SMALL BOY Is
IN his element
Summer Time Picture of
Enjoyment at the Bath
Houses
BATHERS ON THE INCREASE

The composite picture Of the small
boy in June would probably show a
youngster with dripping hair stuck fast
in struggling threads on his scalp,
globules of water running down his
face and back in devious directions and
garbed in what would appear to be the
upper part of two trouser legs, meager,
almost to danger. It would be a
''bathhouse boy" a boy as happy as a
June bug, emerging from the spray Of
the public bathhouse POOL, cool and
gleeful as q tadpole.
For despite the cool forenoons that
have made this June peculiar the
greater part of the population of VIII.
mington's Boyville is to be found al
some period of the dav in one Of the
citv's lighthouses in Brandywine and
Delamore Park. Splashing and shout
ing in these city Summer resorts" Of
Boyville. the small bov is oblivious or
all concerns of the outer world-of the
concerns of school particularly And
the clinl, of a golden eagle never gave
more delight to John d. Rockefeller or
to Mrs. Hetty Green than the splash Of
the bathhouse pool TO the small boy.
INCREASE OF BATHERS.
To the casual observer the bathhouse
patronage this year would not appear
to exceed that Of last year, but taking
the bathhouse Mt the foot of Jackson
street on the Brandywino as an exs
ample. there has been a wide difference.
The number Of bathers of the first
week in this month at this bathhouse
was 1904. while during ,he correspond.
ing week Of last year there were only
about 200 bathers for the same tine.
The number Of bathers using the pool
each day is registered by Il sort Of cap
stan at the entrance Of the bathhouse,
each hather turning Il as he enters and
registering. The bathhcuse opened as
usual on tho first day Of the month
and the registers at sll the bathhouses
show a large patronage since then. de-
spite the cool forenoons Of this month
The lighthouses apparently DO not ap-
peal to women as free institutions
there having been but seven women
bathers at the jackson street bathhouse
so far On the other hand, the houses
are very popular among the women on
paw Qd.S. lneIe naNlfB Feen 81 women

who have paid to use the pool on
women's days. Fifty four men and
boys have paid since the opening on
June /.
At no time so far has the patronage
been excessive az any of the houses,
and it is not vet fearel that the great
crowds will swamp the lighthouses as
they did last year on several occasions.
The Jackson street bathhouse has z
closets. but at one time last year the
building accommodated 250 bathers.
ACCIDENTS UNKNOWN.

lighthouses are quite unknown appeals

WASHINGTON, d. c.. June O-Plans
have been formulated to have the second

The Tennessee. the Washington, the
California and the South Dakota will each
take one Of the destroyers in tow. Vary
ing speeds up to eleven or twelve knots
iwll be tried. so as to determine how wei!
the smaller vessels stand the resulting
heavy swell.
On the cruise to Honolulu and Samoa
the destroyers will go most OF the way
under their own steam. but as fne cruis-
ing radius is estimated about two thousand
miles under rough weather the Navy De-
partment wishes TO experiment in having
them towed by the larger ships.

The addition of automobiles to
the vehicles of this city is pre-
senting a problem that has been
brought up before a great many
times. The owners of the autos
are more than careful and are
doing all they can to avoid
frightening teams, but in the
case of teams tied on Main street
it is tough proposition for the
autos to pass without casuing
some teams to break away from
the place where they are tied,
and run away. The root of the
trouble is in the tying of teams
on our main streets. On mark
ct days the main street is lined
on both sides with teams tied
to the posts provide by the mer
chants. Any team becoming
frightened would cause one of
the worst panics possible when
the closely packed condition is
considered and the coming of the
autos is making just such d pan
ic probable. We haye a great
deal of unused space back of
both blocks fronting on Main
street which can be used for the
farmers for hitching purposes.
If this space was made available
by the construction of strong
hitching racks, the farmers
would be a great deal more sure
Of finding their teams upon re
turning from shopping than un-
der the presentsystem. The city
council could help this move
ment by the passing of an ordi-
nance forbidding the leaving of
teams without drivers on the
main streets, thus not only doing
away with a chance for disaster
but also helping the appearance
OF the streets in taking away the
effect Of a small rural town.

water reservoir without forest
conservation we cannot have
a proper water supply. Not
only do SPAIN Syria and China
show the effects of deforestation
we need look no farther than
our own country. In one year
floods directly traceable to for
est destruction in the southern
Appalachian Mountains de-
stroyed several million dollars
worth of property. The quail
ity Of the adverse criticism in
the House of Representatives
last week may be gathered from
the following statement by Mr..
Mondell, of Wyoming:
'There are many other factors
affecting water conservation be-
sides forests, and in my opinion,
vast territory could and often
has fairly regular water flow
without forests; and, as far as
water flow is concerned, a terri
tory could in my opinion, get
along very we'll without any con-
siderable forests at all, if it
were not for the fact that we
need lumber and love trees.
The gentleman from Texas Mr..
Burlson looks Mortified. I am
not surprised at that, in view of
the vigorous and exaggerated
propaganda we have had on the
other side of the subject for a
long time. In my opinion, an
acre of well cultivated ground is
worth ten acres in woodland in
the conservation of water. In
my opinion, there is nothing
that conserves water like cult
waited areas"
However this be-and the
general opinion of we'll Informed
people will hardly coincide with
Mr.. Neutrality-suspicious. the con
servation Of water itself we can
not have sufficient supply fol

The republican party is at
last awaking to the fact that
tariff revision is inevitable and
are clam oring for its adoption as
a plank in the platform. The
same howl has gone up each
year until the party is again
safely in Office and then, what a
silence. But it is to be hoped
that the leaders Of the party in
congress will take the bull by
the horns apd work out some
method of tariff revision that
will accomplish the good in
tended without prscipitating the
panic which has frightened every
republican congress since tariff
reform has become question.

aided by private enterprise.
How shall those relations be ad-
justed? BY practically per-
petual and unrestricted grant of
rights of way and storage dam
privileges, say the greedy, as is
evident in the bills before Con.
gress. Mr.. Mondell, fore,
most critic of the Forest Service,
is the author Of one of them.
Such bills, if passed, would be a
blow at the Forest service AS
Mr.. Pinchot, the Forester, says:
They would deprive the Secre-
tary OF agriculture of power, now
enjoyed by him, to make regula,
tlons affecting rights of way.
Without such regulation the
rights granted would often con.
flict with the peoples interests.
Aside from these general grounds
the proposed measures leave no
power to control location, to in
sure safe construction, or to
protect timber. Such measures
simply intrench monopoly as rep
resented by large and wealthy
corporations with great financial
backing. The proposals is to
obtain for nothing privileges in
volving the monopolistic control
Of the daily life of our people to
an unparalleled degree. OF
course the Forest Service, al
ready providing for legitimate
uses of its forests, opposes any
measures looking toward unfair
special and private advantage. "
President Roosevelt agrees in
this, as may be gathered from
his Message to Congress fort
night ago:
I shall be obliged, hereafter,
in accordance with the policy
stated in a recent message, to
veto any water power bill which
does not provide for time limit
and for the right of the Presi-
dent or Secretary concerned to
fix and collect such a charge as
he may find to be just and reas.
enable in each case Outlook.
