FEW TAKE DAILY BATHS.
American Women Ahead of English.
says London Doctor.

special Cob'- Despo,ch to TnE ST.
LONDON. July 3l.-Dr Quive. speaking
a, the Sanitary Institute Congress to-
day. said that outside OF highly spc-
oial!zed appliances little progress had
been made In the last 200 or 300 wears
in advancing the general efficiency Of
vessels for washing the human body.
There were probably $4,000. 900 bed
rooms in England which contained no
other appliance ,han a washstand and
basin. Inquiries. he said. showed that
the habit of taking q bath daily be-
longed principally to type of grad
yates OF public schools and to the early
middle aged men. Military men came
first. and racing men were good
second,
There was no evidence TO be dis
covered to lead to the conclusion that
the bathing accommodations of hotels
were unduly taxed. Whenever a con
gress OF medical men or sanitarians was
held in any town ii seemed To be
agreed. continued the doctor. that
American women were less bashful
than English women. They were not
afraid to pass along the corridors To
a bathroom. while their English sisters
had n stroag objection to doing this.
( This was accounted FOR by the fact
that American women made greater
use OF the bathroom. They We're also
apparently better provided with elah-
crate dressing gowns than the English
women.
Continuing. the doctor said that In
the nat!onalities the following appeared
10 be the order of frequency oi
bathing: Scoto hmen Englshmen. Irish
men, American women. English women
American men, F'renchmen and Ger
mans. He found no evidence that Tho
