BASINS SUGGESTED
AS BATHING POOLS
Abandoned Reservoir May
Be Converted for Use
of Swimmers.

18th the time approaching wher
the Water Department will abandon
the Brightwood Reservoir at S1xteentf
and Kennedy streets, off1clals WI
turn their attention before the enc
of this year to the question OF wna'
is to be done with the two large
basins after they have been drained
for the last time.
Although the reservoir will be elimi
mated from active service as storage
point for water some time in July
when it will be superseded by a por'
tion of the newly built supply Sys'
tenn. Il is the intention of j. S. Gar
land, superintendent of the Dlstrlct
Water Department, to hold the Bright.
wood basins in readiness to be used
for several months after July, until
the new supply lines have been tried
thoroughly in actual operation.
May Be Bathing Center.
Preliminary and informal discussion
among officials of the District govern
ment and the National Capital Park
and Planning Commission has CEN
tered chiefly on the suggestion tnat
the old reservoir be converted into
swimming pools as part or the out
door recreational system of the office
of public buildings and public parks.
Inasmuch as the reservoir Will not
be obsolete for water supply purposes
until the end of this Summer, there
is nothing to be gained by decision
at this time and indications are the
problem will be gone into careruliy
between now and next year.
If 1t should be decided that IL
is desirable to make use Of the reser-
vair basins in connection with public
recreational facilities the first step
probably would be to arrange for their
transfer to the Office of public build
ings and parks. The reservoir now
belongs to the District Water Depart
ment.
Change Seen as Costly.
While the problem would not be one
for his office to settle unless such
transfer should be made, Lieut.. Col.
u. S. Grant, Sd, director of public
buildings and parks. recently made
some observations of the reservoir.
His impressions led him to believe
that the converting of the two basins
into swimming pools would not be as
simple and inexpensive a project as
would appear at first glance.
Each basin of the reservoir is 800
feet wide, Ais feet long and more
than 90 feet in depth. Col. Grant in
Dictated he regarded the depth or the
basins as an obstacle to be overcome
if it should be decided to make swim |
ming pools out of them. He said he
had given some thought to the posi- |
bility Of constructing false bottoms |
that would raise the level. He said |
1t would require considerable out |
lay of funds to make such a change. |
IL they were used as pools with the |
water at the present bottom and with |
the necessary locker facilities above,
Col. Grant believes they would be |
too hot for comfortable use in Sum- |
mer because of the depth. All of |
these factors, it was indicated, win |
have to be gone into before a deter
mination Is reached.

ROTHSCH|LD PLEA
FOR Blue SKY LAW
Business Bureau Head Cites
Need for Restraining
"Trick" Promoting.

Voicing qualification over the an
nounced intention of Senator Capper
of Kansas to seek early enactment OF
a blue sky law for the District OF
Columbia, Louis Rothschild, director
of the Better Business Bureau. last
night in a radio address over WMAL,
sounded a warning that the Spring
campaign of promoters of question.
able" sales schemes now Is on.
Mr. Rothschild described number
of sales schemes recently imported
here, which he said were misleading
and questionable in character. One
of them, IAN old one practiced by
fake stock promoters" now is flourish
ing in this city, he said.
Many such promoters, driven from
other sections of the country, now
find no legal handicap to their opera
tons here, he pointed out.
No Barrier i'm District.
There is no law In the District
of Columbia to stop this flood of ques-
tionable securities" said Mr.. Roths-
child. 1--WE note with qualification a
recent statement by Senator Capper
that he is going to push a so-called
blue.sky law for Washington. 1t GER
tainly is needed.
I'm the meanwhile, the only protec-
ton here now is In following the
slogan, Before you invest--investi-
gate
"A stock salesman informed the
Better Business Bureau this week
that in one month 3S different pro-
motions were offered to him for sale
and that not one Of them would pass
proper investigation. This number
indicates the enormous amount of
worthless paper offered to the people
of Washington under the guise of
investments
Majority Held Honest.
Despite the operations Of the Get
Rich Quick Wailingfords." however.
Mr.. Rothschild pointed out, 'the vast
ajority of securities are funda-
mentally honest and statesmen of this
type are q proper part Of our business
life, performing a real service.
You viii not get the idea" he con-
cluded, that all stocks are worthless
and all statesmen of securities are
questionable schemers. But there are
enough interruptions ones, however,
to recommend that the people of
Washington be cautious in making
Investments"
The speaker offered the services of
the Better Business Bureau in making
Investigations of sales promotions of
questionable character.

CAVIAR PRICE LOWERED.

FRENCH LICK, Ind, March &c
R.-Cavair, aristocrat of the dinner
relishes, sells in America now for half
what it cost before the Bolshevists
became the ruling element in Russia.
The reason? Because the Soviet
regime has permitted more Russians
to fish the Caspian Sea for sturgeon,
which yield caviar, according to Paul
Perreau. Western manager of an
American importing house. Caviar
sold in New York for $14 pound in
1917, while today it is 81.
New Workers are the largest con-
sumers of caviar, with Chicago sec.
