A public spirited woman, prominent in New York social life, gain sete an admirable example by throwing her town house near Riverside Drive open to poor children during the hot weeks. Instead ef standing through the summer, like hundreds of other New York te "esidences, empty and useless behind its shutters, this house will offer Sa farge rooms specially furnished to take care of boys and girls be- re iween the ages of two and eight, giving them healthful change from ae (he heat and grime of the neighborhoods where they live. + » educators, social workers, city officials, officers of the newly formed Safety First Society, acting with Park Commissioner Werd, all actively support The Evening World's demand that the city @onvert its vacant lots into playgrounds. Private property owners re urged to turn over their idle plota of ground for the same purpose. Corporatton Counsel Polk has interested himself in the move- ment and now takes pains to assure property holders that their re- | @ponsibility for injuries, etc., will cease from the time the city by extending the jurisdiction of the Park Commissioner takes charge of tie borrowed premises. This puts the loan of private land for playgrounds on e reasmuring Begal basis and should etimulste many offers, The Evening World| will gladly give its aid to all persona controlling real eatate who wish $0 open their empty lote to the children.
