My car has been practically ruin- ed through no other cause than using this road. Why is it that streets where big business corporations have a large frontage are so neglected, is it because they have a pull with City Officials or is it simply neglect and carelessness on the part of the Officials? Would like question answered. , The present condition of this road is a monument disgrace to the Queen City and something must be dorurat once or the city, will face a good many damaged suits for loss of lives and property. Yours respectively, . A. o. PIDDINGTON, x I wish to lodge a serious complaint on behalf of myself and a great many others in regard to the condition of the Weston Road running between St. Clair Avenue and the City Limits. Dear Sir:-- a man in charge. The time is not far off when a man will have to be plac- ed in charge of the town park. With the advent of this new departure will also come the advisability of building up a playground area. Children will have to have other than parental su- pervision. This is evidenced by the City of Toronto, and we have also had illustrations locally. After school it would provide a place for children to go. Holidays would see it well pat- ronized. It would solve the problem for the parents who wish to take their children out for the day and are not keen on battling with the crowds to go to Niagara, Hamilton, or even To- ronto Island. Owing to the proximity of the River, it adds to the features al- ready situate. What provisions will be made? What efforts will be put forth to take up this important ques- tion. Who Will Take Initiative and Promote Interest for Chil- dren-Town Park While Toronto may lead in this pro- ject and keen thoughtfulness, there is still the opportunity for other com- munities to grasp the idea that it is essential 1nd_wise to make provision to takencare of the children in the early stages. Is it wise to wait until the community assumes such a propor- tion as to make it imperative that pro- vision must be made? Js it wise to wait until such time as the matter may be drastically brought before the community heads that some action must be taken to contend with such conditions that have been created through Jack of' foresight? When a community has the facilities, it natur- ally presents itself that is the time to take the necessary action and prepare for eventualities. weston has all the natural facilities for the build- ing of a playgrounds. The fair grounds are in every way just what‘is re- quired. With the reclaiming of the triangle, west of the Eagle Bridge and the clearing of the western half of the park, this gives an ideal spot for the creation ot: a playground. It costs about forty dollars for a slide and about half that for a swing. These could be erected and taken care of by It is not always the best method of l y getting back at a one-time friend byl 1' waiting to get him in a manner that l M will forever create his dislike. The l ff best way, if he has a family of small ti: children is to buy one or two tin 1 ar horns, a couple of drums, two cheap _ I, tambourines, a dozen rattles and sev- ', L eral other articles that children f,ei-,) light in by making a noise. Then give I la them to his children. This method has M been tried out with great effect, and! the tact and diplomacy are worthy of 1'k note. However, those instruments may I fr appeal in the winter months and along with other forms of amusement, the l OI children are fairly well taken care ft of. Since the inception of the motor car a great many fatalities have oc- C curred, and the statistics show that Ir the majority of these accidents occur h, in the summer months, due, no doubt, d: to the fact that children are out. a M great deal more. Many methods have been applied ineffectively to overcome _ al this hazard. Children cannot be pre- te vented running on the open roadway, tr despite the warnings of the parents and others. As a consequence, the N mortality rate is steadily on the in- lr crease and mourners are many. A 80- lr lution has been submitted that may' come to the rescue of those who are most concerned over these conditions. Toronto leads the “lay in providing] playgrounds for the children. Special B lots are made available and are free 01 to the community. These are equip- D ped with swings, slides and many oth- oi er articles and forms of pleasure that T appeal to the children. This is con- tll centration and is exemplified by the fact that every opportunity is taken by the children of Toronto in spending W much of their time in these small ht parks. The result is that the chil- B dren are off the streets and also that H their parents may rest assured that C they are out of harm's way. Of tg Course, they still run the chance of be- ing struck by passing cars or trucks while traversing the roadway, but the al proportion of time required in cross- ef, ing and the time that would be spent G on the roadway if there were no play- M grounds eliminates to a great extent tll the possibility of another little white hlWlllE M THE EHILHHEN? on the roadwz grounds elimi the possibility coffin.

