baths at Eighteenth and Broad Streets
*rid the proposal of .lohn P. Branch
In establish one somewhere In the
West End for the Brest arniv of the
unwashed In that section of the city.
Cucsiir Dlxon, chlor bottle washer and
laundrytnan at the eastern baths, says
he believes that charity could not
come In better form.
Caesar Dlxon loves water like a
duck. and. under hl? guiding example,
the ho\s of the East End. laborers
and factory worker?, mot hem, daugh?
ters ami sisters, have token to the
baths like the wharf rat takes to the
l iver. In the llrst balmy days of spring;
"Oon'i keep 'em out." said Dlxon.
"They come her? all hour;i of the day
and night They Just love to wash
the dirt off, Dlngrd If I don't bei leva
some of 'cm so out and ret mussed
up on purpose io come here and bath'-.
It's a good thing this way, too. you
know. Sonic 6' these here poor little
brats so to the river to balhe, anil
they're kinder keerleas about showln'
themselves,
"The law- says you potter have n
bathtn' suit, nnd who ever lu-Hrd of
a kid bavin' a bntitln' suit? Simply
ridiculous. If they go to the rlver
Bome modest wimmln complains, nnd
the kids go to court, ordered not to
wash. If they can't go to the river,
where can they go? Why, they can
come her-- now and clean up every
day. Instead ?r sneuktn' down to the
river when the cops ain't watchln'.
It's goln' to be a good thing In the
West' End, too. Them kids ain't got
nowhere to go. Most of "em ain't got.
any baths blgRor'n a soup tureen at
home, and they can't take a shower
In tho rain, like country boys do. Now
they can go to the Branch public
bat lift. loo. and you're goln' to see a
lot of clean, healthy citizens grow
In' up.
"1 tell you. you can do a whole lot
kids that ain't seen a basin o' water
and supply I n' wnter and soap than by

cleanliness nein' next tn godliness
more good by handln' out a few towel*
In three months ain't goln' tn Sunday
school. But you give 'cm a chance to
keep their bodies clean and they'll
conic pretty near to lookln' after the
rvlthcncsfl of Ihelr souls.
"Vcsslr, I think these public baths
are goln' to do a whole lot more good
thnn public libraries and free dis?
pensaries. There's more true religion
In a big tub o' water than In all the
