Health Officer Will Wage War
On Dealers Violating
D. c. Standards.

Meat markets in this city are to be
subjects OF a rigid investigation.
Dealers found selling meat that does
not comply with standards Of the
District Health Department, will be
prosecuted, DR.. William F. Fowler,
District Health Officer, said today.
On several occasions during the
past week, DR.. Fowler states, the
sanitary force has discovered deal
ers selling meat that is mot fit for
the public to eat" A special force
OF Investigators has been assigned to
this work, and markets will be visit
ed each day and evening.
During the past week, DR.. r. r.
Ashworth, chief food inspector, has
discovered four dairy farmers in
Maryland and Virginia selling water
ed milk. As soon as the circum-
stances were brought to the atten-
ton OF DR.. Fowler, he summoned the
farmers to his office.
A conference was held yesterday
morning. Several OF the men were

time, DR.. Ashworth says. Dairy farm

so much milk on hand they have been

CITYPLAYGROUNDS
INADEQUATE, CLAIM
10000 Children Forced to
Play in Streets, Mrs.
Rhodes Declares.

There arc 10000 children in WASH
cgton who are forced to use the
streets as Fairgrounds and are daily
in danger OF being run down by auto
mobiles and cars, according to Mrs.
Susie Root Rhodes, supervisor of play
grounds, who advocates an enlarge
ment Of the playground system here.
The Fairgrounds at present are in
adequate to the needs OF the city"
said Mrs. Rhodes today, daily we re-
ceiVe requests from community center
petitions signed by parents asking for
more Fairgrounds. We are doing our
best ia supply the needs.
Grounds Are Loaned.
Our greatest handicap is in being
unable to purchase ground to estah-
lish permanent Fairgrounds. OF the
grounds we control now, more than
four-fifths are loaned b1 persons in
terested in playground If the own
ership changes hands we have little
chance of keeping the grounds.
The situation IL more serious than
il realized. Fairgrounds are q vital
necessity TO Washington. Under the
present plans OF operation we are in
danger daily Of losing any playground
in the city"
Mrs. Rhodes cites two examples,
Gallinger and Mt Pleasant play
grounds. Gallinger was taken over by
the Government. More than 2, 900 child
rem were necessarily forced to play in
the streets. Mt Pleasant will have
to be vacated; 1000 more children
viii play in the streets.
Citisenh Make Pleas.
Efforts Of citizens in Mt. Pleas
ant to keep the Fairgrounds there
have met with partial success. They
have been responsible for postponing
the vacating OF the ground. In the
Of Gallinger, the .citi-
Gems daily make requests of Mrs
Rhodes and the Commissioners.
Washington needs more and NUM-
cipal owned Playground" Is Mrs.
slogan.
Requests have come for Fairgrounds
in every section OF the city. The most |
recent one is Park View, where par
ents have appealed to the Commits
sioners.

Washington yesterday will gather be-
fore their commander. General Neville,
at Quantico, Va, today and they will
be mustered out of service. By to-
night most of the men will be on
their way home, leaving behind them
an indelible mark on the pages OF
history.
The reception given the marching
heroes was probably one of the great.
est home coming welcomes of the war
The marines were paid particular
tribute by Senators and congressman,
and President and Mrs. Wilson showed
their appreciation of the heroic work
of the marines by coming down from
the reviewing stand and shaking
hands with wounded men and nurses.
So great were the crowds at this
point of the parade that the Secret
Service men and the police were hard
taxed to open a lane to the heroEb
through which the distingui/E rs
couple might walk.
Several social functions have been
planned for the Fifth and Sixth regi-
ments OF the marines. a welcome-
home dance will be given at Quantico,
Va. in their honor. and special trains
to and from Washington have been
arranged for the occasion.
