Washington as a Summer Resort.

Though it cost the lives of many adults and
children, created a reign of terror and spread
sadness and sorrow, the infantile paralysis
plague has not been without beneficial results.
Chief among these is proof that there is no
known cure for the disease knowledge Of
this fact has created a widespread demand for
cure and in response to this demand some
of our greatest scientists are putting forth their
best efforts to discover a cure.
The plague, at a terrible cost, has demon
strated to the layman the value of cleanliness
Fathers and mothers, frightened for the safety
of their children have asked: What shall we
doo" The answer has been to observe the rules
Of cleanliness, to give the child fresh air and
proper food and in short, to ward off the
disease by making the child healthy and strong.
To the poor especially has the lesson to keep
the children clean been emphasized
In Washington where the plague touched but
lightly, a different but very valuable lesson
has been taught mothers and fathers. This
lesson, briefly, is that Washington is healthy
in summet as we'll as in winter and therefore
ideal summer resort
Reports Of the plague in various sections out
side of this city served to convince a large
number OF parents here that the best place for
the children to spend the summer was in Wash
ington. AS result, it is probable that more
children remained in Washington during the
summer just ending than ever before. The re-
suit has been remarkable. Parents have dis
covered that the so-called vacation troubles
are caused in a large percentage Of cases by
sending the children away where a change of
water, foods and climatic conditions have caused
disaster.
This does not mean that all vacations out of
town are likely to cause trouble but that Wash
ington is healthier than most summer resorts, -
and has better climate better water and bet
ter foods. 1t is hot in this city at times, but
the hot spells during this summer have been
few and far between and there. have been few
nights too warm for comfort. The children
who have remained here throughout the sum-
mer, according to some of our leading physicians,
are in much better health than those who have
gone out of town with but few exceptions
Fathers and mothers, therefore, by actual ex-
perience have been forced by the infantile pa
ralysis plague to learn the advantages of Wash
ington summer resort and the result prob
ably will be that the number of children who
annually make vacation trips will be greatly
reduced OF course, there are numerous in
stances where it is necessary for a child to
have change of climate. In these cases, how
ever, the change generally is prescribed by a
physician who, a rule, advises parents where
to take the child. If the advice of physicians
is followed few children will be taken to un-
healthy summer resorts.

The Armor Plate Plant Site.

President Moran, of the Chamber OF Com
meree, who is leading the campaign for the
selection of Washington as the site for the
proposed $II,oooooo government armor plate
plant, yesterday took action that is likely to
have much effect on the navy officials charged
with. the selection of the site.
Mr.. Moran wrote letter to Secretary oi
the Navy Daniels asking. in substance, that
the Secretary advise him as to all of the essen
tias for an ideal armor plate plant site. Mr.
Moran also volunteered the services of the Cham
Der of Commerce in gathering all the facts about
Washington desired by those who will select
the site.
Mr.. Moran's letter is notable in that it proves
conclusively the sincerity of his belief that
Washington can offer as much, if not more, than
any other city seeking the plant. The letter
is notable also because it reduces the campaign
to the status of plain, straightforward business
deal, wherein Washington as the seller, says
to the Navy Department, as the buyer:
Tell me just what you want and | will
prove that I can give it to you"
In this letter Mr.. Moran takes advantage oi
the opportunity to emphasize some of the argu
ments why Washington should be designated
He says:
"On the question Of advantages for the
location of the armor plate plant in Wash
ington, we present, among other matters
already called to your attention, the fol-
lowing:
Washington is the deep water point
on the Atlantic coast nearest to coal and
limestone deposits 1t is less than fifty
miles to the limestone deposits of the Har
pers Ferry region, and only $50 miles to
the Cumberland coal deposits, with both
Of which Washington has both rail and
water connection.
Washington is in direct contact with
all the pig iron markets of the East and
South, and so placed midway between
them that full advantage may be taken
Of favorable conditions in any Of them.
I'VE especially desire to present to
you the facts in detail with regard to
capacity for handling materials and prod
ucts by rail and water in any quantity and
without delays, owing to the choice OF
communication to the site proposed and also
to the fact that is is directly connected
by double-track railroad used for freight
exclusively, with the great assembling and
distributing yard at Benning.
I'VE would like time to secure an op-
portunity to present facts which the expe
rience of the Washington Steel and Ord
nance Company would furnish and which
are especially applicable to the present
consideration"
These arguments are business arguments, pre-
sented in a busncss-like way and they prob
ably will make a strong impression the minds
OF navy officials for the reason that the selection
of site is to be made according TO the rules
Of good business.

Police authorities in Chicago estimate that
a band OF blackmailers operating with that city
as a base have procured more than $2ooooo 1t
is believed that the majority of the band already
is under arrest and those still at liberty soon
will be caught. Eight indictments have been
returned and the cases are to be prosecuted
without delay. Delving into the operations of
the crooks to hnd how it was possible for them
to procure such large sums of money by black
mail the police discovered that the band
utilized the Mann Act as a basis for nearly all
Of its operations. The Mann Act was enacted
for the purpose Of saving young girls from the
life known as white slavery" 1t is doubtful,
however, if the law has served this purpose in
a way that could be called successful On the
other hand the law has been a useful tool in
the hands of bad women and has made black
mailing simple Of accomplishment. Authorities
familiar with the facts say that almost every
case that has been prosecuted under the Mann
Act could have been successfully prosecuted
under laws that existed before the Mann Act
was enacted. Apparently, this law, designed to
eliminate vice, has served chiefly to encourage
another vice.
