Dr.. Fowler to Probe Sanitary
Conditions of Potomac

Water, Food and Lavatories to Be
Examined-Trains Also Will
Be Watched.
PASSENGER PROTECTION

Inspection of all steamboats, that
ply the Potomac to determine whether
they are in sanitary condition was
ordered today by Health Officer Will
liam c. Fowler.
While there may be no conditions
to correct, the health officer believes
his office should exercise the same
supervision over excursion boats and
passenger steamers that 1t keeps over
public places on land.
Water First Object.
One of the first steps of the health
inspectors will be to take samples Of
water from the drinking places on the
boats and test them in the city
laboratories. Samples of water also
will be taken from the drinking
fountains on electric trains operating
into the District. The health depart
ment for several years has been keep
ing watch on the drinking water used
on steam railroad trains.
The second step of the inspectors
assigned to the steamboats, will be
to examine the lavatories to find out
II the city regulations applying to
these places are being observed. The
Investigators also will inspect the
kitchens of boats on which food is
served. the health officer being of the
opinion that food sold on boats should
be protected with as much care as
in lunchroomS throughout the city.
Probes Soda Fountains.
In conjunction with this inquiry
into conditions on the boats and cleo
trict trains, DR.. Fowler launched a
vigorous campaign this week to en-
force the regulation requiring soda
fountains and soft drink parlors to
sterilize glasses every time they are
used.
Since Monday charges have been
filed by inspectors against the pro-
prietors of twenty-four establish
ments for alleged failure to observe
the sterilization law.
The soda glass has gradually given
way to the wax-paper cup since the
sterilization regulation was written,
but there still are many places using
glasses and silver mugs. Both the
glasses and mugs must be sterilized
after each cutomer.

mittee that the housing situation will
improve greatly within the next year,
due, in large part, to the fact that the
government Is planning to get rid Of
many of its present employees. The
committee believed that 1t would be
more advisable to have the rent act go
out of operation in May than to put 1t
off until October, 1922.
The committee also decided to have
inserted in the proposed amendment to

ployment of counsel to represent the

UNFAIR TO REAL HEROES

Thousands OF ex-seFvice men, now
enjoying government compensation un-
der the guise Of disability. but who are
in reality able to carry on as efrec-
lively as they did before entering the
service are on the verge Of losing this
government aid.
The American Legion has instituted
a concerted drive to take this compen-
sation away from these professional
disabled men," as they are termed, and
turn the funds in the direction Of
worthy cases. according to Albert G.
Ham, director Of the American Legion
service bureau here.
It has come to the attention Of the
service bureau, in its investigations,
that there are a great number Of men
who. by fair means or foul, have sue
ceeded in obtaining for themselves
compensation for schooling and others
who have succeeded in keeping them
selves under the care OF hospitals, ac-
cording to Director Ham.

The local service bureau was estab-
lished for the purpose Of aiding
worthy men to get quick action on
Just claims before the government,

Mr.. Haan pointed out that the Amer

the legfonnaires, as wen as any ex-
service man. but it will, not fight for
the consideration of q case where the

Some Of them were indicted into
