More Fairgrounds Needed
To Keep Children Safe

To the Editor Of The Times:
Must lists" these days include
tax legislation and other measures
that President Roosevelt thinks
need immediate attention.
The next time the District Com
missioners send the District estl.
mates to Congress, they should
submit a "must" on Fairgrounds
for the children Of washington.
With thousands Of children out
of school on vacation during the
summertime, the need for addl'
tional Fairgrounds in the District
becomes more and more apparent
and acute.
School children with the entire
day with nothing to do but play
outdoors should have some place
to play. They should not be con-
stantly exposed to danger from
racing automobiles on the city
streets.
The need for additional play
space in washington has been
pointed out again and again, but
Congress has been slow about ap-
propriating the necessary funds.

Mr.. CAM might well have listed

hears a composer direct any of his
own compositions, there Is a feel

ment. One must not be misled
as to the speed Of the movement
by the appearance of thirty-second
notes in the theme. The tempo
is set at SO beats minute for the
eighth note, thus indicating four
slow beats in the measure.
In directing this movement, the
tendency is to allow the music
to speed up and get out Of hand:
to do so would spoil the effect OF
the piece. The movement is most
charming and graceful, yet 1t
