Increased membership and increased
participation by the members in the

jectives for the organization during the

inspiration to attend meetings of the
association when the hall was filled
with members listening with interest to
talks that awakened memories Of their

member to write something of his ear

of the portion of the city in which he

it would be possible to open the hall

juveniles. There was a swimming place
on Tiber Greek between E and F streets,
at Massachusetts avenue, and another

the boys who did not care to go as far

Early writings Of Washington tell of the
Potomac River having a depth of eight
or nine feet at the foot of Twenty-third
street about 1900, but within thirty
years its depth was only two feet, Mr..
Duhamel declared. This, he said,
showed how rapidly the Potomac filled
up, making it necessary to cover the
flats and break up the old swimming
holes.
In conclusion, Mr. Duhamel suggested
the members make list of the old
swimming holes, and Mr.. Topham VOL
