DIR. FOWLER
OPENS WAR
ON SMOKE
Maximum Penalties to Be Asked
For fragrant Violations by
Apartment Houses.

Maximum penalties will be in
flicted on all violators of the smoke
regulations in the District this win
ter. This is the statement made
today by DR.. William G. Fowler,
District health officer, who has
charge of the enforcement.
Not even Government buildings
will be exempt, DIR. Fowler says,
and he will enforce the law to the
limit.
Evil Better Now.
During the war the smoke regula-
ton was winked at, because the
quality Of coal was poor, but now
there is no need for dense clouds OF
smoke, DR.. Fowler says. A close
check will be kept on apartment
houses to see that they do not allow
smoke to pour out of the chimneys
for any great length Of time.
One of the biggest violations Of the
law is said to be the Potomac Electric
Power Company, which has been pay.
ing fines of $40 with great regularity.
DIR. Fowler took up with Commission
err James f. Oyster a few days ago
the question of assessing the maxi
mum penalty against them.
The Potomac Electric Power Com
pany, according to DR.. Fowler, has
found 1t cheaper to pay the fines than
install smoke consumers, but he hopes
that the maximum penalty-$100 for
each violation-will cause the adop-'
ton of some means of preventing
dense clouds of smoke issuing from
its giant smokestacks.
u. s. Buildings Warned.
Some time ago several government
department buildings were charged
with violating the provisions Of the
smoke law and a conference Of super
intendents Of public buildings was
held in the office Of DIR. Fowler. DR..
Fowler warned them that he would
excuse no one.
DIR. Fowler says that recent In
vestigaftion shows that coal now
being delivered in Washington is
Of a good quality.
DIR. Fowler is going to ask the
court to exact more than the mini
mum penalty Of $40 in the cases he
brings before the courts. The de-
cision to strictly enforce the regu-
lation is not due entirely to a de-
sire t. make the city beautiful, DIR.
Fowler says. but also to properly
safeguard the health of the COM
munity.

The failure Of tho District Commits

Major Brown said that It probably

will be made to secure additional
funds from other appropriations.
Bids for two school buildings were
asked within the past two weeks. and
additional bids for six moro structures

SWIMMING MEET AT
BRANDYW|NE POOL
Unusual interest in Aquatic
Sports Set for Tomor-
row Night.

Indications point 70 one Of the big
gest swiu1ing meets that has ever
been seen in Wilmington for Friday
evening at the Brandywine pool. It is
doubtful IL there ever was a summer
when there was more publicity about
swimming and more interest in swim
ming than has been going on during
this season which is about to close.
Entries have been coming in thick
and fast at the swimming pools. Com
munity Service and at the Y. VI. G.
A., and il looks like there will be
some very good competition among
the web footed artists in the four DIFF
ferent classes. Entries hs re also been
received from the Peoples Settlement
and Dfiance Club, and Newport has
entered three men.
An impression has gone around that
IL is to be competition between clubs,
but Director c. Walter Kadel wishes
to make IL clear that it is no club
affair and. that it IS competition only
between individuals entered in their
respective. classes. The principal idea
is to encourage and develop better
swimmers, among the boys and men
and girls and ladies'. by ahording an
opportunity To try themselves out to
see how well they can do when put
to the test. Handsome ribbons win
be awarded for first three places in
each event in each class.
It is likely that more swimming
meets will be held next summer and
a meet between clubs would make il
mighty interesting. There is no doubt
but that such meet viii be worked
up as the interest and enthusiasm is
spreading like wiidhre.
Arrangements have been made to
have seats around the pool and those
who are planning to see the contest
should be there before the meet starts
if they expect to ct a seat. The first
event will be called at 7.30 and all
swimmers are requested to be in the
bathing suits II TBS.

George CLANCY Sends Harry

Second Round.

Philadelphia, August 25.--A fair
sprinkling OF the gentier sex were
among the 10000 fight fans at the
open-air show at the National League
BAH Park last night, and some good
milling was witnessed.
Danny Kramer of Philadelphia and
Charlie lie Doux of France fought "A
slashing eight-round draw TO open the
exhibition.
George CLANCY. the great baltimore
southpaw. and Harry tkid) Brown
were scheduled for the second bout or
in an appearances. Announcer Calhoun
informed the assemblage that Brown $
laxity was occasioned by a fractured
rib. Harry Stone of Boston essayed
the task of carrying Browns burden,
but in the second round CLANCY sent
Stone, burden and all, to the land OF
dreams with a vicious left. Stone was
dragged to his corner like a bag of
wet sand. but a couple of hard-work-
ing attendants brought him around In
time to enjoy the next bout as a
spectator. Thus another of those
subs affairs came to an abrupt end
ing.
Lew Tender brushed another OBJ
stacle out Of his dizzy trail toward the
lightweight crown when he defeated
Sailor Friedman of Milwaukee. He
found a worthy foeman, however, in
the Western lad, who stood the gan
and lost the decision by no wide mar
gin. Lewis tearing, ripping blows to
the body achieved the victory, his at
tack to the body weakening Fried
mans attack. 1t was n wonderful
scrap, with not an idle moment. 1t
was a royal battle and Tender won
because he was faster and husxier,
with his nody-ripping blows. Fried
mans fight won him a host of friends,
and there were a number who felt he
had won.
