Bath With Riffs
Series of SWeats

Quezzan, Oct. 1 (AP)-Taking his
first bath in a native bath-house was
much of a sweat to one of the Amer
lean aviators with the Escadrille OF
the Sheridan guard. Even then he
had to wait until after sunset, when
the Arabs and their women had fin
ished.
1--WE went through a high door
down a short passage, turned to the
left and walked down long, slopins
passage, with high, arched ceiling
turned again to the left and found
ourselves in the undressing room. not
too large, also with high. arched cell
ing, where we left our clothes on a
long bench, the only thing in the
place not dripping wet.
1.-THE flooring everywhere was OF
charmingly colored thing, very slip
perry, and we were assisted over it by
naked Arab. who kept telling us in
his own tongue to be very careful
and not fall. We passed through a
first room, in corner of which was
large square stone fountain with
the sound of running water. Then
through double doors into a bare
room, full of steam, where we stayed
until in quite sweat.
From there we passed into an
even hotter. more steaming room,
where were many huge buckets of
very hot water, in which we washed
and soaped ourselves. When we had
had enough of that, our naked at
tendant threw two or three buckets
OF hot water over each of us, then
another man rushed out to the foun-
tain and fetched bucketful after
bucketful of cold water, which was
also thrown over us. I never had a
finer bath, but one cannot go too Of
ten as it Is fatiguing."

FDetroit's Auto
Industry Means
More Roads Built

Detroit, Oct. 20 (AP)-Detrott
wasn't so much until the automobile
came chugging into the picture. But
just as too much prosperity fire.
quently proves an expensive thing. so
do many officials here suggest that
too many automobiles may spoil the
municipal broth.
Almost everyone in Detroit. 1t
seems, drives. Everyone with a lit
tie as SIS for a first payment is
potential purchaser. Detroit makes
more automobiles than any other
city; two hundred thousand of its
population are employed in automo-
bile factories. They make motor
cars, and they ride in them.
So Detroit's thoroughfares are
choked with machines-flivvers by
the ten thousands, trucks, passenger
cars of every description, jitnies and
motor buses. The automobile in
dustry has made" Detroit. It also
has created serious problems.
Sideways, elevated, wider streets.
stringent parking regulations-ail
have been suggested as panaceas.
Where to put a car Is more or
problem to many than raising the
revenue to buy it. Garage shortages
in many sections, coupled with the
native thrift or penuriousness of
owners, have worked to increase all
night parking at curbs.
There has been evolved what Is
known as the Master Plan," entail
ing an expenditure within the next
Is years of $100,000,000 for new
thoroughfares and the widening Of
many existing arteries.
For two years past street widen
ing has been in progress. but 1t has
not kept up with traffic increase. A
superhighway to bisect the city, pro-
viding a direct east side-west side
thoroughfare, has been approved by
the voters. Yet today. before the APP
proved plan.has begun to take shape,
1t has beer found that the proposed
S0-foot street will be inadequate. and
the plans are being revised for a 100
foot paved way.

people here, Franklin H. Martin. M

This list is the result of the elgntn

he said in part: This list OF ap-
proved hospitals Is of general IN

young woman with the noble am
bition to become nurse Is assisted
in her selection Of q training school
The recent medical graduate eager
for more practical experience seeks
tha approved hospital for his
internship. Federal, state. NUM-
cipal and philanthropic organizations
frequently consult this list In their
selection of institutions when render
ing financial assistance. Already the
American Railway Association has
urged their $4,000 surgeons to select
for their patient so far as possible
hospitals approved by the American
College of Surgeons. The United
States Army, Navy, Veterans Bu-
reau, Public Health Service, and Ma
tional Homes for Disabled Volunteer
Soldiers share enthusiastically In
this program and the approved
hospitals of these groups appear on
the list today. The American Col
lege of Surgeons appreciates the OPP,
portunity to better hospital and
medical services for the 100000
patients passing through the hospi-
tails of the United States and Canada
annually. This movement has now
become part of the social and
economic life of our people. The
requirements are minimal and funda-
mental. They are applicable to any
hospital regardless of size, type or
location. Any institution, ethical and
honest, reaching the standard is
acceptable. The public is therefore
asking why certain hospitals are not
on the list"

Ladies', Niuht Observed

About 500 knights and ladies at
tended the annual Ladies Night Of
De Molay Commandery which was
held at the new Community House
last evening. The house was most
tastefully decorated. This with the
uniforms Of the Sir Knights and the
handsome gowns Of their ladies, pre-
scented a scene most pleasing.
Promptly at 8 o'clock program
was presented by chosen artists from
the Keith-Albee vaudeville exchange.
Immediately following the program
the hall was cleared for dancing, with
music by the Melody Boys of Au-
gusta. 1t was just impossible to
keep ones feet still when those jazz
boys were hitting the high spots and
1t was noted that even the bridge
parties in an adjoining room were
bidding in time to the music. A con-
tinuous buffet lunch was served from
$50 to 1890.
Without doubt this was one Of the
most pleasing Ladies' Nights ever
given by De Molay Commandery.
Much credit is due the various COM
mittees who did so much to make
the affair a success.
