SLOWLY RECEDING SCALE
OF PRICES.

Washington stocks TODAY were quite
active, and the volume of business re-
corded about equal to that of other
days during the present week. The chief
feature Of the marke. was a recession
in prices which seemed to affect nearly
all the active issues
Capital Traction bonds and Washing
ton Railway and Electric as went upon
record at current bid prices. Railway
common stock fell off a bit, selling from
4l9s to 407z. The preferred shares also
sold off a fraction on small purchases
Of the stock.

Washington Gas suffered in the de-
cline more, possibly, than any other
stock. At the start the bid price was
nearly a point lower than that of yes
terday, and the selling brought the
price quickly down to Il. where three
quotation lots OF the stock were sold.
Considerable OF the stock was offered
at prices above n, but no one would

Life Guards Are Expert
At night the beauty of the building

candescent lamps illuminate the inte-
rior and several thousand more out
line the structure on the outside.
Multi-colored globes set in the foun-
tans give a pretty effect as the water
pours over them.
Expert life guards watch over the
safety of the patrons, one or more
being on duty constantly. Those who
have been engaged for this service are
George Freeth, who made a name for
himself during the storm of last Win
ter. when he rescued seventeen Japan

has been in the life guard servic on
the various beaches of the south Pacific

HAMBURGER EMPLOYEES AT
"GET ACQUAINTED" PARTY
Sixty-five Persons Enjoy Dancing and
Entertainment at Home of
n. A. Kohl

A get acquainted party was the kind
to which about siXty-fiVe guests were
invited last night at the home of Mr..
and Mrs. II. A. KOHL 26l7 South Yer
mont avenue.
The lawn and porch of the pretty
residence were tastefully decorated
with japanese lanterns, the inside of
the house being draped in flags at every
nook and corner.
A get acquainted party is one at
which each of the guests is to become
as thoroughly acquainted with the
others as he or she possibly can, and
for that purpose each guest is called on
to tell the story of some chapter of his
OF her life, with the condition that the
point of the story must be turned
against the narrator himself, the idea
being that if each is willing to lay bare
some ludicrous fault of his own it will
not be long before a thorough ac-
ouaintanceship and intimacy spring
Up.
The guests were made up Of the em'
ployes of the various house furnishing
departments under the control of H. A.
Kou at the Hamburger store. Refresh
ments were served and dancing was
engaged in both inside the house and
on the porch.

Water Ever Fresh
One of the innovations of the new
enterprise is the eVer-changing stream
of fresh water which goes into the
swimming pools, assuring a clean bath
for every bather. 1t is estimated that
about 100000 gallons of water pour
into the plunge daily. Two ornamental
founts, one at each end of the build
ing, supply this flow, each discharging
500 gallons a minute.
The temperatures in the three pools
vary, that of the smaller or baby, pool
being five degrees warmer than the
others. and the lowest temperature of
any being five degrees warmer than
that of the ocean.
The baby pool is two feet deep at its
deepest point and graduates to six
inches, assuring perfect safety for the
younger children who may enter the
water. The deepest part of the tanks
is twelve feet and is the playground Of
high divers, many Of whom. reside at
the seaside resort.
In the laundry and drying depart
ment the establishment is unsurpassed
by any similar place in existence. Some
