Fatal Plunge on Chesapeake and
Ohio Prevented by IN
known Man.

Finding that the Chesapeake and
OHIO Railway track had been rendered
unsafe by washout extending over
more than 100 feet near Strawberry
Hill yesterday, an unknown man hur-
ried northward to flag the fast train
from the West due here at 2:45 o'clock,
Just as 1t came laundering along to-
ward the danger spot. Having thus rend-
cred public service he declined to give
his name, saying he had important
business at Barton Heights which re-
quired his attention. He went there.
The crew made an examination and
found that except for the warning

USING TOO MUCH WATER.
Meters to Regulate Wash Days in
the Southwest.

The old nanny and her wash tub are
costing the District too much water, says
Supt. W. w. Mcfarland of the water
department. and consequently 1000
meters are going to be placed in South
west Washington. Bids for these meters
will be opened at the District building
June u. and 1t is expected that to plug
the leak the District will have to spend
about $4,000.
The inspectorshave found that the new
fashioned method of washing clothes in
Southwest Washington is to put the dirty
linen in tub and turn on the water
leaving it run sometimes for two days
One inspector found that water from one
spigot had been running over a tub full Of
clothes for four days. The old-time meth
cd of using soap and a washing board
seems to have fallen into disuse among
washwomen Of the southwest section, to
the consequent high cost to the rest of
the District
When water meters are placed in a
wash womans house she will have to pay
for all waste. If she doesn't-then the
man comes with a key-and shuts off the
supply If the water rent is less than
$25 year the meters will be installed
at the expense of the District.
