Shift 10 Natural Gas
lin D. {. Termed FOLLY

John D. Battle, executive secretary
Of the National Coal Association,
yesterday denounced as criminal
folly" the proposal that Washington
change from manufactured to ma
tural gas.
In a statement issued through the
association, Mr.. Battle said use of
natural gas would create unemploy-
ment in the coal fields and in the
gas works here, would cause bust
ness hardship on coal dealers and
would create a new defense hazard.
National defense is the upper
most consideration today and Sec
ondly is the vital question of perma-
nent unemployment of the jobless
and achieving stabilized industrial
economy" he said.
"This proposal brought forward
a few days ago by the engineer con-
sultant of the District of Columbia
Public Utilities Commission, to put
the gas system of Washington and
its suburbs on a 100 per cent natural
gas basis, flagrantly violates both
of these considerations.
"It is the height Of folly, at a
time when every energy is being
channeled to meet the needs of
national defense, to embark upon a

is made to suggest the type of gift
which would mean most to a family,
rather than relying solely on the
distribution of Christmas baskets.

which arc such important links in
the life of a modern community, there
is none which eXertS a greater influ-

cycle which has inevitably resulted
in benefit to the telephone user.

noculations and ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
S, preventing contagious diseases
With the care OF the county poor and
The prisoners constituted the chief
work of the health officer or county
loctor as he was then known. Many
people yet feel that our work should
principally be the medical care of
the INDECENT throughout the county;
and as the physician for all school
children. We agree that this is no.
BILE and greatly needed work, but
does not come within the scope of
the health officer or his nurses. This
kind of service TO our people is in
the care of the welfare department,
and whenever the welfare officer
finds medical work thai is 10 be fur
nished by the county, then the coun-
ty health department works with,
and on suggestion Of, the welfare de
partment.
If any certain case of illness is not
of contagious nature that is apt TO
cause, or may cause, an epidemic OF
disease, then that case is not for the
public health officials to handle. We
are concerned about the private i'll
ness Of 4 person only when that i'll
ness may be, or can become, of pub
.ic concern Such diseases as typhoid
fever, tuberculosis, measles, diph-
iberia, etc, arc the concern of the
health. department. Appendicitis,
cancer, heart and kidney ailments are
not the care of the health depart
mcnt. We work for the public in
groups or communities, not for the
individuals. Our basis of interest is
the disease, not the person. A study
of the above will bring a better I'M
derstanding Of our position and our
work.
We have in recent years had added
to our work the campaign against
venereal disease. This is clearly Of
public concern and much time and
money is spent in controlling and
graduating this great Scourge which
is especially prevalent among our
colored population. In our routine
examinations for all purposes we
find approximately 20 percent Of
adult colored infected. The health
department treats approximately ITS
persons per month, 20 Of which num-
Der are white. In this one item hun
dredS of dollars per month Of medi-
cal service is rendered.
tuberculosis clinics held twice a
year constitute another project that
is accomplishing much good both in
early cases found, and in getting the
public tuberculosis-minded. Our

creased during the past twelve
months from Is to "a beds. In these
as in other of our programs the bene-
fits are not only TO those treated but
to future generation yet unborn.

BY ROBERT HENRY.

Besides being recognized as the
best show ring rider in the country,
Bobby Roby was one Of the most
likeable horsemen ever to win a
blue ribbon. Bobby died yesterday
after a long illness and his passing
leaves a gap that probably never
will be filled. He was widely known
for his consistent ability to start
young horses on the path to show
ring honors. and while he seldom
talked about himself his saddle
deeds were subject of much discus
sion around Washington today.
Since Bobby started riding some
20 years ago he had guided hun
dreds of the best hunters, jumpers
and saddle horses in the game to
countless championships and when
ever an owner figured his horse
needed extra education it usually
was Bobby he sought. The owner
knew that if the horse had any
ability at all this slim, dreamy eyed
young man would bring it out, and
quickly.
Charley Carrico, one of Wash
ington's most capable show veterans,
started Bobby riding around 1920.
Then about 10 years old, Bobby
would take a street car to Charley's
place and scurry around barefoot
as horses were being schooled. One
bright Easter morning Bobby showed
up in his best Sunday outfit and
allowed that he'd like to ride one
Of those wild horses"
Showed Aptitude at Start.
Il thought he was kidding" ,"
Charley recalled today. "Most kids
want to ride a pony, but not Bobby.
I gave him lift up and led him
around for awhile. He took to it
like he'd been doing it for years:
knew how to hold the reins and all
that sort of thing. Soon after that
he rode in his first show, the WASH
ington show across the river where
the airport now is located. Rode a
mare called Revelry and won a blue
right off,"
After that Bobby started riding
every day and would go out with
Carrico and other oldtimers to the
jumping grounds in Rock Creek
Park. Almost every one who rode
around Washington would meet
there on Sunday mornings and hold
contests. Sometimes the sport got
rough, but that didn't stop Bobby.
HE would jump anything you told
him to jump" Carrico said. He
liked to ride in races, too, and when
the Rockville Fair rolled around
each summer Bobby always was
looking around for a mount. He
won his share"
Around 1925 Bobby started to re-
ceive recognition. Ray Norton, who
owned many classy young horses,
needed a light boy who could handle
potential champions. After watch
ing Bobby school a rambunctious
3-year-old at Carricos place one
day, Norton decided the lad was
just what he wanted. II got him to
ride for me-" Norton related, and
it wasn't long before I figured 1
couldn't have made better Sc
lection"
Bobby made" such great horses
