The Bath Tub Past and Present


The Boston Herald. to which Ida
Porter Bayer contributes the follow
ing heads it: Can This Be True
LAS a little contribution to the
gayety anent the bath tub discus
sion, how accurate is the bit of his
tory copied from New York daily
some years ago?
1.-THE first American bath-tub was
installed Dec. 20, 1912, in Cincinnati,
by Adam Thompson. 1t was made OF
mahogany and lined with sheet lead.
AT Christmas party he gave an ex-
hibition of its use, and four guests
later took 4 plunge. The next day
the Cincinnati papers discussed the
new invention in columns of printed
matter and violent controversy was
provoked. Some papers designated it
an epicurean luxury. others as I'M
democratic as it lacked simplicity
in surroundings. Medical authorities
attacked it as dangerous to health,
certain inviter of phthisic. rheuma-
tism, fevers and Inflammation of the
lungs. The controversy soon reached
other cities and in more than one
place medical opposition was reflected
in legislation. Late in 1S43 the Phil
adelphia common council considered
an ordinance prohibiting bathing be-
tween Nov. l and March Is. and the
ordinance failed of passage by but
two votes. During the same year the
Legislature of Virginia laid a tax of
$40 a year on all bath tubs that might
be set up. In Hartford. Providence,
Charleston aud Wilmington, Del. spe-
cial and very heavy rates were laid
on people, who had bath-tubs. Bos-
ton early in 1S45, made bathing I'M
lawful except on medical advice. but
the ordinance was never enforced and
in 1852 1t was repealed.
president Willard Fillmore gave
the bath-tub recognition and respec-
liability While President he
visited Cincinnati. in 1850, and in
spected the original bath-tub, and
used it. Experiencing no i'll effects
he became an ardent advocate, and
on becoming President he had a
bath-tub installed in the White
House. The secretary of state in
vited bids for the installation. This
tub continued to be used until the
first Cleveland administration"

New Golf Grass.

Golf grass to make golf balls bounce
better on the putting green and the fair
ways has been developed by the bureau
of plant industry of the United States
agricultural department. Creeping bent
is the grass which has been found to fur
nish the ideal turf for the devotees of the
Scotch game, says an article prepared
by Science Service The use of this grass
has been fought by the seed men because
is not raised from seed,
The ideal golf link covering is a run
ming, jointed grass, which sends down
roots from each joint, thus forming a
thick mat, resistent to wear and drought.
The method of planting is TO cut up these
roots in chopping box and SOW them
like seed, but covered somewhat deeper:
In this way. a more uniform color and
texture is obtained than from grasses
raised from seed.
Creeping bent is an importation from
Germany with which the agricultural
department has been experimenting for
FIVE years. 1t is cultivated in rows six
rect apart and spreads rapidly. 4 hun
bred feet of a row is sufficient to SOW an
entire golf course. Last year 115 golf
courses were supplied in this way and
the demand is increasing.

FLORIDA's CITRUS CROP.
Government Puts Gain on Fruit Output
at 15,00O, 900 Boxes.

Production of citrus fruits in Florida
for the year 1922-23 season is estimated
at 15,000,000 boxes by the United States
department of agriculture. OF this to-
tai about 100000 viii be of oranges
and tangerines and G,600,000 of grape
fruit An early forecast of the Cali
fornia orange crop made Aug. 1 is 3D.
100000 boxes The commercial citrus
crop of Florida last season was approx
mately 13,30O,000 boxes, of which
z 100000 boxes were oranges and G,OO0,-
600 boxes of grapefruit.
Outstanding features of this seasons
crop are the fine quality and size OF
fruit from early bloom and the heavy
setting of fruit from late bloom. Bloom
last spring was heavy all over the citrus
belt except in the storm-swept territory
on the west coast, where large quantl-
ties of the fruit were destroyed in Octo-
ber Dry weather followed, with consid-
cradle shedding of fruit, which became
serious along the east coast ridge and
in parts of the central highland section.
Beginning in May and extending
through June this year, virtually the en-
tire citrus belt put on the heaviest late
,bloom the state has ever seen. With ia
yorable weather conditions. heavy set
ting of late fruit followed The condi-
ton in most groves is therefore a light
to fairly good crop of fruit from early
bloom. which is showing unusual size
Hand ripenlng somewhat earlier than
usual. On the same trees is crop from
late bloom, filling up the loss from she'd
ding last spring and showing every pros
pect of swelling the total shipments next
spring and early summer.
BY sections, the heaviest increase in
production over last year is expected on
the central highland ridge, especially
through the eastern part of Polk county
and the north end of Highland county.
,South of the ridge, through parts of
Hardec and De Soto counties. produc-
ton may fall slightly under last year
since this section did not develop a good
late bloom. The stOrm-swept territory
of which Pinellas county was the CEN
ter. will ship about as much fruit as IT
did last year. Further up the west
coast an increase of 10 TO 10 per cent
is in sight. The lower west coast will
run ahead of last season, principally on
oranges. most of the fruit being from
early bloom. The east coast shows an
average increase of five 10 10 per cent
over last season. with fairly light crops
on the ridge and full crop in the back
country.
Production of tangerines is estimated
at 10 per cent of last year. Prospects
are excellent. with trees full of fruit.
Production of lines will be slightly heav-
Ter than for last year.

MINISTER'S SPEAK.
Continued from Page One.)

lit is q we'll known fact that an effort
is being made in Washington to change
the complexion of the United States sen
ate so that the 18th amendment may be
removed or the NolStead act changed.
The time has come for people to take a
stand for temperance and stand for those
candidates that uphold temperance. 1t
is time for US tO question where the can
didates for public office stand Every man
in office who is not in favor of temper
aHce and temperance legislation is a men
uC". We made a great step in advance
when we added the 18th amendment 10
the constitution and every American
ought to resist the efforts oeIng made to
push the country back"
These and other statements equally as
forceful were made by Rev. DIR. Clark T.
BrOwnell, pastor of the First Baptist
church at the regular Sunday evening
service last night DIR. Brownelps sub
iect was A Live Issue, this subject being
selected from the text of the Both chapter
of Jeremiah as follows: ...
And ! set before the sons of the
house of the Rechabites pots full of wine.
and cups, and l said unto them, Drink
We wine"
But they said We will drink no
wine for Jonadab the son of Rechab.
our father. commanded us, saying. Yc
shall drink TO wine, neither We nor your
sons forever"
De- Brownell said that the question of
temperance was sometimes said to be q
dead issue because of past legislation. He
said that the 18th amendment was passed
after similar state amendments had been
passed bv "a states in the Union. Reia-
tive TO its passage, the speaker contin-
ued
1T is said that this amendment was
,iropncd suddenly on the country while
the American soldiers were in Europe.
Yet, there is the fact that 81 states had
passed their amendments before the de-
narture of our soldiers TO foreign soil.
IT il Il fallacy that the American soldier
j. opposed to temperance. for we know
the homes and families that the soldier
f1meS from and we know how these fam
lies stand on this question.
'Some say that the 18th amendment
WAS passed unlawfully as il was passed
hv the senate and not by the people.
Amendments to the constitution are
made by the senate and not by the ne0-
nile in accordance with the constitution.
hence 1t was passed with regularity.
Speaking of the results that have been
accomplished by the passage of the
amendment DIR. Brownen said: THE
closing of the breweries and the distill-
cries forced them into productive and not
unpToductive employment. We find that
more peonle ore owning their homes. saw
ings in the hanks have increased nearly
one million dollars and the rank and file
of the people have prosnered.' ....
