PLANS APPROVED
FOR SANITARIUM
Preliminary Draft of Three-Story
Children's Structure Passes
Committee.

Preliminary plans for a three-story
main hospital building for the Chill
dren's tuberculosis Sanitarium, to be
built on District-owned land on the
Defense Highway in Maryland, were APP
proved yesterday by the committee.
headed by Commissioner Luther H.
Reichelderfer The plans, in rough
draft. were submitted by T. B. Kidner,
architectural consultant to the COM
mittee.
The present plans call for this build
ing and second building to serve as
nurses and employees home and for
a heating plant. A dwelling now stand
ing on the property will probably be
used for housing the superintendent of
the new institution.
All buildings will be extensible, so
that in the future when the demands
on the institution grow, it will be pos
sible to build architecturally har-
monious additions. The present plans
will be drawn, however, in such a way
as to furnish an institution, complete
in all respects, including equipment,
for the money available, amounting to
about S555, 900. The amount originally
authorized was $685.. 900, of which $7o,-
900 was used in buying the site.

In the Spring young mans fancy
turns to-well, If he's very young, it's
pretty likely to turn to thoughts of the
circus and things like that.
Anyway. the circus is what 7-year-old
Francis Helvestine's fancy turns to
about this time every year, according
to his mother. Mrs. Holmes Helvestine,
42l Fourth street northeast.
Altogether Mrs Helvestine said, Fran
els has strayed from home about three
dozen times" and most OF those stray
lngs have been inspired by the proximity
of a circuS-although, of course, the de-
soldier and few other things also
have played more or less important
parts In Francis wanderings.
And yesterday Francis learned a car
nival had set up its tents on a vacant
lot near Fifteenth and H streets north
east.
Francis hung around" the carnival
lot all day, trying to induce those in
charge of the various shows to put him
to work.
Francis still was trying to land job
when a policeman decided it was about
time for him to be put to bed.
Where do you live?" the policeman
asked.
Francis told him.
"All right" was the rejoinder Home

Johns crib was empty. Mrs Griffen
fastened into the kitchen, where she
found her son lying unconscious on the

Plans Camp in Volcano
G. U. JUNIOR TO JOIN ALASKAN EXPEDITION.

~ OBERT (Dick) Douglas, adven-
turous Georgetown College
IN junior, who spent his sixteenth
i birthday as Boy Scout hunt
ing lions in the heart Of Africa,
is looking forward to spending his
nineteenth birthday this Summer camp
ing out in the sulphurous crater of an
Alaskan volcano.
AS one of three young student eX-
plorerS who are to join Father Bernard
Hubbard, the Glacier Priest" in his
latest Alaskan exploit, Douglas is leav-
ing here Monday tor Seattle, Wash,
to embark on a 2.o00-mile voyage to
Chignic near the tip of the Alaskan
Peninsula. Thence they will treck some
so miles into the interior to Mount
Aniakchack, in the famous Valley Of
10000 Smokes"
Father Hubbard will precede the
youths by hydroplane, landing on the
great lake in the crater which provides
an ideal airport. He has engaged a
pilot and the boys expect to make
many flights over the smoky volcanic
region.
They will remain there all Summer,
studying the geology of the crater and
its neighborlng Mount VeniaminoH,
exploring and hunting Kodiak bears
with a camera.
Met Priest at Georgetown.
Dick" Douglas. who got his first
taste of adventure nearly three years
ago, when he hunted African big
game with the Martin JohnsonS spent
last Summer also in Alaska. 1t was
at Georgetown College last Fall that he
met the Jesuit priest who is widely
known for his glacier exploration in
Alaska. Father Hubbard promised Dick
then to take him along with him this
Summer when he visited some OF Alas
ka's largest volcanoes.
During the past Winter Father Hub
bard, who is head of the department
of geology at Santa Clara University,
In California, visited Alaska to take
motion pictures of the Jesuit missions
N its interior.
Young Douglas said today he hopes
to arrive at Mount Aniakchack in time
to photograph a big Kodiak bear taking
a Turkish bath" in the crater. 1T is
usually in May before the bears begin
to shed their heavy fur, so it gets
pretty warm for them" he said.
Bears Expedite Shedding.
"The Kodiak bears in that region
have discovered a way to expedite the
shedding process They go into the
crater. steaming themselves out in reg
ular Turkish bath by lying for several
days over vaporish crevices. That en-
ables them to shed their fur coats be-
fore nature would do the trick under
normal circumstances"
At Seattle Douglas will meet his two
