I1Y YE SITS In the gutter wher
That's how tow-headed
Il i George Edward Rim, 6,
gets his water sports these sweltering
| days. The description Is Billy zim-
merman's. Billy Is q little older and
more articulate than George, but less
fortunate. He has no bathing suit or
he, too, would "sit In the gutter when
1t rains"
An impromptu shower In the rain
or a splash in the supposedly forbid
den waters of the Union Station foun-
tain are the only swimming facilities
accessible to Billy and George and
hundreds like them in the overcrowd-
ed Central Area of Washington. Some
have no place to bathe, much less to
swim.
Billy and George and half a dozen
playmates, scrambling over the iron
steps Of a small two-family dwelling
in the 400 block Of H street, shouted
Justify when told that plans were un-
der way for reopening of the basement
swimming pool at the Y. w. G. A..
GA E street building. The Central
Neighborhod Council of Social Agen-
cies, assisted by The Star, is sponsor
ing a campaign for $3.50 to reopen
the pool for three or four months.
The Star has donated $l00.
Billy was visibly upset by the pros
pect Of POOLS opening in the neigh
borhood and him with no bathing
suit He came from behind the clouds
like the sun after the rain when in
formed that suits would be provided
or would not be required at all.
In the same block two families,
totalling nine, live in four tiny rooms
on a second floor. They share the use
of a single bath room in which, by
turns, they wash themselves and their
clothes. A thin mother sat listless
in the heat and EXPRESSED her ap-
proval Of the pool idea with as much
enthusiasm as she could muster. Her
voice was fat with fatigue and worry
as she told of he. sick husband, out
of job two years, and three children
with no place to romp except the
pavementS of II street.
A mother of two, considering herself
fortunate to have for the almost ex-
elusive use of her family bath room
the size of clothes closet, SAID her
husband was going OF relief" Thurs
day after long period of unemploy-
ment.
An ancient oath tub serves as q
swimming pool fer Louise Jones, Z,
and her sister Helen, 4. Clad IL. their
bathing suits, they splashed vigorous
approval Of a place where they could
make bigger splash.
The central area which the pro-
posed pool would ser5e is bounded by
the Mall, North Capitol street and
Eleventh and o streets It is swarm
ing with children living under hous-
ing conditions which Miss M. Edith
Coulson, secretary of the Neighbor-
hood Council, said we're ''the worst
I've seen in Washington" Fifty-two
per cent of the resident families are
on relief. damned into % alley dwell
ings are 531 persons.
Recreation facilities are limited and
are without bathing or wading ia
cilities.

tardy start because of the rain and
last nights festivities. The exciting
experiences OF Champagne, st. Mihiel
and the Argonne were reborn in retro
spect at a smoker last night in the
Cafe de Ia Crystallerie" on the Will
lard's tenth floor. The old war songs
were sung and unlucky was the vet
eran who couldn't remember the
snatches Of French picked up "over
there" Mattresses were directed to
serve nothing unless it was ordered
in French.
As guests Of Clark Grifith, who would
have preferred playing host on a more
happy occasion, the veterans saw
Detroit defeat Washington at base ball
yesterday. Other veterans were con-
Quoted through the Justice Depart
ment's crime laboratories.
A principal and popular speaker at
yesterdays brief business session was
former Gov. Wilbur E. Brucker of
Michigan. All speeches were short
and little business was transacted, in
line with convention officials an
nounced policy Of subordinating busi-
ness to fun.

ALASKAN COLONY
PLEASES OSBORN
Practically Admitted, but
Observer Asks Return
of MaIcontents.
BY ARVILE SCHALEBEN.

BY ARvILLE SCHALEBEN.
Special Dispatch to The Star.
PALMER, Alaska, July 13 (N.AN
A0.-The report of an independent
and unsympathetic observer agrees
with opinions of several Matanuska
Colony officials that the project Is
progressing satisfactorily.
The observer was Chase S. Osborn,
former Governor Of Michigan and
former Milwaukee newspaper man.
He telegraphed President Roosevelt:
II have just completed rigid exami-
nation of your Alaskan Matanuska
Colony. I have not found a single
critical or serious or sensational con-
dition in the colony-al this in spite
Of the fact that I am completely out
of sympathy with your administra-
ton"
Several colony officials are also
viewing the prospects Of the colony
more hopefully.
THE work of co-ordinating activi-
ties is nearly done and We are getting
set for real construction progress,
said Eugene Carr, F. E. r. A. CO.
ordinator.
Project Head Enthusiastic.
Don Irwin, project director, says,
"Things are looking fine"
THE health of the colonists is the
best it has ever been, and we are
ready for any medical emergency"
said Or. E. E. Ostrom.
There's certain to be shelter for all
by Winter" said Engineer Francis
Biggs.
Action is what we needed and I
think we're getting it," commented
Colonist Frank Ring.
In his inspection trip around the
colony Osborn ran into a group of
Michigan colonists who told him they
would have gone back if their trans
portation had been paid. They seemed
to think he had come to assist them
in returning, which was not the case.
Practical Aspects Cited.
After terming the scenery here far
superior to the little dinky noun
tains in Europe" Osborn said of the
colonization project: I think it is a
good thing. 1t will serve to call the
attention Of America to the marvels
of Alaska. It might even operate to
prove definitely whether Alaska has
agricultural possibilities. It's good
thing for the United States to preserve
some pioneering spirit
Il think it's marvellous that the
men here have done as much as
they have for the celonists up to the
present time. There may even have
been too much pampering, but I'm
getting quite pro-Matanuska.
Il do think, however, that it is the
duty of the Government to take back
every malcontent and establish him
in as nearly similar circumstances as
he had before he left for Alaska. In
this project, the Government acted as
real estate agent, and if the colonists
don't like to farm or are dissatisfied
with the land, they should be re-
turned. 1t would benefit those who
remain"
Osborn said he had found many
colonists who professed not to be pri-
marily farmers, and who were not
'sold' on the future here Many told
him conditions in the valley had been
misrepresented to them by the case
workers who signed them up for the
project.
