Underwriters Recommend 81
Downtown, Remainder in
Apartment Zones.

Installation of 400 new fire MIGRANTS,
50 of which would be IN the high
value or downtown section and the re-
mainder in the apartment building
zones. is recommended in a report re-
ceived today by Fire Chief George S.
Watson from the National Board of
Fire Underwriters.
When the committee, appointed by
the Commissioners to study the advis.
ability of installing a high-pressure
fire protection system in the high
value district visited New York re-
Gently, it was given promise by the
board that if certain improvements
were made to water mains and fire
MIGRANTS within two years, n general
reduction in rated risks would result.
Among these conditions was the in
stallation of 200 new fire plugs during
the present fiscal year. Another sched-
ule was submitted showing where the
1928 quota of replacement of and
8 inch feeder pipes for hydrants
should be located in place Of 4-inch
feeders.
Fire Chief Watson announced that
he would submit the schedules to j.
S. Garland. superintendent of the
Water Department for estimates ON
Their cost.
1he high-pressure committee will
meet soon to draft its report to the
Commissioners. What it learned about
high -pressure systems through the
actual demonstrations it viewed in
New York and Baltimore. will form
the basis of the report.

GUARD INCREASED
At CHAIN BRIDGE
Waterman Keeps Eye on
Weak Masonry of Pier
at All Times.

Additional police guards have been
stationed at Chain Bridge with in
structions rigidly to enforce the emer-
gency regulations adopted as a pro-
lection to pedestrians and vehicles
crossing the structure due to the
weakened condition of the masonry at
the south abutment, it was revealed
today by Engineer Commissioner
William Il. Ladue.
The regulat tons prescribe that all
vehicles shall come to complete
stop before proceeding on the bridge,
and limit the maximum capacity of
all vehicles crossing it to four tons.
Besides the police guard, a watch
man Is on duty continuously to cb-
serve the condition of the abutment,
and the engineer of bridges is making
periodical inspections of the super
structure as well as the abutments.
While Col. Ladue described the con-
dition of the south abutment as dis
quoting" he said he did not believe
1t Is necessary to close the bridge to
traffic at this time. The bridge, he
pointed out. is an important link of a
heavily travelled highway and its
closing would cause considerable in.
convenience.
The Commissioners are still debat-
ing, it was learned, on whether to
include an item for replacement of
the bridge in the budgetary estimates
for the 192S-1929 fiscal year, which
they are now completing. Their de-
cision is being delayed pending infor.
nation as to Virginia's attitude on a
proposal that the Commonwealth

RAINS WASH AWAY
HEAT IN MIDWEST
Torturing Temperature Had
Been the Cause of Death
and Suffering.

BY the Associated Press
CHICAGO, July 2,-Thundcrshow-
ers, sweeping out of the West have
washed away q heat wave which for
three days had tormented most of
Middle America.
AS the rain fell, so did the tempera-
ture, the mercury dropping from the
blsterng COS to the comfortable los
over almost the entire territory. In
Chicago. the days high was "a, but
with the rain. the reading sank to 70.
Half hundred Chicago deaths dur
ing the three torrid days were ascribed
directly to the heat. Twenty three of
these occurred yesterday. A dozen
more deaths were due indirectly to the
high temperature.
Throughout the Middle West it was
much the same. Prostrations and
drowninGs claimed 10 Ohioans during
the day, the maximum temperature in
the State being 81 degrees. Unofficial
readings as high as 100 were reported
from some Indiana and Southern Hi
nois centers before the tempering
showers fell.
For today, Sunday and probably the
Fourth of July, the prediction in the
Middle West generally was fair skies
and moderate temperatures.

Bad Teeth Cause Ill Health.

The teeth are more apt to become
defective or diseased than any other
part of the body. In 1924, of the
1876, GAO officers and men in the United
States Army-who as group are
presumably among the healthiest per-
sons-112 ,507 were treated for dental
disabilities. Disease germs that enter
the body through decayed teeth or
along the side of disordered teeth are
frequent causes of such serious and
common maladies as rheumatism, kid
ney trouble and heart failure. There
are nearly 10000 dentists in the
United States and 1000 in Canada. the
number of physicians being only about
twice as large in each country. Dur
ing 1925. in the United States. 326
manufacturing establishments made
dental goods exclusive of instruments
and machinery, valued at $3S, 1853. 049,
including s5,947,729 for artificial teeth,
says the Carnegie Foundation for Ad-
vancement of Teaching.

ASSAIL DUTCH HOUSE
FOR AIDING AVIATION
Passage of Subsidy Measure Is
Condemned in View of Pres
ent Conditions.
AMSTERDAM.

AMSTERDAM. July a. The
Dutch Lower Chamber is being
criticized for its giddiness in hav-
ing passed without discussion the
Jifty bill, granting the Royal Dutch
Air Navigation Co. a subsidy of
100000 forms for the next seven
years and agreeing to buy 500 shares
in the company at 1000 forms each.
The question is raised whether the
economic needs of air traffic in Hol-
land require such a great financial
sacrifice, for the last seven years
have not justified expectations re-
garding the economic development of
Dutch aviation.
On the other hand, the government
being superseded by foreign com.
was bound to prevent Dutch air lines
being superseded by foreign COM
petitors, recommended acceptance of
the financial obligations.
Hitherto the company's profits have
remained considerably below the esti-
mated average cost per ton kilo-
meter, having dropped from 474
forms in 1922 to 1875 forms in 1928.
1t is expected that the Upper
Chamber will ask more information
about the economic future of Dutch
aerial navigation before passing the
bill.

OPENING OF FILTRATION
PLANT is POSTPONED
New Outfit on Conduit Road De-
layed Until October, Due to
Lack of Gravel.

Opening Of the new filtration plant
at Conduit road and the District line
has been postponed from July until
some time in October, it was an.
nounced today. The delay. it was ex.
planned, was caused by the inability
to get the gravel for the filters as
promptly as had been expected.
1t requires about 1000 tons of gravel
and 5000 tons of sand to equip the
plant, and it was explained that the
gravel must be specially screened to
get standard sizes, and that the con.
tractor has had to screen 10 times
more than the amount he expected in
order to get a sufficient quantity of
the right kind for the filtration plant.
This delay necessarily postponed the
working of cleaning up the plant and
surrounding grounds. and it was said
that there was a desire to complete
every detail before the formal opening.
