FOR BETTER CITIZENS
THRU OUT THE NATION

Principal H. L. Hussong has care
fully explained the terms of enlist
ment for Military training at Fort
Douglas to the High school youths Of
this city.
Boys over the age of II are within
the age limit for the training which
will be given from June 22th, to July
ii, 1924. The war department has
made arrangements for the expense
accounts as all reimbursements are
provided for the students, including
their railroad fare, to and from the
Camp, and their lodging and board.
This training will give the boys a
form of exercises that strengthen,
and develop all muscles, as well as to
afford sufficient amusement to make
their stay interesting.
Professor Hussong has solicited the
aid of Rev. Brock, G. r. Schmidt,
and DR.. Koehn to speak to the assemb-
ly Of students, and as all enlistments
are in the hands Of DR.. Koehn, he has
reported ten boys having given their
names up to present date.

POL|CEPREVENT
ROCK CREEK
BATHING
Danger of Disease Pointed
Out-Water Polluted
by Sewage

Members Of the park police force
are working overtime these hot DAYS
TO Keep bathers out of Rock creek.
Lieutenant Colonel Sheriff., officer
In charge Of public buildings and
grounds, has ruled that no bathing
shall be permitted because of the
insanitary condition of the water.
until the sewer mains connecting
Maryland suburbs with the District
system are completed,
Wading is allowed in certain rarts
OF the creek, and signs are being
put up to designate those sections
In which 1t is permitted. Warnings
are scattered throughout the park
prohibiting swimming, however. and
the order is being enforced rjpidlv
by the police, under the direction Of
Captain McMorris.
The necessity for the ruling arose
Wnen 1t was discovered the water Of
the creek was being polluted by
sewage which was emptied from the
Maryland towns. For two years the
department allowed swimming be.
cause they were able to combat the
contamination with chlorine treat
! ment, but 1t has become so danger.
NSeO SAAINS ONOl SAAOt WILL HOI
An analysis Of the water has showed
impurities that would cause skin
| diseases.
An intercepting sewer is now be-
ing constructed by the District,
which will take up the drainage from
Maryland, but 1t is impossible to de-
termine when the work will be com.
pleted to the District line, at which
point the Maryland sewers will con-
meet with it.
With the appropriation Of $780,
for the current year. it will be only
possible to complete approximately
$500 feet of the sewer. bringing it
to Beach drive and Kalmia road.
This will leave about three.quarters
Of mile to be built before reach
ing the District line, requiring an
additional appropriation Of about
SIS, 900.
Park police, in pointing out the
dangers of disease fro% Rock Creek,
admit also that there is some danger
from even wading, parAularly If
the wader sustains a cut which will
permit germs to enter the skin. In
! such cases the victim is advised to
administer first-aid treatment, with
iodine or similar disinfectant, or to
go to the first-aid station at Mill.
