Tents will be struck at Camp Harding. the boys trajning camp on the Conduit road near the rict line, at noon next Saturday, thus bringing to a close six weeks of successful operation. Saturday morn- ing the honors for the year will be announced, after which, -until the time for departure, the bo; will [duoxo their time to packfng kits iand to general camp-police duty. Already preparations for next year are’ well under way, and it is the hope of Capt. H. D. F. Long. the j commandant, that the enrollment will be more than trebled. Campfire Friday.. Friday night the boys will cele- brate the close of the camp with a rousing camp fire. 1, The camp this year is reported by | Capt. Long to have been an wn- questioned success. The fact that it is supplied with city water and a perfect system of sewerage and sani- tation had much to do with insuring the general health of the boys. There has not been a genuine case of sickness developed during the entire six weess. On the contrary.} imost of the boys showed a material {improvement in health and weight. ] The highest number of boys at the camp at any one time four. The smallness of this number {is attributed to the late start, which j was unavoidable because of the prior enrollments for Camp Meade. Improvements for Next Year. Next year it s proposed to have the camp thrown open for public inspec- tion two weeks before its opening day, which will be the Monday after the ‘closing of the public achools. It is .expected that seventy _screened tents, with board floors and electric lights in each, will then be ready for their occupants. Reservations for next year can be made through Capt. Long, at room 2, District building, during the fall or winter months. Next years cami will run for twelve weeks, and one of its new features will be a corps of instructors in English, American history, mathematics, French and Spanish, optional with the boys. Ar- rangements have been made also s thirty- camp will be farmed by a lessee, who will supply fresh garden vegetables for the camp. Ne Commereial Vesnture. Plans already have been prepared by Donn & Deming, local architects, for new halls for mess and for assembly, as ‘well as showers and toilet facilitles. Capt. Long desires especially to im- press upon the public that Camp Harding is in no sense a commercial venture, or conducted for financial It is a purely al- ic enterprise In behalf of the boys of Washington. As a matter of fact, this year it has proved a finan- cial loss. ADDS TWO NEW COURSES. Two new lines of study are opened up by the Georgetown School of For- eign Service this year, one for the diplomatic and consular service, and the other for steamship business.

The course will include studies in “Steamship Office Management” and “Steamship Operations,” by W. L. Bull, loaned by the Mallory Line to the Shipping Board, and a course in “Steamship Classifiation and Ele- ments of Construction” by A. H.

Since its opening to the public in 1919 it has proved one of the most popular institutions in the District and has furnished healthful recreation for a 1arge number of. people. (Col. Sherrill, the engineer officer in oharge, con siders it one of the most .important recreational .features under the orfice of public buildings and grounds. Will Accommbiiate 8,000. “Eath year' since bathing beach was installed,” Col :Sherrill states, “additions have been made to meet the continuous imcreases in demand, until now approximately 9,008 bathers can be taken care of each day without undue crowding. That result has been made possible only through the suc- cessful application of chlorine purifi- cation by means of the floating chlorine boat installed this summer. Previous to this year,- chlorination has been effected by means of al fixeq plant installed at the inlet gates. The objection to this was it was necessary to chlorinate the large mass of water passing into the basin, which made the cost quite high. Un- der the new system, the chlorination is largely limited to the water ac- tually used by the bathers, as the chlorine boat back and forth through this area several times each day. Recently- tésts by the public health service indicate that'the most of the baéteria are eliminated by this process. Whereas the Potpmac river water, before entering the basin, is highly contaminated, the water used by the bathers is entirely safe and free from dangerous germs. . Locker Charge Covered Coat. “One of the improvements ih ad- P | ministration made at the bathing beach this year, conststed in distrib- uting the cost of operation over the locker charge. Heretofore, the c of operation was paid largely by the limited number of bathers, who de- sired to rent sults. “Among the improvements planned for the coming winter are flooring the men’s and women's locker zooms with concrete, which will lary improve the sanitary condition, and improve- ments in the facilities afforded for handling sales to the public. Investi- gation will also be nMde as to the femsibility of providing bathing “at night by provision of spot light iflumi- nation of the bathing area. This.has not heretofore been undertaken on ac- eount of the danger involved and the'| unsatistactory conditions that .have attended bathing in the poorly illumi- nated area along the beach. Sanitary Inspection Provided. “Another improvement that will be effected next season will be a more thorough sanitary inspection of the bathing facilities in the basin and' in Rock Creek, by the sanitary inspector recently detailed for duty under this F Purification, Met . C. Swimmers. office. Maj. Baker, who has been as- signed to:that duty, has had extensive experience {n eanitary matters, having vecently had a tour of duty on sani- tary work in Poland. He will be charged with all matters relating to j the testing of the water and the sani- tary condition of foodstufts, aiso the sanitary inspection of looker rooms and_comfort stations. “During the early rrt of the sum- mer, the water condition in Rock Creek Park was such as to cause serious ap- prehension .to this office, and to maki it appear more ‘hnn ikely. that a! ;8awimming thersin would have to La forbidden in the Interést of health, but the automatic chlorihating plant which has been installed recently, has proved 80 successful as.to’ gl that the younger gemeration w ample swimming holes at their di posal next summer wi of contaminated wats LAW _COMMITTEE NAMED.
