If the medical profession makes as
much progress in the future as 1t has
in the past, fifteen years can be added
to the average span of human ire
DR.. George NJ. Kober. dean of the
medical school of Georgetown Uni
versiSy, declared in a lecture yester-
day afternoon at the New National
Museum. DR.. Kober's talk was the
first of a series arranged for the
Washington public by the Woman's
Welfare Association.
Many diseases which destroy hu-
man life both in early and late stages,
and which keep the average span. in
the United States at least, to fifty :
six years. are being fathomed. DR.. Ko-
Der pointed out, which was one of the
reasons he advanced for his belief
that the longevity average could be
increased. He said the battle for
tuberculosis is half won; that typhoid
fever is virtually conquered. and that
chronic diseases. such as heart fall
ure. apopleXy, etc, are known to have
their roots in infected teeth. tonsils
and adenoids.
Emphasizes Medical Strides.
DR. Kober emphasized the advances
made in medicine by recalling the
life span in the sixteenth century. AT
that time. he said. 1t was between

THE SWIMMING POOL.

Now comes some talk about the proposed swimming pool that seems possible of producing results satis- factory to most people. This news paper has commented in the past on the joys the smaller children find in the wading pool on Walnut Hill park. We urged that arrangements be made for places where the young ones could prepare for their dip, and tents were provided. Tn the beautiful fu- ture, when the park commissioners have lot of money, pretty pavilion is planned which will not mar the beauty of the spot but which will provide a permanent place for this purpose.
 Now 1t Is proposed to deepen the pool in one part so that it will be a real swimming pool, leaving part of it safe for the smallest children. This plan strikes one as feasible if one matter is kept in mind in making any change in the pool at the top of Wal nut Hill park. That pool has furnish ed pleasure for hundreds of little children each summer. Absolutely nothing should be done to take that pleasure from the children who are small The older ones should not be allowed to usurp the pool-as they would do if given a chance. The pool should still remain a place where the tiny ones can wade safely, and where the aged sister of ten years may take little brother of five into the water under her protecting arm. If the pool can be deepened in one portion to give older children a real swimming pool without taking anything from the ntfle ones whose pet spot it is, let that

CITY PLAN COMMISSION.

The charter or New Britain pro vides for a city plan commission Under the terms of the charter said commission can not spend any of tho city's money. unless specifically ap' propriated and can't bind the city ts anything unless it is 50 authorized hs the common council, Hut 1t has lo' of duties. IL must inquire into ''all conditions relating to traffic streets. transportation and freight facilities. trolley lines. parks. housing plans and other kindred matters: also as to the direction and character oi the clty's probable future development and growth. as to the territory and population. and industrially and tc prepare and recommend 10 the com. mon council city plan or plans GOV. ering the above subjects So the city plan commission has a lot to do. you see-with no power to make It's deeds effective.
 And the common councils treat. ment of the city plan commission i; provided for, too. ''The common council shall refer zo said plan com mission all questions concerning the location of any public building. street highway park. square or other mat ter within the purview of this act for consideration of said commission and for report before final action is taken thereon and said city plan commission shall reasonably report the same back to the common council with its rec omendations concerning the same and thereupon the common council may take action in the premesis.'
 So the common council has to refer these matters to the city plan com mission and the common council can not act until the commission has re- ported. Well the commission cant act on something not before it.
 Now a stirring up" of the city plan commission Is desired How about Stirring up" of the common council. The city plan commission has practically no power--certainly little power until some matter is re- ferred to it from the common council, There may have been some matters referred to 1t by said august body. but few of them are remembered. It would be interesting to find out just when the city plan commission was given authority to Srecommend any thing about a majority of the public buildings here.
 It is we'll to call for action in this important matter such as the future growth of the city, the location of its public buildings and its parks. but commissions or people are not in- clined to act when they have no practical power ahd when they are practically ignored by the common council.

SAND-LOT GOLF

The eminent authority Walter Camp has written of the advantages of golf | for all the people, that it must be 1 made less expensive so that people of moderate means will be able to afford it, and he has shown ways in which this may be done. It may be said in passing that the game itself is not ex- pensive. The construction of the golf course and it's upkeep is expensive, however, as links are now built and kept up.
 Today a lover of golf may feel sure that the first signs of the future pop ularity of golf have appeared. sand lot" golf is being played by the boys. Out on the old Pioneer baseball field the youngsters may be seen often, driving the golf ball from the high spots and playing out of the natural bunkers there. Now that the game has been taken up by the boys it's fu- ture is assured, for the fascination of the game has made 1t survive all sorts of ridicule from those who do not know of that fascination.
 A lover of baseball hesitates to pre- dict that golf will take baseball's place in this country. Sincerely 1t is hoped that it will not do this, nor should 1t. No game can usurp the place baseball holds in the hearts of the people of the United States. But there is de- cided place for golf. too, and skilled baseball players do not hesitate to de- clare their affection for this newer game. The boys of today who are
