Or. Percy Hickling to Head
Drive by Board Of Trade
Committee

Plans for campaign to have
erected in Washington municipal
baths to replace the tidal basin
bathing beach are being formu-
lated by the public health CONF
mittee of the Board of Trade, it
became known today.
Municipal baths are being urged
BY the public health committee, of
which Doctor D. Percy Hickling,
District aIienist, is chairman, from
the standpoint of sanitation and
the need for the healthfuI recre-
alton which they would afford.
The baths probably would be placed
on Government reservation. The
committee win launch its cam
paign at a special meeting at
1890 next Thursday at the City
Club.
Need Is Great Here.
Discussing the project today,
Doctor Kicking declared that
Washington Is badly in need of
healthfuI bathing facilities.
washington has no bathing
beach facilities which are entirely
safe from a health standpoint,
Doctor Hickling asserted. Invest
CATION has shown that the river is
infected and that there has been a
constant health menace at the
bathing beach despite the efforts to
make 1t sanitary. Swimming in in
fected water is wrong"
Doctor Hickling cited the Sutro
Baths in San Francisco as an ex-
ceIIent example of what can be
done in the way of providing
healthful opportunity for public
bathing.
Water Is Filtered
The Sutro Baths, declared Doc
tor Hickling, who made a careful
examination of them on a visit
to San Francisco. contain a large
POOL OF filtered water enclosed in
steel and glass. In summer, the
pool may be thrown open and then
Is virtually an open-air pool. In
the winter it may be enclosed and
used for indoor swimming con-
tests.
Municipal baths similar to the
@utro Baths, Doctor Hickling de-
eIared, could be erected in Wash
ingfon without great expense.
Such facilities, he pointed out,
would offer unlimited advantages
from a health standpoint, because
of the possibility of controlling in
lection by more effective filtration.

Parents of San Antonio students at.
tending the University College in this
city will effect a saving of S61S PEI
pupil. according to Dean of Students
y. X. Dupre, as against the expense
of sending them to a university out

Basing an attendance of 80 stu
dents. this would mean an annual saw
ing to parents of This city of $92, 700,
Mr.. Dupre declares, available for dis
bursements in San Antonio instead of
in some other city. In addition to
this the university will expend a con
siderable sum for salaries and other
expenses, which in turn will enter
business channels of San Antonio.
Investigation made BY Mr.. Duprc
disclose that the average amount spent
by a student attending college or uni
vcrsity away from home. amounts to
$T05 PEE year. The average amount
spent by a student attending uni.
versity junior college and living at

S61S in favor of the junior college at
home.
If instead of only 100 students at.
tending the junior college the attend
ance should grow in n few years to
from 1000 to 5000 the saving and
amount available for disbursement in
San Antonio would run into millions,
Mr.. Dupre asserted. These facts and
figures shonld be taken into consider

fullest cooperation TO assure its sue.
