WHY NOT HAVE HIGHWAY TO

1t must be a rude shock to the visi-
tor who comes to see his National
Capital and the historic spots in and
near it, to discover that the road be-
tween Washington and Mt. Vernon
is about as hopeless streak of rough
clay-or thick mud, according to the
weather-as he could find anywhere in
the country. The tourist from Iowa
or Colorado, or Florida, or any of the
other States would naturally expect
to find a magnificent highway con-

Washington Chamber of Commerce and

WASHINGTON TIMES BUREAU.

ANACOSllA, L. S-, MAI Id.
The Ketcham Public School. Fifteenth
street and Good Hope road, gave an
entertainment yesterday afternoon for
the parents and the school children of
this community in an effort to procure
funds to assist the Fairgrounds move
ment in the District. The assembly hall
contained fully 500 persons, who enjoyed
the sleight-of-hand acts and the ven-
triloquism of Eugene Hellman. During
the day the children attending the school
disposed of sweetmeats, ETC., and con-
siderable sum was raised in this way.
Dr. Hosmer NJ. johnson, the supervising
principal of the Ninth Division of the
public schools, was one Of the guests.
The program was carried out under
the direction Of Miss Gertrude A. Phil
lips, principal Of the Ketcham School,
who had the assistance of the teachers
staff of the building. General satisfac-
ton was expressed at the success at
tending the affair.
The warm weather 81 the last sew
eral DAYS has brought swimmers to
the Anacostia river and neighboring
places, and the youngsters, who make
up the majority of the bathers, have
been desporting themselves in the
water.
Down in the waters of oxon creek
bathers have given offense to resi-
dents Of that section and last evening
Capt. William T. Anderson, command
ing the Eleventh precinct, was called
upon to have a stop put to their con-
duct.
Soldiers of the District National
Guard, who have passed along the
roads near the rifle range at Congress
Heights following practice at the tar
gets, have been annoyed of late by
being made targets themselves for
volleys of stones, alleged to be thrown
by colored men and boys in that To-
cality. This has happened at dark.

FLAGRANT VIOLATIONS OF
HEALTH LAWS.

Prompt and vigorous action by the
Health Officer and the Corporation
Counsel is demanded in the case OF
violation of the health laws at st
AIMS Asylum for Infants, where TWEEN,
ty-four cases of measles have beer
discovered and where four deaths from
the disease have occurred.
The law requires physicians and
others in charge of persons who have
contagious diseases to report the ap'
pearance of the malady as soon az
they become aware Of it. 1t also de-
mands that persons suffering from
contagious diseases be isolated, and
that quarantine be established. The
District Health Officer says the first
knowledge his department had that
there was measles at st. AIMS was
received in a death report, in which
measles was given as the cause o.
death.
Violation of the health laws is fire
quently attributable to ignorance OF
the part of the parents or family o.
sick people, but this cannot be set W
as defense in the violations at st
AIMS Asylum, where a practicint
physician was treating the children
and where the head of the institution
must have known that contagious
disease should be reported and tha
the law requires the patients to b.
isolated.
The violation is of particular con
Germ to the public because st. Ann
is one of the private charitable insti
tutions that receives a subsidy from
the District. Twenty or thirty ward
of the District are cared for constant.
and the asylum gets an appropriation
of $1,000 a year from public funds
One of the four children who died wa
municipal ward, and four other
are among those now sick from tn
disease.

violate his "canon 'gainst self
slaughter" Certainly it darkened the
mind of the great Napoleon when, in
the first years of disappointment, he
stood irresolute on the banks of the
Seine. In the ebb of Scotland's for.
tunes it haunted the brooding mind OF
Bruce. But out of the silence came
the still, small voice which whispered:
Tears endure for a night, but JOY
cometh with the morning." And the
world was better and happier for that
they suffered and yet lived.
And that final touch with which our
correspondent makes his pathos sacred,
'the thought of a good mother who
loved an only child" Let him but re-
peat the words with soft and loving
lips-repeat them with the love and
softness which have belonged to
motherhood ever since that voice in
Ramah of Rachael weeping for her
children and refusing to be comforted
because they were not-and blush to
own that q thought of rashness should
grieve her, wherever her watchful
spirit may abide. Let him put into
practice the wise philosophy recon-
mended in such circumstances by Rous-
seau, and resolve to do one more
kindly deed before he goes to face his
Maker-though it be but to speak a
cheering word to some weary wayfarer
like himself who is ready to throw
his burden down. He will find a new
richness in the sunshine, a new hope
in his heart.

Scheme to Solve
Housing Evils.

washington needs the conversion OF
these blind alleys into streets, and
fair beginning has been made in that
respect.
In connection with this I would sug-
gest a measure, which would help the
housing conditions in Washington i'm
mensely, and also furnish a good rea-
son for the Government to use up
good sized appropriation in Washing
ton every year judiciously. and with
view Of benefiting all the people Of the
District.
believe that the Government should
spend a few million dollars every year
in erecting model dwellings for its eni-
ployes and for the working people In
general, and sell them or rent them TO
these people on long term leases
know of nothing that would solve the
housing question quicker and more
break up the real estate ring.
OF course, some of these suggestions
will be received with dertsion and dis
gust by the people in high places, and
particularly by those who profit by the
present condition. But I feel certain
that If the Government employees and
workingmen would have chance 10
express their opinions the great ma
jority would agree with me.
These reforms, of course, will not be
carried out in this Congress. and pos
sibly not even In the next. However,
they are sure to come. Sooner or later
the people Of the entire country Will de-
mand them.
Until then we will have to do the best
we can under the circumstances. I for
one shall make 1t my business to as
sist in every measure, which will spell
progress-be it great or httle-no mat
ter from what source 1t may originate.
1 also expect to Introduce good many
measures of that type myself, and ex-
pect to get the same open-minded con-
sideration.
