No Decrease in Famine. “The famine is not decreasing. Sec- retary Hoover's organization cannot embrace all the stricken territories in { Russia.

With the detention here of Walter J, Caswell, thirty-one, who gives his alldress .as Fresno, Calif., in connec- worthless $200 check to Hylus Wheeler, manager of a downtown hotel, police believe they will be able to clear up 2 number of bad check cases in various cities. Caswell is being held at the first police precinst station, while his wife Edna, twenty years; his young baby {and sister Catherine, twenty-one { years, are being detained at the house {of detention. John F. Fry, thirty-one | years, who accompanied the trio from Philadelphla to this city, and who | disclaims knowledge of the check in- cidents, has been released. When questioned by the women's | bureau, the police say, a.checkbook | was discovered in Mrs. Caswell's hair. | At police headquarters Caswell told Inspector Clifford L.

After several hours' grilling by - Inspector Grant and Detectives O'Brien and Livingston, Caswell, the officers said, admitted 'that he had passed worthless checksin many places drawn on the First National Bank of Detroit.. . . A telegram _received from Detroit Stated that Caswell was wanted in numerous cities throughout the coun- try.

W. P. Baker, Medical Corps, United States Army, who has been actively engag- ed in that work for several months under the direction of Col. Sherrill, the engineer officer in charge. “The present system of having a laboratory officer from the Army Medicul School detailed to that duty,” he says, “scems to be excellent, and it is hoped that this activity may be permanently retained as one of the activities of the Army Medical School. The uzdvantages to the sanitary in- spector are that he has already entree into the extensive luboratory facili- ties of the varioys departments at the school for food-handler, water and miscellaneous anaiysis, and that the staff of the laboratory service is vir- tually a consulting board of special- ists to whom he has ready access for conference. The advantages to the school are that some practical method for demonstration and teaching pur- poses is available locally, that this officer may act as instructor in ap- plied sanitation and that incidentally the schuol receives occasional men- tion of its value to the general public of the District. 1t is hoped that in time to come the Medical Corps may have representation along with the Engineer Corps on the local water supply and sewage disposal of the District of Columbia.” List of Activities. Activities of the sanitary inspector nclude inspection of bathing beaches, refreshment stands and eating places and springs, groves, disposal of rubbish and waste, lixis, | varying intervals, of the public build- cafe some of which meals are served to more than food-handling examinations have been made of the personnel employed at those places. Maj. Baker says that the water at the tidal basin bathing beach is chlo- rinated just beyond the life lines continuous circult to and fro syachro- nous with bathing Hours. In the course of a dsy between 600 and 800 pounds of chlorine are injected, which maintains a concentration of free chlorine on the beach of between .02 and .08 part per million. This reduces the total count from more than 500,000 to less than 100 bacteria per c.c., with only occasional bacilli colo in 10-c.c. portions. Samples are taken ‘each day for bacteriological and free chlorine anzlysis. A high standard of sanitation of the bathouses is maintained. Simijlar treatment has been given the waters of Rock Creek' Park, In which there are several bathing pools for children, and “‘until recently,” MaJ. Baker says, the force has been able to control ‘the dangerous pollution that exists in the raw water, due to| sewage from suburban towns. The natural springs in Rock Creek Park have been closed in with stone and concrete to prevent their pollution and a small efluent pipe is protected at the outlet from the mouth of the drinker by an overlapping ledge of rock.
