Representatives of the District
Congress of Mothers and Parent

the District Commissioners to
campaign in Congress for a play
ground for every public school in

'The Commissioners will go the
limit in doing what they can to get
more Fairgrounds" the Commits
sioner promised.
1--WE want more Fairgrounds in
Washington. Today we would like
to have open every one Of the sew
enty-two school Fairgrounds. Our
limited appropriation. however, pre-
vents us from opening all. We are
operating thirty school play
grounds"
Commissioner Oyster told the com
mittee that until Congress increases
the playground appropriation. they
could help by raising money and
getting volunteers, the money to be
used to operate the forty-two play
grounds which are not now in oper
alton.

teer workers and we will oper
every school playground in Wash

against the law.
IT have studied the law on that
subject and am convinced that Il
is lawful to make public the recon-
mendations Of the School Board.

"The law only provides that the
estimates of the District Commits

mitted to Congress"

THE PERFECT GIRL.

(Page Christopher Columbus.)
Her hair Is black and silken,
Her eyes are deep and blue:
Her skin white as the lily,
Her checks of crimson hue.
Her smile (gee, it's q wOnder),
The tempting, rOguish kind,
That makes your heart stop beat
such girls are hard to find.
Her manner, It Is perfect;
She Is loyal and true blue.
Old-fashiOned? Kid, you said It.,
And yet she's modern, too.
F1lrt? Knows not the meaning.
For she smiles for only me.
Stubborn? No. far from It,
For we two always agree.
Wealthy Not so very,
But she Ii q thrifty girl.
Indeed, she is q Jewel,
That's why they named her Pearl.
I've finished my description,
Did you ask me where we met?
Well, here's the thrilling answer:
She IL not discovered yet.

BARKENTTNE JAMES TUFT
IN DISTRESS IN STRAIT

The following news item, taken
from the Sunday Seattle Times is
of interest to island readers, mas.
much as three members of the
crew Of the coast guard cutter,
Haida, are residents thereof. They
are: Roscoe Wilbur, Eugene Van
Olinda and Burton Campbell, all OF
whom have excellent ratings in
the service. The story follows:
After being rescued at sea by
tie United States coast guard cut
ter Haida and the tug Sea Mon
arch, the waterlogged barkentlna
James Tuft last night was in the
Strait of Juan de Fuca in tow of
the Sea Monarch, bound for Win
slow, where her deck-load of lum-
Der will be discharged and she will
repair. The master of thy barken-
tine and two men are still aboard
the vessel, while the other mem
bers of the crew who were taken
Of; the disabled craft, are bound
for Port Angeles aboard the Hal
.da.
"The James Tuft was disabled
in heavy weather while bound
from Kildonan, B. c., to Callao,
Peru, with a full cargo Of lumber.
She was forced to anchor in a
dangerous position between Des-
truction island and the Washing
ton mainland, where she WIS taken
in tow after MUCK difficulty by the
Haida. The crew of the barken-
tine was found living in a tent on
the deekload Of lumber. While
the vessels were off Umatilla light
ship at 400 O'Clock yesterday
morning the tow line parted and
the Tuft went adrift. The bark
entine flashed an IS. o. S." call
by means of blinker light and
asked that all on board be taken
off. A lifeboat from the Haida
reached a position beneath the
outer end of the Tufts jibboom
and one by one, with the exception
of the master and two men, the
crew Of the barkentine crawled
out to the end of the jibboom and
dropped into the Haida's lifeboat.
The Sea Monarch then reached the
barkentine and took her in tow.
The Haida conveyed the Sea Mon
arch and the Tuft until the vessels
were in the strait, when she pro
ceeded for Port Angeles with the
men she had taken off the barken-
tine"
