Voyage in kyak Results Wetting
 Two Occupants

Kyaking late last night result ed in a cold bath for two native girls, Madeline and Genevieve Paul, it was revealed this morn ing.
 The Coast Guard was called out with it's motor launch, but luckily the girls had been res cued by row boat sent out from Lomen's dock.
 They had been padding around in the single-hole kyak, one girl facing to the front and the other to the rear, and about midnight decided to paddle down the beach toward home.
 When about opposite the dock, the kayak rolled over, leaving the two girls clinging to each end of it, and hollering for help.
 They were fished out of Boring Sea, slightly cold, but otherwise suffering no ill affects of their ducking.

NAVAL HOSPITAL
TO BE DESIGNED
AS SKYSCRAPER
President Indicates His
Choice of Plans

The new $5.O00,O00 naval hos
pital which will be erected in the
District of Columbia next year,
possibly will have one large cen
trail building of skyscraper design,
while radiating from it like spokes
Of a wheel will be a series of low
pavilions.
This was explained by President
Roosevelt at his press conference
in response to an inquiry con.
corning visit to his office by
Rear Admiral P. S. Rossiter,
surgeon general Of the Navy.
TYPES OF BUILDINGS
The resident explained there
are two possible types Of hospital
buildings, one the vertical type
and the other the horizontal type.
The former would be a hospital
in a tall office building type of
structure, the other would be low
one or two story buildings.
The President indicated he had
chosen a combination of the two
so the new hospital probably will
be tall central building with low
pavilions radiating from it.
EASILY ENLARGED
The tall building would be the
administrative center and contain
kitchens, etc. Beds would be in
the pavilions. He indicated the
pavilionS would be so arranged
and planned that they could be
expanded four or five times in
size and number.
The President has yet to inspect
at least two possible sites for the
hospital. He has inspected sites
near the Dalecarlia reservoir and
Georgetown; but still expects to
visit a site near Fort Dupont in
east Washington and one or two
others yet to be determined.

FISCAL FORMULA
HEARING PLEDGED
Senator Thomas Invites
Views of D. c. Heads on
Drastic Slash.

District officials will be given full
opportunity to present their views on
the new fiscal relations formula, which
drastically reduces Federal participa-
ton in the upkeep Of the National
Capital, before the District subcommit-
tee of the Senate Appropriations Com
mittee. Senator Elmer Thomas, sub
committee chairman, said late yes
terday.
Until he has had time to read the
report, Senator Thomas withheld COM
ment on the formula proposed by the
Presidents committee, but urged that
the report be analyzed thoroughly to
avoid injustice either to the District or
Federal Government.
Senator Capper Of Kansas, ranking
Republican on the District legislative
committee, upon learning Of the deep
cut the formula would make in the
Federal payment next year, said:
Il don't think they have been fair
to the District"
He also said he did not believe Con-
greSs would sanction the plan, which
slashes the Federal payment from
$5, ,000,O 900 to approximately $4,000, 900
next year.
Without going into the detailed rec
concentrations in the report at this
time, Chairman Thomas Of the sub
| committee made the following general
observation:
I'VE are working on very compli-
Gated matter in dealing with the basis
of fiscal relations. 1t ought to be
studied thoroughly and carefully, sc
that no mistake will be made that
would do injustice to either the Dis
trict or Federal Government. We are
making progress by having this study
presented for further consideration,
otherwise the probabilities are that
in a few years the Federal Govern
ment would cease to contribute any
thing toward upkeep of the city.
II hope those in charge of the Dis
trict government will analyze the re-
port, and they certainly will be well
come before my committee to present
their reactions"
Senator King, Democrat, Of Utah
chairman of the District legislative
committee, said he would make a
study Of the report, and if he reached
the conclusion it was unfair to the
District he would favor higher figure
The Senator said he still adheres tc
his view that il District taxes are
made comparable to the States hi
would favor as a Federal paymen,
whatever additional amount wa
deemed necessary to develop the Ma.
tional Capital properly.
