The mothers can learn through
these clinics, which are directed by

SUPERVISED PUBLIC PLAY
GROUND OPENS JUNE 10. /

On account Of the Chautauqua from
18th to 18th and the inclement wealth
or, it has been decided that the pro-
per time TO begin the supervised play
ground, is the 10th of June. From
now until that date we will be clean
ing the park and getting it ready for
the children. However WA do not
receive any pay for this work. Our
pay will only cover the actual two
months of supervised play. If any
of the larger boys have some spare
time and wish to help clean the park,
their work will be appreciated.
We have not been able to raise the
amount of money we had expected,
but we are going to conduct super
vised play ground for two months
as we had planned. Many WHO have
not subscribed, will, we trust, make
their contribution when they see it
is success.
We want the people to know that
all children of Belington are welcome
and urged to take advantage of the
play ground, whether they have con-
tributed to the fund or not. One of
the object of this movement is to re-
lieve the mothers of work, and we
request that the mothers dress the
children in clothes suitable for play.
and not in their ''dress-up" clothes.
Yours for healthier and happier
children in Belin ton.

~Jokes about the slowness Of trains.
especially here in the South" says an
Atlanta railway man, always tire me
bit by their ancientness; but heard
new and good one not long ago.
ut seems that trains are always
slow and far between on branch
line in Mississippi. Nobody knows
this better than the people at the
junction, except the people on the line
itself. One day the newsdealer came
to me grinning.
GA fellow from the other end Of
the line just said funny thing he
remarked. He had missed his train
and there wasn't another for two
hours. He came to my stall to buy
some reading matter to while away
the time. He asked for jokebook,
and didn't have any. Then he poked
around for while and said:
"'Well. guess I'll take time table

More Than IS Resolutions
Are Waiting to be Acted
Upon by the Body

FL Paso, Tex, Nov. 2O.-(By the A.
P0--A partial report from the COM
mittees on resolutions, embodying
recommendations on several minor
issues was ready for hte fourth hus-
mess session of the American FEEDER
alton Of Labor convention today.
For the most part the convention
marked time on its agenda yesterday,
awaiting committee action.
More than IS resolutions were in
troduced during the first three days
of the convention but it was not ex-
pected recommendations on any ma
jor questions would be ready for to-
days assembly. Those touching such
problems as political policy, Ameri-
can foreign relations, women in in
dustry and education, together with
several involving differences between
important groups within the ranks Of
organized labor, probably will re-
quire several days for committee
hearings.

CLAIM BANDIT
CHIEF KILLED
ACC0MPLICE.
Deliberately Killed Him in
Order to Gel Bigger
Share Of the Loot

Chicago, Nov. 2o.--A startling
move was made today by the de-
fense in the trial Of William Fahay,
former postoffce inspector, ard two
others, charged with conspiracy in
connection with the $2,O0O,O0O mail
train robbery at Roundout, Illinois,
June IL last, in offering to prove
that Brent Glasscock, leader Of the
actual robbers, deliberately shot
Willie Newton, one Of the bandits,
and planned to kill Hubert Holli-
day, another.
Defense attorneys, after Federal
Judge Cliffe had excluded the jury
from the courtroom, moved to be
permitted to produce evidence that
Glasscock planned to do away with
both Willie Newton and Holiday to
provide larger distributive shares Of
the loot to himself and others.
Judge Cliffe denied the request.
