The conventions of thla fall In various
parte of the Mississippi valley to consider
the subject of river Improvement are tha
moat Important yet called for the pur
pose In any one year. It la gratifying to
know that a sublet of such moment la be
ginning to attract the attention It deservee.
These conventions cover the upper and the
lower Mississippi, the Missouri, Ohio, Tenn
essee, the Kaw and other river systems.
Tha floods of a few months ago emphasised
the need of such assemblages, and tha
progress of practical Irrigation la another
reason why these gntherlnga are timely
and of Interest throughout the country.
Dlscunston of deeper and better channela,
levees, storage reservoirs and modern boata
la In order and will advance all sensible
movements to obtain them. The civilised
world la giving more thought to Improved
waterwaya than at any other period In his
tory. There are honest differences aa to how
the great navigable rivers of the Mississippi
valley can beet be made to serve the In

they may be utilised for Irrigation; refor

with large subsiding reservoirs In the
swampy bayous; and. Anally, by the re
moval of the bars at the delta and opening
of all the available and possible outleta
to permit of a rapid voiding of the excess
of the floods."
By these measures, Mr. Haupt believes,
the navigable channel will be permanently
deepened, the flood plane lowered, arable
land be reclaimed, the progressive height
ening of leveea be rendered unnecessary
and the discharge be retained a longer time
In lateral basins, where It will be a valu

. MISICIPAL PLAYGROUNDS.
Their laflaeaee la Reclaiming Way
ward Toatk.
Chicago Record-Herald.
The "night playground" for men is some
thing new in the way of remedies for crime
and vice In the submerged districts. The
efficacy of playgrounds as an agency for
reclaiming wayward youths and aa a deter
rent against Juvenile vice haa been demon
strated so thoroughly that cities do not
hesitate to make liberal appropriations for
their establishment and maintenance, par
ticularly In the thickly settled tenement dis
trict. But the playground has a larger mission
than the saving of wayward youngsters.
Chicago's experience with the eight munici
pal playgrounds already opened points to a
much larger field of usefulness for these
recreation places. Lighted by electricity at
nlglt, and supplied with facilities for ath
letic sports, they have proved a great at
traction for men and a foe to vagrancy, ho
bo Ism. and petty crimes. Men who are out
of work flock to these playground at night
to play base ball and to Indulge In other
robust pasttmea tnatead of apendlng the
evenings In saloons and gambling resorts.
An Illustration of the popularity and use
fulness of these playgrounda la afforded by
tha Webster grounds at Thirty-third street
and Went worth avenue, which haa a "club
house" and a one-fifth mile cinder running
track. The record for attendance was es
tablished by the Webster last month, dur
ing which 12.150 persons took advantage
of Its opportunities for healthful sport. The
police report a marked decrease In petty
crimes and saloon patronage In the neigh
borhood of these playgrounds.
Crime In children has been fitly charac
terised as "misdirected energy.' While this
definition may not fit the crimes of adulta.
It Is true that the Instinct for play and
recreation Is Just aa strong In grown-ups as
hi children, and the more opportunities that
are provided by the city for both to Indulge
their love of play the fewer the crimes and
minor offenses agalnat civic order.

A determined suitor has now found a new

purposes, according- to the Parte corre

lady was willing, but her parenta were
obdurate. He pretended to give up hop
and be reconciled to tha Idea of being
merely a friend of the family, and he took
out the girl and her father for an auto
mobile drive to Havre. At a dangerous
part of the road he suddenly put on the
fourth speed, and tha car sprang away at a
terrific rate. The girl aat still and showed
no fear, but her terrified father ahouted
to th man who wanted to be hi aon-in law j

your daughter," waa all the motorist re
plied. Still th car tore along, and if any
obstacle had appeared in th road at least
three fatalitlea would have occurred. "Stop!
W shall all be killed!" th girl father
continued to cry. "Most certainly w
shall," said th determined young man,
grimly. "If you don't consent at one X
am rolng to send the machine Into th
ditch, and at this rate that means quick
death." As he spoke he Imparted violent
lurches from aid to side to th car. "I
consent, I consent!" gaaped th new van

slowed down, and the rest of th journey
waa done at a steady touring pace. But
