II Is generally supposed that polluted water is
mainly responsible for the spread Of typhoid fever.

there are other causes for the spread Of typhoid.
OF the most serious OF which is the fy. Flies

by milk, by vegetables. by shell FISH and by con-
tact. But OF these, flies the most dangerous.
There is much to learn about typhoid fever and
its causes. Recently a board OF experts

typhoid IN Washington

DR.. F. J. Mann said: "The Hudson River is
the logical source OF the water supply for New
York City. Sooner or later New York will get
its water from the Hudson. OF course, filtration
plants will have to be used. but by the use OF
those plants 99ia per cent OF the pollution and
impurity OF the water will be done away with"

TE4CHERS SCARCE.
Don't Want to accept Appoint
mentS IN Other BOrOurbs.

One OF the difficulties in nlling vacancies in the
public schools. II was learned yesterday. was the
disinclination OF many OF the teachers named 70
accept appointments In other horoughs than Man
haitian. George :. Davis. associate city superin-
tendeut, who Is chairman OF the committee on ap-
poutments designations and transfers. said: Many
OF those appointed 10 teach in Manhattan
account OF the opportunity for study and social
advantages In the larger borough. There has al
ways been some difficulty In getting the successful
candidates TO accept appointments in the boroughs
OF Richmond. Queens and Brooklyn. There are
not enough candidates the eligible list residing
In Queens and Richmond TO take the vacant post
tons in tho schools In that territory
There are at present forty-one vacancies in
Brooklyn and thirty in Queens Vacancies in the
other boroughs with places in special classes TO
be filled amount TO 10 These places cannot be
filed until a eligible list is made after
the examinations in January. II is probable that
tho appointments Will be made not sooner than
April
THE situation is not bad II seems" said
Mr.. Davis The need for teachers has been in
creasing because each year the register OF the
number of pupils has increased. But the problem
of getting enough teachers is no greater than II
was last year" Mr.. Davis believes that the change
OF the OF studies for teachers in the Normal
College, which extended the time for training the
candidates. also responsible to some extent
for the scarcity OF the supply.

Sir: We have read your notice in The Tribune
OF the action Of the Pitsburg shcpkeepers IN ref

ton. The general department and dress OF soma
Of the shop girls is very deplorable. The extreme
pompadours. short sleeves and. worse than ALL the

stand behind counters could know that they are

take more pride In their appearance.