Mason Hopper, who also di- rected Miss Chadwick and Mr. Dix in the recent Rupert Hughes photo- play, "Dangerous Curve Ahead!" His latest work reveals an admirable sense of stage direction and the utilization of every dramatic and comic moment in the story. "The Glorious Fool? is one of those must pictures-the kind that-MUST'be seen. Put it on your, list. _ In ioving'rr1ernoicy of Aviator” Stat- ford "Maekten Pritchard, 'who' fell at Bairie, May 24th; 1:911:49 l ____~' This Mary Roberts Rinehart story is laid in a hospital with Helene Chadwick as a nurse on probation and Richard Dix as a rich patient. Their comic episodes together are ex- ecution that_are most welcome to a reviewer who is almost surfeited with bad screen acting. Rarely is it possible to find such superb comedic acting as may be seen in "The Glorious Fool," a Goldwyn photoplay by Mary Roberts Rinehart, which is to be shown by the Allen Beaver Theatre on Monday and Tues- day, Helene Chadwick and Richard Dix are the leading players in an ex- cellent production which includes many others, the stately Kate Lester, Vera Lewis, Otto Hoffman, Theodore Von Eltz and Frederic Vroom. HHNIEH SUSE NEW STAMIAHU What would you do it your best friend stole the affections of your wife? That is the situation presented to John Anixter in "Grand Larceny," the new Goldwyn picture, coming to the Allen's Beaver Theatre, for two days, next Wednesday and Thursday How the three people involved solve their relationship makes a remark able denouncement for an unusually well produced photoplay. The first accident to the new light- ing system occurred on Monday morn- ing, when a load of hay was on its way through the town, when it side- swiped one of the standards and re- duced it to three pieces. It appears that the driver of the wagon was en- deavouring to edge away from an ap- proaching street car, forgetting entire- ly the proximity of the standards to the roadway. The result was that the force of the load of hay pushed the standard from its position, breaking it off and crashing it to the ground. The lamp and globe were both smash- ed and also the upright was snapped at the top._ .-_. * The last meeting of the season of the Grenfell Mission in the form of a tea and shower was held at the home of Mrs. A. A. Briggs, King St., on Friday afternoon, the 19th. The day was forbidding, nevertheless a large number of ladies turned out and testi- fied to their continued interest in the estimable'work that is being done) The season's sewing was finished during the a1 ternoon. Mesdames Bowden, Pollack and Anderson, from Toronto, eontri- buted delightful vocal and piano num- bers to the enjoyment of the guests. Afternoon tea was served by Miss Briggs and her many assistants, after which the hostess and her daughter were conducted to a prominent place arid Mrs. Briggs was tendered a hearty vote of thanks and presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers by Mrs. Joseph Nason on behalf of the So- ciety, while Niss-Briggs was the re- cipieut of a beautiful gold wrist watch, presented to her as a token of loving appreciation by the tellow-members and a few friends of the cause. Mrs, Lyons, who made the presentation, in her short address, referred to Miss Briggs' continuous and self-denying effort as tea convenor. Only those in- timately associated with her know how much work her office entailed. Refer- ence was also made to her noble army of helpers in the cutting out of the garments. Mrs. N B. Moffat clasped the watch on Miss Briggs' wrist amid much applause. The generous gift of a cheque for ten dollars from the A. B. K. Club, This will be applied to the maintenance of the orphan boy, Roland Compton. The Weston branch is responsible for this. The executive expressed their grateful thanks to the Club for the gift and also to the many friends, who during the past season, have helped to make this work a sue- cess. The bale will be packed and shipped this week to the Labrador Coast. Driver Unknown Although several people witnessed this accident from a distance, none have any recollection of the features other than it was a load of hay. Since then Constable Wm. Campbell has been able to secure a fairly good description of the man' and it is expected that dur, ing the course of the next few days he will be apprehended. The charge will also be serious in view of the fact that the driver continued as he surely must have heard,the noise. An- other possibility has arisen and that was/in the event of any of the wires being exposed to the public. Although the accident happened at 11.00 a.m.', it was indeed fortunate that most of the children were at school or some- thing might have happened. The hydro men were soon on the job and the damage was repaired as far as possible considering the conditions.
