PLAYGROUNDS PROVE
VALUE CUTTING DOWN
JUVENILE FATALITIES
NEW YORK, July 28. (/P)—Fatal
street accidents to children are much
fewer in cities amply supplied with
wrell distributed playgrounds than in
cities not so well supplied with these
safety zones. This conclusion of the
National Safety Council engineers
was made public recently by the
Playground and Recreation Associa
tion of America, with which the
Council is cooperating in its safety
campaign.
The investigations of the safety ex
perts in most of the cities cover the
three year period 1922-1924 and show'
that cities with the most playgrounds
had only one-third .to one-fourth as
many child pedestrian fatalities as
adult fatalities.
In Cleveland, with a high pedes
trian fatality rate, less than 30 per
cent of the vicOms were children,
according to the study. The city
has 72 supervised playgrounds. Its
low percentage of child fatalities is
in marked contrast to the high per
centage in an eastern county, where
playgrounds are few and poorly dis
tributed:
In Toledo, very few child fatali
ties were found within normal draw
ing distance of playground locations.
Toledo has 12 playgrounds. The po
sitions of the grounds w’ere plotted
on a spot map and circles of a quar
ter mile and half mile radii were
drawn about each to indicate their
effective area for the different ages
of children. Out of 32 child automo
bile fatalities during the three years,
only four ocurred within the quarter
mile circles and six in the half mile
distance.
In Richmond, which has many play
grounds in proportion to the popula
tion, the child automobile fatalities
■were less than 2 per cent of the to
tal number in which pedestrians
were involved. Only 12 children were
killed by automobiles in the city dur
ing a three-year period ended De
cember 21, 1924.
Two hundred thirty-one cities es
tablished 635 new playgrounds last
year, the Playground and Recreation
Association reports. New Athletic
fields number 132.
Wealthy Priijce of India
To Visit South America
BUENOS AIRES, July 28. (JP)—It
is announced that the Maharajah of
Kapurthala, one of India’s wealthiest
princes, will soon be a guest of Bu
enos Aires, having already reserved
an entire floor in the city’s largest
hotel for himself and suite. The
Maharajah wil be the first ruling
prince of India to visit Argentina
and he is expected to arrive a fewr
days before the Prince of Wales.
This Indian prince, who has been
a ruler since the early age of three
years, caused a sensation some years
ago by marrying th eSpanish dancer,
Anita Delgado, and is a wreil known
figure in the capitals of Europe. He
always travels in great state, with
a numerous retinue, and an extraor
dinary quantity of luggage. The
Maharajah proved his loyalty to the
British Empire during the World
War by placing his entire yearly
income of more than 3,000,000 at the
disposal of the British government.
Mr. and Mrs. F. W. Beyers, former
business people of Unalaska, left for
Cordova Sunday, where they expect
to make their future home.
With Stabilized Mark,
Germans Again Acquire
The Habit of Saving
BERLIN, July 28. (iP)—Recent sav
ings bank figures show that the Ger
mans are beginning to save again
and in the past year and a half the
number of depositors has grown rap
idly. During the inflation period no
one in Germany thought of saving
money.
It was a policy of either “spend
it before it is worthless,” or ol “get
rich-quick.” Gradually, however, with
the stabilizing of the mark value,
the wisdom of economy has begun
to reassert itself. Government offi
cials and brain workers furnish the
largest percentage of the depositors.
Occupation Authorities
Bar Ems Anniversary
Torch Light Parade
--—
EMS, Germany, July 28. (/P)—1The
600th anniversary of the proclama
tion of this popular spa as a muni
cipality was solemnly observed with
oratory and historic pageants. A
torch light parade which had been
planned was prohibited by the occu
pation authorities.
Ems was the favorite recreation
spot of the Hohenzollerns and ac
quired historic fame thru the meet
ing of King William of Prussia, lat
er William I, and the French Ambas
sador Benedetti, in 1870, which cul
minated in Bismarck’s famous “Ems
dispatch,” the signal for the Franco
Prussian War.
