LEIS ®. YE ~JASHINGTON LETTER, special 10 The Commercial. official Washingbon will have some- thing to do beside going to the ball games after the glorius fourth is past and gone. Congress will by that time have got down to a hard grind again, with the Senate ding-donging away ab tariff bill and probably the House en- grossed with the banking and currency islation. Ge is little attempt to conceal the fact that Congresc does not relish the task of revising the currency laws this summer. Washington is not famed for the salubrity of its summer climate. A temperature of 100 degrees is not uncommon here and the Congressmen are not keen about remaining here during the dog days, butif the country expresses an anxiety that the financial system of the country be reformed at this session, Congress will bow to the verdictiand buckle down to work. SOCIOLOGICAL REFORMS. It is interesting to see the White Housefgiving inspiration to the work- ers in the field of humanity. Both the President and Mrs. Wilson are in- terested not only in making Washing- io a model city from an artistic stand- point and inits system of government, but in making it the best place in the country for the people who ordinarily enjoy but few of the advantages that come g¥most unasked to the rich. By personal Binyestigation Mrs. Wilson has become§acquainted with the dis- trossing conditions prevailing among the many alley homes in Washington, and itis directly through her benificent interest that congressmen are asking what they can do to improve the slums and wipe out conditions which make for disease andjerime. : While Washington is studying this question, it may be well to submit that the San Diego Exposition there will be a practicatillustraction in 1915 of what a modelicity;should be. The buildings now going up there will be permanent, fireproof, sanitary structures em body- ing the latest ideas and the most re- cent improvements. : The exposition itself will constitute a model municipality,fso far as the physical features of it are concerned, } with a perfect water and sewerage plant, complete lighting arrangement, an emergencyfhospital which has for months past fbeen at the service of those building the exposition,anursery for children, ress rooms for visitors, amusements andfplay grounds, in short everything that can be devised for the wellfare, comfort and amusement of the public. The whole will be set in a set in a great garden with good roads, smooth paths, and a surprising profdion of flowers and ornamental shrubs and tree bordering velvety lawns. As a model city exhibit the San Diego Exposition will be well worth the consideration of all who are interested in city planning and in the elimination of slums from cities. pa ger Clears the Complexion.
