" dhe Ty COOLING PROCESS KEEPS BACTERIA LOWIND.C. MILK Vigilance of Health Body Re-' sults in Refrigeration on “ Dairy Farms. REGULATIONS EfiFORCED DESPITE MANY PROTESTS i i Officials Hold Washington's Milk. Supply at Present It Best in History. Vigilance on the part of the District Health Department in safeguarding| Washington's milk supply, especially | during the Summer, has resulted in the | installation of mechanical refrigerating apparatus on a large proportion of the Maryland and Virginia dairy farms supplying the local markets, Despite many complaints from dairy- men against regulations requiring that milk be cooled at a temperature of at least 50 degrees until it is received at | ‘Washington dairies, Health Department officials said there would be no let-up in the enforcement of those rules. " Public Health Paramount. ‘The health of the public, it was Pointed out, is far more important than | the inconvenience or the expense to ‘which many dairymen are being put in order to remain in the Washington trade. While the regulation will be en- forced throughout the year, it is all the more imperative to keep a close watch out during the warm Summer months, it was pointed out, if the high standard of Disgrict milk is to be maintained. Above a temperature of 50 degrees the bacteria content of the milk increases to an alarming degree. At 50 degrees or be- low, the germs are killed. For this rea- son, the District Health Department | has ordered that between 4 o'clock in | the morning and noon, the period be- | tween milking and delivery, the product must be maintained at a safe tem- perature. This means that dairymen wishing to continue in the Washing- ton trade must take measures to keep their product chilled until delivery. { The installation of cooling systems on | dairy farms is not compulsory in a legal | sense, health officials said, but it works that way commercially. Some of the | dairymen are looking for new markets | for their product, rather than go to the | expense of installing cooling systems, but one by one, it was said, these are coming into the Health Department to explain that they wish to get back on the list of approved dairy farms. Meeting D. C. Regulations. In some communities approximately 50 per cent of the dairy farms are| meeting the District regulations in this | respect. Rather than lose out in trade, ! it was believed a large majority of the | farms in time wil} adequately | equipped with cooling apparatus. Washington's milk supply at present | 18 the best in the city's history, health ! officials say, and every effort will be | made to maintain this high standard. As a result of the vigilance of in- spectors on their frequent visits to out- | lying dairy farms, it was reported that | the average temperature of milk is! about 40 degrees when it is shipped into the city. In many cases it is as low as 34 degrees. It is of interest to dairymen to keep down the bacteria content of their milk, it was said, owing to the bonuses they ‘would otherwise lose through their con- tracts with local dairies. If the average score of pasteurized and raw milk falls below 70 per cent, the bonus is withheld. temperature of the milk bears im- portantly on the general average of the score. DRIVER CONVICTED AS GUIDE IS FREED' Judge McMahon Promises Aid to| Police in Stamping Out Soliciting. A hack driver was convicted of so- MNeiting business on a public street and for not, remaining within five feet of his vehicle while it was in a stand, while a National City guide was freed of the | same charges, by Judge John P. Mc-| Mahon in Police Court yesterday. After sentencing George D. Taylor, hack driver, to pay a fine of $25 or serve ten days on the soliciting charge and to $10 or 10 days on the other one, the judge sald that there was entirely too much disregard for this law in the city, and that he would give his heartiest co- operation’to the police in an effort to stamp it out. N Roy Brown, a National City guide, was freed of the charges, as there are | no specific regulations regarding the actions of guides. Taylor and Brown ‘were arrested near the Peace Monument on August 2 by Policeman W. L. Pasour of the Traffic Bureau. Famniy e COL. FORD TO TOUR.

Dirigible for Which He Has Waited Seven Years. Specifications for Use of Non- Inflammable and Inflam- mable Gas. \ Dr. Hugo Eckener of Friedrichshafen- on-the-Bodensee, Germany, who Is about to make the longest trip ever made in an airship, around the world, after having made a record flight across the Atlantic in his Graf Zeppelin, was granted a patent here yesterday on this dirigible for which he has been weiting for seven years, The patent is for a rigid airship with separate gas cells and the petition was filed in Germany. September 18, 1922, and in the United States Patent Office November 27,°1922. The patent has been assigned to Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Ge- sellschaft mit Beschrankter Haftung, Friedrichshafen.

Senator Keyes, who has been one of | the leading advocates of carrying out | the Plaza improvement, is watching ' with gratification the “work now in| progress of tearing down one group of | the wartime dormitories standing in the way of the park project. Although some of the dormitories nearest the railroad terminal will be left standing for the time being, it will be possible to start landscape treatment of the squares at the south end of the Plaza as soon as Congress makes an appropriation for that purpose. | The last Congress authorized the en- | tire project and placed the limit of cost at slightly less than $5,000,000, a large part of which will be needed to acquire additional land to the west of the original Plaza area to conform to the revised plans finally ratified. The purpose of enlarging the Plaza is to have the proposed diagonal boulevard from Union Station meet Pennsylvania avenue between Second and Third streets instead of at Peace Monument, as originally suggested.

Bocock, superintendent of the hospital, and other officials of the in- stitution had not been notified to at- tend the meeting. Theflrurpose of the session, it was explained, is to decide whether the charges are serious enough to justify an investigation. If an in- quiry is ordered, Dr. Bocock, physicians, internes and nurses will be summoned before the board. Judge Sellers also may be requested to appear to reit- erate her recent charges. ‘Thus far, the board, it was pointed out, has nothing official before it to consider.
