OFFICE TENANTS DEMAND
ABUNDANCE OF FRESH AIR

proper amount of air can be delivered
without causing discomfort to the &C.
cupants and without there being any
upkeep or operating charges connected
with 1t. A statement of this kind could
not have been made two or three years
ago. but much evidence is at hand tc
prove that these results are being OBJ
tanned in great number of offices in
New York city with uniform satisfac-
ton to the tenants of such Offices.
Many surveys of offices in New York
city have shown that where there are
many Office employees it is fair to as
sumo that wages amounting to $4,000 a
year are paid to those receiving light
practice in some of these offices to air
the room by opening the windows a,
last four times a day, and the figures
furnished by the manager of one OF
these rooms show that the cost in
wages for this method of ventilation Is
81 day. This amounts to 500 8
month. or $500 for the six months OF
cool weather. The room in question
can be properly ventilated for 500
thus the saving in one month is suffi-
Gent to pay for the entire equipment
What a Cold Costs.
Managers of large Office forces have
compiled statistics showing the loss to
their companies occasioned by cold OF
an employe, and they also have formed
a fair idea as to the increased amount
of work that can be obtained If the
sleepy feeling late in the morning and
late in the afternoon can be eliminated
by the proper supply of fresh air to the
rooms.
Much Information is being furnished
the public by those in charge of public
schools. and especially the experts who
are studying the physical and mental
development of children. 1t has been
found that the so-called more difficult
studies are taken up the first thing In
the morning because the children dc
not seem to be mentally in condition to
grasp them during the afternoon
hours. Results. however. with the
fresh air classes in which the children
do their studying in rooms which are
not heated. but are continually receiv-
ing air through the windows. demon
strate that the hardest subjects may be
taught in the afternoon and that the
students are as mentally active in the
late hours of the day as they are in the
early morning These facts confirm the
observations made by the managers OF
large Office forces and point to a def
mite gain in amount and accuracy OF
the work II fresh air is continually
supplied at proper temperature to the
working force which is employed for
many consecutive hours each day.
With the large amount of literature
that is being published dealing with
the advantage of a supply of fresh air

sis and recent newspaper articles by
eminent scientists brought out by the
prevalence Of grip. the public is being
educated on this subject It seems nos.
sible that the time will come shortly

very thing when he came to a little
fence made of brush. The little path.
which happened to be one of Peter
Rabbits. led right through this little
fence, for an opening just the width
of the little path had been left by who
ever had built the little fence. Reddy
stopped. He sat down and studied the
little fence with q very cunning and
knowing air. He could see the little
fence stretching for some distance
among the trees.
Hal said Reddy. and trotted along
beside the little brush fence. Every
little while he came to a little opening
There was always one where the fence
crossed a path. 1t was just as if who
ever had made that little fence had
been thoughtful enough of those who
might use the little paths to leave a
place for them to go through instead
of putting them to the trouble of jump
ing over the fence. Not that it was
much of a jump. Reddy could leap over
Rabbit for that matter. But most peo-
pie will do the easiest thing. and
whoever had built that fence knew that
any one coming along one of those lit
opening if they were small enough to
do so. Reddy Fox wasn't. But Reddy
wouldn't have gone through had the
opening been plenty big enough. That
picious.
But Reddy knew just what that little
fence meant He had seen just such
little fences before. He knew that ter
rible things happened to those who
tried to get through those little open
ings. He knew. because he had seen
them. So as he trotted along and care
fully looked at each little opening he
wondered If any one would be care
less enough to try to go through one.
''If they do and get into trouble it
will serve them right. Any one ought
to know that this little fence was made
by a man or a boy and that it is for
no good purpose. / wonder if Farmer
Browns Boy built it. Anyway / think
I'll happen along this way early to-
morrow morning. I'm sure 1 don't
wish any one to get into this kind of
trouble. but if any one does their mis-.
fortune may be my good fortune"
With this Reddy hoped over the lit
tie brush fence and went on his way.

Details of Development.

Going into details of the proposed de-
velopment, Col. Harris says:
Upon the transfer of this area to the
chief of engineers, L. S. A, in 1914, as
a part of the park system of the District
of Columbia. there was made available
a virgin tract of park land of 327.53 acres
well above the highest river floods, pro-
tected by strong serviceable seawall
the soil of which is composed of the rich
est alluvium, promising excellent plant
ing possibilities for landscape adorn-
ment. The surface has been left in
such condition by the dredging opera
lions that the entire area is adapt
able with little expense for develop
ment into a huge recreation field.
Slight undulations of surface are even
now sufficiently pronounced to drain well
the major portion. but, of course. here and
there various minor draining facilities will
be required to dispose of occasional sur
face water, which would otherwise collect
or drain across roads and walks. Some
small portions will have to be regarded
to accommodate special recreation fea-
lures, as, fr instance, wading and bath
ing pools, tennis courts, base ball da-
monds, etc, but the work anticipated in
this direction may be considered quite
light in comparison with the extent of the
project. In parts of the island volunteer
trees have already grown to considerable
heights, many of these trees can we'll be
preserved and Incorporated into the final
development.

Treatment Of Island Point.

Treatment Of Island Point.
AT the southern end of the park a
small channel is proposed so that those
who may wish to take a short journey
to the point by way of the water will
have some shelter. On the small is
land so created but connected to the
! maln portion of the park with an ap-
propriate bridge, will be small shell
ter house equipped with toilet convent
ences and refectory to accommodate
the many visitors who even now make
enthusiastic use of the motor roadway
around the park. On this point an OPP
suitable artistic memorial in such a
way as to add a proper and natural
feature to the landscape.
Accessibility of Park.
The question of making the park ac-
cessible has been given particular con-
sideration. Compared with similar at
fractions in other cities, this park is
already reached with comparative ease
by reason of it's close proximity to the
more densely populated portions of the
city. Street railway lines with ter
minals are planned SO that in time of
large gatherings 10000 people can be
handled without undue crowding, and
ample space has been reserved for the
storing and switching of the street
cars. The railway traffic yard at the
stadium is proposed to be served by
the same tracks that extend to the
boat harbor, but which would not be
used except on the occasion Of the
congregation of large crowds. These
transportation features are, of course,
subject to change in detail, depending
on the practicab ility of construction.
Private ferries are contemplated
directly connecting the nearest points
of the transportation lines serving the
wharves, probably at l.. Water and 18th
streets, with that portion of the park

swim. and soon will have to be remov-
ed. The use of the tidal basin is some
what restricted, investigation having
shown that the use of any local bath
ing place supplied by raw Potomac
rived water is to be avoided on account
of its pollution.
