on.

ing stick on her palm. They are
doing the shilnmy.
The scene shifted. and there came
INTO view the laughing. upturned faces
of two girls with curly bobbed hair.
Their grip was something Of deadlock

assume the correct position.

Miss Mary Egan, of Philadelphia,
who is spending the summer at Re-
hoboth, took an involuntary joy ride
Thursday, which came near ending dis
astrously. While waiting for friends
she stepped into an automobile in
which the engine was "idling" In
some way the engine went into high
gear and the frightened young lady
found herself whirling rapidly down
the street. Although she knew moth
ing of the operation of an automobile,
she managed to hang to the wheel and
guided it clear of trees and other We
hicles. Shouting for help, she guided
the machine around several squares
until someone managed to jump on
the running board and stop the ma
chine. Beyond the nervous shock
there was no damage done.
