SPEND FREELY IN
 CARE OF CHILDREN
Cities Spent More Than Si4,0OO-
 900 During the Past Year

New York, April 15.-More than s14,000,0 ,000 was spent for public re- creation last year by cities in the United States and Canada, according to the Playground and Recreation As- sociation of America, which has just compiled the returns from a question: naire on community play. This sum is more than twice the amount spentfor the same purpose ten years ago.
 In 3 total of 6S0 cities reporting community recreation leadership. 66o conduct 6,591 playgrounds and re- creation centers under paid leaders. In 1906, when Theodore Reosevlt and others organized the association, only II cities had 'playgrounds and recrea- tion centers with paid leaders.
 Approximately 100000 was the re- ported daily average of children and adults at the summer playgrounds of the country in 1923. This figure is four times greater than che 1918 at tendance.
 The reason for the steadily increas-
 ing expenditure for recreation at a time when municipalities are bent on economy, the association states, is that playgrounds andrecreation are recognized as good investment. De-
 inquency and crime cost are reduced. Chief of Police Conlon of Leomin- ster. Mass. says delinquency cases in Leominster averaged e1 a year prior to the organization of Community Ser vice. the local recreation agency. Since 1t coming. the number decreased to 53 in 1923.
 In Utica. New York, Anna D. Ray land. chief probation officer, attribut- cd to the efficiency of playgrounds the fact that nos a single child was put on probation during the month of July in the children's court. Judge C. Penny of Miami. Florida, gave credit to the supervised play program for the fact that while previously he had had 20 or 25 cases of delinquency in his court in a. month, in the six months after the plsygrounds opened. he had only five cases. Topeka. Kansas, found that truancy decreased when playgrounds were installed near the schools. De- flance, Ohio. rentralia, Illinois and other cities reported the practical elimination of mischief and property destruction by boys at Halloween, due to the organized community celebra- tions of the city recreation commit tees. Many other cities reported de- creases in delinquency, attributed by judges. probation officers and others

Running Bird Dies of
 Grief Over Loss of Mate

Oakland Cal, April l5.--Otto Emerson. Hayward, Cal. naturalist, who found two humming birds few days old and raised them until full grown, reports that one of them died of grief because 1t accidentally caused the death of the other.
 Emerson said the birds were insep- srsble. For hours they would play to- eether, and at night they would roost close to each other. One day in their aerial swinging. one knocked the other with force against the wall. The injured bird retired to dark corner and paid no attention to the solicitous chirpings of it's mate The next morn- ing 1t was dead. The bereaved bird seemed dazed all that day. His feath- CTS dropped, his head hung, He neither flew nor ate. The next morning he too was dead. ,..
 Such instances of birds affection are not unusual, according 10 Emerson.

Too Much Legislation Is
 Harmful to British Law

London, April 15.--Sir Donald Maclean. a leading Liberal, complains that during the past few years there has been too much legislation in Britain. This. he says has tended to bring the law into contempt, because one half is not administered and the other half not obeyed.
 Speaking at the London Commer- cisl club, Sir Donald urged business men to take keener interest in poll tics. He defended the present Labor government as good thing" and was of the opinion that with the pres ent three party system there seemed to be a prospect of real tranquility and legislation of an agreed type.
