The park board will provide a swimming master for duty
at the Piedmont Park lake every morning this summer, as
well ns every afternoon.
They haven’t taken definite action yet, but J. 0. Cochran,
a member of the board, says that there should be no trouble
in getting the park board to provide a man for duty in tho
mornings. As they have already provided one for tho after
noons the lake can be in use all of every day.
Mr. Cochran’s statement follows:
Sp °nwar Mr' WM t Ins—Tdlfnot belUve that It will b« necessary for the pub
lic to ^et up subscriptions to pay an assistant swimming master at Piedmont
P * rl WhUe*Mr. n wii!go and other publlc-splrlted citizens are to be commended
for offering to raise funds to pay the salary of an assistant, the park board
will, no doubt. And the money. I know It can bo found and when the board
meets the matter will be brought to their attention. I believe that the lake
In Piedmont should be kept open to tho publlo from morning until night.
The swimming pool Is practically finished now, but the lake will not be re
filled before July 1, altho a six-inch stream of water Is running Into It day
and night. J- COCHRAN.
This is fine business. & would be a shame if the park
board allowed the lake to waste its cooling waters on the pol-
lywogs and minnows thru tho long morning hours, with a thou
sand small boys and girls fairly aching to plunge in. Let the
lake be opened all day and every day that it may be for the
real good of the greatest number.
And while we are on the subject of the small boy and what
is good for him, let us not forget that the festive Fourth of July
will soon be with us and that the small boy’s best chance to
blow his head off will soon be here.
Doubtless the polioe will do something to shut down on the
firecraoker nuisance. And if they will, they can practically
keep the city free from the curse of cheap gunpowder.
But for all that the small boy will find his way and if he
can’t shoot firecrackers in town he’ll go to tho country and
shoot them—if he gets the firecrackers.
In the long run, then, it is up to the parents of the small
boys. If they refuse to buy firecrackers for the kids, then the
said kids will do without fireorackers.
Every year Fourth of July explosions kill children by the
scores and injure them by the thousands. And after each
, Fourth of July there is the awful toll of lockjaw levied by the
men who sell cap pistols and cheap revolvers.
Most of the deaths among children como from causes be
yond human control. But here is one cause of wholesale deaths
nnd injuries that we can control. Forbid the sale of firecrackers,
blank cartridges and cap pistols and the good is accomplished.
However, it does not take any such formal- action to get
good results. If parents will prevent their boys from shoot
ing firecrackers and pistols on the Fourth of July they will
save many lives and prevent many accidents.
This Fourth of July celebration, ns conducted nowadays, is
much of a joke. Ask the boy who makes the most nojse with
his pistol what he is celebrating, and he’s blessed if he knows—
it’s something about the British, but ho can’t remember, and
anyhow he hasn’t any hard feelings. So why celebrate—and es
pecially why celebrate in an expensive, senseless and dangerous
way! . \
Is the good accomplished by such a celebration enough to
offset the burning, the blinding, the wounding, the maiming—
aye, and the killing—of little children!

Route Lies From Paris to Lon
don and Then Back to
Paris Again.
Paris, Juno 17.—The third and great
est International air race to start from
this city this month—the circuit of Eu
rope—will be Inaugurated tomorrow If
the weather permits. The route lies
between this city and Brussels, thence
to the coast over the English channel to
London and then back to Paris. A num-
ber of famous aviators have entered
the race. The course does not offer
such great dangers as the Paris-th-
Madrld and Parls-to-Turln races which
started from Paris.
Over 1(5,000 In prizes have been hung
up by various donors. The following
have offered prizes for a successful
flight:
The Standard, Le Journal, the town
of Vincennes, Le Petit Blue, the mu
nicipality of Liege, the town of Calais,
the .municipality of Brussels, the town
of Spa, the Netherlands aviation com
mittee.
This will be In some ways the great
est race In the history of aviation. The
aviators have until June 30 to com
plete It.
Among the towns and cities on the
route ars Rhelms, Liege, Hanover,
Hamburg, Bremen. Wesel, Utrecht,
Lille, Calais, Brooklands, Brighton and
Rourn.
One of the most Interesting features
of the great race will be that the air
men will have opportunity of winning
prizes at every stopping point along
the route. Two kinds of stops wifi
take place In the race. One will con
sist of stages defined as points of ar
rival for each day's Journey, where the
aviators will remain until the signal of
their departure Is given by the officials.
At the other stopping places competi
tors will be compelled to alight, but
will be able to resume their Journey
Immediately afterward, without await
ing an official signal to start.

By winning two firsts,’ two seconds and one third in the two divisions
which they, competed in the Algonquin hill climb near Chicago last week, the r
cars proved their speed and strength in a manner that has excited an unu*
amount of comment. The fact that the only American stock car that boat th
machine made by the J. I. Case Threshing Machine Company had more th.
twice the latter’s cylinder displacement and sells for more than twice as rm.r
money is In itself a matter worthy of Interest to every man who can handle

Ray Harroun, driver of the victorious Marmon car in the Indianapolis
stakes race at Indianapolis May 30, traveled 600 miles at the fastest rate for t
distance that man has ever known.* The average of 74.81 miles per hour Is
world's speed record for the distance, the time being 6 hours 42 minutes J

Traveling at the same rate, the yellow Marmon car could cover the enth

The Marmon car already holds the 200-mile American speedway record

George M. Dickson, secretary and treasurer of the National Motor VehW

' Raymond’s Ride
By WILLIAM P. KIRK.
(Copyright, 1911, National News Association.)
Listen, dear rooters, and you shall hear
Of the ride of a modern Paul Revere,
The Paul Revere of "seventy-five”
Rode like a fiend and won In a drive.
The Paul Revere whose praises I sing
Is Arthur Raymond, the spltball king.
No plunging charger, no Arab steed,
Loans to Raymond Its wondrous speed.
No dainty thoroughbred, sleek of side.
Plays a part In our Raymond’s ride.
Just a lumbering wagon, creaking and shaking,
Serves for the wonderful ride he’s taking.'
And It hustles him over hollow and hill.
Drawn by a good old horse named WILL.
