MUNICIPAL BATHS,
Thirty-Six American Cities Have
These Helps to Health.
From the Engineering News.


Within the past few years a number OF
municipalities in this country have estab-
lished all-the-year-round municipal bath
houses, while others have added to the num-
Der of open bathing or swimming places.
which, for some years past, have been
maintained during the summer months. In
formation collected shows that thirty-six
cities and towns with 1900 population and
upward by the United States census of
1900 now have either all-the-year or sum-
mer public baths These places are as fol-
lows: Boston, Brookline, Cambridge, Ded-
nam, Holyoke. Newburyport Quincy
Springfield, WATERFOWL, Worcester Mass
providence. r. l.; Hartford. Conn; Al
bany, Buffalo, New York, Rochester SYRIA
cuse, Troy, Utica, n. Y; Hoboken, New
ark, n. J.; Homestead, Philadelphia. Pa.
wilmington; Del; Baltimore, Md. Green
wood, s. c.; Newman, Savannah Ga
Cleveland, Ohio; Muskegon, Mich; Chi,
cago, Ill. Milwaukee, Wis; Des MONIES
Iowa; Crookston, st. Paul, Mimi; San
Jose, Cal.
The thirty-six places in question are dis
tributed over sixteen states, but Massachu-
sets has ten and New York seven of these
cities and towns. Most of the other states
are represented by enc municipality only
outside of the states of Massa chusetts and
New York most of the public baths are
open only in the summer. and that is true
Of some of the places in Massachusetts, 1t
is known that Newark, Chicago and St
Paul have all-the-year bath houses
In 1895 the legislature of New York
passed an act which permits any munich
palities of that state to establish all-the-
year baths, and makes il compulsory for
cities OF 10000 inhabitants and over to
do so.
Municipal baths. often combined with
public wash houses or laundries are be-
coming more and more common i'm Eng
land, and tire signs of the times are that
they will rapidly gain popular favor in this
country. The laundry feature will. nat
urally, gain ground much more slowly than
the baths. Thus far il has not been intro
duced in the United States further than TO
make provision for washing the personal
clothing of the bathers. Drying closets are
also provided. so an unfortunate man with
no change of clothing may be insured of
clean underclothes to put on after his
bath.

NO LEGAL KNOWLEDGE.
Are Women Too Indolent to Learn
the Law?

From the NV York Tribune.
compulsory legal education law for
women was the suggestion of Miss Harriet
A keyser at a meeting of the Legislative
League in the Tuxedo. Miss Keyser de-
plored the ignorance of women regarding
their own standing Men as well as women
she has found sadly wanting in knowledge
where wills are concerned. and believed
that natural Incidence is at the bottom of
it, although she admitted that everything
about the law is tiresome. One woman
said the lawyers do not know IL ALL She
never feels safe on a legal question until
she has consulted at least thirteen mem
bers of the bar.
Mrs Lille Devereaux Blake, who pre-
sided, said that there are still twenty five
states in which women have no right to
their own children. Illinois and Connecti-
cut have within year or So been added
to the number of those where the mother
owns her child. Mrs. Blake believed that
the root and groundwork of woman's op-
preston it existed fifty years and mere
ago was the eating of the historic apple
by Eve.

magistrate of the republic began life as a
