Macomber Playground

The Girls Health Club at the Ma
comber Playground is constantly en-
larging the scope OF its work and
recently has undertaken the work
of accommodating a library for the
use of its members. At their room
at the playground a number OF vol
umes are already in use. the mem
bers being allowed to take out books
after school. They may be taken
home, but many of the girls read
them at the playground. The Misses
Marion McAllister. Madeline Hanson
and Shirley McAllister are in charge
of the books. Director Jack Hyde
has always had some books there
which have been contributed by
friends of the playground children
but the girls have taken these over
and now have quite an imposing IL
brary. Children'S books which may
be donated by friends will be most
acceptable.
At the regular meeting Of the H.
c. H. c. which was held Tuesday
afternoon at o'clock. Mrs. ]. B.
Hyde. their leader. gave them a very
Interesting lecture on the proper
methods of applying bandages and
by the end of the lesson nearly ev-
cry girl had learned how to bandage
in several different ways. Instruc-
ton in First Aid is given each week
at the regular meeting of the club.
The Boy Rangers ? NV numbering
II are showing mutl interest in
their work and attend the weekly
meetings with regularity. Nearly
every one of the boys now has a uni
form and it is expected that every
one will have one within short
time.

PLAN twelve TEAM LEAGUE ON
NEWY, N, C, A, BOWLING ALLEYS
Expect Record Season at
Popular Local Institution
Three Leagues Apply for
Reservations

With the opening on Tuesday Of
the enlarged and improved Y. M. c. A.
bowling alleys. what will without
doubt be the greatest bowling season
in the history Of the local organiza-
ton was ushered in. With bowling
facilities doubled and rearranged so
that they are much more convenient
than formerly this feature of the Y,
NJ. C. A. activities will without doubt
attract a bigger following than ever
before.
Already several leagues have ap-
piled for certain days upon which
they may have the alleys reserved
for league matches and the program
is fast filling up. At meeting OF the
bowling committee Monday evening
at the Y. NJ. c. A. applications were
received for the regular City League,
the Girls League and the State
House League. In addition the Can
nett League Is expected to bowl as
they have in the past and there Will
probably be others.
The City League has consisted Of
six, teams for the past several years
but plans are being talked over for a
twelve team league to be run along
novel lines. If carried out there will
be two divisions of the league, one or
clubs such as the Y. NJ. c. A. and the
American Legion, and the other or
industrials such as have been entered
in the past. After completing an in
ter-divisional schedule. the two win
ming teams would then bowl series
for the league championship.
The Girls League last year con-
sisted of 10 teams but it is expected
that there will be twelve this year.
The girls will have the alleys on
Tuesday evenings as in the past and
some other time will also probably
be assigned to them. The State
House League will bowl on Saturday
afternoons and evenings.
It is the desire of the committee to
accommodate as many leagues as
possible, as it has been found neces-
sary in the past to refuse the alleys
to prospective leagues. At the same
time they want to give the individ-
uals who want to bowl but who do
not want to tie themselves to league
schedule, every possible chance to In
dulge in this healthful pastime.
Although tho official opening of the
alleys will not be held for about two
weeks. they were actually put in use
Tuesday. w. E. S. Berry of the State
House rolled the first ball at o'clock
and shortly afterward, with the ad-
vent of the girls who use the build
! ing on Tuesdays, the alleys were
kept busy for the remainder of the
evening.
At a meeting Of the bowling COM
mittee Monday evening the following
committee was appointed to look into
| the matter of properly defeating the
| alleys: Max Wilder. chairman; V. V.
Detwiler, P. r. Keller. Mrs. Ruth
| Croker, Miss Francena Overlook
and Mrs. Dan Nash. They will meet
tonight to make plans for the formal
opening.
The bowling committee consists Of
| Harry Jones, chairman: Max Wilder.
! P. r. Keller, V. V. Detwiler, Kip Will
| son, Arthur Merrill, Bonnie o. Mars
ton Miss Francena Overlook, Mrs.
Ruth Croker.

Unceastng Vigilance Necessary
There are prominent politicians out
for high Office on the strength of their
wet Affiliations. and this is easy to
meet But some of the tactics and
maneuvers of the vets in regard to
the refernda which are proposed or
about to be proposed need close scru-
tiny and unceasing vigilance.
For instance in New York, where
Elihu Root. who works for the brew
ers, writes the wording of the referen-
dunn the people will be asked to get
excited over an utterly unintelligible
question, while the vets vote their
candidates into Office The same thing
will happen In Illinois. and probably
in Wisconsin. In short the Elihu Root
Brewer camoufage is clever feint to
attract the attention of the dry de-
Tense to one point, while the main wet
attack is made at an unguarded point.
Another new wet >maneuver Is clever
in that wherever they institute a
light wine and beer movement they
interject the phrase Liquors intoxi-
eating in fact" This catches the eve
of the uniformed, but if that phrase
should be written into the laws every
judge and every jury would have to
decide in each case whether or not the
liquors involved are intoxicating, a
situation utterly impossible and indie
feasible and one that would give rise
to babel of confusion.
This makes the coming election one
of great Importance. andf dry leaders
everywhere are urging their friends
and followers to inform themselves of
the local and state situations and to
be fully prepared to meet the intricate
attacks Of the vets. -
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union is confronted with an astonish-
ing situation. Were it not so binding
to the casual thinker on such things.
1t would be ludicrous. We who for
years have withstood the slurs and
insults OF the liquor interests, today
md these same interests attacking
US and other prohibition workers az
nrming we have demcralized the youth
OF the land. Wet politicians are ap-
pealing for protection for "our boys
ana girls from the ruinous evils of

ponents lament for our young people.
But friends, we know young people.
We know these who now lament. cast
