UrQe CLUB Women to
Aid World War Boys

The state chairman of the divis-
ion of cooperation with ex-service
men, c. F. w. c., states that the
division claims no. particular work,
but is for the distinct purpose of
continuing the friendly relations
with the returned soldiers. She says
that the committees of clubs should
work with the American Legion and
War Mothers by referring all eases
which come un,:er their notice to
the organizations.
AS two objectives for the year,
Mrs. Mclean suggests that the club
cooperation committees first aim
to know where every man on their
service flag is and whether they can
serve him in any way; second that
there is no lonely man in any hospi-
tai for want of connection with
the people of his home town.

.SMALLEY PARK ID
 BE NEW PLAYGROUND
Park Commission Completing
 Recreation Center There

Workmen are busy putting the fin- ishing touches to Smalley park this week, according to Superintendent of Parks Ralph Wainwright, and when 1t is finished long felt want in this vicinity will be realized. A six foot anchor post chain screen friend is be- ing placed all around the playground section, which comprises about two- thirds of the plot. The park has been graded and leveled, cut of 30
 inches on the west side and a fill of 30 inches on the east side making practically level playground.
 The old walks running diagonally through the park have been removed and two walks have been laid straight across each end. One runs directly from Stanley street to the end of North street, while another runs across in an easterly- y-westerly direc- tion on the north end of the plot.
 Shrubbery of the most advisable type will be played on the grounds, stone seats will be arranged, one each end and the general plot laid out to the best advantage. A concrete side walk has been laid all around the boulder which marks the site of the first church built in New Britain 165 years ago. --@
 The playground commission is ex- pected to equip the place with swings sand boxes and other playground ap- paratus as soon as the park commits sion gets through it's work.

SAVAGE MAN EATER CAPTURED IN SAMOA
Escaped Prisoner Gets Drop on Terror of Tutuilian Natives

Pago Pago, American Samoa, July so.-The capture of the last of four wild man-eating savages who es- caped from the Island of New He- brides in 1890 and landed on the Is- land of Tutuila on raft, ends the thirty-year dread of the island na- lives here for the man-eaters. The wild man was captured by an escaped prisoner who, being filled with re- morse for his criminal record and being ashamed again to face his fel- low man, said he took to the hills of Pago Pago where he had planned tt commit suicide.
 While the escaped prisoner was making preparations to carry out his suicidal intent, he was confronted by the black savage. The convict "got the drop" on the wild man, bound him, and held him prisoner over night. The next day the prisoner brought his savage captive to the Tutuila naval station here, where the two took their stand in the dramatic fash. ion under the stars and stripes Sam oans gathered, but, apparently, feared to attack the savage they had hunt cd for many years
 Robert Louis Stevenson, in one of his books, told of the escape of four black recruited laborers from Ger man plantation in New Hebrides. The men, Stevenson wrote, fled owing to their ill treatment, and escaped to Tutila on raft. One was killed.
 The three remaining black haunted the bush not far from Pago Pago, to- wards the eastern end of Tutila, and were occasionally seen by hunters. In the year 1900 one was caught by a young Samoan chief, and the cap- tured savage said that one of the other two had died, leaving only one at large. This is the man who has just been brought in.
