BOY is DROWNED
EXHIBITING NERVE
Nine Year 0Id Clarence Mich.
oIds Meets Death Playing
"FoIIoW the Leader"

Clarence Nichols, years old, paid
with his life yesterday afternoon fol-
the privilege of proving to his playmates
that he had 'as much nerve as the rest
Of them"
He was drowned in the Eastern
Branch of the Potomac River when he
fell from q steel girder beneath the
Pennsylvania Avenue Bridge while try
ing to emulate the feat Of an older boy
who had crossed the girder safely.
Brother Was In Group.
Clarence, who lived at 1892 D street
southeast, fell into the river shortly
after noon. Members of Fire Depart
ment Rescue Squad No. recovered the
body an hour later. They worked for
half an hour In vain effort to resusci-
tate the lad.
The most pathetic figure among the
little group surrounding the spot where
the firemen were working over the body
was 14-year-old Grafton Nichols, older
brother of Clarence.
Grafton was crossing the bridge when
the crowd below attracted his attention.
He hurried down and got to the rivers
edge just as firemen lifted his brothers
body from the water.
brothers body he sat on the running
board of nearby automobile, a pitiful,
detected figure. Tears coursed down
his cheeks as he realized the hopeless
ness of their task.
Bernard Raum of the 1900 block OF
Prout street had crossed the girder safe
ly before Clarence started on his fatal
journey. AS he stepped onto the beam,
the others called to him to come back.
Rescue Effort Fails.
"I'm not afraid" he called back, 'S
can do 1t Just as well as the rest Of
YOU"
He had almost attained his goal and
was bending forward to grasp sup
port when his foot slipped and he tum-
bed into the water.
Unable to swim, he came UP once,
struggled few moments, and sank
Bernard Raum dived after him. but was
unable to locate Clarence in the muddy
water.

HOSPITAL SURVEY
SCOPE BROADENED
Board of Trade Seeks Data
on Care for Persons of
Average Means.

Seeking additional information which
1t Is hoped viii lead to solution Of the
question Of adequate disqualification for
persons OF average means In need of
hospital care or operations, the public
health committee of the Washington
Board OF Trade has sent second
QUESTIONABLE to privately operated
local hospitals and has extended the
first series Of queries to public hispitals
Of this city.
The survey, carried on by COM
mittee headed by DR.. D. Percy Kick.
ling, District alienist, with the co-opera-
ton of the American Medical Associa-
tiop, has attracted attention in other
cities. The results of the first ques-
tionnaire indicated that some persons
OF average means are denied hospisali-
cation because Of expense.
Recommendation Are Asked.
In the second QUESTIONABLE to the
private hospitals, the committee seeks
recommendations concerning the hand
ling of patients Of average means
those In the charity class, as well as
suggestions concerning the financing In
volved.
This survey seeks information as to
the following questions
do you believe that Gallinger Hos
pital will soon be ready to handle all
charity cases in the District?
Would 1t be advisable to have a
strict rule among all hospitals that all
charity cases can be treated only at
Gallinger?
Would group insurance be practi-
cal way TO bring adequate hospital
treatment within the reach of the man

charity?
I'm the matter Of proposed re-alloca-
tons Of functions among local hos
pitals, can you make at this time
definite suggestions which would be
acted upon seriously by representatives
1929?
Are public hospitals more economical
than private hospitals?
do you consider 1t advisable to ex-
tend or enlarge public hospitals as a
means Of providing disqualification for
paying patients Of moderate means?
Would you care to participate in
group purchasing Of supplies with a
view to buying in quantity at lowest
prices?
do you consider it advisable to en-
large Government hospitals (such as

in time of peace and to be used for the
soldiers and sailors only in time of

A similar QUESTIONABLE was sent to
publicly operated hospitals in Washing
ton. also seeking advice and recon-
mendations concerning the question.
Business Men Discuss Problem.
The matter win be brought before
a section Of the public here for the first
time May II when the subject will be
discussed at q business mems health
conference sponsored by the public

