"a CASE BRINGS ON PROTEST Demand Grows for Public Control of Amusement Places in East NEW YORK, March 28.—The ci of Tex Rickard, who is charged with mistreating little girls whose parents | @llowed them to frequent his great #wimming pool in Madison Square Garten, has quickened a demand for Public contro! of commercial amuse. | nt places, “Make play safe! ts the slogan of the movement. When Rickard transformed the garden into a swimming i, tee action generally was re; asa) boon for New York. “But if it be proved that Rickard | harmed a single child who went to this place.” says Ferdinand Pecora, chief assistant district attorney, “all the good the place has done cannot make up for the harm done.” While Rickard is fighting to prove his innocence, forces are gathering that look toward stricter supervision of similar enterprises, not only in New York, but in every community fm the United States, Leaders in the Movement hope to have the govern ments, state or local, actually come to own and operate such places. Rev. Charles L. Stelzle, one of America’s foremost sociologists, said, today: “Recreation, paradoxical as fl may seem, is too serious a matter to be left in private hands. Especially ts ‘this true in the case of large amuse- ment enterprises. “The history of commercialized amusement ix that too often It falls fnto the hands of men who betray the trust that their public responsi- national! health of mind and boy. this cannot be had unless play is conducted in the right moral en- 2? to ald in expansion of public contro! of recreational facilities now being exploited by private owners. In’ New York the Manhattan Borough League of Women Voters fs aroused by the Rickard case, mainly beeause of the charges that parents who entrusted their children to Rickard and his institution found their trust betrayed. “More women police would help to an extent,” says Mrs. Robert P. Ott-| ver, executive secretary of this or. ganization. “But that would be merely a palliative. The remedy must) be more fundamental. Good recreation is as great a need as good roads and there is just as much rea. son for the government to provide one as the other.” reereation ts a safeguard | JESDAY, MARCH 28, 1922.

Td like to hear somebody else,” All right! The folowing article was prepared by Philip J. Sinnott, Seattle cor respondent of the Newspaper Enter prine association, for simpltaneous | publication today In 535 newspapers thruout the United States, ‘This is the way the plan seems to an abso. hutely unprejudiced observer—and it clinches my case! Here's Sinnott's article: Seattle will vote May 1 on the “Erickson plan,” which would cut street car fare on the muny lines from 8% cents to 3 cents, levying a special tax on idle lands in the city to make up the deficit. Councilman Oliver T. Erickson, the originator, says his plan will mean also better services, adequate fi nancing to retire bonds and means of extension and improvements. At present, with 8\%-cent fare, the system nets barely enough to meet operating and maintenance costs and pay the Interest on indebtedness, Seattic purchased its street car | system as a wartime neceasity to In | sure’ adequate transportation for shipyard workers, The price was | $16,000,000. “The big price paid has made ade. quate operation a serious problem,” says Erickson. “This has given a black eye to muny ownership all over the country. “The plight of the atreet car sys tem is a detriment to the whole city. The whole city must combine to remedy it." Erickson's plan, therefore, puts on Property owners the maintenance }and operation of the system. Car riders, paying Scent fare, would re deem and pay Interest on the $15,- 000,000 bond ismue for the purchase, building In addition a $1,500.000 an- |nuat fund for extension and depre- | elation. | ‘The campaign over the sme ts | keen. Opponents declare the plan in | confiscatory; that it would take the | homes of small property owners. “We are already paying a high tax lin car fares,” Erickson retorts, “But two-thirds of Seattle's lots are va. | cant, and held for speculation. They bear no share in this burden. Under my plan, owners of this land, now exempt, would have to help, and the | Durden thus would be more evenly | distributed.” | | LONDON.-Maj Ronald True, English aviator, charged with mur. jder in connection with death of rtrude Yates, otherwise known as lOttve Young. Three Others May Pay the Price Your dentist will tell you that four people out of every five past the age of forty have Pyorrhea. And thousands of younger persons are victims of this dangerous enemy. Are your gums sore or tender? Do they bleed when you brush your teeth? If s0, go to your dentist at once and start using Forhan’s For the Gums immediately. For bleeding gums are an early symptom of Pyorrhea which quickly loosens the teeth, until they drop out or must be _pulled, and causes poisonous pus pockets to which scientists trace many serious ailments. You can prevent Pyorrhea, or arrest its course, by the con- sistent use of Forhan’s For sufficient time. Brush your teeth with Forhan’s twice a day It will keep your teeth and or oftener. ep gums in a healthy condition. Remember—four out of five are caught by Pyorrhea because they are neglectful.
