WILL TEST FOUNTAINS
Health Department Plans Investisa-
tIon Of Different Types.

To determine whether the so-called
sanitary drinking fountains in use
In the schools and District govern
ment building are sanitary in name
only or whether they are purveyors of
disease germs, the Health Depart
ment is about to begin a thorough
inspection which will include all OF
the types in operation. Results OF
several preliminary tests influenced
Health OFFICER Woodward in making
the investigation.
The number OF bubbling fountains
in use in the school buildings Is ap-
proximateIy 900. and there are 200 in
the District and other Government
buildings. The fountains include
about a dozen different types. The in
staIIatIon OF bubbling fountains to
replace the common drinking cups
was begun seven years ago.
Health officials declined today to
forecast the result of their investiga-
tions.
The opinion was expressed by Mu-
nicipaI Architect Snowden Ashford,
however, that certain types are alb
solutely sanitary. ain the last three
years" Mr.. Ashford said. fountains
giving a constant stream have been
installed, as they were considered
more sanitary than those giving an
intermittent stream"
The tests are made by the ispectors
placing in their mouth harmless
culture and drinking from the foun-
tain. II a minute later the organisms
IN the culture are found in the wa
ter, the fountain IL used in a public
school or building where drinking is
frequent, would be declared unsatis-
factory. The investigation, IL was
said, probably will occupy several
weeks. At its conclusion a report
will be submitted by Health officer
Woodward to the Commissioners.

NEW WEAPON FOR
USE OF U. S. NAVY
Admiral Fiske Designs Tor:
pedopIane for Sinking
Battleships.
FIRES DURING FLIGHT
Inventor Says Its Use
Would Have Decided
Jutland Battle.
FIRES RING FLIGHT

NEW YORK, Feb. 12.-That there
is available for use in defending the
United States, in the event of war. q
weapon which II developed promises
to assure victory at sea, became
known today.
1t Is the torpedoplane. invented by
Rear Admiral Bradley A Fiske. u. s.
", retired.
Simply expressed. the idea Is this:
An aeroplane or flying boat carries
beneath It a Whitehead torpedo. the
aviator, when six or seven miles away
from the battleship he wishes to de-
stroy. volplanes down In the direction
he Wishes the torpedo to be fired.
When comparatively few feet above
the water, he pulls . lever. The tor
pedo Is released and the starting lever
of the torpedo simultaneously thrown
back. The torpedo falls into~ the
water just as II Il had been dropped
from Q destroyer, and having also the
initial velocity of the plane. The
aviator rises again. The torpedo
speeds on to its mark. When the
blow Is struck the frail aircraft may
be sweeping a mile above the sea,
or may, indeed, have returned to its
base-a coastal fort or a specially de-
signed vessel-for "reloadins." Ad-
miral Fiske says that the use Of this
weapon would have decided the battle
of Jutland.
Navy Men Enthusiastie.
The thing is revolutionary. A sim
pie apparatus, combining two Ameri-
can inventions in the wink of an. eye,
makes a trained army pilot with a
$4,000 aeroplane q worthy foe for .
$50, ,OOO. 900 battle cruiser.
Admiral, Fiske has talked with ma
val officers and aviators alike. Both
have expressed admiration for his
plan. The navy men have declared
that guns fired from q rolling cruiser
could never hit q torpedoplane, es-
ly, either overhead or on the surface
OF the water. And aviators have said
that they would find no difficulty in
doing their work.
Many have declared that, especially
In the light of the present situation.
the plane should Immediately be
adopted by the navy. They say IL
could be brought to a high state OF
efficiency within a, short period of
time.

will be made at Palm Beach, the
headquarters OF the unit.

tions.
