The playground movement is one of the most extensive and sensible and sest organized for the promotion of its purpose of any movement in mod- ern_times. The Playground and Recreation as- sociation of America,not only secures park areas and school grounds and itilises them as recreation places, but t furnishes entertainment and sports 15 well. The official records show that 12 have recreation work orzanized for he full year. One year ago 336 cities were pro- viding playgrounds and 195 other cities were conducting playground cam- paigns. The number of cities now naintaining playgrounds will not be known until November 1, 1911, when a complete census is hoped for. Re- ports have been received from 184 cit- les indicating that these cities alone naintain 1,244 playgrounds, employ 1,345 men and women exclusive of caretakers, Nearly 220 playgrounds were reported to be open throughout the year. The number of cities re- porting special playsround activities were: Dramatics 26, folk dancing 94, gardening 43, industrial work 76, li- brarfes 52, self-government 40, sing- ing 72, story telling 114, and swimming 69, Thig Is not only a better develop- ient and more useful boy campaign, but the product is sure to be better itigens. It is a pleasure to think Norwich is inspired to move along the same lines. Week ending June 3 SHODDY INCREASING. When shoddy is increasing, it is fair te presnme that honesty is not, for shoddy is always a false pretence, whether it applies to wool mixtures or snobby manifestations. Among the interesting statistics put out by the census department at Wash- ington are those disclosing the shoddy mill business, They show the manu- faeturers wers using 44 per cent. less wool than they did 10 years ago. And 69 per cent. more cotton, And more waste. And chemicals. But that the total value of the shoddy mills' prod- t increased 10 per cent. Which means that the wearer of shoddy clothes pays more and gets less than did ten years ago. The Wall Street Jut statistics of fAfty nal, inspired by vears ago, says: “The consumption of woolen blankets in this country was twice as great per capita a® it is now and all but the weli-to-do must shiver under the germ-nourish- ing quilted comforter in order to sus- tain a moribund and pampered indus- try. A WARNING THAT SHOULD BE HEEDED. When an attempt was made on Tues- day to longer delay the pubiic utilities bill in the senate, Senator Judson took occasion to warn the senators and the representatives that the time for action had arrived and that the tactics by which the measure was killed two years ago should not be again resort- ed to by = republican legislature. In part he said Probably p sentiment will not outraged again by such brazen ef- forts at corruption, but the less visible (though more subtle) and just as ef- fective methods of corrupting the con- sclences of ployed by a lobby entrenched in the capitol It a vote 1hlic members are being that is permanently corridors of this member is influenced in his the seductive promises of po- litical preferment, or the advancement of mome selfish interest i which he is concerned, and surrenders these blandishments, he is morally cul- pable as though he had off his vote on the auction block. Senater Judson said further: “If the Connecticut public is betrayed by its servanis as it was two vears ago upon this very subject, just so surely must the political penalty be paid by those responsible for such hetrayal” After what the senate has‘dope, no one should be surprised by what it may do. The Bulletin hopes Senator Judson will be able to hold the senators to the pledges they have made to the people, but it recognizes he has no easy task. to ed The Beston Transcript observes that “After all the worry and trouble of Norwieh ‘n getting threugh its com- mission form of guvernment, the vot- erd rejected it yesterday. Connecti- cut I certainly ‘a land of steady hab- its' and hard to mov The New Hampshire man who is sending the government conscience meney at the rate of $5 a month may be heping his luck will turn when he §ets the account squared offer to place at the dispesal of any member of the union a sum equal to men. As soon as it is generally under- stood, the provision will doubtless be | generally utilized. Connecticut, New Jersey, Main Vermont, Maryland, Minnesota and Wisconsin already have. given notice of desire to participate in its benefits. The federal bonus, which cannot be regarded as permanent, will serve to interest states which, once started, may be depended upon to con- tinue protective work.—Boston Record. This is a pretty good showing, too, for the enterprise of New England when four of the eight states are hers. The other two. Massachusetts and Rhode Island, ought to fall in and make it solid. It means better protec- tion for the woods and fewer wood fires. The extent of wood fires this spring in New England has been al- most unprecedented, and there is no doubt that a faithful and efficient pa- trol could have preventsd a great many of them. We have law enough upon the subject; but the surveillance of the woods is not what it should be. it is not consistent to have closed sea- sons for ‘wild game and then through carelessness to have it perish in the nesting season. Connecticut looks good among the first applicants. THE CANADIAN MAY. While the entire spring has been backward and a complete disappoint- ment here in southern New Ensgland, we learn from the Ottawa Citizen that they had the warmest May for eighty vears. The Citizen sa “Cold weather and sleighing pre- vailed in eastern Ontario until the 8th of April, when a succession of warm raips caused the snow to go away rapidly. Until a few days before that the mercury had been down to zero. but from that time on spring arrived with unusual suddenness and by the beginning of May the roads were dried up and the fields in a fair condition for cultivation. The month of May was as warm and generally delightful as the average month June. When we recall that in the spring of 1807 there was nearly a foot of snow on May 10th—of course a. very unusual event—we are in a position to appre- viate the differcnce this year. Tn 1909 the weather was so cool during the third week of June that a slight flurry of enow occurred, It only lasted a few minutes, but it was snow just the same. Luckily the weather had been £c cool before that vegetation had not progressed sufficiently to suffer much from frost.” EDITORIAL NOTES. If June days are rare, June mar- riages may be unfortunate as the mar- riages of any month, The tax rate at Newport is $12.50 en $1.000 and this is one good reason the wealthy find it an attractive resort. The Massachusetts legislature passed over the governor's veto the bill in- creasing the salary of its teachers. Happy thought for today: A man without a future and a woman without a past are in a sort of purgatorial state. ¥ The navy department has ordered three aeroplanes and will soon have an increase of highflyers added to its force. Where Father's day has been fixed for celebration, notice is given that “the governor” and “the old man” ‘are eligivle. Worcester's new union depot makes an end of all grade crossings, and this is the only big New England city free from these deathtraps.

