PLANS TO ENLARGE PLAYGROUNDS
Believing that more playground
facilities is one of Chickasha's great-'
est needs the City Federation of
Women's clubs has launched a move
ment to solve this problem.
The first step taken by the Feder
ation in this endeavor was to pass;
resolution urging the city school
and park boards to maintain the
North and South ward schools
playgrounds as public playgrounds
during the summer vacation and to
place trained supervisors in charge
of them.
A committee composed of Mrs. iW.
H. Gilkey Mrs. Bertram Harris and
Miss Jeannie V. O'Neill was ap-
pointed to promote the idea set
forth in the resolution.
Miss O'Neill stated today that the
matter had been referred to the
chairman of both boards and that
both had placed their approval on
the recommendations made by the'
federation. 'The matter will be sub-
mitted to both the park board and
the school board some time in the
very near future" she said

STUDIES REPORT
Oklahoma City April 29. Attor-
ney General George E. Short today
began a study of tho report of h
state examiner and inspector b al-
leged irregularities of over $230000
in the accounts of the county of-
ficials of Garfield county.
After a thorough study of the re-
port which will take several days
he will determine whether facts wllj
warrant bringing charges.
Short recolved the report late yes-
terday from the governor with in
structions to investigate.
The committee points out that the
playgrounds at these two school
buildings have been of no serv.'ce
during the summer vacation; that'
they are large enough to accommoj
date all the children in the respec-
tive communities and that a suf-
ficient amount of playground equip-
ment Is already available for use
during the summer.
"A playgrbund in the Frisco ad
dltion is especially needed" said
one of the members of the commit-
tee. "The children in this section"
of the city are without a public)
playground of any kind. The North
school ( building has a large play-
ground with adequate facilities
which If available for use during
the summer would accommodate
dozens of children."
The Klwanls club hag challenged
the Rotary club to play a series of
five baseball games the proceeds to
be- devoted to a Frisco addition play-
ground fund. Th games probably
will be played next month. .

indications this morning were that
the churches of the city will house
hundreds of boys at the morning
services.
The pastors of the city are co
operating with the movement to the
fullest degree. Without an excep-
tion the Chickasha ministers have
announced that they will deliver
talks especially prepared for the
boys. Those at the head of the
movement declare that thiB spirit of
co-operation extends through the
schools and into the homes of the
city. Everywhere the suggestion is
being made to the boys to go to
church. In no case is the young
American being told that he must
go to church. He is being told that
Rotarians over the entire world are
asking that the boys of their re-
spective towns go to church to-
morrow and the local ' Rotarians
state that wjthout question the boys
of Chickasha are to comply with the

CHURCH SUNDAY
Have you notice! the little yellow
tags bearing the "Meet me at. church
Sunday" slogan?
A great mayority of boys in Chick-
asha are wearing them. The tags
were intended at first only for the
boys but the men soon started ask-
ing for the tags with the result that
the supply was exhausted auicklv.
This did not stop the requests for
the tags. They came and were still
coming this morning according to
those in charge.
The outlook this morning was that
the "big boys" were i-aHyli'S 'round
nearly as strong as their sons or
little brothers in the matter of mak-
ing Sunday April 30 one of the ban-
ner church days In the history of
Chickasha. It began to look today
like if a fellow didn't want to be
alone on the street tomorrow from
11 o'clock to noon he had best at-

According to the dispatches nine

when agent of President Sua Yat

ers to pledge neutrality during Sua
Yat Sen's expedition against Pekln.
This refers to tho Invasion of the
territory of thn IVkln government
of General Chang Tso-I.ln who ha
tho back Ing of the Cantonese and
who is now fighting outside Pekln.
Tho fleet commanders refused to
pledgo neutrality and the Canton
government thereupon demanded that

This was refused and the gun
bonis cleared for action evidently
preparing to bombard Canton
One Direct Hit Made.

Artillery I Active.
(Hy The United Prm.)
Pokln April 29. Foreigners In
Pekln today heard tho rumble of
artillery as tho armies of Chang
Tso-Un tho war lord of Manchuria
battled with the forcos of Oeueral
Wu Pel-Fu viceroy of Honan. Le
gation guards are ready for action.
The rival Chinese loaders are
fighting for control of the Pekln
government. President Hsu Shih
Chang is here with a small garrW
son too weak to resist either of
the armies which are hammering
each othor at the city gates. The
victor in the battle now raging la
expected to advance upon Pekin.
Legatlona Are Guarded.
General Wue Pel-Fu marched upon
Pekln with the Intention of ousting
President Hsu Shih Chang on the
ground that he was too free in
handing concessions to foreigners.
He was Intercepted by the forces of
the Manchurian war' lord who has
the backing of Sun Yat Sen presi
dent of the Chinese government
with headquarters at Canton.
The foreign legations here are
protected by troops of each nation
represented and In event of invasion
of the city by either rebel army
these guards will defend the lega-
tions just as they did in the Boxef
uprising. Foreigners in Pekin would
go behind the legation walls for pro-
tection. It Is not thought likely
however that either of the rebel
chiefs will antagonize the powers by
menacing their legations.
