HOSPITAL TESTING
new SIGNAL HORNS
Director Blair Looking for Ambu-
lance Whistle of More Har-
monious Sound.

In an effort to meet complaints that
the siren now used on the Emergency
Hospital ambulanceS is too piercing, de-
spite the fact that the device meets with
the approval of the police and traffic
heads of the District. Emergency Hos
pital officials are conducting tests with
all available automobile signaling de-
vices to f1nd one which will serve the
purpose as we'll as the present and at
the same time have more harmonious
sound.
Announcement of the tests was made
today by Woodbury. Blair, president OF
the board Of directors of the hospital,
who said they were being made as "a
service to the people of Washington"
Mr.. Blair explained today that he
was In conference with officials OF the
Trafhc Bureau yesterday and was as
sured by them that they approve OF the
way the hospital ambulance service Is
conducted. =,
by order of the Commissioners and
the Traffic Bureau" Mr.. Blair says,
"ambulances have the right of way. To
minimize danger hazard. the ambu-
lance driver is instructed to keep
sounding his siren until the point OF In
terSection has been passed. The siren
must also be sounded when pedestrians
or vehicles are in the direct course OF
the ambulance, which means that when
an ambulance is going at the rate of
Is or 80 miles an hour the siren seems
to be sounding almost incessantly."
Mr.. Blair points out that it is neceS-
sary for an ambulance to hurry back
from a call upo1 which 1t is found not
needed. for the reason that another
emergency call may be awaiting 1t upon
its return,
We sometimes hear complaints that
the annbliA lance does not arrive soon
enough"

POTOMAC TO OHIO
CANAL WSUAL|zED
Waterway Connecting Capt.
= tai With Mississippi Basin
Is Being Studied.

Plans for a great inland waterway
connecting Washington with the Mis-
sissippi by way of the Potomac and
Ohio Rivers are being studied by the
United States Engineer once. Maj.
Brehon Somervell, District engineer for
the War Department for the WasII-
ington area, told members of the rivers
and harbors committee of the Wash-
ington Board of Trade at a meeting
yesterday afternoon.
This study, he declared, was au-
thorized by Congress more than SIX
months ago and at that time was m-
dertaken in the nature Of an expert
ment. Since then he has become COLI
vinced that the project is practicable
and will so report to Congress.
The idea is not new, he explained,
but originated in the mind of George
Washington, who foresaw the greaL
possibilities of such a development. He
pointed out that the waterway Woulo
connect Washington with the great
coal fields of Pennsylvania and WeSL
Virginia. OF equal importance, he saiu,
would be the fact that 1t would link
Will q I1uSS 1ICLWO4A "a
intercoastal waterways from New Eng
land to Florida, which is visioned by
the chief of Army engineers, and eA-
lists in part,
The development would encourage in
land commerce, he said, and afford the
Federal Government a quick and mex
pensive avenue of transportation in case
of emergency.
Maj. somervell said the study of the
project practically has been completed
and recommendations will be forwarded
to Congress, probably early next year.
This entire development would be
rendered impossible, however, the Army
engineer declared, by any park beauti-
fication of Great Falls, as proposed un-
der the Cramton bill. A low-level park
at that point, he declared, would forever
close the Potomac to navigation and
make canal between 1t and the Ohio
River futile.
Maj. SomerVell told of the plans for
the development of the Washington
channel waterfront. This development,
to include docks, a seawall and possibly
a railway terminal at Buzzards' Point,
would cost $3,500,000, he said. Under
this plan would come the conversion
of Water street southwest into two
highways, one on the north side for
street cars and commercial traffic and
the south side for boulevard traffic.
