INVESTIGATING SUICIDE WAVE
Public Health Service Takes Up In
uuiry Into Poison Sales.

The frequency Of suicide by poison
has provoked the public health service
to undertake a nationwide investiga-
ton of the conditions under which poi
sons get into the hands of those who
would destroy themselves. The appar-
ent ease with which poisons may be OBJ
tanned from drug stores and other
sources may become the subject of pro-
posed regulative legislation under sug-
gestion of the public health service.
Surgeon George w. Mccoy. in charge
of the hygienic laboratory of the serv-
ice in Washington, is directing the in
vestigation. He had addressed COM
munications to responsible officials of
large communities asking for data on
suicides. He explains the object as an
effort to follow up and record the num-
Der Of individuals who seek self-im-
posed death through deadly poisons.
Conceiving that poisons are too cas-
lily purchasable by the public. the fed
eral government is expected to take
some steps to prevent such fndiscrfmi-
nate sale by stringent regulation of the
traffic.

NATIONAL PAGEANT
|SBROWN[OW PLAN
District Commissioner Would
Have Big Affair Here
in May, 1918.
EXPECTS STATES TO JOIN

\ great national pageant here in May,
1918, with all the states participating,
is the proposal of Commissioner Louis
Brownlow. This pageant is proposed
to be one of the greatest displays ever
held in the United States. to be in
natural amphitheater. where more than
1OO. 900 persons could be seated. 1t
would not be in the nature of parade,
but as a panorama of all that has made
this country great-a slowly moving
tableau drama of the history, the in
dustry, the progressive zeal, the coop
Grafton of industries and states, Of
communities and institutions that nave
built up this great nation. The great
est artists of the day. the students OF
history, the patriotic organizations and
the machinery of modern progress
would all cooperate to show the world
this Unions picture of itself.
That there are several natural set
tines about the capital where such a
living picture of the nation could be
staged is the belief of Commissioner
Brownlow and others with whom he
has been in conference. For instance,
there is a natural theater. he says, at
the Brightwood reservoir that could
seat as many spectators as would De
here to attend.

Objects to Elimination.

1t is complained that the commission
eliminated certain real estate belong
ing to the company, and valued at
$4,000. on the claim that the property
was not actually in use for the COM
pany's business. and that the present
day patron should not be required to
pay a higher rate in order to defray
the expense of such investment.
The company says this property is
needed for the future demands of its
business or in preparation for a site in
the event its stables near the District
building should be condemned for gov
ernment use.
The claim also is made by the COM
pany that it is allowed by the commits
sion only $500 for working capital.
when in its opinion $1,000 is necessary.

Idea Grows on Him, He Says.

Commissioner Brownlow pointed out
that this idea has been growing on him
during his association in plans for
turning the inaugural parade into
pageant He is chairman of special
committee that has been considering
the advisability and practicability of
such an inaugural feature. While MS
committee is still working along that
line and is hopeful of thus making the
inaugural parade more picturesque,
Commissioner Brownlow has been i'm
pressed by the fact that real pageant
depicting the growth and greatness of
the United States. should be arranged
in the National CAPITAL, to which every
one of the forty eight states could con-
tribute.
He feels that any such stupendous
work should be the work of at least
year for preparation with the hope
that it might become a great American
institution to be repeated at regular
interval of years. He thinks that both
the shortness of time and the season
of the year are unpropitious for hold
ing such a pageant at the inaugural
period. For this reason he has sug-
gested that the United States start
preparations now for such gigantic
spectacle to be presented in May, 1918.
Pageant of Several Days.
As plans for such pageant develop
it may be found that there will be a
vast amount of picturesque dramatiza-
ton and tableau. In an inaugural
display this would have to be limited
to certain number of hours. but if
great national festival is arranged
for a year in advance it will be pos
sible If developing plans point the
advisability of having the pageant pro-
gram extend for several days
Many prominent Washingtonians have
advised Commissioner Brownlow that
they are enthusiastic for such a
spectacle here, and similar Endorsement
of the proposition has come from
leaders in pageantry woSk all over the
country who have BEEN in conference
with Commissioner Brownlow since he
has been chairman of the inaugural
pageant committee

bewhiskered notion that the play
ground is primarily for street urchins
has no foundation in fact. The estab-
1ishment of the Wilcox playground has
shown completely the need for such an
institution in high class residential

that IL has neither swimming pool nor
