DISTRICT SWIMMING POOLS
NEED MORE LIFE GUARDS
Young Bathers in Peril of Their Lives, Says Supt.
Hudson, Because of Insufficient Funds-The
Herald Will Receive Donations.

Scores Of Washington little sons who
frequent the municipal bathing pools are
in daily peril Of their lives, according to
DR.. w. B. Hudson. superintendent. be-
cause Congress has appropriated an IN
sufficient fund for the hiring of an ade-
quate number Of life guards The mea-
ger sum Of 5000 per annum has been
appropriated for the maintenance Of what
has become one Of the most popular pub
lic pleasure places in the District, and
unless that amount is augmented the pools
will be closed September /. rather than
September q, which usually finishes the
bathing season.
Handicapped by the crowds at the
pools. which are larger this year than
ever before, DR.. Hudson is conducting
main pool there are two life guards. who
are compelled to work all day.
One Guard n Volunteer.
At the middle pool there Is one guard,
and at the small pool is only a volunteer.
who is not obliged to stay at his post. At
least two more guards are necessary for
the safety Of the youthful bathers. Every
day there are a large number Of little
fellows at the pools who are learning to
swim, and constant vigilance is required.
Many times a day the life guards are
called into service to drag from the water
some little fellow who has got beyond his
depth and cannot swim.
The expenses of the pools are greater
than the amount provided to run them,
even as they are conducted now. In ad-
dition to the superintendent. the payroll
includes an assistant superintendent at
81 per day; three life guards. at sl.50 per
day; for key boys for the dressing rooms
at Is cents per day: two matrons. at 81
per day: two clerks. at 81 per day; one
laundress at so cents per day; one watch
man. at $50 per day. and two laborers at
so per day. The colored pools require
an assistant superintendent in charge at
s1.5o per day. clerk. at 81 per day. and
a life guard. at SIS per day. This brings
the total payroll to s22.25 per day.
DR.. Hudson, said last night that at the
present rate he cannot possibly keep the
pools open longer than September I. and
that $500 will be needed to run them TO
the close of the season. The solution 10
the problem offered by DR.. Hudson is the
passage Of a special act by Congress
authorizing the use OF the receipts for
bathing suits and towels. now turned
into the Treasury. for the maintenance
OF the pools.
Last year the receipts for the season
aggregating $500. and this year DR.. Hudson
estimates they WIN amount to 1900.

Swiss Dairy. 4O3 East Capitol street. said
last night that the prospect is becoming
worse daily. He said that he has been
compelled to raise the price of milk. and
that in SO doing he is making no profit
at all. The Swiss Dairy has contracts
for furnishing milk to the tuberculosis
Hospital, the Washington Asylum Hos
pitai. and the Arlington Hotel. and Mr.
Dade says that these patrons must be
served daily with the full quota Of
milk and cream, regardless Of the price
he is compelled to pay to secure It.
The dairymen say that rain will do
no good now. but that cool spell viii
reduce the demand. More milk In used
In summer than In winter, and because
OF the excessive heat this season the
demands have been much heavier.

MILK PRICES RAISED =
BY CAPITAL DAIRYMEN
Shortage of Supply Cannot Be Remedied by Rain
or Cooler Weather-Demand Is Great.

Practically all Of the dairymen In the
city have now raised the price of milk
tc cents a quart. as result of the
shortage of the product. caused by the
long drought in the milk producing dis
tricts. Conditions are SO far advanced
that nothing but a prolonged cool wave
throughout the eastern section of the
country Will relieve the situation.
There is no hay to feed cattle In the
absence Of good pastures, and the only
hope Of the farmers Is that the corn crop
win not be failure. This will not help
matters much. as corn is not considered
good feed for cows. The cows that for
merly gave three gallons OF milk a day
are now producing only about a gallon

Drunkard Not So Bad, Says BishoI
Hoss in Sermon.

Denouncing profanity and "censorious
evil-minded fault finding" Bishop E. E.
Hoss. of Nashville, Tenn, delivered a
stirring sermon yesterday morning at
Mount Vernon Place Methodist Episcops,
Church South.
Bishop Hoss said that the profane man
and the drunkard are universally looked
upon asSsinners, but that the evil-minded
fault finders was not so readily recog-
nized as a wrongdoer. He declared,
however, that he would rather be a
drunkard wallowing in the gutter than
slanderer.

describes "Rosalind At Redgate," the
dramatization Of Meredith Nichol-
sons most popular novel, which
comes to the Opera House in the near
future and if words Of some Of the
most prominent dramatic critics we
have are to be relied upon, the pnr-
veyor Of publicity has good cause
to SO call his play.
Mr.. Nicholson in this play, has
given us one Of the most charming
characters the stage has known. She
is a gentle old maiden lady whose
life has been given to others.
In a scene with Larry she says !:
ooh, Larry Donovan, when you are
as old as am you'll know how hard
life would be for us if we didn't have
the sunset and music to fill our last
years as we sit in the long twilight
with folded hands, waiting for the
