ROOSEVELT HAS
SWIM DATE
JUNE |
New White House Pool Nearly
Ready; Equipment of the
Most Scientific Type

President Roosevelt is looking
forward with some anticipation
to next Thursday. On that day,
the "Op Swimmin' Hole" becomes
available for his use.
Not, however, a swimmin' hole
such as once was familiar to you
and you and you, but rather a
brand new pool that is so elegant
in it's appointments as to be able
to answer at once when someone
says "natatorium."
Ready June First
Major D. H. Gillette, chief Of
the engineering division of the
Office of Public Buildings and
Parks, announced today the new
White House swimming pool
built with the nickels and dimes
of presidential admirers in New
York city and State-would be
ready for the first plunge on
June /.
An inspection of the new tank,
located in the west wing, where
the laundry once was, revealed
that President Roosevelt is 60
ing to be able to indulge in his
favorite sport and exercise in a
setting affording the last word
in scientific perfection.
Workmen we're busy this morn
ing setting the final blocks Of ar
chitectural terra Gotta in place
which will form the walls and
wainscoting of the pool.
These blocks are Of varying
shades of blue, which, when the
tank is full, will turn the water
into sparkling green.
so Feet Long
Set into the lower. walls are
underwater lights that will fur
ther enhance the effect. The
ceiling is done in cream, plas-
tered in Stucco effect. Double
doors facing on the beautiful rose
garden may be thrown open for
light and ventilation; windows

light in themselves.
The tank proper is so feet long
and is feet wide; 8 feet in depth
at the end where a small diving
board is set, and grades down to
AZ feet at the shallow end. a
recirculating equipment keeps the
water moving in and out Of the
pool, filtered and steriliZed to a
degree higher than city drinking
water.
Further, an automatic tempera-
ture regulator has been installed
and a thermometer is set in full
view to assure a bather that the
waters temperature is as or
dered.

Policeman Wrecks
'CucLe to SaUe DOg

Raymond Crack, of the Airing

Crack is recovering today in
Georgetown Hospital from severe
bruises and decorations incurred
when he spilled his motorcycle
to avoid striking a dog. The
accident occurred on Vacation

the dog he would probably have
injured himself more.

My last experience involved no less
a light than William Faulkner, whose
name you hear mentioned in the
same breath with Hemingway, Dos
toievsky, and, I think, Shakespeare in
his better moments.
What the movies did to Faulkner
and what Faulkner did to the movies
were equally terrible, and my first
impulse was to wire the big business
men in Hollywood to get rid of all
their intellectuals before the intellec-
tuals ruined them.
But, taking time to think that
little was probably left of Hollywood
to be ruined, l had the fortune to
see a second Faulkner work which is
a little better-the one called "The

ers rubber-stamped their approval
on the new traffic code for the
District yesterday, somebody
slipped up and the wrong copy
got under the stamp.
At least that is the explanation
offered today to questions as to
why the new code abrogates the
Commissioners recent pet regula-
ton governing the speed OF am
balances.
The ambulance regulation pro
vided that emergency vehicles
should limit their speed to 80
miles an hour and come to full
stop before proceeding against a
red light. It also curbed the
unnecessary use of sirens.
But when the new code was
finally stamped and given all the
official markings necessary to
convert it into law it was found
that the section controlling
emergency vehicles was Just the
same as those in the old code
before the new regulation was
adopted. , H.

error the Commissioners rushed

Signor Jung suggested that the

work as independently Of each other
as possible.
To Get Report Monday

til II a. m. Monday, when it will

Chamberlain, spokesman for Great
Britain Wednesday, said economic and

together and Immediately, and advo-
Gated a policy of cheap and plentiful
money. He urged, also, sterilization
Of currencies, settlement of war debts
and reparations problems, reduction
of tariff schedules, and the active en-
ployment of credit.
Premier Collin said he planned to
draft the commissions program at
once and distribute it for study over
the weekend, with the commission
meeting again Monday.
Collin advised his committee men,
bers to be careful not to "mix-up'
the different subjects.
He remarked that tariff policy and
currency policy were closely connect
ed and added they must start with
the assumption that the monetary
commission has found solution for
currency sterilization.
Each will have to work on the as
sumption that the other has succeed
ed, he said.
Agree On Five Points
The conference began its serious
labor with unanimous agreement on
five points and disagreement on eight
others.
