DESIRES SAFER BOILERS,
Secretary Redfeld Orders Additional
Precautions for Steamhoa+.

Additional precautions to make steam
boat boilers safe have just been ordered
by Secretary Redfield of the Department
OF Commerce, as result of the killing of
eleven persons last month when boiler
on the steamer Jefferson failed. The ac-
cident was caused by the failure Of the
fusible plug to give way under over
heating. The plug. upon examination by
the bureau of standards, was found to
have contained only small quantity of
soft metal. The larger part of the ma
terial, it was declared, was found not to
melt at temperature of 5000 degrees
Fahrenheit
The regulations, as just amended, re-
quire two fusible plugs in upright boilers,
instead of one, as heretofore. 1t is also
required. under the amendments, that the
plugs be renewed every four months, and
that manufacturers of such plugs shall
stamp their name or initials thereon for
Identification, and shall file with the
supervising inspector general of the
steamboat inspection service a sworn
certificate that such plugs are. filed with
good. pure banca tin. They will also be
required to furnish steamboat inspectors
with one plug out of each lot of twenty
furnished steamboat companies.

The Dying Tree

All, it is saddening to see
beautiful and stately tree in
process of decay; it took long
years to reach its height, and then
there fell deadly blight that ate
its heart away. 1t seems to know
it's in the soup, for all its leaves
and branches droop. It's a despair
ing thing; and in the zephyr or
the gale it seems to moan and
sigh and wall, when it should
dance and sing. There's nothing
nobler than a tree, there's naught
that more appeals to me. and oh,
it makes me hot, to think such
stately things must die. because
some derned old worm or fly has
given it dry rot And in our
towns million trees are dying
OF some punk disease impaired
in that way: great elms that
pleased our pas. and mas are
crumbling to the ground because
such pests we do not slay. A
little hustling out of doors might
save the threatened sycamores,
the locusts and the elms: so let
us grid our loins today, and spray
our friends the trees. and slay
the worm that overwhelms. If
'ou would sit supinely by, and see
splendid shade tree die, and
rever lift hand. if YOU would
use no doleful sound, when trees
'-e diving all around. YOU surely
should be canned.

A PROTEST AGAINST GAMBLING
Conditions at Glen Echo Evoke a
Citizens Complaint.
To the Editor Of The Star:


About nineteen years ago. moved to
Glen Echo. The car service was not
good, so I rode to and from my busi-
ness. on a bicycle. 1 have consequently
often counted the clubs and so-called
speakeasies on the Conduit road from
the District line to our village. Fifteen
years ago there were some fourteen to
sixteen of these joints, including
gambling on horse racing or any other
kind OF a game. Glen Echo Park was
Park was ruined by gamblers Beer,
whisky and all kinds of drinks were
sold openly for years in a prohibition
could be sold under the law. In
those days there was no respect paid
to the law. But finally, by fines and
arrests. this was nearly stopped and
today the Conduit road is almost free
from this condition, which makes one
of the finest drives in the country.
We still live in what they call a dry
county. where no gambling is allowed
and amusement parks under the law
cannot be kept running on Sundays. We
have almost obliterated the speak
easies and gambling. Now we want
the aid of ali good Christians and good
thinking people to help US close down
the running of the noisy amusements
such as the merry-go-round, the Ferris
wheel, the gyroplane. scenic railroad,
the midway and others that make the
Sabbath day one of screeching, swear
ing and no respect or reverence.
Walking around the park and look
ing at the different amusements or in
ducements to get the money from the
people. I stopped when I heard a man
crying in loud voice: I'VE are going to
give away a baby! Everybody this
way. We are going to give away a
baby!" A sign over spinning wheel
read: I'VE sell chewing gum and give
the paddles free" On each paddle were
three numbers. In order to spin the
wheel of fortune there must be twenty
or twenty-five paddles sold. You have
three chances in twenty or twenty
Ave to win the gift of a baby or
large doll. 1 saw fathers with their
three to eight year old boys and girls
waiting with their money to bet on this
game. wonder if the parents who
put up the coins at this game ever
think of the aftermath of this example
of gambling incuicated in this boy or
girl. / wonder whether in after years
a boy turned out gambler the father
or mother could blame him. 1t makes
no difference what the game is. 1t is
a very improper example to set, espe-
cially on a Sabbath day. How easy it
would be to say, II am giving dollar

Eyesight VS.. Headlight.
To the Editor of The Star:


There has been a good deal in the pa
pers lately about binding headlights on
automobiles causing accidents, but moth
ing has been said about the Injurious eff
fects on eyesight. The optic nerve is
the most delicate portion OF the body,
and scientific people know that constant
irritation affects not only the eye. but
the entire sympathetic, nervous system.
Yet the present tendency is to treat this
delicate mechanism as If 1t were cast
iron: people are confronted everywhere
by glaring lights, not only on autos, but
in other forms.
An eminent oculist who visited this
city gave out in an interview that after
awhile, when people become really civ
ilized," we will not see them sitting In
public offices working with their eyes
exposed to glaring electric lights. He
stated that 1t injured. not only the eye
sight and the general health. but even
had an irritating effect on the disposi-
ton.
1t is a sort Of paradox that. with all
the fuss made about sanitation. this is,
in actual practice, an era of utter disre-
gard of real, practical care for eyesight,
or care of the body in any shape. that is.

ACTIVITIES Of K|DD|ES
TO BEGIN WEDNESDAY
Industrial Pursuits at Many Schools
and Opening of the Play
Places.

Summer activities for the children
of Washington are to begin for the
most part Wednesday. Although the
city has no summer public schools,
many of the activities which are to
start July 1 will partake largely Of a
study character. Industrial work, gar
den work, reading courses and other
similar features will be started at that
time. In one or two instances work
has already been begun or continued
over from the school year.
Summer classes are again to be held
at the Grover Cleveland School this
year. The work probably will be along
lines similar to those of last year,
when the pupils were taught sewing,
carpentry and typewriting.
At the Other Schools.
Wednesday summer classes are to be
opened at the Chevy Chase School.
The work here is to be in part that of
the work done on the school play
grounds. Gardening will be one of the
principal features, inasmuch as the in
stitution has a large plot of ground
around it. Plans for the opening of
these classes were completed at a
meeting of the executive committee of
the home ana SchOOl Association,
which is financing the proposition.
1t is possible that certain industrial
activities in addition to those of the
past will be conducted this year at the
Monroe School, where a playground is
to be conducted. The school officials
have the matter under advisement, but
have reached no decision SO far.
Libraries are to be conducted at the
Eaton and Hyde Schools this summer.
Books are loaned to these branches by
the Public Library. the librarians being
paid from funds raised by the parents
and friends of children of the school,
Fairgrounds to Open.
In addition to the activities already
named, the school Fairgrounds are
also to be opened Wednesday. They
are to be conducted similarly to last
year, work being interspersed with
play. Many useful things are to be
taught the kiddies who visit the play
grounds.
Lack of funds has handicapped in
many ways the development of the
summer activities of the Districts
schools on many occasions. Despite
this fact, however, much work has
been done which, according to the off,
cials, has been excellent. and each year
thousands of children have made use
of the facilities afforded, just as it is
expected they will do this summer.
