WAR HAS BROUGHT OUT NEED FOR MORE PLAY Playground and Recreation Y car Book Notes Increased De mand For I se of Leisure Time New York, May I.—While the i general effect of the war upon play- I grounds is still an open question, ! there is no doubt that this country has been awakened by the war, to a keener sense of the importance of recreation centers, according to the 19IS Year Hook of the Playground and Recreation Association of America just issued. The demand for opportunities to play after work hours is as widespread as it is en couraging. There has been a mark ed increase during the year both in the centers tor evening recreation and the attendance there. Unquestionably the fact that thir ty-five per cent, of the men in the first draft were rejected as physi cally unlit has made Americans realize how cstcntial is upbuild ing exercise and recreation under the guidance of trained leaders. The statistics collected after correspond ence with 1,700 cities indicate a healthy and steady progress in re " creation work. The report of the association shows that more than 780 playgrounds were open the year round and evening recreation work was conducted in more than 700 schools of 101 cities. More than 8.000 trained men and women were engaged in directing play at re creation centers throughout the country. For colored children alone more than luO playgrounds were main tained. Three hundred swimming pools, four hundred public baths and two hundred public bathing beaches were used by thousands of persons. The flfeet of the war upon play grounds and recreation was report ed by 27 7 cities. 172 of which give the result as unfavorable. The de crease in attendance is attributed to the fact that many of the older children were working in factories. Moreover, it was hard to get trained, competent leaders because of the number of men who went into the service of their country and of wom en who engaged in war work. In ! many cases, appropriations were out down, playground funds were de voted to war garden activities and the playgrounds themselves •were used by war agencies. But 105 cities reported that the war so far from checking recreation work, had stimulated it. The at tendance of small children in creased. as did that of their elders at the evening sessions. Appropria tions were enlarged and more cen ters established. The number of cities initiating such work was smaller than in 1917. being reduced to twenty, but those cities which continued the work called for a greater number of leaders to con duet their greater activities. On the whole, the year of 191S shows many gains. Everywhere community leaders and citizens par '!Bij J - |||l| 5 |§Si§iu,. : ■ Sliti "Workman" asks: "I am so affected with painful kidneys that I cannot work regularly. My sleep is disturbed by frequent calls, only to void small amount and follows burning, smart ing pains. Backaches and often chills and fever making ine real sick for a day.

G." writes: "If you know rf anything that will cure dandruff, itching scalp and premature baldness, please let me know what it is." Answer: For several years I have prescribed plain yellow Minyol as su perior to anything known for the treatment of diseased scalp. Get it. in four-ounce jars with full direc tions.

Especially were they i brought to realize what recreation, directed by trained leaders, meant ( to the men in'uniform. This realiza i tion has given momentum to the re ! crrationul movement all over the United States. The Association reports that com j plete returns from 396 cities show that they maintained 3.571 play grounds and neighborhood centers I under paid leadership. In 181 of • these cities the work was adminis tered wholly or in part by some de partment of a municipality;that is. 70.9 per cent of the total and an , increase of ten per cent, over 1917. : In addition to municipal activities, centers were maintained by Play ground and Recreation Associations and Leagues.

Bomber Who Ventured on Capitol Hill Would Be Up Against Arsenal It would be a hardy sort of Bol shevist who would venture on Capi tol Hill these days. As a result of the effort to send bombs to Gover nor Sproul. Attorney General Sehaf fer and others, which was frus .trated by investigators who found , the infernal machines in the New York post office yesterday, it was noticeable to-day that there was a 1 plentiful supply of weapons in the : various departments. Shotguns and I revolvers are the favorites. "Not ; that we fear any trouble." said one of the clerks to-day as he caressed ja big 44. "but you neyer can tell s what a gang of irresponsibles like j those who sent the bombs might try to do. so we are well prepared." No fears are entertained by the authori ties that there will be any further | efforts on the part of those who sent the bombs but it has been though j best to be on guard. •ill WINGS START S'JOO.OOO FIRE Philadelphia.

