No Bathing Beach.

1t is stated that because some one has
said that the Potomac river water below
the Aqueduct bridge is polluted with
sewage the House subcommittee on Dis
trict appropriations proposes to cut all
provision for the municipal bathing beach
from the District bill. This would be in
credible but for the authoritative source
from which the report emanates. 1t is
true that there Is a small outflow Of sew
age into the river at Georgetown and
that to slight extent, perhaps, there is a
pollution of the water of the tidal basin
from this source. But the bathing beach
is not located there at present. though it
was once there. and it is now proposed
to establish it there again. 1t is now sit
uated apart from the basin and is sup
piled with filtered water from the city
mains and also from the overflow from
the White House fountain, itself fed from
the mains. AS the beach fills it con-
tains water as potable as that which
flows through the faucets in any house
in washington. If there is fear that
the removal of the beach to the basin.
as suggested, might expose its patrons to
disease influences, there should be no dis
position against permitting it to remain
in its present position. inadequate as
that may be. A poorly equipped public
swimming place is better than none, and
it is difficult to believe that upon further
reflection the House subcommittee will
report a bill that. through it's complete
lack of provision, leaves Washington
with the undesirable stigma Of furnish
ing no municipal bathing facilities what
ever for its people.

City Water.

Cincinnati is just passing through "A
trying experience illustrative of the de-
pendence of modern city upon its or
ganized water supply. Last Saturday one
of the large water mains broke in the
course of repairs, drowning three work
ingmen in trench. This was at first re-
garded as an accident of no particular i'm
portance apart from the casualties, but 1t
soon developed that the city could not be
supplied with water to within half it's
ordinary requirements until the break
was closed. The conditions We're unfa-
vorabe for effective work, and although
gangs labored day and night nothing could
be accomplished until Wednesday morning
when the breach was repaired and normal
conditions were resumed. For over three
days the city was on short rations of
water and suffered severely 1t was
possible to keep the residence section
fairly supplied, but the water famine
seriously affected the business interests.
Many manufacturing establishments were

most of the tall buildings. the hotels de-

of any magnitude starred in the business
section of Cincinnati on Sunday, Monday
or Tuesday 1t must almost assuredly have
spread to great proportions. with loss
Of many millions. The only reserve sup
ply for such an emergency was contained
In some small reservoirs that would not
have lasted an hour In case OF a big nre.
This experience proves the wisdom OF
utilizing, for city fire-extinguishing pur-
poses, the water Of river when such Is
available, on the high pressure basis.
New York has long since recognized this
need and a greater part of the downtown
section is covered by system of river
mains under pressure. In case of any
mishap to the general aqueduct fires in
the more densely congested section could
be more successfully fought from this
source. Washington has been seeking
the establishment of high pressure syS-
tenn for years. but without :uccess. In
this case it has been proposed to use
high reservoir north of the city with a
fall sufficient to send streams to the
highest public or commercial buildings
and with sufficient volume to Withstand
any conceivable demand. 1t has also been
proposed to draw from the Potomac by
means of powerful pumping stations. Be-
tween these two projects there is an
ample field of opportunity for Washing
ton to protect itself against the fire peril.
Regardless of the possibility OF a break

to be only reasonable economy. in view

doing that which practically every depart
ment head has urged for at least ten
years past. 1t is painfully plain that the
government must choose between that
departure from tradition and the retention
In service or heartless dismissal from
service Of its elder workers. In other
words, it must do what most Of the large
Industrial corporations have done or al
low its service to deteriorate, with in
human decapitation as the only alterna-
tive.
In the present conditions. with heartless
dismissal or charitable retention in senil-
ity at the end of the perspective of gov
eminent employment, the public service
offers no attractions for capable. efficient,
aspiring people as a career. Those who
enter it deliberately do so either to OBJ
tain a much needed job when all other
doors of opportunity are closed, or else
as a means of sustenance while prepar-
ing for some other line of work In these
circumstances it is practically impossible
to develop a corps spirit, feeling of
loyalty. The service must inevitably de-
teriorate steadily when 1t will attract
only the transient or the respondent who
have failed elsewhere.
The government should surely offer
more than this to those whom 1t takes
into its employ. 1t should say to them:
Enter the ranks and as you are proved
fit you will be promoted; as you show
loyalty you will be rewarded: you will
be advanced, not according to political
standing, but as you prove your worth
and acquire efficiency through continued
service; when your years are many and
your faculties begin to fail you will be
retired. not after demotion to correspond
with your decline, but at the maximum
point Of your compensation. In this wise
you will be encouraged to remain and to
consider this service as your life work.
and the rewards that await you after
years of faithful performance of duty will
hold you up to mark in efficiency"
On such a basis the government could
command permanently the services OF
those who now regard it, if as means of
employment at all, only as "a time-serv-
ing, emergency mode of making living.
1t is true that under a retirement system
such as Secretary Garrison urges patron
age and spoils would be impossible. The
merit system would prevail. But after
several decades of experience in the de-
velopment Of that system up to the pres
ent stage it is inconceivable that Con-
gress would elect to return to any other
basis The logical development, dictated
by the government own needs. regard
less of the clerks merits, is retirement
system, equitable to both the government
and its employees.

Not Too Late to "Shop Early"

Beginning tomorrow morning there will
be just nine more shopping days before
Christmas. Those who have postponed
their holiday gift buying until now have
a strenuous time before them, for despite
all the early buying of those who needed
the common-sense injunction, there is
great congestion in the stores, especially
at certain hours. But even the belated
ones yet in some measure shop
early" They can begin tomorrow. which
will be a better day than Tuesday. even
as Tuesday will be a better day than
Wednesday.
Procrastination is the thief of comfort
and satisfaction in Christmas shopping.
and every day lost is gone forever. The
shop girls are growing more and more
weary and the aisles are becoming more
crowded. The stocks of goods are being
depleted of the fresher. more desirable
items. The belated buyer is at a disad-
vantage which cannot be overcome.
In the good old days when most Christ
mas presents were homemade work on
them started many weeks before the holi-
day season. as soon as The harvest was
gathered and the farm work was light
ened. IL considered disgraceful to be
tardv in finishing such gifts. There was
no handy shop To run to for some eleventh.
hour substitute. and everything depended
upon nimble fingers and unwearying per-
sistence.
The example set then. by the Christ
mas givers of the past. should serve now
as stimulus to all who purpose buying
something for somebody q holiday
token to lose no day in doing 1t, out of
consideration at least for the sorely
tried people behind the counters.
