More than $1,000 was subscribed last week by the citizens of the District to the fund being raised by Comniissioner Oyster to open the public school playgrounds for the balance of the summer. With this amount pledged Mrs. Rhodes, 'supervisor of playgrounds, has opend the gates of eight school yards, five for white children and three for colored. Commissioner Oyster, while grate- ful to those who have contributed, is not satisfled with the amount donated during the first week, in view of the desire for more playgrounds being voiced by citizens of all sections. The Commissioner believes the people of Washington are sincere in their appeal for playgrounds, and he is hopeful that during the ensuing “Marihuana Is Menace As Insidious as Opium Along Mexican Border A new danger has appeared on the Mexican border.

The total number of homes damaged or destroved. in- cluding properties owned and rented. is placed at 2,318. —_— U. S. POLICY UNCHANGED. Mexico Working Hard for Recog- nition, Is Belief Here. The determination of at least a part of the Mexican congress to institute a new endeavor to render acceptable to foreign interests article 27 of the con- stitution was regarded here today as indicative of a desire in Mexico to find some basis on which diplomatic relations with the United States might be restored. State Department officlals refused to comment, but it was made plain that the policy of the United States government had not been changed. The proposed legislative declaration that article 27 shall not be construed as retroactive was of peculfar interest here since it was upon that point the United States chiefly insisted in its suggestion that & treaty of amity and commerce be signed. President Obre- gon held that he had no right to sign such a treaty prior to the recognition jof his government. ! officials would throw no light on the report from Mexico City that Charge Summerlin had presented a new communication from this gov- ernment to the Mexican foreign of- fice. The impression was given that there had been an interchange of per- sonal letters between Presidents Hard- ing and Obregon and of the character ‘of these, officials, as a matter of course, declined to talk. It was as- serted authoritatively, however, that the assumption of the Mexico City press that there had been no change office, published here, must be out of touch with recent Anglo- Irish developments and referring to him as “a pseudo-diplomat of a non-existing republic” was “amusing.” MORE ESCORTS ORDERED FOR BURIAL OF SOLDIERS BROUGHT FROM OVERSEAS Following complaints of the failure to provide proper escort to the places of burial of soldier dead brought from overseas, the Secretary of War has directed a more liberal policy in that respect, “even at the expense of train- ing and other activities.” The complaints, it is stated. “are hurting the standing, prestige and honor of the Arm: manders are directed possible means to furnish suitable escort at distributing points and firing squads at funerals of deceased soldiers returned from abroad when the relatives of the deceased request it and it can be done without expense to the government other than that involved in the use of post transpor- tation.” In populous centers, where requests are apt to be numerous and when there is a shortage of military per- sonnel, it is stated that arrangements probably can be made to have at least one soldier accompany the body | from the house to the grave and to provide a firing squad and bugler to render the last military honors at each of the cemeteries where inter- ments are made. i It is anticipated that all bodies will | be returned from urope by October 1 and their distribution to various cemetexies completed by the end of ithat month. STORM DOES DAMAGE. iTwo Men Probably Fatally Injured ! S in Cleveland. CLEVELAND. Ohio, August 6.—Two {men were probably fatally injured and thousands of dollars’ damage was caused by a severe electrical storm which struck Cleveland and vicinity late today, accompanied by a forty- three-mile-an-hour wind. A rainfall of sixty-eight one-hundredths of an inch was recorded here in twenty-eight iminutes. Streets and cellars were flooded, telegraph and telephone wires blown down and many trees uprooted.

ESCANABA, Mich., August 6.—Busi- ness was suspended here today and every citizen called upon to combat forest fires that had crept almost to the outskirts of the city. Officials believed the town would be seriously menaced unless the fires were checked. As a result of continued dry weather scattered fires had been running through the slashings for several wecks and were kept under control with difficulty. Today, however, a high wind drove the flames nearer Escanaba, and hundreds of men and boys answered Mayor Joseph Pryal’s call for fire fighters. Damage amounting to thousands of dollars has been caused in surrounding timber and farming districts. TENANTS ORGANIZE. rol;m League in New Orleans to Protect Rights.

Nelson, discharged from the Army at Fort Bliss, Tex., yesterday met death here, when he fell underneath a | moving passenger train. -He was on Alfred Krakse of West Park, Ohio, dis- charged at the same time, was with him when“the accident happened. Nelson has a brother, according to a letter found in his pocket, who lives at 594 Berry street, Toledo, Ohio. GRAIN ELEVATOR PLANNED. \ his way to his home in Toledo, Ohio. everybody is busy watching the other vantage, instead of attending to their own share toward restoring normal condi- ticns. This tendency manifests it- self especially in high tariffs. I)cm‘!I misunderstand me. 1 am heartily in! favor of anti-dumping measures. I| also favor protection where it is real- ly protection against unfair or purely destructive competition, and not pro- tection of inefficiency. But antl- dumping and genuine protection will account for very few of the high tariff walls constructed since the war. They are the product of fright. The) producer or manutacturer, instead of setting to work to improve his effi- ciency and beat his foreign competi- tor on merits, confesses in advance he is beaten. He goes to his parliament and cries, “I can't compete. Tne for- eigner can produce better and cheaper goods than 1. You must protect me." The purpose is %o drive the for- eigner from the market. Of course, if the foreigner also s overcome by frieht he retaliates. Mathematically, it is obvious that if both succeed in their purpose. international trade is| arrested. Thus at a time when the world' is clamoring for trade resump- tion, political energies are bent upon its destruction. But such efforts do not always cceed. You have a nation like Germany which has prac- tically no raw materials and there- fore can_only subsist by importing raw stuffs, giving manufactures in exchange. If the tariff wall against German goods is successful, Ger- many will die. But Germany refuses to die and with almost uncanny in- ventiveness, born of stern necessity, resolves to climb that wall by in- creasing efficiency beyond what here- tofore was believeq possible. German Goods Most Feared. Thus in Germany's case, and Ger- man goods are the ones most feared by competitors, the net result of a tariff barrier is to increase Germany's {efficiency. At the same time, efficiency is lowered in protected countries and Pprices are raised. In short the for- eigner is the only one who gets any advantages. Add to this the fact that the Germans, .under the treaty of Ver- sailles, are compelled to disagm. This means that all of Germany's man-power is in the workshop pro- ducing, not in the barracks consum- ing. On account of abolition of mil- ltary service Germany has today a larger industrial man-power than before the war, and is able to utilize the great machinery built for war $5 a Month Buys this Upright Piano ’ Chickering . Upright Piano 4 (Used) BALTIMORE, Md., August 6.—The ‘Western Maryland railway will build a new grain elevator here at a cost esti- mated at more than $1,000,000. It will almost exactly duplicate the present ele- vator, which cost about $1,000,000 in 1916, and will double the road’s grain- handling capacity at this port. The two elevators will have a combined capacity of 3,000,000 bushels of grain.