there is no unity, no comprehensiveness
or harmony of expression in any Of our
so-called circles. The architecture is
varied, unrelated. and generally unin-
teresting-even commonplace"
Turning his attention to the famous
Place de l'Etoile in Paris, in the center
of which stands the Arc de Triomphe,
Mr. Harris was outspoken in his criti-
cism of its architectural effect.
THE plan Of this circle,@ he said, sis
most unfortunate in that too many
streets radiate from the circumference,
leaving very little space available for
buildings or other treatment, conse-
quently the arch in the center is left
without an adequate background. The
harrenness of the surroundings OF this
important national monument Is re-
grettable, and steps should be taken to
correct this obvious error. Even the
large mass of trees fail to help the sit
uation very much.
Contrast this treatment with the
Circus at Bath (England where there
are only three streets radiating from
the circle, leaving a large percentage
of the circumference for buildings.
Coming back to Washington for eX-
ample, Mr.. Harris pointed out the way
Massachusetts, avenue is saved from
being long, monotonous stretch OF
roadway by being broken UP with cir
Giles and other landscape architecture
devices.
Beginning at the eastern end" he
said. I'VE have Lincoln Park, Stanton
Park, Mount Vernon Square. two tri-
angles at Eleventh and Twelfth streets
Thomas Circle, Scott Circle, and Du-
pont Circle. The treatment of Union
Station Plaza and Sheridan Circle have
been added since his D'Enfant's) mar
was made. He even goes farther, in some
instances, and blocks the street en-.
tirely with a park, compelling traffic
to go around it, as at Eighth and G
streets and Eighth and K streets, Lin
coin Park and Stanton Park"

SHIFT Plan shows
| FIRE PROMOTIONS
Chief Watson Lauds System
of Platoon Changes After
Months Test.

Promotion Of members Of the Fire
Department below the grade Of captain
will be made slower by the recently
adopted system of changing platoons
each Saturday instead Of on q stag.
gered" schedule distributed through an
the days Of the week, George s. Watson.
chief engineer Of the Fire Department,
said yesterday. The system, which has
been on trial for about month, has
| appeared satisfactory, and the expert
has an excess Of three lieutenants and
six sergeants. Chief Watson said that
these men would be all retained In their
present ranks, but that as vacancies
occurred he would fail to fill them
until the excess Of officers has been
absorbed.
According to the new system, one
platoon viii work all day Saturday
and the other platoon will be OF all
day. The platoons reverse roles the
next Saturday. In the old system the
change was made by battalions Of three
companies, and an effort was made
to distribute the change days evenly
so that on no day would there be either
an excess or shortage Of officers or men
in any particular area.
Found Extremely DifiicuIt.
This was found extremely difacult,.
and the department was compelled to
commission several officers without per-
manent assignment to have q mobile
force going from company TO company
as the exigencies of change day" and
the various officers days OF demanded.
The new arrangement has worked
so well that few of these men are need.
ed. Chief Watson gives entire credit
for the new plan to E. r. Pierce, chief
clerk Of the department. Mr.. Pierce
said that so far he had had nothing
but praise for it from the men.
The change In change day" has
been accompanied with a change in
the system of granting the members
OF the department their one day in
seven of, as required by law. Under
the new rules q man who is OF, say,
Monday this week will be of Tuesday
Of next week, Wednesday Of the fol-
lowing week and so on. Thus when
his day on in one week is Saturday,
his day of the following week would
be Sunday.
Occasional Week End.
This gives the men an occasional
week end on without the necessity for
them to take the days out Of their an
nual leave, and according to Mr.. Pierce
that is the feature that has called forth
most favorable comment.
Chief Watson explained that in 1924,
when the scheme was first put into
effect of having night and Gay pla-
toons. the department had no expert
ence to go by, and did the best it could
to find q workable system. But We
were shooting In the dark" he said
"Our experience with the old system
was unsatisfactory and our short ex-
perience with the new very encourag-
ing. I see no reason why it should not
continue to work out as well as it has
started"
