Park Has Many
Games Of Skill

One of the mot fascinating and
entertaining amusements at Glen
Echo Park is the skee ball alleys
that are located just to the left of
the soda fountain. This game is
similar to bowling and is a good
healthy form of sport to indulge
in. The player gets nine balls for
his "jitney" and he rolls them
down a course and up an incline
to the target" circular ar
rangement that has a graduated
scale of points ranging from the
outer edge of the circle to the
bulls eye" the pot where the
highest point can be made.
Right next to the Skee ball al
leys you will find another game
of skill, the shooting gallery.
Here there is provided every sort
of target imaginable for you to
shoot at in perfecting your use of
the rifle or just for the sheer fun
of seeing how many wild geese
you can drop into the water.
Crystal Pool and the sand beach
are proving a welcome solace to
thousands these summer days.
And as for securing a genuine
Suntan, there's no finer place
hereabouts than the Crystal Pool
beach. Big roomy chairs have
been provided for patrons and for
those wanting to feel the trickle
of sand through their toes and
yet have some shelter from the
rays of the sun, huge beach UNI
brellas are provided.
All of the many amusement de-
vices are running full tilt with
their inviting allurements and
thrills.
