D. C. Hospitals Ban Nudism
Even in Sun-Ray Cures

If you want to be a nudist
don't go to the Washington hos
pitals.
Washington doctors and hospi-
tai authorities believe in the eff
ficacy of the suns rays in cur
ing certain conditions and all
ments, but there is no sun bath
ing in the accepted nudistic sense
of the word.
Many hospitals boast solariums.
Others have porches where pa
tients can or are compelled, in
some instances, to bask under the
suns rays. Still others rely prin-
cipally on the violet ray lamp.
All Wear Clothes
One fact is evident, however,
and that is that hospital patients
who are subjected to the sunlight
wear clothes.
Where the violet ray treatment
is reSorted to, though, there is

3 Escape When Boat
Burns to WdterLine

C. Bailey, of 1875 Myrtle Ave,
Alexandria, and two companions
were forced to jump overheard
and swim to the Maryland shore
yesterday evening when a boat
owned by Bailey on which they
were cruising caught fire and
burned to the waterline.
Several boats from the Old Do
minion Boat Club in Alexandria
put out to aid the craft but the
flames from a leaking gas pipe
had gained such headway that
it was impossible to extinguish
them. The crew we're brought to
Alexandria by Paul Howard, Of

more privacy and in some in
stances not so many clothes are
worn.
Sun rays seems to be most ef-
fective in the treatment of rick
cts, but that can't be the motive
behind the nudist movement,
since most members of the nudist
cult have passed beyond the
ricket stage.
Rays Improve Health
The doctors, however, admit one
thing that may give the nudists
standing, and that is the suns
rays are good for a general con-
Stitutional build-up.
Oddly, physicians say that sun
rays are not so beneficial in treat
ment of tuberculosis as some
think.
So, if you have nudistic ideas it
seems that the best plan, if you
have to go to a hospital, is to
elect the violet ray machine.

D. c. HOME LOAN
OFFICE BEGINS
OPERATION
Less Than 100 Applicants
Present at Opening; Crowd
Expected Later

Held into a good-natured, smil-
ing line by police sergeant and
10 patrolmen, who wondered why
all the police were ordered to the
scene, less than 100 applicants for
loans from the Home Owners
Loan Corporation were on hand
at 9 o'clock today when the Dis
trict branch opened in the Shore
ham Building.
Some, anticipating great
crush, had arrived long before 8
o'clock. At that hour the police
arrived, and topics of the day,
principally the home loan and the
chances of the Nationals in the
American League pennant race,
occupied police and applicants.
System is Explained
At 9 o'clock the doors swung
open and all but a few of those
in line were ushered to tables,
where they were seated and the
workings of the home loan act
explained to them. Those who
could not be accommodated at
once at the tables were given
comfortable chairs and waited
their turns at the tables.
Each was given an application
blank to be filled out with an
accurate description of the prop
erty and the Indebtedness and
other pertinent information. Eacn
was asked to get the mortgage
holders consent to the loan.
Charles A. Jones, manager Of
the branch, aided by Paul j.
Frizzell, assistant manager, who
was a vice president of Shannon
and Luchs, real estate firm, and
% experts in mortgages and
washington real estate inter-
viewed the applicants.
Quick Action Sought
Every effort is being made to
get quick action on those in i'm
mediate need of relief, Mr.. Jones
explained. mortgage holders being
asked to hold off foreclosures un-
til the loans were received today.
No applications for loans were
received today. These will arrive
through the mails after those in
tervieWed today and on succeed
ings days have filled out the ap-
plication blanks, sworn to them,
and forwarded them to Mr.. Jones.
A large crowd is expected this
afternoon after the Government
offices close. Mr.. Jones said his
office will remain open late today
to care for Government employees.
Large crowds are also expected
late this afternoon when job ap-
plicantS will be received. It is an
nounced that those who wish en-
ployment will be received between
2:30 and 4::3O p. m. and that one

whisper sweeps through the house,

Westian is developing. =. What this
undulating siren will do to the
autumn fashions is still a matter of
speculation.
The fact remains that, to date,
Madame Schiaparelli has seen the
film twice, Mainbocher has been three,
times, and Jean Patou has sat through
it four times, he thinks, maybe five.
Of course, the success of any Ameri-

for all of us to be grateful for, and

CALVERT BRIDGE
FACES DELAY
Of MONTHS
Multiple Arch Row Seen as
Offering Snag, But Utah
Senator Asks Speed

A delay of several months in
starting work on the much-dis-
cussed Calvert Street Bridge i'm
pends as a result of the dictum
of the Fine Arts Commission that
the bridge must be of the multiple
arch masonry type.
Engineer Commissioner John
c. Gotwals urged construction Of
single arch steel bridge and a
sharp fight over the type to be
built has been waged between
members of Congress, the Dis
trict heads, and various civic
bodies.
The Fine Arts Commission fav-
ors a common bridgehead for the
western end of the proposed Struc-
ture and the Taft Bridge. This
will necessitate modification OF
plans and purchase of land.
The row over the type Of bridge
began when George Oakley Tot
ten, jr., architect, charged he had
prepared plans for a Calvert
Street Bridge which had been ap-
proved and that the Commission
ers then obtained other plans for
a steel bridge from Modjeski, Mas
ters and Chase.
Senator William H. King, Dem
ocrat of Utah, chairman of the
Senate District Committee, to-
day will urge the Commissioners
to push construction of the CAL
vert bridge.
Senator King said that he
hoped that work might begin on
the bridge by September.
