District, made the discovery a few
days ago while looking over the
original plans for the city. District
building officials are gratined that
Congress unwittingiy fulnlied de-
signs OF the French officer. while they
are following out L'Enfant's plans to
make Washington "the city beauti-
full"
1t was originally intended to build
the hospital on a site which the Gov
ernment now owns and which Is used
in part as the tuberculosis Hospital
IL was pointed out that this site was
best adapted to the needs OF a mu
nicipal hospital
RESIDENTS ENTER PROTEST..
When the plans became known,
residents in the vicinity of Fourteenth
and Upshur streets northwest made
emphatic protest against the erec-
ton OF a municipal hospital. insisting
that IL would injure property. They
carried their night to Congress. with
the result that Congress changed the
plans. and made an appropriation for
the building OF the hospital. stipu-
lating that IL be built on reservation
13. which is the present site OF the
Jail and Washington Asylum Hospital.
The erection of municipal hos
pital for Washington will be the re-
suit of a twenty-year fight on the
part of the Board of Charities and
the District Commissioners. One of
hrst recommendations OF the present
Board OF Charities when 1t was or
ganzed was to advocate a municipal
hospital, where the INDECENT and
chronic patients OF the District who
were unable to pay for medical treat
ment could beosent. At first the plan
was opposed by some who believed
the private hospitals OF the city,
which were receiving appropriations
from Congress, could properly care
for all the sick of the city

ing was erected as a poor house for
the District. 1t outgrew it's useful
ness and for years has been used as
a hospital, because there has been
no other place to send patients. There
are many cases which private hos
pitfalls do not care to receive. This Is
especially true of lunacy. The pres
ence of insane persons in a hospital
always is source Of annoyance to
other patients: especially when
the former are Of the violent type.

hospitals in the city, became violent,

Gus incidents OF this kind during the
course OF the year.
Owing TO the number of such cases.
ID 10 the plan OF the District su-
thorities TO erect the nrst group OF
lhree buildings for this class OF
patients. The present building Where
they are housed does not permit the
separation OF the various kinds OF
cases, and all the hospital officials
have been able to do Is to divide the
mild cases from the violent ones. In
the new buildings. the officials plan
10 have the patients separated into
about eight groups.
"The erection OF the Gallinger
Municipal Hospital IL one OF the mile
stones In the history OF the District"
said George s. Wilson, secretary of
the Board of Charities.
The first appropriation for the
new municipal hospital was made by
Congress in June. 1900. at the request
of the Board OF Charities. The Com
missioners obtained a site In the VI
cinity OF Georgia avenue and Four
teenth street, consisting of about

new hospital was held. and Frank

were adjudged the winners.
NO MONEY FOR BUILDING.
No money was appropriated for the
building of a hospital, however, on
account of the protests against the
erection of a municipal hospital. IL
was contended that the Washington
Asylum could take care OF all patients.
which the private hospitals would not
handle. In keeping with these pro-
tests, Congress from time to time ap-
propriated money to build additions
to the Washington Asylum.
a The hospitals OF Washington, how
ever, did not relish the admittance of
tubercular patients and worked with
the Board OF Charities to have
tuberculosis hospital erected. An ap-
preparation was finally granted by
Congress in 1905 providing 100000
to erect and equip a hospital for the
INDECENT tubercular of the District"
The appropriation made 1t mandatory
that the building be built on the site
owned by the District at Fourteenth
and Upshur streets.
In 1914 Congress appropriated
$4,000 to pay for detailed plans and
specifications for a hospital on the
site adjoining the tuberculosis Hos
pital. When the residents OF that
section again complained Congress
did not appropriate money for the
building.
WAR BLOCKED PROJECT.
In 1916 Congress appropriated $780,
900 for the construction OF a Munich
pal Hospital, with the authorization
to draw on the Treasury for an ad-
ditional $3.50, 900. The war began and
the cost OF materials began to ad-
vance. 1t was decided to wait for
a while until prices came down.
In 1919 another 100000 was ap-
propriated to erect the hospital. but
il was soon learned that little II any
thing could be done with such small
appropriation. This year Congress
placed the limit of 81 500. 900 on the
building OF hospital, and with this
sum a first-class hospital can be
built.
1t is the intention OF the Commits
sioners to ask for bids Immediately
and the work of building the founda-
tions will begin in a short time.

