COLLAPSIBLE BATH
HOUSES SUGGESTED
LContinued From First Page1

continued From First Page1
issue about my letter to Council re-
garding the bathhouse, l desire to say
that 1 DO NOT object to a public
bathhouse, but l do think that the is
land is not the place for one. 1 believe
it for three reasons.
'First-Every fiat and steamboat
with coal and sand must leave the
,ity shore, and the bridge island is the
only place they can be unloaded. For
that reason they must go there and
when they are busy there will be NO
place left for a crowd to battle. AT
that, there is no telling what winter
ice will do to the island, which may
be torn to pieces. All those bridges
Will some day make gorge, then
good-by to everything and the island.
"Second-There are now, and have
been for some years, eighteen nice
large dressing rooms on the island
that would accommodate all the peo-
pie from the center of the city and
Hill district. who use the river for
bathing purposes. These rooms, all of
them, have lockers in them and the
rooms face the nice part of the river
at the island, which is between the
Cumberland Valley bridge and Mar
ket street bridge. Why not invite the
Hill people there and let them use
those rooms? They all have shower
baths in them.
Third cannot see why all the
people uptown must go such a great
long way to swim, when all they
would have to do would be to go down
to the river and go in. We have a col
lapsible dam; why couldn't we have
some collapsible lighthouses, say one
at Boas street and one at Kelker and
Muench. The water at all these
points is of fine depth, the farther out
you go the deeper it gets. These
could be made fine bathing places
with strings of narrow dressing rooms
set up along the walk, where they
could be unlocked and taken out OF
the way for winter. All that would
be necessary would be to clean the
river bottom, then dump several fiat:
of sand and the beach would be ready
The park board has maintained 9
house along the city front and thai
proves that the water is all right fol
bathing, for it has been used by thou.
sands each year.
These are the points I wanted the
Council to consider when / wrote my
letter. l would like to see the uptown
have the use of the river without GO
ing miles out of their way. 1 wanted
| them to have its use at the neares
point to their homes. 1t seems strange
to me that people will go to Atlantic
City, stop at a hotel on the beach ant
watch those people and their dress, o.
lack of same, and their actions
then come home and object to a bo,
bathing opposite to their homes.
Let us have bathing along the en-.
tire River Front.
II did not say IN my letter tha
there was not ) per cent. of bathers
| said, Five per cent. of the boatinl
people was in favor of the bridge is
land, which means that 80 per cent
are not.
Thanking you for your kindness in
publishing this statement of my rea.
sons for urging investigation before
acting by the councilmen, l remain.
VERY truly yours,
HARRY j. BERRIER."

British Bankers Want All
Gold to Stay in u. S

England officials, to all British branch
banks and banking agencies in this
city directing them to discourage
further shipments of gold to the Ar
gentine Republic and in general all
gold shipments from the United
States to any country.
The main reason for this is regard

BILE to enable it more successfully to

CAPTAIN GOT NEW TROUSERS
Incident That Has More Than a Touch
of Comedy Occurred on the
lsonzo Front.

How near tragedy and comedy are In
the happenings along the battle line
is shown by this incident of the fight
ing on the Isonzo river front.
A Caproni fighting aeroplane that
had gone from the Italian side was hit
by the antiaircraft guns and fell with
in the Austrian lines. The pilot was
killed, the observer was somewhat
scratched, but otherwise unhurt. His
trousers, however, were ripped from
A to H."
Captain Amegliano, the captured fly
er, was inconsolable, and to an Aus
trian officer who sympathized with him
he said:
''My poor comrade will be buried
and cannot even pay him my last re-
spects-not in this gear"
"If that is ALL" remarked the Aus
trian, "we'll soon mend that" And
after obtaining permission, he went
up in his Fokker machine and threw
a letter into the Italian line, acquaint'
Ing them with the fact, and request
ing "a pair Of new trousers for Cap
tain AmeglianO."
Sure enough, an hour or so later
there was an Italian machine high
In the air, and package dropped that
contained a laurel wreath for the dead

GOOD GRIT SUPPLY
Is MOST ESSENTIAL
Not Only Keeps Fowls in Good
State of Health, but De-
creaSeS Feed Bill.

When grit is not supplied some of
the grain is not reduced sufficiently to
make it available for assimilation, and
it passes through the body as waste.
The supplying Of grit regularly then
is real economy not only in keeping
the fowls II a good state Of health,
but in the saving of food.
Many farmers supply their hens 10
grit, they believe that hens on range
will find all that is needed. Some
soils contain very little grit, and
where the hens have ranged over a
field for, perhaps, 10 or 20 years, the
natural supply of grit may have be-
come entirely exhausted. Unless one
is certain that the range supplies an
adequate quantity of grit, it will pay
to buy the commercial article and keep
it before the hens all the time.
Grit can be supplied in limited
way by breaking up pieces of broken
pottery, china and glassware to the
proper size. Walnut and hickory
nut shells are also good. The grit
must be irregular in shape and con-
tain sharp edges.

GOT HEMLOCK SEED CHEAP
EngIishman's Shrewd Scheme for Pro.
curing Drug That Commanded
Good Price on Market.

Mr.. Pickwick's valet and all-around
servant, Samuel Weller, whose linn
tied acquaintance with physicians and
apothecaries did not hamper his fes-
tive Imagination in the relation of med
ical novelties which were heard with
wonder and amaZement by Mr. Pick
wick and his friends, should have had
in his repertoir the following from the
London Garden: Every autumn
man used to bring to wholesale drug
house in London quantity of hem
lock seed which he sold at half the
market price. The curiosity of mem
Der of the house at last becoming
aroused he asked the man how he
could afford to sell the drug so cheap
ly. After being promised that nothing
would be done to interfere with his
business he described his method.
Every spring he filled his pockets with
the seed and went out into the cOun-
try. Wherever he saw good wide
hedgerow he SoWed the seed broad
cast. Then he went his way and wor-
ried no more over his crop until the
fall, when he revisited the scene Of his
labors. He would then call the farm
er'S attention to the weeds" in his
hedge, offering to cut them down for
shilling a. hedge, an offer which the
farmer gladly accepted. Thus was the
ground furnished free and he was paid
to cut the harvest.
