OPEN PLAY GROUND SUNDAYS

Perhaps it's rather late in the sea-
son to advocate the measure this
year, but the "Hired Man" has been
asked to suggest how good and how
pleasant thing it would be to open
our beautiful playground on Sunday
Anstead of keeping it locked and bar
red like a jail.
Surely there is no sin or impro-
priety in permitting the children to
enjoy healthful and innocent amuse-
ments on the Lords Day, and those
who are fortunate enough to have
parents able to provide suitable
place do so without restraint and are
greatly benefited thereby. But
there are hundreds and hundreds of
Newark children who are not among
these fortunate ones. They are COM
PEELED to seek places elsewhere, often
slong the creek banks, down among
the railroad tracks and God knows
where else, where they are exposed

How much better it would be were
they permitted to use the play
ground, a place equipped for the

What Uraeus Circlet
Meant in Old Egypt

Statues removed recently from the
tomb Of Tut-Ankh-Amen all show the
ancient uraeus circlet, the snake
headed band that adorned the brows Of
the royalties Of Egypt. Its history
reaches back into the dim past Of that
great people when the god-kings were
supposed to have ruled over the land.
Both the zebra and the vulture were
sacred head-dresses Of the rulers Of
ancient Egypt. but the cobra is more
commonly known. It usually was
worked In gold and worn either on the
bare forehead or over the crown
The uraeus also was the basilisk Of
the Greeks, tabled lizard-like animal
Of the desert whose breath and bite
were fatal. II was supposed to repre-
sent the goodness and divinity Of the
Egyptian Pharaoh and was the symbol
