Washington should have more pools

People who learn to swim when
young find the ability invaluable for
exercise and recreation for long years
of life. Older people dislike learn
ing new physical activities later in
life, and most people hate to appear
as "dubs' in a popular pastime.
Therefore, The Starry. M. c. A.
swimming campaign is an excellent
supplementary educational project
when we consider prime objective
of education to be biological adjust
ment to live more wholesomely today

"Your learn-to-swim campaign de-

"Others who have expressed appre-

Of swimming as an important factor
in safety. I should like to suggest
still another value. In these days,
when the leisure-time problem Is so
pronounced, the ability to swim well
usually means a love for swimming
and this in turn leads to the enjoy

old to enjoy it and to participate in
it with safety so far as his own health
is concerned. This is not always true
of other sports learned in adolescence.

TRUCK HIGHWAYS
ASKED BY CITIZENS
BrightWood Association Cite
Damage to Homes by
Vehicles Vibration.

Establishment Of thoroughfares for
heavy motor trucks was advocated by
the Brightwood Citizens Association
last night at meeting in the Paul
Junior High School, after receipt of
complaints from residents of the
Brightwood vicinity of damage to
homes as result of vibration.
1t was pointed out that heavily
laden trucks travel at high speed on
Thirteenth street in the early morning
and that District government trucks
also are responsible in this connection.
Citizens complained that the interiors
OF their homes are being damaged by
cracked plaster and in time will result
in the exteriors being affected from
the vibration of heavy vehicles. The
matter is to be taken up with the Dis
trict authorities.
Further improvement in the tenn
porary walk around Fort Stevens will
be requested as 1t was reported that
persons could not use it Cor walking
purposes in the present condition.
In connection with the removal of
the center trolley poles on Georgia
avenue from Peabody street to the
District line the association was ad-
vised by the Public Utilities Commits
sion that in view of the 10-year pro-
gram 1t was not felt reasonable to
request the Potomac Electric Power
and Capital Transit Cos. to in
clude in this years budget the ex-
penditures that would be involved In
this connection.
The association will request the ap-
pointment of supervisor for the play
ground adjoining the Paul Junior High
School from March to November each
year. Efforts will also be made to
expedite the completion of the play

HUGHES, "A TODAY,
REMAINS AT WORK
Celebrates Birthday With
Usual Work of Court.
Bears Big Burden.
Nv the Associated Press.

ny the Associated PreSS.
Vigorous, alert and bearing more
than his share of the heavy court
work, Chief Justice Charles Evans
Hughes is celebrating his 74th birth
day anniversary today.
But is is no holiday for him. He
plans to attend the usual Saturday
afternoon conference with his eight
Supreme Court colleagues to decide
on cases already argued, and to agree
on what other controversies they will
pass on.
Named Chief Justice by President
Hoover in 1880, MIR. Hughes, one
time Republican presidential candi-
date, has been one of the most active
members on the bench.
A check of court records shows he
has written and delivered more opin-
ions this term than any of the others,
including several New Deal decisions,
has attended every session and has
dissented the fewest times.
In Majority All But Twice.
The Chief Justice assigns the writ
ing of opinions to the members of
the court when he is in the majority,
and this he has been in 116 of the
118 cases this term OF these opinions
he has written 81 himself. He has
dissented from the majority only
twice.
This is the second time that Chief
Justice Hughes has been on the highest
~, Ha c
governor of New York to accept ap-
pointment as an associate justice.
He served until June 10, 1916. when
he was nominated by the Republican
party as its candidate for President.
He was defeated by President Wilson.
Hughes was born at Glens Falls,
N. Y, April II, 1862. Admitted to the
New York Bar in 1884, he began
an active career that saw him teach
law, elected governor of New York,
named Secretary of State. chosen
chairman of the Washington Arms
Limitation Conference and made a
member of the World Court at The
Hague.
Retirement Not Expected.
He Is now eligible TO retire from the
bench at full pay, but few of his
friends expect that. Almost every day
he can be seen walking briskly near
his home, his favorite form of ex-
erciSe.
On the bench his eyes are sharp
and piercing. When he reads an
opinion he speaks clearly and force
fully. On occasion he will speak
sharply to attorneys arguing a case
If they stray from the points at
issue,
Mr.. Hughes, like many Of his COL
leagues, takes little part in the Capt.
tails social life, preferring to restrict
himself to the company of few close
friends.

 The source refused to say fatly whether this meant the governor was now convinced that the guilt for the kidnap murder of the Lindbergh baby lay, at least in part, with the consumptive little furrier who was business partner of Bruno Richard Hauptmann.
 The United Press learned, how- ever, that from now on much of the energy of the investigators as- sisting the governor will be direct- ed toward unearthing every pos- sible fact concerning the activities of Fisch from shortly before the Kidnapping until his poverty-stricken death in Germany months after- ward.
