COLONIAL BEACH, Va, Aug.
1O.-One of the most picturesque
rites that remain to characterize
the deep South took place here
on Sunday, when the First Bap-
tiSt Church (colored), of Colonial
Beach, held their annual baptiS-
NAL ceremony on the Potomac
shore. Five robed candidates were
baptized by the Rev. Thomas
Johnson. The depth of sincerity
and beauty of the services was
heightened by the rendition of a
number of rich, old Negro spirit
uals, sung by the colored congre-
cation and led by Sister Fanny
Tolliver. Among the white pa
irons attending were the Hon.
and Mrs. George Mason, Mrs.
Fairfax Ninde, Mr.. and Mrs. H.

Chief Engineer Schrom, of the

The Southwest citizens. and
many others, are putting in con-
Stant demands for the new en-

slightest hint as to what engine

DR.. Johnson's letter to the Dis

starts in at about 8 pm and con-
tinues through most of the night, thus
discrediting the old popular belief
that there is something contaminat-
ing about night air.
In the Summer the maximum of
impurity is reached at about $50
am. and the improvement in the
middle of the day is more marked
than in Winter. Aside from the
morning maximum. which is assumed
to be due primarily to the building
of fires with the consequent smoke
output from chimneys, the course Of
pollution during the day seems to
depend primarily on the extent of
rising currents Of air which can carry
away the particles. There were also
marked differences at night, associ-
ated with blanketing effect of clouds.
Purer on Sunday.
The tests showed that city air Is
much purer on Sundays than on
weekdays-obviouslY associated with
the shutting down of industries and
office buildings and the banking Of
furnaces. An important finding which
awaits further study is that of bad
air periods-definite tendencies for
the air to remain more than ordi-
narily polluted over periods varying
from one or two days to a month or
more.
Curiously enough, rainfall was found
to have very little effect on air pollu-
ton, although damp air is ordinarily
looked upon as loaded with impuri-
ties. Wind velocity and direction.
however. were found to have marked
effect so that there may be some
truth in the old belief about impure
winds.
The studies were conducted in an
effort to lay foundations of funda-
mental fact for future smoke elimina-
ton legislation. The precise effects
of air pollution of this kind on health
are unknown, but it generally would
be assumed the purer the air the
better. The pollution evidently varies
rather with the number and nature of
industrial establishments than with
the density of population, since such
large cities as Philadelphia and De-
troit are placed in the same general
classification as Washington.
