Series of Sprays.
The older children find recreation,
especially in the hot weather, under

with cool water. In addition, there
are several chinning bars and other
acrobatic devices.
The boys, however, have organized
their own base ball teams, just to
diversity the sports, and many close

on the green diamond overlooking
Connecticut avenue.
While the boys are playing ball or
some other games in which the girls
are not interested, they gather In
small groups under canvas canopies
and play with dolls, miniature stores
and other toys that boys shun.
The apartment playground is un-
der constant supervision from 8 am.
to 8 pm, with the result that mothers
often leave their children there with
sense of security as they go on shop
ping expeditions or make social calls.
Jerry Collins Most Popular.
The supervised play activities, how
ever. do not cease when Summer ends.
Tine apartment contains large play
room, where the children continue
their activities through the long Win
ter days, but on somewhat restrict
ed basis.
The 213 children have agreed that
Jerry Collins is the most popular boy
| in the group. Jerry, who is IL, was
| crippled in an automobile accident y
years ago, and since he Is unable to
run around and join in the games
with the other children, he founded a
story telling club, and amuses the
Youngsters with tales of base ball and
foot ball heroes.
Nearly every day Jerry finds new
story to tell the youngsters, and while
he is not amusing them, he lies on
a cot on the green lawn and watches
them at play.
Mrs. Doyle is convinced that the
apartment house playground idea has
not only been of decided benefit to
the Davenport Terrace, but also to
the children who live there. She
said she could not understand why

IN COED MURDER
Taylor Denies New Charge
of Attempted Attack
on Another.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
BIRMINGHAM, Ala, August 25.-
Harold Taylor continued his protest
Of innocence in the mystery Staying Of
pretty Faye New, Howard College
coed, and at the same time denied
charges that he had attempted to
ravish Mrs. Clara Cost a few hours
before he took Faye for an automobile
ride.
Mrs. Cost made her charges in a
warrant yesterday shortly after a
special grand jury session had been
ordered to inquire into the 5laying OF
Miss New.
The body of the 19-year-old girl,
who so far as people know, hadn't an
enemy in the world, was found in a
cornfield Tuesday after widespread
search. Every day since then new
questions have arisen to confront in
vestigators who seek her killer.
Police have arrested Harold Taylor
and accused him of killing the girl.
But Taylor says she left his car Mon
day night on a lonely road after
disagreement and started walking
away-on the walk which led to her
death He says he is not guilty Of
her death and that he has nothing to
confess.
A special grand jury has been called
to meet Monday to look into the girls
death and detectives were busy today
putting on the finishing touches of
the case they will present. Search is
continuing for the knife the killer
used in cutting two gashes in the
co-ed's throat-the gashes that caused
her death after battle in the corn
field.
AS police reca2;uulated the case TO-
day after nearly a weeks jnvestiga-
ton, one of the angles most puzzling
to them was the motive for the slay-
ing. Information given to officers vas
that Faye was "bettar than average"
student at Howard College, a Birm-
ingham institution, but she took little
part in social activities. She was
known mainly for her liking for girls
athletics.
The coroner has saio that Faye was
not attacked-that she died fighting
A new mystery was added by the
discovery that Miss New appar-
emily walked across the Irordale-
Trussville highway before she started
across the cornfield along the path
which led to her death.
Did Not Run.
Why, puzzled investigators ask, did
the girl walk into a cornfield and rot
turn down the highway, If she were
being pursued, or If she was afraid?
And, to add to the mystery, the girls
tracks near the highway do not indi-
cate that she was running, or walking
in any but a normal manner.
Mrs. Csot charged Taylor picked
her up on the streets Monday after
noon, drove her out the lonely Green
Springs road, and attempted an attack.
She jumped from his automobile, she
said, and made her way back home,
six hours before Taylor met Miss New
and asked her to accompany him.

apartment house life at that time, the
playground has since increased in
popularity, and so have the apart

houses have adopted the plan.

The children have their own out

a playroom in the Winter. There are
no provisions in the lease forbidding
them from playing or crying whenever
they feel SO disposed. There is no
curfew on their childish activities.
The Davenport Terrace was really
converted into an apartment for chill
dren about four years ago. Only a
few children lived there then. Now ii
takes about Is minutes to call the
roll.
A large green terrace in front OF
the apartment buildings, originally
intended as a recreation lawn for the
adult tenants, but seldom used by
them, gave the management the idea
for turning it into children's apart
ment.

this spacious lawn, maybe the chill
