F The Evening World’s plea for playgrounds needed additional | support from plain facts, the records of the Manhattan | Children’s Court made public this week supply the strongest sort “of argument. Nine thousand and asineteen separate involving children ywere heard during 1913, many of them coming before the Judges | igore than once, making the amazing average of seventy-five hearings | wach day. Two-thirds were cases of delinquent children; 37 per cent. were Offences springing from bid morals; one-fourth were charged with petty wrongdoing, such a breaking windows, playing ball in the Streets or building fires on the pavement. * Can anybody doubt that the overcrowded and sinister surround- ings in which vast numbers of the city’s children have to spend their Play hours are mainly responsible for these deplorable figures? When the youngsters have safo pleces in which to give their muscles and high epirits free play in happy, harmless ways we shall hear leas of youthful crime. What is more, we shal! hear less of adult Grime in the next generation. \ To protect a child’s body and mind from the perils and pitfalls @f « densely populated city, keep him off the etreets. ‘To kéeep him @ff the streets, give him playgrounds and plenty of them. ccteieceaincahidinpiancminenietts ¢ Fire Commissioner Adamson reports that in five months economies in his department caved the town treasury $638 000.

GOOD many persons get bumped in the street because, instead of keeping straight on ebout their business, they slow up, hesitate and confuse ‘people who are going in the oppo- fite direction. | The other day a-we!l known captain of a big Atlantic liner pointed out that many of the ship collisions that @ave shocked the world of late wouldn’t have happened if the ekippers had been going ghead at a fair speed. In the majority-of cases, notably that of the Enmpress of Ircland, the trouble came when the captains elowed down, began to prow! nervously aroand end tried to Apdge. > May it be that even in a fog too much caution can be as bed or woree than too little? It is an interesting question end worth think- fag about. There’s a great déal in keeping tight on. —— Twenty-four unattended automobiles “wtored” in the city streets were seised by the D. 8.

In the search for a husband it is so hard to find that perfect, happy medium between a bloodless idealist and a soulless materialist. The man who marries a woman with a shadowy past may be taking chances with his happiness, but the man who marries a women with ® brilliant future hasn't got even a chance, When Satan takes a personal interest in a woman he gives her all-afll tastes with @ near-silk income.

The miracle of “making something out of nothing” is frequently accome Plished when a woman succeeds in making an ideal husband out of a mere man.
