CITIZENS TOPETIfION
| FOR POOL PRIVILEGES
Uptown Residents Want to Use Gen.
tral Elish Swimming Facilities. Z

Opening OF the Central High
School swimming pool for the use
of Mount Pleasant and Petworth
residents is the subject of a petit
tion now in the process of prepare
tion in that part OF the city.
Citizens living in the vicinity OF
Mount Pleasant, and Petworth, are
placed at great Inconvenience in the
matter Of bathing pools, and Il is
understood that the citizens OF
these sections are about to petition
the Fairgrounds department for
opening OF the pool of Central High
School during the summer months
for their use.
No objection would be raised to
such an arrangement by Mrs. Susie
Root Rhodes, supervisor OF play
grounds of the District, who de-
clared recently that she was in IA
vor Of any action which would give
the benefit Of I. all public facilities
ito all the citizens of the neighbor-
hood in which they are located.
Repairs have been made to the pool
in Central High School and the
work OF making 1t perfect for use
during the coming winter Is prac-
tically finished.
II the bathing movement gains
force in the two sections which
would be benefited. II is practically
certain that the authorities would
look with favor on the request to
open the high school pool
In an interview with Mrs. Rhodes,
the impression was gained that the
Fairgrounds association would take
up the matter OF building "a new
pool in the Mount Pleasant district
with the District Commissioners
should there be voiced great de-
mand for the location Of a pool in
that section.

Every American Soldier
Will Be Card Indexed

Every soldier in the American
army is going to be card-indexed.
His name, address. next of kin,
description, location and rank will
be on the white slip which will
be filed away in the steel case.
A filing division is to be organized
in the War Department, with a
branch in Paris.
Plans have been completed for
this statistical division and it will
be organized as soon as Congress
appropriates the money for which
provision is made in the general
deficiency bill.
The department. incidentally has
abandoned the plan for numbering
every soldier for naturalization
purposes. Instead indentification
tags giving his name and company
will be supplied to be worn around
his neck, as at present.
