WORTHY CHARITIES
TO HOLD TAG DAY
Doctors Daughters and Chill
dren's Hospital to Ask
Public Aid

The Doctors Daughters and the Chill
drens hospital will have a joint ia g
day March 10. and it is hoped that
every one who is interested in these
charities will save their dimes for that
day. 1t is necessary that the Doctors
Daughters have more money to carry
on the work of caring for the worthy
poor during The coming year. The Chill
drens hospital is in need OF more
money for the building fund.
The Doctors Daughters, under the
leadership of Miss Susanna MtEwen,
have been the means of making life
happier for many of the city's unfor-
Inmates for a number of years and this
organizations calls for aid have been
few and far between. SO quietly has
their help been given that it's extent is
hardly realized. but were testimonials
called for a multitude would rise up to
call them blessed.
The building fund of the Children
hospital is the particular charity of so
many people that it hardly needs an
introduction to the public, but there are
still grea many dollars needed before
the big, sunny. CHEEKY. convenient
building which is so sorely required
for the sick babies of the poor can be
made a reality. There are no better
objects to be found than these two
charities.

Have you shot the chutes at the new
Lurline baths, Bush and Larkin streets,
the handsomest bathhouse in the United
States?
There is a plunge lao feet long and
65 feet in width to dive into, and the
water varies in depth from two to nine
and a half feet. The baths are modern
in every way. and situated in the heart
of the city. In all respects they meet
every requirement of the lover of nata-
torial sport.
Certain things are demanded by the
patrons of modern bathing pavilions-
The arrangements must be sanitary in
every way; the water must be warm
enough to be comfortable, and yet Suf1-
GENTLY cool to be fnvigorating, there
must be a depth of water to permit
free swimming, and shallower sections
to accommodate the young and inexpe-
rienced swimmer.
Housed in a building that for beauty
and Appropriateness of design is not
equaled by any similar structure in
America the Lurline baths more than
meet the demands of the most finical.
or the needs of the swimmer. The
plunge IS kept filled with salt water
drawn directly from the ocean from the
end of long pier at ocean beach. 1t
is filtered through a plant that cost
$4,000 to install. then passed through
the heater and conducted into the deep
end of the plunge. 1t passes out at the

Ranged around the plunge are two
chutes. one solely for the use of women
and children, and diving and spring
boards. Running across the big tank
and dividing it effectually into part
for the inexperienced or timid, and
large space for swimmers. is stout

constant eye on the bathers.
In addition to the big plunge there

shower in each tubroom. The parti-
tions are of cement, and the drainage

The reason for the fact that this ideal

found in a glance at its architecture
and construction, as well as at the
equipment. The baths is surrounded.

suggested by the shape and finish OF
the structure.

wide area of heavy glass in the roof
and in the evening clusters of electric
lights cast a bright glow over the
water. Around the sides of the tank
are pathways OF terrazzo marble, which
