WINTER CHASING SPRING
ACROSS THE CONTINENT
Rain and Winter Temperature Pre-
dicted for Washington by the
Official Forecaster.

Those harbingers Of spring about which
bird lovers were discoursing so beauti-
fully yesterday will probably have to ap-
pear tonight and tomorrow in warm fan
nels, high Shoes rubbers and raincoats,
because an entire continent of rain is
sweeping eastward from the plains. The
rainy season. it is expected. will set in
today and stay awhile. The weather
man says also that heavy-clad winter
will take another linger in the lap Of
spring tomorrow and Sunday-especially
Sunday-when the mercury will be con-
siderably less than the freezing mark.
Tomorrow will be rainy and colder, and
Sunday will be wintry. if the present
program holds good. After that-who
knows?
Progress Of the Storm.
Rains have been washing the SHOWS
from the sides of the Rockies, have
swept across the Mississippi valley, leav-
ing an area of mud larger than many
kingdom; have turned the brooklets
of the Alleghanies into fierce cataracts
and are now ready to wash Washington
clean.
So the nuthatch, the yellow hammer
the song sparrow, the Woodpecker and
other little spring birds will undoubtedly
complain that the belfboy of the Spring
Hotel Company, Limited, called them q
little too early yesterday morning.

Visiting Nurses Here Possible.

DR.. Woodward declared the worth of
the school could not be computed in the
apparent physical growth of the child,
but in the great future results which
might be expected; the teaching Of proper
hygiene through these children. He ex-
pressed his belief that some day the pres
ent system Of education would be regard
ed as ridiculous and that future promo
tions would be based as much on the
growth of the child as on his mental abil-
ity. He believed that Congress would be
willing to provide visiting nurses for
Washington IL convinced capital residents
really wanted them. Under the present
conditions a tubercular child can be
either kept in school with other children,
he said. or kept out of school entirely.
He thought the first method was best.
Dr. Gwynn described the work done in
the Districts open-air school at the Blake
building. He spoke Of the benefits men,
tally and physically. Five children who
were in the school last year, he said, had
voluntarily applied for readmission this
year. He explained that the present sys-
tenn of ventilation in the schools Of this
city prohibits the opening of windows. as
ventilation throughout the entire building.
Milk will be the subject of lecture

Wiley and DR.. Woodward. are announced

ALLEGES DISCRIMINATION.
Association Wants Uniform Provi-
sions Governing Park Purchases.

The Rhode Island Avenue Suburban
Citizens Association has written to SEN
ator Gallinger. chairman of the subcom-
mittee on appropriations, asking him to
make uniform provisions governing the
proposed purchase Of the Klingle Valley
Park and Highway and Fort Davis. Fort
Dupont and Mount Hamilton parks.
The letter protests particularly against
what is termed discrimination, the asso-
citation pointing to the fact that the
clause of the District OF Columbia APP
preparation bill relating to the acquisition
of Klingle Valley Park and highway
specifies that the total cost. S290.O0o. shall
come out of the treasury, while the provi-
sions for the purchase of Fort Davis.
Fort Dupont and Mount Hamilton parks
require that the total costs shall be as
sessed as benefits against surrounding
property. go.

The organization Of the Washington
committee Of one hundred to celebrate
the centenary Of peace between the
United States and Great Britain, which
met in the District building January %
last, has been further advanced by the
appointment Of an executive committee.
This committee. Of which the officers of
the general committee are ex-offlcio men,
bers. is as follows: James Brown Scott,

ton. George Truesdell, George w. White.

At the first meeting of this committee
there was preliminary discussion of
the purpose and method Of the celebra-
ton, followed by the adoption of q reso-
luton for the appointment OF a subc0m
mittee on scope and plan. Of which DR..
to designate his associates. This COM
mittee will report to the executive COM
mittee, which will later report to the full
committee Of one hundred.
A resolution was also ADOPTED tnat IL
Is the sense of the executive committee
that the celebration shall date from the
signing of the treaty of Client. Christmas
eve, December u, 1914, rather than at
tempt to emphasize any of the signifi-
cant events of the war of 1872, such as
the invasion of Washington and the burn
ing Of the Capitol by the British August
"a, Is, 1914. 1t is to be made distinctly
celebration Of the advent OF peace,
rather than Of any particular events of
the war. Another significant date is that
Of the ratification of the treaty Of Client
by the United States Senate, February
10. 1876. lis said to be probable that
the committee on scope and plan will
recommend that cognizance be taken of
both of these dates, without necessarily
combining the celebration to either of
them.
