Somebody Forgot the Danger Signal with

The other day, when it was blowing
great guns and showing omnibuses and
hat ricks, and the broadway crowd
was struggling to maintain its precari-
GUS footing and at the same time edge
along toward home, a disorganized
heap of clothes was shot out of bar
room door, and skimming the snowy
surface of the sidewalk, carried down
three pedestrians. From out the bupdls
of clothes man unexpectedly
matcrialized, and it would have been
difficult to tell from the face of that
man and from the appearance Of the
surprised people who were thus uncer-
enormously bowled down with him,
which of the four was the most aston
ished and angry. But the ludicrous ap-
peared to strike the bum first-pos-
sibly because he was more accustomed
to this sort of eXercise-and he shook
the snow out of his neck and grinned
What do you mean, sir?" yelled the
first man to recover. caressing a
sprained knee and looking around upon
the gathering crowd; 'what do you
mean, sir, coming out here in that sort
of fashion,"
I've half notion to kick you, sir.'
cried another man, picking his hat out
of the snowdrift and slapping it across
his leg.

These douches will supply hot, cold or

fast as il is used by a spacious drain
pipe. The idea is not new one. but
it is n good one. and wherever II has
been adopted the result has been graft
flying. There are three houses in Lon
don. recently completed. supplied with
this method of bathing. and there il
said to be one in Philadelphia.
II is claimed for the rain bath that il
is in every way superior to the method
we have known since civilization be-
gan. and this has been proven in many
public institutions. The first one ever
built in America was put in the New
York Juvenile asylum. The Demilt
dispcnsary has them, and so has the
btthtnk tfttted w tnt
Baron Hirsch fund at Henry and Mar
llet streets. One of the largest rain
baths in the country is now in course
of construction in the state hospital
for the insane, at Utica, and it Is pre-
dicted that within very few years all
prisons and hospitals will have adopted
| the system.
The most enthusiastic advocate of
the rain bath Is William Paul Gerhard,
who has made study of its advan-
tages. In the first place, he says that
it requires less space in the planning
of a bathhouse. 1t consumes less time
in application, the body of the bather
| does not come in contact with soiled
water. the mechanical and tonic effect
of the descending stream is unques-

effects are greater than in bathtub,

Woman Question Again.

To the Editor of tie intciligenccr.

A Formal Request for Its Immediate
Abolishmeut.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2l.-A formal re.
quest to abolish the Afro.American
bureau of organization of the Democrat
10 committee ia made in a communica-
tion addressed today to Senator Faulk-
aer, chairman of the committee. by III.
G. G. Astwood, chairman OF the Negro
Democratic league. Chairman Astwood,
N urging immediate action. says there
20 nothing to be accomplished by the
bureau; he recounts its assessment let
ters now under investigation by the
ivil service commission, and character
.zes It's methods as improper. He states
the work of the league covers all the
needs OF the coored voters of the coun-
try, and that though appreciating the
recognition of negro as the head OF the
bureau OF the committee, there is no
reason for the existence of the bureau.
The action is the result OF instructions
given by President Taylor and Chairman
Astwood at the league convention at
indianapolis. Senator Faulkner, chair
man of the Democratic congressional
campaign committee, said today that
very good and sufficient reasons must be
produced before the bureau will be abol-
iehed, but that it has no power to col
lect contributions.
