Last week the one hundredth
anniversary of the birth of Ed
gar Allen Poe was observed. In
honoring this matchless monarch
of the realm of rhyme, Arkansas
was also honored by the students
of the University Of Virginia
reading poem written by Fay
Hampstead of Little r k.
Hempstead's poem, "In Memory
OF Poe," is gem both of thought
and expression. No man ever
put 50 much into the vast treas
ure house of literature as Poe;
no sweeter spirit ever touched
the chords Of human feeling. No
man was ever more cruelty neg
lected while he lived; no man
ever possessed a more radiant
intellect. The story Of his life is
the saddest of records. The
fruirage Of his marvellous mind is
not equaled in the whole range
Of English literature, Denied by
relentless late Of ever gaining. IT,
tie TO a foot Of earth in the iielC
where Edgar Poe labored, w
shall ever be a silent and un'
known devotee at the shrine o.
literature and the great men 0,
letters. Thoughts like these
will perhaps not interest the av.
erage reader, but let US quote
one stanza Of Hampstead while
we are so far out AT sea: "The
burst Of Genius, weird and fine;
the flash Of Fancy wild and free
curbed down by direst Poverty
or strangled by tho demon
Wine" That expresses tho life
of Poe, and q gust Of pity and
sadness swept over US as we reac

PORTABLE SHOWER BATHS
How the Children of Batmores Tenement District Are
 Kept Cool and Clean During the Hot Months

during the ten or twelve days of it's existence. A similar plan could be worked out for three or four summer months in many southern cities.
 The Baltimore Bath Commission de- cided, however. to erect a more sub stantial 'corner-lot bath" and this past spring they have constructed and cold water. These baths were built as a slender wooden shell GOV cred with galvanized iron. The inter for was divided into seven compart- ments about eight feet long by three and one-half feet wide, each of which was subdivided so that with entire privacy the bather had a small room in which to dress and undress and a second compartment in which to take his shower.
 The hot water was obtained from a small coal stove with a water jacket and a fifty gallon tank. all placed in a small leanto adjoining the main build ing.
 Two of these portable shower baths were built, carried to the crowded sec tions' of the city and set up on vacant corner lots, where they are now in use.
 The success of the plan, was imme- diate. The patronage of each house on warm days amounts to about 400. On two days a week only women and girls are admitted and $50 to 400 avail them selves of the opportunity for bath. On the women's days matrons are in charge of the houses.
 The Baltimore commissioners believe that these baths,, whether in tents or galvanized iron houses, will prove of especial service in playgrounds where connection with city water may be made. and also in those cities which are not prepared to spend S25,- baths. These cheaper showers could be built sufficiently tight to withstand the colder weather and then at a mod crate expense so constructed as to furnish baths all the year round in many places.
 The writer will be glad to send plans and building directions to any who may be interested.

 eff a city cannot bring it's boys to a shower bath, why not bring a show CT bath to the boys" That was the reasoning of the Baltimore Public Bath Commission when they planned last spring to ''flush the youngsters as well as the streets. And so on an open lot in a congested residential section near the docks a tent, four teen by twenty feet was set up. It was divided by muslin into three Sec- tfons, office and towel room, waiting room and dressing room where on hooks were set. There was a substan- tial wooden floor.
 The bathroom proper occupied about eight by twelve feet along the side of the tent and screened from the street by a strip of canvas. Here was erected a rough wooden frame carry ing water pipes and four shower heads regulated by valve within the reach of each bather. The. floor of this bath ing sections had open spaces through which the water drained to the nearby street gutter. The water supply was obtained from the city department which permitted the commissioners to tap the street main.
 The entire plant, including rent of two fourteen by twenty feet tents for a month, purchase of lumber for floors in. dressing room and shower room, laying of floors, the making of water connections, and all the labor for con- struction amounted to about $50. The maintenance for one week, including two men as managers, one in the office and one in the shower room, cost about fxr rv- i've q Ia
 On the first afternoon, seventy-fve boys and men used the baths and on the following day 173. This tent bath accommodated about 800 men and boys
