FIGHT
INSPECTORS CUT
Committee of Association
Fears DySentery Will
H. Spread Here. II

Increased danger of the spread OF
dysentery or other water-borne di-
seases In the city will follow if the
number of inspectors in the plumb
ing inspectors Office is cut from IL
to 10. as indicated by House action
on the District appropriation bill,
according to report of special
committee of the Master Plumbers
Association, released yesterday.
The number of inspectors was IA
in the 1888 fiscal year, IL this year,
and will be 10 next year, the report
points out, holding that even with
IA the number of inspectors was not
sufficient to maintain the proper
safeguards to the health of the city.
In 1888 fiscal year, the plumbing
inspectors office made 81 .602 inspec-
tions, and for the first half of the
present fiscal year there have been
1904 inspections, a number regard
ed at the District Building as woe
fully inadequate.
Re-inspections Delayed
At present emphasis is placed on
Inspections of new installations, and
re-inSpections are not made unless
there is some complaint The REIN
spections are made, it was explained,
when an Inspector can get around
to them. and often 10 days, and in
same cases a month, elapse before
the complaint is investigated. The
complaint often shows the existence
OF conditions dangerous to health
which have existed for a long time.
The associations report calls at
tention to recent outbreak of amoebic
dysentery in Chicago. which was
traced directly to defective plumbing
in one or both of the hotels ex-
amined by research group of phys
icians and sanitary engineers.
District officials believe that every
place of public assembly. such as
hotel or large industrial establish
ments, should undergo an inspection
of its plumbing at least once a year
and that every restaurant or lunch
room should be examined at least
four times year.
Foresees Accusations.
At present there is an annual in
spection of the plumbing of restau-
rants, but no inspection after the
installation of plumbing in any other
kind of a public building except upon
some complaint.
The plumbers association, in its
report, recognizes that it will be ac-
cused of financial interest in seek
ing to better the conditions spoken
OF. 1t meets the criticism as follows:
I'VE of the plumbing industry, can
not foster any movement for a cor
rection 'of the conditions) because
it is thrown back at us that we are
attempting to increase our business
and are acting from purely selfish
motives. So We are calling the at
tention of those interested in the
health of our city to alarming facts.
which are constantly getting worse. in
the hope that unnecessary disease and
deaths will be curtailed."

MOUNTAIN RETREAT
FOR POETS SOUGHT
Former George Alfred Townsend
Estate Considered by
Laureate League. :

A mountain retreat for poets intent
on their Spring and Summer compost
tions is being sought in nearby Mary
land and Virginia by the Poet Laureate
League of Washington.
1t is hoped the projected establish
ment might even be operated on
year-round basis. SO that poets may
pursue their studies and writings of
poetry on parity with other profess
sions and arts"
Efforts are being made to obtain the
former George Alfred Townsend estate
near Frederick. Md, known as Gap
land and the old Weather Bureau
station on Mount Weather, near Blue
Mount, Va. Both places lie high in
the mountains, it was explained and
are ideal for the purpose.
The proposed retreats would be
similar to one which opens to poets

How do you like it, TWisty?'
asked Uncle Wiggily, who was float

toy balloons, tied by strings, be-

was using the balloons as water
wings.
"Oh, it's just fine!" grunted the

easily floated without any balloon

DTLLINGER DOESN'T END 1T

On this page readers will notice a pic
ture by Herblock, NEA cartoonist, which
has been in The Press office over three
months-waiting to be used.
Federal officers made its use today
possible when they ended the career of
John Dillinger-arch-ga Chi
cago last night.
The mat" from which the picture was
made would last indefinitely. Like the
law it could afford to "stand by know
ing that inevitably it would be used as
the law knew it would inevitably get Dill
linger
His career is a glaring reflection on
American penology. He was paroled
prisoner, being released from the In
diana state prison on May %, 1888. In
the IA months that elapsed up TO last
might he was responsible directly or in
directly for the deaths of more than a
dozen men and with his gang had gath
|ered loot estimated as high as half
million dollars and had created reign
of terror not confined to the midwest
but extending throughout the nation and
|even outside its boundaries. His record
proves decidedly that he was not entitled
ito the parole given him.
Outlawry does not end with Dillln-
|ger's death. Only a few hours before
he died three desperate convicts in the
death house of the Texas penitentiary
escaped as Dillinger had escaped on
more than one occasion. Although in
the death house awaiting execution, the
'convicts had obtained guns and easily
|pverpowered an unarmed guard when he
came to their cells with food. From then
on it was the same old story that has
become so frequent in recent months.
How did men in death cell become
possessed of guns?
| 1t is almost as ridiculous as Dlllln-
ger and his ''toy gun with which he held
up more than a score of men IN the
Grown Point Jail and escaped four
months ago.
The career of Dillinger and OF others
| ike him, indicates there is more truth
han poetry in the old quotation stone
walls do not a prison make nor iron bars
cage" They can't while we have pa
! fole laws that make our penitentiarles
farce.
If we learned something from Dillin-
ker's case it would be worthwhile but
besperadoes of his type will continue to
be paroled as long as politicians and
|pineless officials control parole boards.
Now we can start all over again with
hose three murderers loose from the
exas "pen.

WASHINGTON. July %. - An

htleman was in charge OF the

tghed heavily upon him, and he
kticularly was disturbed when he
rned that young women were
biting congressmens clerks in the
ice building after hours.
kfter much deliberation the re-
mer hit upon plan that seemed
solve the problem. He establish
a rule that every woman en-
hing the office building after 6
M, must register. The rule was
efefct just one night because
3 register was very dis

teedingly humorous to many con-

Farleys speeches are written on

quite, indeed, like a circus.
So Uncle Wiggily AID Mr. Twisty-
tail floated on their backs in the
ocean, the big fat pig now being
much higher out of the water than
he had been. For the balloons,
very light and filled with gas in
stead of air, lifted him Up.
Floats Above Water
Then, all of a sudden, queer
thing happened. The hot sun warm-
ed the gas in the balloons. The
gas began 10 expand, or grow big
ger, and this caused the balloons to
lift more weight. Before he knew
it Mr.. Twistytail was floating high
up in the air, above the woter, just
as if he were himself balloon.

Wiggily. What are you doing,
Twisty? Where are you going?"
1T isn't any of my doings!'
grunted the pig. And l don't know
where I am going. But If you
don't find a way to get me down

THAT would be dreadful cried
Uncle Wiggily. But I'll get you

rabbit gentleman hoped to a

popgun. With this in his paws he
scrambled back to the beach. Tai
ing careful aim, he shot a popgun
cork bullet at one of the balloons
that were floating Mr.. Twistytail
away.
"Bang!" the balloon burst. The
pig came down a little way.
"Pop!" Uncle Wiggily shot again

Houston notified police that
when he returned home last even

screen torn off front window and
the glass broken. Burnt matches
strewn on the floors throughout
the house gave evidence that a
thorough search of the premises
had been made by the prowler.
An investigation showed that the
rifle and jackets were the only

bureau. Originally housed in the
interior department building, its
offices first were moved to a tenn
porary government building. Incl
centally the change was mace when
Commissioner John Collier was
away from Washington.
When Collier returned he was

This time the Indian bureau went
to new air-conditioned postoffice
building, but not to remain long
James A. Moffett, new chief Of the
housing program, also was shopping
for office space. He liked Farley's
building and he won his argument
for placing his offices there.
Again the Indian bureau was
evicted. Now it is housed in a pub

so another move is likely when
he returns.
