Seek Early Opening. Budget Director Lord explained that the new building for the Mount Pleasant branch library will be com- pleted by March 1. The 1926 budget | provides for a partial supply of| books and for attendants for the en-¢ tire fiscal year 1 0 appropria- tion was made for 1925 for books and running expen during any portion of the iscal year 1925 be- cause when the appropriations for the current fiscal year were made the date of completion of the building was problematical. Now it is clear that this building, on which about | $200.000 will have been spent, will shortly be completed. Tt is desired to oven this branch to the public by March 15, 1 ., and in order to accomplish this it will be necessary to provide sufficient funds for the ‘initial supply of books and periodica's, tozether with personnel and maintenance for three and one- half months, from March 15 to June| 30. It is estimated that it will require $15,000 for the initial supply of books and periodicals; $6(622 for minimum personnel, and $1,000 for maintenance. The estimate of $1,750 for the Bell- Deanwood Branch Library is for the purpose of furnishinz rooms specified in these school buildings for library | purposes, with necessary equipment. These schools are located in the ex- treme eastern section of the District, ‘where there are at present no library factlitls. Provision has been made in the 1926 budcret for the necessary as- sistant librarian, books and periodi- cals. made Increase is for the larg- spection divi- additional compensation Repairs Are Needed. The estimate of $7.000 is for the pur- pose of making urgently needed re- pairs to the roof and exterior and in- terior walls of the main library building. This building was con- structed about twenty years ago, and has not had extensive repair work done in that time. The roof has been in bad condition for some time, and has been patched and repatched. The hard rainstorms of December 30, 1924, emphasized the fact that it required thorough repairing and some replace- ments, and that temporary patches and repairs could not longer be de- pended upon to keep out the water The balance of the amount, $1,200, is 1o refmburse the contingent fund to this extent for the amount spent in replacing worn out and condemned boller tubes in the main heating| plant. The Southeastern branch library is also badly in need of interior repairs, such as pointing up and painting ceil- ings and walls Other items are: For judicial penses. $1,000; refunds toncous collections, $1,500; sewer sments and permit work, §125,000; collection and disposal of refuse, $35,000; sani- tary paper towels in public schools $1,000; furniture and fixtures for Western High School, $6,500; for the Columbia Institute for the Deaf, ex- public school buildings and various items are as fcllows: Inley Manual Training School site, $5,000; Western High School ad- dition. $32,500. Among the court items are: For the Police Court, $5,000; fees for jurors, Police Court, $20,000; support of con- victs, §20,600 Fund for Bathing Beach. Under the heading of charities and corrections the various appropriations asked are: Jail, $10,000; medical char- ities, $6,500; Board of Children's Guardians, for maintenance of feeble- minded children, $11,500; St. Eliza- beth's Hospital, $236,000.

Under 2 supplemental estimate for the fiscal year 1926 are the following: For improvement and care of pub lic grounds, $6,000, which is required for purification of water at the new bathhouse and beach on the west shore of the Tidal Basin.

New antitoxins to vanquish germ poisons will be discovered, these scientific experts | claim, Georgetown University proposes to erect a chemical laboratory which, while supplying needed facilities for the Arts and Science School, will at the same time contain a completely sepa- rate Institute of Chemigal-Medical Research, equipped with X1 modern facilities of apparatus and materials. Purpose Is Explained. Here eminent specialists, free from the burden of teaching and in the security of a comfortable living, can devote themselves to chemo-medical research in almost ideal conditions, to the end that human suffering may be relieved. Georgetown University has undertaken this duty, it is ex- plained by President Lyons, since it is agreed that the Nation must look to private institutions rather than to industrial or governmental labora- tories to perform it. Besides the general laboratories private laboratories for the heads of departments and their associates will be provided, so arranged as to lead to a central room where all may easily gather at a research round table for conference and exchange of ideas and experiences. workers in chemical therapy from other institutions will be provided with working guarters, where, because of the complete equipment, they may avold loss of valuable time in begin- ning work on their particular prob- lems. Georgetown University is under- stood to have wide support because location in Washington. There Washington a vast array of Government laboratories engaged on almost every type of scientific prob- lem. Employed therein are more than 7,000 scientists. The new research Institute will en- joy the advantages of close contact with these workers and make availa- ble for consultation their varied knewledge and experlence, besides eting the advice and aid of the shed foreign scientists and members of scientific associations who ‘nevitably come to the Nation's Capital. Libraries are Help. Washington also furnishes oppor- tunity for reference and research books. The various scientific libraries connected with the departmental la- boratories will supplement the Li- brary of Congress and the library of the Army and Navy Medical Museum —justly famed for its special collec- tion of the rare and most varied works on medicine—all available to Investigators. In such surroundings where medical research will find chemical equipment to attack its basic problems the Georgetown Uni- versity faculty, the American Chemi- cal Society and the sclentific leaders of the countfy confidently hope for success in their solution, Incidentally, Georgetown . Univer- sity is establishing in the Nation's Capital a fully equipped laberatory | and chemical center, with a trained staft of workers to offer to the Na- tion in any emergency of peace or war. —_— The Shenandoah Caverns of Vir- ginia and the Tunpanogos Caves in Utah are both being wired for elec- tric light, Electric lamps of from 100 to 150 watts are to be used, and when these underground places have | their electric illuminating equipment in order the sightseer will be able to see their beauties in safety and comforty lical | Institute, | and | Qualified | | | i i I | to | Aushers, he saia (during the T WANTS CITIZENS 10 CLEAN WALKS Hacker Urges Use of Garden Hose to Remove Dirt Left by Snowstorms.

CARS CRASH IN FOG. Three Slightly Injured Near Poto- mac Park Entrance. The murky fog whick d the District this morning played & leading part in an automobile ac dent at the Fourteenth street en- trance to P'otomac Park, wherein two machines were badly smashed and three persons slightly Injured. James D. Payne, driving a delivery truck of the Schneider Baking Co., was swinging south toward Potomac Park when an autemobile operated by Willlam W. Morrissette of Ros: mont, Va, was just exiting from the rk. The fog obscuréd vision of the drivers that both machines crashed almost head-on. Payne sus- tained @ broken leg and, with George H. Ritnour, occupant of the Virginia car, who sustained cuts and bruises about the face and body, was taken to Emergency Hospital for treatment Morrissctte was badly shaken up, but did not take hospital treatment. The accident was the only one of considerable importance to be re- ported to the police as the result of the fog. The fog itself was occasioned by the inland sweep of cool breezes and the admixture of their lower tem- perature with the milder air of the eastern part of the country. The fog blanket, according to Weather Bu- reau officials, covered the country from Southern New England to Vir- ginia, and brought to Washington the heaviest fog of the season. Forecaster Mitchell sald today would be the last 6f the pleasant weather for a while, since rain is scheduled for tonight and cooler weather is in the offing for the next few days.

Nine persons were taken to the dispensary when the Rocket reached the navy yard, but none was reported serlously injured. According to persons aboard the naval ferry, the Rockaway loomed out of the fog on the port side of the Rocket and was seen too late to avoid the collision. Naval officers de- clared the Rockaway was seen in time, however, for many passengers on the port side of the Rocket to scramble to another part of the ves- sel, thus avoiding serious injury when the naval ferry's lifeboat was {crushed and debris sprinkled on the deck.
