Cities of Alameda
OAKLAND, June 27.— Mrs. Cora E.
Jones, president of Alaiheda dis
trict, Federation of "Women's
Clubs, has called a meeting of her
executive board for Tuesday afternoon
in the rooms of the Oakland club"Mn
Pythian castle. The gathering prom
ises to be one of unusual importance
and interest to the clubwomen of the
district. Plans for Mhe .new year will
be discussed and work outlined. The
appointment of the chairmen for the
various activities which are represent-
Ed, by the district. will, be a significant
event of the session. Eleven women
will be chosen from the* clubs as lead
ers, the departments of, work being
art, civics, . club extension, clubhouse
loan fund, education, forestry, history
and landmarks, household economics,
literature, philanthropy, reciprocity.
Those having a place on the district
board.' are: President, Mrs. Cora E.

C- Allen; .corresponding secrewiry, Mrs.
R. D. Holmes; treasurer, Mrs. L. L.
Gilloughby; auditors, Mrs. J. C. l^ynch,
Mrs. S. S. Sargent.
The public playgrounds which, were
opened a week ago are the outgrowth
of the clubwomen's effort. In the
Tompkins school, > where for several
years the Oakland club conducted a
six weeks* playground throughout the
summer, 450 children have been regis
tered for the session, the Prescott
school grounds following close with an
enrollment of- 400 little folk. Two
trained workers in each department
under a superintendent have been kept
busy answe*ring .the demands of : the
children' .and mafntaining order," but
the -small, students, of play have been
so engaged~in having a happy time
that they have no time to be mischiev
ous. The work is being conducted by
the . municipal playground commission
recently appointed •by Mayor Mott ,and
is making a large demand on the in
terest of the public -officials. To the
splendid initiation of Mayor Mott is
due the organization- of this important
addition to Oakland's municipal ac
tivities. The superintendent and teach
ers made their first report to the com
mission Friday, when the members met
in executive session^ The men of the
council have bgen* surprised at the
scope and .result of the work and prob
ably will provide more liberally in the
budget which is to be. made up next
month. • /- ;-

for a gymnasium, which for. some time

was wild, but graceful and fascinating.

went with a snap. This excellent team
got all there was out of it.
The "Dandy Dancing . Dandies." so
called, but in real life the Ward broth
ers, were popular In a song and dance
skit that was cleverly manipulated.

gifted company of artists, presented a
hilarious farce comedy entitled "The
Man from Mexico,"" which kept the audi
ence in an uproar of mirth from start
to finish. Unusually well selected mo
tion pictures rounded out the program.
