LONDON, July 3.—Queen Mary recently took a “day off” from state and formal public affairs and lived again for a_day amid the scenes of her girlhood at Cambridge Cottage, Kew With one intimate companion she started early and visited the old home place, walking around the gar- dens and closely inspecting the flower beds. in many of which were flowers and shrubs planted by her- self vears ago. The Queen was par- tieularly interested in a border of blue flowering plants. It was from tiis border that she as a girl de- veloped her taste for blue and pastel shades.

C. |Officials Turn Attention to Task of Providing Wad- ing Pools and Other Attraction: Give Children Square BY WILLIAM J. WHEATLEY. Major sports in the public parks of the District now being well provided for out of funds of previous years, officials of the Office of Public Build- ings and Public Parks are beginning | to turn their attention to providing | for young America, or that part of it under the age of 9 years. While some playground equipment has been pro- | vided in the parks, nevertheless the | officlals fully realize that very little | attention has been paid to providing | recreation for the voungsters, and | they have hesitated so far because of the fear of stepping on the toes of the | District playground department. |~ Hundreds of thousands of dollars | have been spent in the parks in the | provision of golf courses, courts, foot ball gridirons, base ball | diamonds, hurdling_ fields, bridle path {but an infinitesimal sum only has | been spent for the young folks, thou- sands of whom invade the parks dally with their parents and find, in most instances, only the grass plots o play on. ‘As a matter of fact, with the bath- ing beach situation in its present status, with the prospect that it will be a vear or more before these will be | provided, attention now is being given | to finding park maintenance funds, several small “wading_pools in_the par] These can be bullt for about $500 or | $600 apiece, whereas golf courses | run up into the tens of thousands of | dolizrs for construction. | Now Has One Pool. | The public parks office now has unTiiflr it jurisdiction one wading pool in Garfield Park, but this has been dried up because of complaints from Cliizens of the noise the children made, re seem to be "o the noises made bywthose ‘pating in the so.called major Sports. It was pointed out to the | park officials that such pools will Yerve to n large extent during the weather to keep B angers of trafic. and cut down the heavy toll of Killed and maime: “hildren, who have no place to &is vent to their energies. { I i cials concede the L'i_r'k e m more worried | equipment, but seel ::‘l"\flu‘t t‘]l(‘ complaint; and it has hflon. e dested to them that they doas they have done in allowing children to | hathe Gn the pools surroundins ‘he e tains—file the complaints to col- | lect dust in the musty files, but keep- | ing the children alive by attracting them from the streets. 3 At the present time there are only four r grounds in the public parks, hree in Rock ( eek Park, one of | %¥hieh is for colored children. and one East Potomac Park, at Hains Doint. Less than 1 per cent of this vast area is given over to the chil- Sren, hundreds of whom flock down there with their parents during the hot weather. These playgrounds each have a slide board, a few swings and Seesaws, the total cost of which does not_exceed $500.

The park service last vear spent $21.000 on major sports alone, includ- ing golf, base ball and foot ball flelds and tennis courts, as well as the con- struction of the field house and cer- tain improvements in the newly de- veloped recreation center in Section D. just east of Eleventh street, in Anncostia Park. The park officials conceded that the public. parks are for the use of the whole people. including the voung chil- dren, and will turn their attention now to providing for their play, they say, the first step of which undoubt- edly will be the provision of the bath: inz pools. which can be constructed at_a nominal figure compared to the cost of other projects. The public buildings and public parks office has for expenditure this vear $676.790, which includes $342,130 for ordinary improvement and care, heat and light. Out of this fund it is hoped td be able to find funds for the wading pools to fill the great de- mand for safe splashing places for the children. These pools, it was pointed out, can be made safe, being filled with city water and, containing only a comparatively small quantity, can be easily refreshed or chlorinated for sanitary purposes. Children Ignored Order. The recent order to bar children from the park fountain pools, it was sald, was made in answer to com- plaints from citizens by the children’s noises and some nude bathing. The Columbus Fountain in front of the Union Station is one of the most pop- ular bathing pools for children, and last week a large sign was erected announcing that bathing of children was barred. But it was found that the children either couldn’t read or didn’t believe in signs, particularly those barring traffic in the pool. The police reported that as soon as their backs were-turned the children were in, and it would be necessary to keep a policeman on the scene if the order was to be enforced; so a sergeant of park police was sent mo- torcyeling to the Union Station Plaza to remove the sign. Officials of the office say they are not opposed to the children bathing, but it was only an answfr to the public complaints, v now have decided to read tennis | way for providing, out of | no complaints on | the children from | in Parks to Deal. they come in and mark ents noted.

MEXICO COMPLETES | Holders of Bonds Soon to Be Able to Get Cash, for the First Time in Two Years. | | | Special Dispatch to The Star. NEW YORK, July 3.—Mexico has completed shipment of funds to New York for the payment of interest on her foreign obligations. Holders of dollar Mexican bonds within the next few days will be told how to present their warrants for payment. Shortly thereafter bondholders, for the first time in two years, will be able to get cash. The ~payment approximates $11,250,000. “The international committee of bankers on Mexico,” the statement given out by J. P. Morgan & Co. late today said, “announces that the bal- ance of the funds for payment by the committee of the amount necessary for the services on the direct govern- ment debt, as provided in the existing agreement with the Mexican govern- ment, has been received. Immediate notice is being given to holders of the bonds of the direct debt as to the method of presenting their cash war- rants for payment.” Mexico has been transmitting money in monthly installments to J. P. Morgan & Co. since January 1 last. The receipts have been pooled until, with the June payment, they amount to sufficient funds to meet the regular semi-annual interest re- quirements. This plan was followed Dbecause Mexican revenue are received in an uneven flow. The total amount in arrears approx- imates $37,500,000, which will be paid over an eight-year period beginning in 1928, in accordance with the terms of an agreement entered into last October between Alberto J.

By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, July 3.—Culture has gripped the hobo. In the first business session of the Eastern Con- ference of the International Hoboes’ Association, held here today, time and pains were given to planning for a musical for the visiting hoboes to- morrow night. It was decided to have the musical—an annual con- cert—at Franklin Square, if the city would lend the park to the conven- tion. Creature comforts appeared to be bothersome factors in today's session, inasmuch as places to sleep, eat and meet were elusive, but these funda- mentals were settled satisfactorily, and the Eastern Conference, migra- tory, casual and unemployed — branch of the International Hoboes’ Assoclation—got down to the busi- ness of organizing a strong local relief and aid for transient laborers. Conspicuous in the proceedings thus far has been the tall ficure of James Eads How, “millionaire hobe Beauty of Mother Bestowed On Daugltter For more than iwo generations mothers everywhere have beenusing Cuticura Preparations and have been teaching their daughters that| daily use of them produces clear skin and healthy hair.
