DR.. HUDSON CRIES
FOR LARGER POOLS
Hundreds Turned Away on
Fine June Day.

With his eyes in a fine frenzy rolling,
DR.. W. B. Hudson, superintendent Of the
municipal bathing pool, held his hands
aloft last night and cried: Give US,
give us more pools, for the youngsters
are crowding US to the limit"
He had just cause for his complaint.
for yesterday there dtved and splashed
and swan around in the pools, all at
one time, no less than rs little folks.
They were packed in the water almost
as tightly as the proverbial sardines.
The total attendance for the day was
but slightly under 1000, for the heat
brought the boys down from early morn
ing until nightfall.
DR.. Hudson was literally turning 'em
away before afternoon was reached.
Hundreds Of youngsters prayed and i'm
plored him for a dip. but the pools
were running at the limit Of their ca
pacity, and the standing room only
sign was out.
This is going to be a record-breaking
season." said DR.. Hudson, "and we need
Veral more pools. The sooner We get
them the better fer the city"
