Gymnastic Festival
The crowded condition of the Coliseum last Friday evening when thousands assembled to
see the drills of the school children calls attention to the need of an out-of-door place where affairs of this kind can be held. The crowd at the Coliseum Friday night was a menace to itself. The aisles and gangways were packed. The fire chief
had trouble in convincing persons of the danger of clogging means of exit. Roosevelt field and hill in Glen Miller park
afford an ideal place to stage festivals in which hundreds of children take part. It is an ideal place for large assemblies. The field could be leveled and would then give ample opportunity for the folk dances and drills of children, while rows and tiers of seats along the hillside would accommodate the thousands who attend. The city is badly in need of an amphitheatre of this kind. Other cities have taken the lead in providing suitable places for athletic exhibitions and -drills by school children. The Tacoma stadium, built in a gulch at the side of the high school is. one of the wonders of the Pacific coast. Municipal pride and municipal enterprise built the stadium. Richmond can easily convert Roosevelt field and hill into a stadium. The investment would be worth the expense. It would encourage more frequent exhibitions by children and would be an incentive for greater civic effort in promoting music and in obtaining lecturers to address the whole citizenship.

CITY PLANT VS. L. H. P. Editor Palladium If those people of his city who use light, heat and power :urrent had any civic pride or used a ittle horse sense, there would have jeen no need of Kleinknecht, Bavis ind company to take Junketing trips 0 Indianapolis to consult the state itilities commission with reference to he local plant. The people of Richmond (who are he stockholders in the municipal )lant) have about $500,000 tied up in he city plant, and yet a large number )f them are turning their own plant lown and patronizing a privately own?d plant. What would the people li ink of a man who owned a meat marcet who, whenever he wanted a piece or his own table, went to some other neat market and purchased the same nstead of using his own? Never were ruer words uttered than those uttered )y the immortal Shakespeare, when le said, "What fools these mortals be."

Prefers Auto Racing to Life in Trenches
TOT-POraATO Though his sympathies are enirely with the allies, J. Porporato, the Spaniard entered in the next Indianipolis 500-mi!e race as alternate Iriver of the Sunbeam team, is not jiving his favorites any active assistmce. Five-hundred mile racing, with ill its fault., has, in his opinion, cerain advantages over a bullet riddled rench. He may risk his neck at the vhcel 'of a racing car traveling 110 niles an hour, but dodging shrapnel s a little too much for him. Porpor:to, incidentally, is some driver, haviigf won the 1908 Targo Bologna, lands down.
