vises Citizens to "Go Into

Establishment of a slnglo unit of gov
ernment for Philadelphia's parks nnd rec

letln Issued today by the Bureau of Munici
pal Jlesearch. The bulletin urges tho citi
zens to "go Into the recreation-game In the
same dead-ln-enrnest, compelling spirit In

been sewed up." '
Citing the solution of the transit problem
as an exnmplo of what can be accomplished
In Philadelphia, when tho people aro deter
mined to accomplish a definite purpose, tho

Bureau of City Property has Jurisdiction
over Uartram's Qardens, League Island
Park, the John E. noybum Parks, etc., nnd
that tho Board of Ilccreatlon nnd Bonrd of
Education also have their fingers tn what
Is described ns tho "recreation pie." Tho
Municipal Court In opening "play streets"
Is listed as "tho most recent doctor for tho
municipal recreation patient "
"There Is no recognition of tho existence
of a large problem that requires compre
hensive planning," tho statement complains:
"No co-ordination, no program."

, Police Court Chronicles
A dozen or moro young women fled from
tho veranda of tho Cobb's Creek Country
Club when n n'mblo, middle-aged man, with
a bald spot as big ns n saucer, appeared In
Cobb's Creek opposlto tho public golf courso
nnd began to oxecuto a crudo version of tho
spring dance.
Tho elderly dancer wns devoid of cloth
ing. There wns only about two Inches of
water running In tho creek, so that there
was nothing to Intorfcro with tho 1 ghtness
of his movcmontB ns ho pranced about tho
bod of tho stream. Ho lifted a foot or nn
arm In an attempt at grace, and he bent
his body to tho right nnd the left llko n
society dancer. Tho dancor va3 stout, but
that did not seem to Interfere with tho light
ness of his movements. Tho sunlight glis
tened on his bald spot ns he pirouetted In
the Bhallow water.
And In the moantlme tho phono jingled
In the Gist and 'Thompson streets station.
Tho sergeant blinked when ho glued an
car against tho receiver,
"Oh my." a troubled girlish voice said,
"do send several big policemen to the Cobba
Creek Country Club. There Is a shocking
creature hopping about llko a mad thing
In Cobbs. Creole.
"Is It'man or beast?" Inquired, tho ser
geant. Oh, It's a man a terrible man ; ho hasn't
he hain't ho hasn't "
"Hasn't what?" said tho sorgcant Im
patiently! "Hasn't a thing on." camo the reply,
rathor weakly.
Somo big policemen weresent, but In
the meantime Park Guard Jnmcs Kcarnoy
had spotted tho nimble dancor.
"Where nro your clothes?" asked tho
park guard.
"They aro ever and anon," replied the
dancer, smiling Bweetly una executing a
bow that would have done credit to 'Pav
lowa. "Whero In Is that?" said Kearney
crossly. ,
'I left them on tho show of yesterday,"
said the middle-aged ono, flinging out hla
left foot and throwing hla Tight nrm
heavenward.
"Hero, you old huy," commanded Kear
ney, looking nervously toward the club
house, "you crawl Into those bushes thero
and Btay there until I And your garments.
Crawl, old boy, crawl."
Kearnoy vigorously used a fpot to stim
ulate action, and "when the man was
screened by bushes tho Park guard started
A hunt for his clothing. He foujid them
about a quarter of a mile away.
Kearney was returning with the gar
ments when he was startled by an un
earthly howling. He soon came upon the
dancer, racing back and forth In the bushes
like nn unruly cow on a rampage. The
middle-aged one was slapping his bare skin
and kicking up his heels like a refractory
colt. Tho old fellow oven hammered at
his bald spot.
Kearney charged after tno man and after
a race of 10 mlriutea succeeded In cor
rallng him. , ,
"What's the matter wltti you now?" In
quired Kear oy, all out of breath. ,
"Like Job, I'm sorely oppressed," panted
the old one.
Kearney made an examination, and In
spito of his trials he laughed, for he found
that the dancer's skin had been invaded by
an army of ticks. They were burrowing
Into his hide llko swallows Into a sand.
bank.
'Glad of It," said Kearney; "now you
hustle into that shirt and those pants."
It was a painful operation getting the old
fellow Into his clothes, but at length It was
finished, and a little later the prisoner
was booked at tho Thirty-second and Wood
land avenue station as Michael Jordan.

Delcgatloni wero also present from Long

"There Is not a man In hell who did not

declared. "If you nro not man enough to

"It Isn't necessary to go back 1900 years

Finally tholr drivers, with tho assistance
of several cops, made a triangular charge.
In which they mnnaged to mobilize tho cows
near tho ccntor of the square Then the
head drover uttered a savago yell, which is

fflie Standard of &tue and Qcialrty
TT7E hove never attempted to build racing
y y cars. We have always contended that
one mile a minute is more speed than
any man can use with safety on the open
road. So that is the maximum pace we
guarantee to our owners.
Nevertheless, Paige has been the winner In
many races. In the Phoenix-Los Angeles
race, for Instance, it was a Paige that flashed
across the line first. It had traveled 706
miles across the desert beating a field of
twenty cars most of them acknowledged
"racers" driven by American speed kings.
The Paige won that gruelling contest not be
cause it was the fattest car but because it
was the most reliablt car.
It went through without a single stop without
so much as opening the wood during the
entire 706 miles. That Is why it won. That
is why Paige cars will always win if the
race is only long enough anil rough enough
to be a real test of endurance.
That, also, is on. excellent reason why your
next car should be a New Series Fairfield
"Six-46."