Edna Goodrich is threatening to sue Nat Goodwin for over a million and a haif. He did not know Fdna was so dear and dangerous till now. It has not been possihle to dislodge Colonel Bryan as a political boss: but no democrat swells with pride now when called a Bryan democrat. It may be a great trial to have to give property away while living to escape the inheritance tax. This law works well for the k. =, anyhow.

The automobilists seem to have se- cured all that they wanted in the nev: law, and they are free to run at ex- press spe2d on the highways. Repre- sentative Peck of Stratford, an auto- mobile enthusiast, was very frank in deelaring that the automobilists were entitled to special privileges in the highways hecause they contribute $200,000 a vear in license fees for the upkeep of the roads. Of course, it was not worth while for him to mention the fact that the goodly sum of $200,000 is lamentably insuffi¢ient to make good the wear on roads caused in a year by automobiles and that the sum is ab- surdly insignificart compared with the princely appropriations made by the} taxpayers of the state for the building and maintenance of highways. It is evident from decisions In accident cases that the courts razard the au mobile spesd matter in an entirel different light from the legisletors, and it is also plain_that sufferers from speed maniacs will have to look to the courts for relief.—Br Diaz may insist that the battle of Juarez was unauthorized and there- fore unconstitutional.—Nashville Ban- ner.

T think we shall have to make a new rule, so that we can close the “Indoor and Out-of-Door Department” one day earlier each week, for this will help us and not discommode the little story writers. In future all stories and letters to Unele Jed must be received by him not later than Tuesday night, so it may be | more convenient for him to make the award of prizes. In future little original stories re- ceived on Wednesday will not be print- ed until the following week, so they should be mailed one day earlier to be sure of getting in this department the same week they are written. The work being done by the little folks is very pleasing to Uncle Jed. be- cause it is superior to the work done by er parte of this country, and in foreign countries, which comes under his eve. The children should write him about their pets, or wild birds and flowers or their little games and sports. Any thing they are interested in will make a story for this department, and may win a book for the writer. We have several bright little storfes this week. pointed articles will be given preference.

We see the oak, maple, chestnut, birch, willow, pine, cedar, bzech, but- ternut, elm, dogwood, wild cherry and Vari- ous mosses and herbs for medicine. - We could not live without plants. They purify the air for animals and make food for them to live on. They provide ur with clothing: our cotton comas from wooly hairs of . seed; woody fibers of bark make linen, and we get ‘sillc from the mulberry leaves. Both the flesh and coat of fur of ani- mals are due to plants. We get our fuel from wood and our coal is forests which were in existence ages ago. We can make dishes and spoo; from wood: make tools and b homes with wood. Even the warmth of our bodies comes from food we eaf, and it all comes from plants—Richard Tobin, age 9, Norwich. Why Women Should Vote. The reason why women should have the right to vote is because they obey the same laws, pay taxes and work as much and sometimes more than the men do. .

But the loval rooters stood by them and their yelling, coupled with Tommy’'s cheering worcs, made the members of the nine decide that chey had to win. Billy Greene, the second baseman, was the first man tb face the pitcher. Amidst pienty of cheering, Billy strode up to the plate, spat on his bat, hit the plate with it, and stood in a threatening manner facing the pitch- er. But it was no use.

At cight that night Tommy went to Bed. but, try as hard as he would, he could not get to sleep. His mind was on the ball game and he simply couid not get it off. Tinally, after about an hour’s twisting and furning, he fell asleep, only to dream that he won the game with a home run with three men on bases.