' Shortly after sunset it is the tirst star to appear, as it far surpasses in i brilliance every other object in the sky except the sun anil moon. So bright is it. that after dark it casts i under favorable conditions a dis | tinct, albeit faint, shadow. It may j also lie seen in broad daylight, if ; one knows where to look for it.

The new crescent moon and Venus liap- , pen to be relatively close together, I and the moon can be used as a guide j in finding Venus. Unless the sky is blue and fairly transparent, how ■ ever, it will not be easily seen. | At 4 p. m. on May : the moon \ will pass three degrees and live min- ; utes south of Venus; hence Venus: , will at that hour be less than six j i moon-breadths north of the north- i | ern horn of the moon, i If you cannot quickly find the new i moon, try this: Look directly over j head; follow downward a short dis- j ; tance in the direction of the north ' western horizon, and you should i find the crescent witliou* much dif ) ficulty.

Venus is to-day a little more than 110 million miles from the earth; it j is now approaching us at the rate of about a half million miles a day. and is consequently growing j brighter.

Foolish Complaints Complaint is being made by many people throughout the city, however, that the solicitors are not calling upon then). While some of the so licitors are working at nights and covering their territory house by house and block by block, others are "laying down," as reports received at noonday luncheon show. Chair man Andrew S. Patterson, of the Victory I.oan committee for Harris burg. this morning issued a state ment in which he urged all Harris burg patriots who have not been ap proached by Victory Bond salesmen, to go to the bank with which they deal, or to any bank, and buy Vic tory Bonds to the extent of their resou roes. "It simply must not be said of Harrisburg that after the war was over, that after the enemy had been defeated and patriotic ardor had been dimmed, the people simply laid I KEEP LOOKING YOUNG It's Easy—lf You Know Dr. Edwards' Olive Tablets The secret of keeping young is to feel young—to do this you must watch your liver and bowels—thcre'snoneedof hav* ing a sallow complexion dark rings J under your eyes pimples—a bilious look in your face —dull eyes with no ; sparkle.

Cripples Io Fine ' If all of the people of Harrisburg were like the crippled employes of 'the Capital City Artificial Limb Com pany. this city would have bought on the first day of the campaign $lO.- 000.000 worth of bonds. Evety one of the employes of .his ccinpatty ,s a buyer of bonds, and not of tngle SSO bonds, but of bonds in quantity. The same thing is true of the teach ers in the Maclay street school, who actually have stinted themselves for months to come so that they might buy bonds. The indifference of the people of the city to the call of the govern ment that they take up Victory Bonds is evidenced by the fact that alst night. when several thou- j sand people were gathered at the j corner of Mulberry and Perry streets j where street dancing was in prog ress. the Victory Ixtnn salesman who I, canvassed the crowd and who plead- ! ed for subscriptions met with a re- - sponse that would have shamed the little vil'age of Gratz. There were 1 "hundreds of people dancing, and additional hundreds on the side lines watching the dancers, but when they were asked to buy honds they were "not interested." The war is over. Counties Doing Well Reports from Perry and Juniata counties to-day are to the effect that these counties are going to take up their full allotments of Victory' Bonds. Cumberland county has taken its entire n'lotment. Lebanon, Lan- • caster. York and Berks counties are', buying bonds in quantities surpris- | ing to Philadelphia headquarters.! The City of Harrisburg, however, ap- ; parent'y doesn't care whether there are bonds in its strong boxes or not. The war is over. They had a band at Chestnut! street auditorium to-day ready to head a parade of successful Victory Bond salesmen. It was planned to' take this parade through the prin cipal streets of the city and whoop things up so that Harrisburg would know that its patriotic citizens had again demonstrated their great in- \ terest. their undying support and. their faith in the future of democ racy. But they didn't need this band. It played some lively airs during the noonday luncheon. but what it really should have played was Chop in's "Marche Funebre." A dirge would have been far more in keeping with the spirit of the occasion. The 1 war is over.
