HOSPITAL WILL BE WONDERLAND FOR POOR KIDS Carroll’s Nephew Appeals for Funds to Build Memorial to Writer. BV HENRY T. RUSSEI.L I nitfil frtH Stfff Orrtnondrnl LONDON. May 6—A real-life Wonderland for slum children is being planned by Lewi* Carroll's nephew. Professor B J. Colling* wood, to commemorate the centenary of nis distinguished uncle, the author of “Alice in Wonderland." At the instance of Professor Collingwood. an attempt is being made to interest society here in a plan to builr' a Leals Carroll ward for children. Everything in the waid. from walls to beds, is to be decorated by great artists with illustrations of “Alice in Wonderland." Appeal Is Circulated The following appeal, written by Professor Collingwood. is being circulated to arouse interest in the plan: Children never should be ill, said Alice. ‘ ‘And they wouldn't be, if they didn’t cat me,' said the lobster. " I’m just as unwholesome as you.' the walrus broke in, but I’ve never been eaten.’ ’ Well, I'm not surprised,' snapped th • lobster. ' And why aren't you?' asked the walrus in a very threatening voice. • Alice felt that it would be wise to --peak before any one had a chance of replying. But children are ill who don't •e< lobsters or walruses,’ she said, ‘and there ought to be some lovely place where they would be made well again.’ ' Build a hospital at once.” aeiearned the queen On with the beds, or off with your heads." Aid Is Offered But who can build it?’ asked Alice. I ran promise you a tile,’ said the Mad Hatter. I've got one Irrse. you know,' he added confidentially. And I ran makp beautiful soup.' the Mock Turtle put. in. Soup of the evening, beautiful soup: and it will do simply splendidly for mort*r: But what about the beds?’ • *ked Alice. 'We mustn t forget the Queen’s suggestion.’ Who said beds?* squeaked the ponrmouse, waking up with a start. •Nobody can make beds as well as I can, or sleep In them as soundly.' And he went to sleep again. How kind you all are! exclaimed Ahoe. But you know it will cost e'er so much money, hundreds and thousands of pounds. I'm so afraid we shall never be able to get it; and I do so want the sick children to get well again . . . they were meant to be happ>.’ “Tears began to fill her eyes, and she turned away to hide them “ ‘Oh. don’t cry,' begged the Walrus, and wept like anything. “ ‘Excuse me,’ gulped the Carpenter as he shed a bitter tear. “The White Rabbit sniffed loudly. “ Dear me,’ it said. T must have eaught another cold.'” “Gradually the animals fade away,” concludes the appeal, “until even the grin of the Cheshire Cat disappears. Everything is silent save for the murmur of the wheels of time as the years roll slowly by. But at length the silence is broken by the voices of workmen and the •ound of hammer and saw. “Those who knew Alice are building a wonderland for children where pain will be lost in happiness. and tears in laughter. And they are doing this because Alice was a child, and because they loved her.' MRS. GINEVRA KIRKMAN . IS CLAIMED BY DEATH B'lm Saturday for Prominent Dry and Church Worker.

Decrease of 230 in number of Indianapolis pupils attending public and parochial school and students in colleges and universities is shown in the annual enumeration report today of W. A. Hacker, assistant superintendent of city schools. Registration in all educational institutions this year is 83,583, as compared to 83,686 last year. The school city last year received approximately $2.36 a pupil from the state, whereas formerly $5 was received. The apportionment was reduced because of state school aid given counties in southern Indiana.

100 NEGROES TO PLAY ‘DANIEL IN i THE LIONS' DEN' Dusky Gladiators Cast as Arena Warriors in Paris Spectacle. BY WALLACE CARROLL I'nlted Press Staff Cerreseondent PARIS. May 6 —One hundred Negro Daniels, armed with shields and spears, will be thrown into an arena with 100 Sudanese lions Sunday to give Parisians their latest i thrill. The stunt has been advertised as a "lion hunt” by Its promoter, an American, Jeff Dickson, but whether the lions would be the hunted or hunters was not quite clear today. Dickson gathered his 100 Negroes j from the Sudan, and he expects this to appeal to the tender sentiment of the Sudanese lions. Just to make certain that the lions will not get off their customj ary horse meat diet, however, he will

i have six expert llon-Umeni on hand, ready to play Androcles. To make the lions and Negroes feel at home during the show. Dickson has transformed the hockey rink at his Palais des Sports into a setting reminiscent of the Sudanese wilderness. There are streams where the blasts can slake their thrist- and trees which the dusky hunters can climb if need be. After the Negroes have appeared on the scene, a small band of white hunters will arrive in automobiles, equipped with cAtepillar treads. Just as the blacks are about to ' annihilate the whites, an airplane will be heard overhead and more whites will drop by parachute, bringing machine guns and ammunition. At least, that is what Dickson promises. At this critical juncture, he will bring on the lions. I originally intended to stage a Roman circus, complete with glad- ; iators, chariots and wild beasts," Dickson said, “but I turned thumbs i down on the idea when I learned i that I could buy 100 well-behaved lions from a stranded circus for $25 a head.” • Dickson expects his show to run twenty-one days in Paris. If enough of his performers sur- ! vive, he then will take the troupe to the United States and give his * first performance in Atlantic City late in July.
