Urges Better Drinking
Water at Mount Vernon

To the Editor of The Star:
I think it is about time that those
in charge Of Mount Vernon do some
thing about furnishing visitors with
decent drink Of water on the
grounds. Sunday afternoon hundreds
Of men, women and children with
parched throats could get no water
The only water or the grounds, and
which is hardly fit to drink and very
little of it, is an old antiquated and
unavoidable pump. If this is pur-
posely done for the benefit of outside
concessions, then say it Is o racket
and should be stopped.

Though money may reward romance
When cruel lawyers take a chance

That heart balm may perhaps exist.

From brushes that refuse to stop

A Rhyme at Twilight
By
Gertrude Brooke Hamilton.
Nocturnal

Out from the city to spaces where
The armament gives the only light
Day-tired people drive at night,
Seeking release from the bonds Of
care,
Seeking the deep starlight.
Moons give to the heart and brain
Shifting shadows, effulgence bright,
Black-patched woods and roads of
white,
Dreams that border too close on pain!
No shadows stare In the soft blue
night
Driving in deep starlight. A

within thousands of dollars Of the
actual total invested here, including
all buildings, homes, cabins, ETC., ST.
100000 would not be far amiss. This
total is in addition to the $1,000.-
900 spent for construction of Mason
City, by the MWAK.
Four To One Ratio
The rule followed most generally
in figuring out population Of boom
towns is to multiply the payroll by
four, making the total population
here close to the 10000 mark. About
three people live off of everyone
employed at the dam site construc-
ton proper, as a general rule.
The authorization Of the high dam
will boost the population mark to

corresponding increase in business

Most of the home lots are selling
from 500 to $3.50 and on the in
stallment plan while business lots
range from $3.50 all the way up to

Japan, it is explained, claims no salts
faction for the affair in the form OF
railway, aviation or economic rights, as
it seeks in Hopei Province, but requires
adequate punishment of the persons
actually responsible for the obnoxious
article and of the Kuomintang ma
tionalist party officials who permitted
its publication.
The former Shanghai Sino-Japanese
imbroglio, which led to weeks of fighting
between organized bodies of troops,
grew out of local incident hardly more
important than the lese majestic episode
now provoking friction between the two
peoples. For the moment no bigger
than the shadow cast by a mans hand,
it is one of those things easily capable,
in the present explosive condition Of
Sino-Japanese relations, of growing into
an affair of genuine gravity. The
reverence of the Japanese for their
sovereign is proverbial. Whenever they
feel that the sacredness with which they
endow his person Is violated, there exists
an issue for which the sons Of Nippon
are ready to do and die. 1t is that
spirit which clothes the Shanghai

The Commissioners request for a sup
Elementary appropriation of $4,000 for
the Health Department, resulting from
the arbitrary elimination of requested
increases for the Health Departments
current years budget, is now before the
Budget Bureau. 1t has been confidently
predicted by some members of Congress
that if the Budget Bureau approved the
request, it would be granted by Congress.
If any additional argument as to the
need for this money were necessary
and to those who have studied the local
problem none is necessary-it has been
furnished in the release OF statistics
which give Washington the unenviable
distinction of having moved from third
to second place among the major cities
of the United States in death rate from
tuberculosis.
This gain in standing has taken place
despite the small reduction of two per
cent in the city's death rate during 1884
as against 1888 Washingtons percent
age of l2O per 100000 population is to
be compared with the average for the
country of 500.
The reductions in the Health Depart
ments budget for the current fiscal
year were made in the face of pleas by
Dr. Rutland, the new health officer,
supported by the medical and lay
organizations of the community, for
funds with which to finance a new
and enlarged program in preventive
health education and early examina-
ton and diagnosis of school children
The campaign was to be directed
chiefly against tuberculosis. Should the
reductions stand, the Health Department
will not only be unable to undertake
this necessary work, but will even be
forced to furlough some of its regular
staff and diminish its normal activities
Assuredly the President and the
Budget Bureau will help to correct what
otherwise promises to be a grave if
not fatal error of judgment by the
appropriating Congress.

KubuShiro reminded him, that was
exactly the answer she received when
she made the same inquiry on visit
to Washington twenty-nine years ago.
But one fears that Mr. Degges was
too modest. Aside from what the public
schools may be doing, or not doing, the
MOVIES are making what are sometimes
referred to as Great Strides in this field.

to the titles of the current cinema and
