How Things Have Changed?


"June 30, 1922. Washington policeman Bill Norton measuring the distance
between knee and suit at the Tidal Basin bathing beach after Col. Sherrell,
Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds, issued an order that suits
not be over six inches above the knee."

This site has some other interesting pictures from days gone by.

Thanks for sharing that site. I really enjoy looking at old photos.

I didn't remember having to go turn the porta-potties back up until you mentioned it. LOL!
