STEPS TO Be TAKEN
! TO ENLARGE BEACH
Congress Probably Will Get
Request to Appropriate
$4,000 for Work.

Congress probably will be requested
at its special session beginning next
month to provide an appropriation for
enlarging the tidal basin bathing
beach. Maj. Ridley. in charge of the
Office of public buildings and grounds,
which exercises control over the
basin. stated today enlargement Of
the beach is necessary and that an
appropriation for the work will be
sought either at the special session
or the extra session of Congress in De-
cember, with chances favoring the
earlier request. 1t is estimated the i'm
provement will cost $25,0O0.
While the basin is said to be
polluted with sewerage carried in the
river, it is the opinion of Maj Ridley
there is also danger Of infection from
overcrowding on the beach, He-pro-
poses to curtail attendance this year
and enlarge the facilities as rapidly
as possible.
The office of public buildings and
grounds now has available a fund of
100000 for an addition to the women's
wing of the bath house and other
improvements. Maj. Ridley said today
effort would be made to use a part
or this fund in extending the beach,
which now has a length of $50 feet.
Maj. Ridley believes it should be
heightened to 500 feet
According to Maj. Ridley, the con-
dltlon of the water in the basin will
be watched constantly by the public
heaith service and should serious
pollution be discovered steps will be
taken to safeguard the public. Asa 70.

that of the Wilson administration. ii

How Apparatus Works.
"A special heart transmitter has
been designed which rests by it's own
weight over the patients heart" said
Gen. Squier, in describing the appara-
tus. THE passage of the blood
through the different valves of the
heart causes vibrations in an air cham
ber which faithfully reproduces all
of the various actions. These are
transmitted over the wire to an am
plifying apparatus attached to a large
horn. which projects the sounds
