PUBLIC BATHING FACILITIES URGED Board of Trade Committee Cites Need of Municipal Provision for Residents. The need of hathing facilities for the people of the District and provisions for a edical Inspection room in all of the ew public school bulldings was nanimously recommended in a reso- ution adopted by the publio health ommlittee of the Washington Board 't Trade at a meeting yesterday. One of the plans proposed to pro- ide Washington adequate bathing acifitles was made by Dr. Percy ifickling, chairman of the committee, nd was supported by Dr. Harvey Wiley, vice chairman. Dr. Hickling's lan calls for the creation of a large inunicipal swimming pool near the two present pools in Potomac Park near the foot of Seventeenth street. He suggested, in addition to this large pool with lockers, tollets and seats for spectators of acquatic con- ests, that both of the present pools be utilized. One of these pools, he suggested, should be for small chil- iren and the other for beginners. Would Inclose Pools With Glass. He also suggested that these pools s Inclosed with a glass structure of he ‘“greenhouse type,” only with arger and thicker panes of glass In the Summer the glass windows ould be thrown back and in the Winter they could be closed so that the pool could be used the entire year. Dr. Wiley suggested that there should be "appropriate medical or 1ygenic inspection of all bathers as vell as properly flitered water in onnection with the pool. The water at the Tidal Basin, while t did not receive any official con- demnation by the committee, was dis- Approved by a number of persons as 2 place in which to bathe. Dr. Hick- ing quoted the statement of Public Health officers in reference to an *xamination of the water by saying t was “good sewage.” He referred 1o varfous tests made which did not sive a favorable report upon the con- ditlon of the water In the Tidal Basin, and was supported in this by Dr. Wiley, who said that his son had an ear infected from bathing In the Tidal Basin. Sees Acute Need of Action. “The need of bathing facilities in the District is acute, and we have been poorly supplied for many years at the Tidal Basin” sald Dr. Hick- ling, in explaining that his plan of a| municipal bathing pool was patterned largely on the public baths in Sutro Park, San Francisco. He also stated that even with the elimination of sewerage from Wash- ington and vicinity into Rock Creek it was found impossible to prevent that stream from infection because of the many miles of villages whose sewerage ultimately found its way nto the creek. The committee will recommend its plans at a full meeting of the Board of Trade. Those who were at the meeting in- oluded Dr. Percy Hickling, Dr. Har- vey Wiley, Dr. B. T. Woodward, Dr. R. W.

Priced according to size EDMONSTON & CO. (Incorporated) 1334 F Street ANDREW BETZ, Manager FOLKS | The first envoy which the republic of Greece has sent to this Capital, Dr. Charalambos T. Simopoulos, is one of the foremost diplomatists and statesmen in his country. Contrary to the usual pro- cedure of the European nations of selecting min- isters, he was most carefully trained for diplo- macy, taking the usual course of & complete classical education in Athens, and then studying the lan- guages and philos- ophy in the Uni- versity of Parls. The Greek Minister has spent 25 years in his chosen pro- fession, and has boxed the compass in the diplomatic sense since he re- celved his first commission, Wwhich was as attache to the Greek legation in Cairo, Egypt. He has served in almost every capital of importance in Europe and the East, and was Minister both at Parls and at Rome before belng transferred to Wash- ington. In London, where Dr. Simopoulos was stationed for three different periods, he was assoclated with that venerable of diplomatists In , Dr. John Gennadius, for 40 oy of Athens to the ames, and that during cisitudes through which the Hellenes people have passed. The Minister to Washington is therefore rtensely interested in the gift of this venerable statesman of a col- lection of rare and valuable books bearing on Greek history and art.| made to this Government under the | condition that a suitable building be erected to house these treasures This Government promptly accept- ed the gift and already the eminent architects of New York, Val Pelt and Thompson, are in Athens, and, in| affiliation with the American Classical | School there, are erecting a typical | Greek bullding, one story and a half, | with a wide Doric porch, such as| Plato and Aristotle paced in the gold- en days of Greece. It is known as the Gennadius Classical Library. The Minister is certain that this wonderful library and its treasures will prove a strong tle to draw the two peoples together and thus to in- terest Americans more generally not only in the glorious Greece of the past but in the virlle republic of modern times which is aiming to carry out the hallowed traditions. .

Advisers and Authorities on All Foot Troubles THE EVENING KING’S ILLNESS REVIVES' “SOMEWHERE IN FRANCE” Famous Date Line of War Time Appears in Effort to Protect Monarch’s Incognito. By the Associated Press. PARIS, March 20.—The seclusion of the British royal party’s trip across the country io the Mediterranean for King George's convalescence cruise has revived the once familiar war- time date line, “Somewhere in France.” The King asked that, because of his ill health, the strictest incognito be maintained, 8o he would not have to acknowledge greetings as the royal train sped through the various sta- tions en route, and the French au- thorities zealously guarded the train schedule from the public. The British Ambassador, it was | learned, boarded the train for a half hour during the trip, but it was an open secret that he simply rode with the sovereigns around the railroad beltline encircling Paris, the only route by which the train cculd 1e switched from the northern to the southern road. Before boarding the train at Calals, however, the King obligingly posed for the photogra- phers and movie men. The resulting plctures, published in the Paris pa- show him to be pers this morning, thinner. & | ARGONNE 16th and Col. Rd.
