Clean the Peace Monument!

To the Editor of The Star:
In bis magnificent address to the old
soldiers and their friends at Arlington,
Memorial day last year, Speaker Champ
Clark voiced my sentiments. and those of
many other thousands. when he said:
81 speak for the generation born too
late to participate in that great war;
Like the great orator. in one respect,
/ was too young to take part in that
great struggle, but. in common with
all others who love our country, I have
deep regard and generation for the
boys in blue" who are now in the sere
and yellow leaf of life, and are known
as "the old soldiers"
During their sturdy young manhood,
as they answered the call to arms. they
cheerily sang a song, the refrain Of
which was: I'VE are coming, Father
Abraham. three hundred thousand
strong"
Now they are coming, thin line left
of the mighty armies of SO long ago.
They are coming to the Capital CITY of
the republic, which remains united and
invincible largely as the result of their
services, sufferings and bereavements
You and ]. and all of us, want to do
the best that we can for those heroes
VI the ndtlon Ouf, peace, and the peace
of national invincibility. we owe to
them. Therefore. inasmuch as we have
a monument to peace, called the Peace
monument, which all of them will see,
let me hope and pray that you will
find, by publicity of the fact, come one
in authority who will see to it that the
dust. dirt and CRIME shall be removed
from that monument. During the past
sixteen years I have seen it grow more
grimy and less attractive: and now, it
seems to me, is the proper time for
some prompt attention to be given to
it. SO that the Peace monument may
be worthy of the name and worthy of
the veterans whose daring deeds made
it possible for it to be there.

TO REPAIR MORGANTOWN PIER.
Floating Plant Leaves to Fix Dam
age Done by Steamer.

Clarke L. Winston Company's floating
wharf building plant will leave today
for Lower Cedar point. Md, to repair
Morgantown wharf. which was damaged
about a week ago by steamboat when
landing. One corner of the pier was
cut away. 1t is expected that about a
week will be required. The break in
the pier does not interfere with steam
ers landing.
Morgantown is owned by Robert
Grain OF Baltimore and is by far the
finest wharf on the river and one of the
more important freight centers. The
steamers running between this city and
Baltimore as we'll as the steamers run
ming out of this city to river landings
make stops at Morgantown.

HEALTH OFFICER SOUGHT
BY ALEXANDRIA COUNTY
Civic Federation Discusses Subject
of Improved Sanitation and
Approves Policy.

Health laws and their enforcement
held chief interest at the meeting of
the County Civic Federation at Alexan-
dria courthouse, Fort Myer Heights,
last night. Proposals to have a coun-
ty survey by the United States public
health service and to employ health
officer who shall give his whole time
to the work and be paid an adequate
salary were discussed with unanimous
approval THE only question was how
these objects can he attained.
Dr. w. c.. Welburn of Ballston. chair
man of the sanitation committee re-
ported that both propositions had been
brought before the board of supervisors
and were under favorable considera-
ton. There will probably be delay in
action. he said, and it was brought out
in the discussion that one reason for
this is lack of funds. The new tax levy,
however. is expected to give the coun-
ty more money. and more progress is
then expected.

Bad Sanitary Examples.

DR.. Welburn cited a case of extreme
sanitary neglect" and showed photo
graphs of a coward with a well in
the center. He also told of home
where the flies could come to the table
through an open window from disease
bearing filth not ten feet away He
felt. however, that nothing could be
done until the supervisors were ready
to provide a method with money for
the work.
DIR. Ralph Quick Of the county health
board called attention to the health
regulations recently adopted by the
board, and said Common wealth's Attor-
ney Mackey had said the health board
was empowered by law to make such
regulations and to see that they are
obeyed. These rules would remedy all
conditions cited by DR.. Welburn, it
was stated. Both he and DR.. Welburn
urged that the most essential thing for
better health conditions was cam
paign OF education. by which every
body would be Informed of what is
needed.