NOW HOUSE CHICKENS

PARIS, June 15.-The apartment
house chicken yard is the latest thing
in Paris.
Owing to the high price Of eggs
hundreds of Parisians have adopted
the scheme of keeping chickens in
their apartments. Every morning
they take them for an airing, and it
has become no uncommon sight to

strutting before her, tied to her wrist
by a ribbon or silken leach.

BY vote % 81 to IS, yesterday.
the electors decided to incorporate
as a town. This will enable them to
have street lights, fire protection,
pavements, and sewers and taxes for
them.
BENEFITS OF INCORPORATION.
Authority, including that OF taxa
ton, is conferred by an act passed at
the last general assembly of Mary
land. 1t permits levy of not more
than % cents on 500 for improve
ments. The town will also be entitled
to the county road rebate fund to be
used in improving roadways within
the corporate limits.
At the offices of yhe RiverdaIe Park
Company, which is building about 200
houses in the town limits, the new
organization was declared to be Of
incalculable benefit to the town. An
official said that highway lighting
under the county system had not been
what a growing community needed,
and that while there was--a small
chemical engine in the community,
lack of Incorporation had prevented
proper organization for the main
tenance and equipment of a fire COM
pany.

it ought to grow" said the official
who answered the telephone this
morning What the town needed
was a corporate existence so that st
could plan improvements in reg
ular way as the people in town saw
they were needed"
OLD FOLKS sKEPTICAL.
Among the older inhabitants, who

population of Riverdsle, the result OF
the election is viewed with some mis-
givings.

used, and property built up for purely
residential purposes Is treated some

Gray, Faded Hair with
Sage Tea

Grandmother kept her hair beauti-
fully darkened, glossy and attractive
with brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur.
Whenever her hair took on that dull,
faded or streaked appearance, this
simple mixture was applied with Won
derful effect. By asking at any drug
store for "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur
Compound" you will get large bot
tie of this old-time recipe, improved
by the addition Of other ingredients,
all ready to use, at very little cost.
This simple mixture can be depended
upon to restore natural color and
beauty to the hair.
A well-known downtown druggist
says everybody uses Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Compound now because it
darkens so naturally and evenly that
nobody can tell it has been applied
it's so easy to use, too. You simply
dampen a comb or soft brush and
draw it through your hair, taking one
strand at a time. By morning the
gray hair disappears; after another
application or two, it is restored to it's
natural color and looks glossy, soft
and beautiful.

FAKE COLLECTORS
MAKE EFFORT TO
PLY TRADE HERE
Public Warned Against Pay
ing Strangers Money.

The public is warned to be ON
their guard against bogus eollee-
tors, men claiming to represent Ger.
tain stores and protesting to have
the accounts of patrons of these
stores. 1t develops that within the
past few days two men, one middle
aged and the other rather young,
have called at the homes of some
mill girls and threatened them with
the law unless the claims were paid.
Whether they have succeeded OF
not Is matter OF conjecture, but
every one is urged not to recognize
any collector without the proper
credentials. Yesterday a girl called
at a certain store and asked why a
bill for $50 had been sent her. stat
ing that two collectors had called on
her. AS matter of fact she did not
owe the bill and the merchant does
not send out collectors with his ac-
counts. He says two men, alleging
themselves to be department Of
justice agents. came to his store
and looked over his accounts. The
presumption is they were takers
and adopted this method of ascer-
tanning a few names Of debtors in
the hope Of taking them out Of
some money.
