considerable reductions in the amount
of the fines have been made. In some
instances. Also the nne was removed
on the presentation of the facts in the

many of those fined were not thor

Within the last I'VE years no less than
900 fraudulent cures for consumption
have been tried upon thousands Of victims
in the United States, and the exploiters
Of these nostrums have reaped a clear
profit of not less than 100000. This
is an estimate made by the National As
sociation for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis in a bulletin just issued.
The National Association estimates that
not less than $4,000. 900 is invested in the
business OF manufacturing and exploiting
fake cures for tuberculosis. and that the
annual income from these concerns and
of this amount is spent for advertising
leaving a profit OF $1O.O0O,OO0 a year.

MAY OPEN new DRIVE
ALONG THE POTOMAC
Grading and Filling Done and
Only Job of Surfacing and
Dressing Remains.

Ii the money necessary to complete the
new driveway now being built along the
water sides Of the section of Potomac
Park east of the railroad embankment is
available next month, it is more than
probable that the long stretch of beauti-
full drive will be thrown open to the pub
lie before the coming of cold weather
The building of the new road has been
in progress for more than a year and
practically all the work of grading and
filing has been done, leaving but little to
be completed except the putting on of the
surface and the dressing of it with the
tar and oil combination now used on the
der the south end of Railroad bridge
along the Virginia channel to opposite the
mouth. of the Eastern branch and then
follows the Washington channel along the
east and north sides of the park to the
present roadway alongside the electric
railway tracks into Virginia. Nearly a
mile of the new roadway has been sur
faced and dressed and is used at times.
When the new portion of the Potomac
Park system of roadWays is completed
Washington will have a driveway that
for beauty cannot be excelled by that of
any city in the country.
Ten Miles Of Cool Road.
Commencing at the foot of 18th street
it sweeps along the banks of the Potomac
for several miles. then swings back
around the harbor and tidal basin to the
starting point, distance of about ten
miles of beautifully shaded water-cooled
road.
1t is also planned in the next year to
improve the portion OF Potomac Park
east Of the railroad embankment with
flower beds, fountains walkways and
pla ygrounds that will not be excelled by
the park system of any city for beauty
and the pleasure the people will derive
from 1t.
A wonderful feature of Potomac Park
and the one that most persons have for
gotten is the fact that quarter Of
century ago, where the park now is, was
a mosquito breeding swamp, covered by
the water of the river on high tide
This entire tract has been redeemed from
the river and raised to its present level
in the various improvements that have
been made to the depth of water in the
Washington and Virginia channels This
same scheme of retaining river flats
from the OVERLOOKING water is going on
along the Anacostia river, where large
areas reclaimed in the past four or five
years are being used for market gardens

development of flying in the navy. This
Is due TO the action OF the Navy Depart

Capt. w. I. Chambers the head of the
navy flying service. on the retired list
Just why this was done officers of the
navy say is one OF the mysteries of in
ternal bureau politics. Capt. Chambers
originated the navy flying squad and
while not himself an aviator. is one Of the
