INTERIOR BUILDINGS GVEN HIGH PRAISE Mrs. Votaw, After. Inspec- tion, Declares Sanitary Conditions Excellent. Commending tha Department of the Thterlor for its general efiiciency in Xeeping the corridors and rooms clean and airy, Mrs. Carolyn Harding Votaw declares in a report made public yesterday from the United States Public Health Service that “tsere is Rota government department that of - fers such mental, physical and u lifting attractions as the Interior. Mrs. Votaw made a complete survey of the Interior Department building with regard to sanitation, health and comfort of employees and working conditions at the request of Hubert Work, Secretary of the Interior. “Regular_inspections are made by the medical and sanitary officer of the department,” Mrs. Votaw's report said, “and as a result of his work there are no cleaner, neater corridors, file rooms, mail rooms, etc., in the city of \Washington.™ Work of the employes in the In- ilding, at Highteenth and with comparatively few ex- is performed under ideal conditions, the report declares, al- though-1ack of sufficient awnings is | keenly felt in the building. : Patent Office Crowded. H Overerowding ent through- out the Pate where about 1,150 employes work. ecords are stacked in the corridors and in every .available space, and thoush kept neat the fact stares face that more space is needed. ! Mrs. Votaw observed t althoush | a good emergency room is located in | the building many of the employes; robably do not know of its existence. “The amount of absence on account of | o in the sickness at the Patent Office,” Mrs. Votaw added, “should be commended. | It seems to be illustrative of how ab- | sence on account ckness may be | kept low when it is understood by the employes that indiscriminate leave- taking stands against the efficiency rec- ord of the employe " She submitted a | chart showing that the daily average of employes on sick leave in the en- tire Interior Department is much lower than the entire average in other de- partments Mrs. Votaw recommended work of the medical officer partment be broadcned to study of absence on account of sick- ness, not because the amount of ab- sence is exorbitant, but becauee it is felt that with but little additional or- ganization and work the value of the organization for a medical industriai service already existing could be reaily | appreciated. She also recommends that a full-time registered nurse be placed on duty in the Patent Office and in the Pension Office, and that the doctor have a nurse to assist him in the Interior Building. that the DRIVER KILLS MDfHER.
