Over Bonus City hung the constant threat of pestilence. Flies swarmed. Garbage lay half buried. The men bathed in the Eastern Branch (Potomac), virtually an open sewer. Twenty-three cases of communicable disease were spotted but were lost in the crowd. The air reeked with filthy smells. Eight men were reported to have died. Food was poor. Scabies broke out. Public health officers declared conditions were "frightful." warned of a "terrible epidemic" which might suddenly fan out from the camp across the city and country. A 24-hour quarantine was set up for new arrivals and a special camp with...

Analysis has shown that under proper conditions varsity rowing is not injurious to health, but there is, nevertheless, a constant threat of over-strain.

When John Hughes Curtis began to tell his tale of mysterious boat trips and constant failures to bring Col. Lindbergh into contact with the men he said were in possession of the child, Col. Schwarzkopf lent a polite, attentive ear. Mr. Curtis described and gave the approximate position of the fishing smack on which he had supposedly interviewed the child's captors. The Coast Guard sent 39 craft and three amphibian planes to find it, with no success. His identification of the criminals by nicknames proved similarly untrustworthy. At last, early on the fifth morning after the child's body...
