DISCUSS ESTABLISHMENT
OF l|FE-SAV|NG CORPS
Canoeists Also Contemplate Fitting
Up Rooms With sFirst-Aid
Appliances.

A dozen canoeists responded to Maj.
Raymond w. Pullmans invitation to
attend meeting yesterday afternoon
and confer with Wilbert E. Longfel-
low. representing the American Ma
tional Red Cross, for the purpose of
establishing life-saving corps along the
Potomac river, more especially between
Aqueduct and Chain bridges.
Mr.. Longfellow and those in attend
ance at yesterdays meeting discussed
the question of establishing a life
saving corps at the bathing beach and
several along the river. 1t was sug-
gested that such corps be established
at the houses of the Washington
Canoe Club and Potomac Boat Club. 1t
also was suggested that one be estab-
lished at Krazy Kamp, Dempsey's and
Dreamland Park.
Another suggestion that appealed to
the canoeists was that rooms be fitted
with first-aid appliances and restora-
tiVeS for emergency use in cases where
drownings might occur and other river
accidents. Tho establishment of a num-
Der of such Places. it was pointed out,
might be the means Of several lives be-
ing saved during the course of year.
Graphing Hooks for Campers.
1t was stated that the interest aroused
by Mr.. Longfelipw's visit here last month
has resulted in the accomplishment of
much good. Graphing hooks have been
supplied campers along the river and it
is probable that other appliances soon will
be installed
Much interest was shown in the an
nouncement that the Board Of Trade will
offer a handsome prize to the life-saving
corps making the best record during the
course of a year.
Mr. Longfellow suggested the advisa-
blity of locating number of life buoys
along both banks of the river He ex-
planned that in many places such buoys
have been the means of saving a number
of lives.
Maj Pullman regretted that the police
have no available fund for the purchase
of such buoys. He realized, however,
that they are much needed. They cost
1915 each, he said, and the department
will see to the placing of any that may
be donated.
Arrangements have been made for
another meeting to be held at the Wash
ington Canoe Club Friday night at 8
o'clock Maj. Pullman and Mr.. Longfel-
low are anxious to have large attend
ance.

WORK TO Be COMPLETED
WITHIN CONTRACT TIME
Progress Noted in Construction of
Amphitheater and Chapel in
Arlington Cemetery.

A small army of workmen is busily
engaged in the construction of the
memorial amphitheater and chapel in
the Arlington national cemetery with
every indication of the completion of
the structures within the time limit,
February II, 1917, fixed by the con-
tract with the George A. Fuller Com
pany of this city. The act of Congress
approved March 4, 1913, providing for
the erection of the combined amphi-
theater and chapel limited the total
cost to S75O,O0O Since that date $780,
600 has been appropriated toward the
construction of the building, leaving
S1OO, 900 yet to be appropriated. Already
the foundations have been constructed
and derricks have been erected for
building the walls and other parts of
the superstructure. The foundations
are of most substantial chara cter
and consist of brick on concrete foot
ingS.
Located in Open Plateau.
The structures were designed by
Carrere & Hastings. architects, of New
York. The site selected is large open
plateau in the southern section of the
cemetery just east of the Maine memo
rial and near the site tentatively Sc
lected for the southern approach to the
proposed memorial bridge over the
Potomac river, the northern approach
to which will be- near the Lincoln
memorial in West Potomac Park. The
plateau on which the amphitheater will
be erected occupies about the same ele-
walton as that on which the Lee man
sion stands. Like that historic struc-
ture it affords free view of the river,
the Washington Monument, the Lincoln
memorial, the Capitol, the White
House, the State. War and Navy build
ing, the Treasury, the bureau of en-
craving and printing and other prom
inent landmarks in the National Capt.
tai. The memorial amphitheater will
be built of pure white Vermont Dan-
| by) marble, and will be plainly visible
from this city in beautiful setting of
green on the hills of Arlington.
! The amphitheater proper will be
fronted by a chapel of harmonious de-
sign, from which will run an elliptical
colonade of marble columns, surmount-
ed by caryatids. Formal approaches
will lead to the amphitheater, and ac-
cess to it will be by paths between the
columns. Outside of the chapel there
will be no rooms in the structure ex-
cept rest rooms.

The experience of Bennington
county fish and game warden in
Windham Sunday proves to some de-
gree what the fishermen of the rest
of the state have long had reason to
believe, that the fish and game laws
are more generally violated in Wind
ham than in any other county in the
state. The Banner has joined with
other papers of the state for several
years in trying to "jollyY the men Of
Windham count into taa5ine MP and
settling this issue themselves, but
they have so far failed 10 do, it, They
do not seem to realize that it would
be the best thing possible for them
selves and for their SPORT. In Ben
ningtoh county it has for several
years been growing more and more
popular to live up. to the law and we
have found it profitable to do so from
the standpoint of the sport. We
have our yiolators and fish hogs still
with us. but they are decreasing in
number and growing more and more
dislked. Windham county has Il
wealth of beautiful streams and
ponds and many miles of the magn-
fcent Connecticut Properly consery-
ed there is water enough in Windham
county to furnish first class fishing
to every resident and visitor The
reckless, thoughtless and selfish fish
erman declares that years ago when
there were no fish llaws the fishing
was better than it is today The ar
gument is faulty. Years ago the soil
raised bigger crops than it will today
without special treatment The fer
tility of the soil has been reduced by
constant cropping and needs to ha re
inforced by adding crop elements
and intensive cultivation. When tlds
is done the crops are larger and bet.
ter than ever. IL is precisely the
same with the fishing The streams
haye been depleted by careless and
reckless fishing. Some Of them haye
been ruined by sewage ana sawdust
