Weather conditions and general forecast
Since Saturday cold wave has moved
from the central valleys over the Atlantic

ly. shifting to westerly. gales and snow
followed by clearing weather in the mid
die Atlantic and New England states. In
the south Atlantic and east gulf states rain

reported in eastern Kentucky and eastern
Tennessee. Snow is also reported in the
lower lake region.
An area of low barometer is developing
over Utah and the barometer is high on
the north Pacific coast over the north
central districts and over Florida
The indications are that the plateau re-
gion disturbance will move eastward and
cause warmer and c,oudy weather over
the southwestern states tonight and Tues
day.
In the Ohio valley and the middle and
south Atlantic states the weather will be
more or less cloudy and will begin to mod
crate Tuesday.
In the north Atlantic states and the lower

Necessity for Pure Water.

The report says:
AT the instance of the Game and Fish
Protective Association Of the District Of CO.
lumbta an amendment has been adopted by
the committee providing for an appropria-
tion of 5000 to enable the commissioner OF
fish and fisheries to investigate and report
on the effects of pollution in interstate riv-
ers upon the fish. fry, spawn, fish food.
piankton and riparian vegetation of such
waters.
The necessity for pure water is so evil
dent that the committee does not deem IT
necessary to make any argument for the
necessity of proper investigation as to the
sources of such streams furnish water
to cities and towns. All contamination
and pollution, of drinking water especially,
should be removed. and the purpose of this
bill Is to ascertain the sources of contamina-
ton or pollution in all rivers and streams
from which supply of water is furnished
to the people of more than one state or
territory. This duty is devolved upon the
marine hospital service because it has all
the facilities for making such inves;iga-
ton.
The amendment suggested by the Game
and Fish Protective Associa ton of the Dis
trict of Columbia is most important ore.
and the facts and reasons for such an
amendment are set forth in the memorial
of said associa ton, which is herewith filed
