CLOSE ROCK CREEK
T0BATHERS UNTIL
WATER IS CLEARED
Cox Sheriff. Says Chlori.
nation No Longer
Effective.
SOURCE OF DISEASE
Work Will Be Rushed in
Connecting Md. Towns
With City Drainage.

o. Bathing in Rock Creek is prohib-
ited until further notice. by an
order issued by Col. Clarence o.
sherrill. superintendent Of public
buildings and grounds, yesterday.
The order states that "the action
Is being taken because of the in
sanitary condition of the water.
which is so serious that IL cannot
be corrected by any possible means
Of chlorination."
HTThe neighboring Maryland towns
OF Wondmont and Kensington use
Rock Creek to empty their sewage,
and because of this have made It
unsafe for bathing. 1t is expected
that IN the near future the sewage
pipes of these towns will be con-
nected with those of the District.
IN report submitted to Col.
Sheriff. by Maj. W. p. Baker. Of the
Army Medical Corps, the following
Is pointed out: Recently the water
in the creek is noted to have dimin-
ished considerably IN volume and
flow. and at the same time a higher
degree of pollution of the stream
with sewage has been found. The
chlorine used to counteract the
germs introduced through sewer
pipes will not penetrate the unusu-
ally great mass of matter lately dis
covered. and IL is not safe to in
crease the amount OF cleansing
chemical"
The report recommends that "in
view of the above. bathing in the
creek should be prohibited until such
time as II may be resumed with
safety. The children who bathe
there are at a susceptible age for
water-borne diseases, and they are
continually getting water into their
mouths and spraying 1t around"
officials say the step was taken in
the interests OF the children, and
theyin no way wish to curtail their
pleasures. They urge the use of
the Bathing Beach. which. it is as
serted. lis safe, and where no charge
is made for children under 16 years
of age" ]. B. Gordon, sanitary en-
glneer of the District, said that his
estimate for projects to be COM
pleted in 1924 would include an in
tercsptor sewer to stop the use Of
Rock Creek as a sewage disposal
place

Marshall Is Still
Looking for That
Good5-Cent Cigar

Washington. Oct. 20.-Thomas Riley
Marshall, former vice president of the
United States, now back in govern
mental harness as a member of the
coal fact finding commission, after a
vacation since March 4, 1921. is still
looking for that good 5 cent cigar.
II never have found it, sighed the
sage of the Wabash today. I've
travelled lots of miles and probably
remarked that what this country
needed was a good 5 cent cigar, but
it IS still elusives
The former vice president pulled
thoughtfully on cigar that cost Is
cents.
You know" he said, that remark
of mine has been wholly misinter-
preted. What meant by saying that
what this country needed was a good
cent cigar was this: We, all of US
should quit living SO high. Trouble is
that for the last few years we have
all been advocating industry and
thrift for our neighbors, while we
continued to live high.
Work and save is all right for
the other fellow, but it loses some of
its attraction when personally applied.
1.-The 5 cent cigar was what you re-
porting fellows call figure of speech
for getting down to earth. buckling
down to thrift and work"
Haven't circumstances pretty much
caused people to do that?" he was
asked.
'I haven't noticed it," was his dry
rejoinder. you'll notice that every
American must have his flivver these
days.
s.'This country still needs that same
old 5 cent cigar"

proprietor of a home brew outfit and
several bottles of liquor found in the
, basement of the house when it was
raided by the sheriff's forces last
summer. Jones claims ne bought the
commodation. Zeigler admitted pay
| ing for them, but said he was merely
| loaning the money to Jones because
the latter was broke and had to raise
some money to pay for bond. About
| this time the two negroes put up a
stove in the house, altho they had
been without one all winter, and it
was now coming spring. But Zeigler
asserted they merely put it up ito
keep warm.' Each witness under
