Keep the Milk Clean!

The milk in one out OF. every two
bottles sold in the District Of Co
lumbia is unclean!
That is the impressive showing of
the special report just issued by
the hygienic laboratory of the Pub
lie Health and Marine Hospital Serv-
ice, and outlined in The Times Of
yesterday. A total of 452 samples
was examined. OF these, 242 re-
vealed OF per cent or more of dirt,
and SO many more samples CON
tanned traces Of dirt that the in
vestigators feel justified in conclud-
ing:
Comparatively few were abso-
lutely clean"
Here is real emphasis of the need
not so much TO fight for rich milk,
but to keep the milk free from dirt.
An unkempt stall, a milking with
soiled hands, q careless washing Of
cans-these are the causes of four
fifths of all the troubles traced TO
milk. The District standard as to
butter fat is high-3.5 per cent.
The best of cows occasionally yield
a product which viii not meet that
test. As this report says, mo one
could question the value Of such
milk as a food" But everyone who
knows the subject at all can and
does question the value of dirty
milk.
The important consideration for
Congress to bear in mind, then, as
it considers the several bills now
pending before it on this general
subject isl
What are the best safeguards to
keep the milk clean?
The need for new legislation along
those lines will be clear to anyone
who followed the markings of the
Agricultural Department when it
inspected and rated the dairies
which supply Washington. One, out
of a total of about 400, had a rating
Of 90. Three or four were above
so and so were marked Good" All
the rest were Poor"
No wonder that 53.5 per cent of
these latest samples were found to
be unclean!

manager. was given a benefit vaudeville
performance by the Psinter-Street
Amusement Company in Odd Fellows
Hall Friday evening. Mr.. Painter took
part in the performance. and his two
new one-act sketches provoked much
mirth.
The other numbers OF the program
were equally enjoyed. Several pupils of
Miss Cora Shreves' school danced
themselves into favor. The impersona-
lions of Al Griffith were literally ap-
plauded, and "Mlburn. the Mysterious, %
lived up to his name. Earl Wagner, the
boy violinist. was warmly greeted.
Miss Margaret z. ElwoOd's song and
dance work was exceptional. She Is the
talented little partner of Mr. Painter
who has amused Washington audiences
for FIVE years or more. Bert Street
showed TO good advantage as a Dutch
comedian, and his sketch with Mr..
Painter brought down the house

NEW YORK BANKS
FIGHT RECEIVERS
Oriental and Mechanics and
Traders Wage Court
Battle.

NEW YORK, Feb. "a red-hot court
battle. with millions Of dollars involved.
Is TO be the result OF Attorney General
Jackson's attempt TO throw into the
hands Of permanent receivers the ORR
entail, and Mechanics and Traders
Banks. as indicated by today's proceed
ings- Powerful financiers who are In
terested in the banks are opposing the
recetverships, as they want 10 attend 10
the liquidation of the banks themselves.
Jackson says these plans are neither
legal nor satisfactory.
First blood was scored for the fiaan-
clers late this afternoon, Whe1 an order
was secured from Justice Platzek direct
ing Jackson to show cause before JUS
tice O'Gorman on Tuesday why the ORR
entail receivership should not be vacated.
jackson wanted the teprorary re-
ceivers to hold over until the case
should come up late in March. On rem
resentation of attorneys of the Metro
politau Trust Company. which has ar
ranged 10 take over the OrientaPs af-
fairs, Justice Platzek ordered the hear
ing Tuesday. Some surprise was ex-
pressed at this. as Justice Platzek was
the officer who appointed the temporary
receivers Friday evening.
In financial circles it has been gener-
ally reported that the Mechanics and
Traders Bank would be able 10 con
tinue business, and it was understood
that new blood" was to be infused.
The appointment of receivers, therefore
came as a surprise.

OFFENSIVE AGAINST M00RS
TAKEN BY FRENCH FORCE

CASABLANCA. Morocco. Feb. %
General D'Amade, commander Of the
French forces, has taken the offensive
against the natives in the Chauia re-
gion, and has dispatched several col
umns Of French troops against Ma
daghra tribesmen in the vicinity OF FL
daila- These tribesmen engaged the
French troops in number of battles
on February Is and Is, when the French
lost four men and had twenty-seven
wounded

Wheels of Danger.

on signal from a member Of the police
force any vehicle should be required 10
slow down, and TO stop when necessary
10 insure safety.
This is a new regulation propos ed
to the Commissioners by the Chief
of Police. If it is adopted it vii.
mean the end of a nuisance which
has caused more starts and inspired
more picturesque protest than all
the automobiles in ten cities. The
nuisance is. of course, the swOOp
around corners of carriages and de-
livery wagons. And as a part of
the means to stop this nonsense,
Major Sylvester proposes also a reg
ulation TO read:
Business and delivery wagons should
be named or numbered that identity
may be had promptly In case OF acci-
dent.
1t is too much to expect, maybe,
that all this may be achieved in one
year. But the time win come when
even carriages viii be required to
be as considerate OF the pedestrian
public as automobiles.

NAGDALENA BAY
PORT Of ENTRY
Increased Trade VIII Be
Followed by Mary I'M
prOVementS.

Magdalena bay has been maGs a port
OF entry by the Mexican government.
This action is the result OF the in
creased trade at Magdalena bay be-
cause OF the coming OF the American
battleshiD feet, due there March II or
j.. The fleet Is expected 10 remain
there for target practice.
This action by the Mexican govern
ment will do away with he necessity
which has hitherto existed OF mer-
chant vessels with cargoes clearing
from American ports for Ensanada and
being obliged TO transport their car
goes from the latter point TO Mag
dalena bay as "coastwise cargoes," it
having been first required, Of course.
that the cargoes in question be entered
at the Ensanada custom house and the
duties paid at that port.
Notification of this action has been
received at the State and Navy Depart
ments through kilograms from Consul
General A. /. NJ. Gottschalk at Mexico
City. The action dates from Feb
ruary i.
The port will be under the charge
Of a skilled and experienced Mexican
customs Officer especially selected by
the Mexican treasury department for
that service.
Senior D. Rafael Castro Montana has
been designated as the new collector,
and he viii act as captain OF the port.
Though the bay viii be made a perma
nent port Of entry it was announced
by the Mexican government that the
Ttep was taken in direct view Of the
commercial movement whi-h the COM
ing of the battleship feet will inaugu-
rate.
In view OF the recent action by the
Mexican government It VIII probably
grant permission for the landing OF
large shore parties.
II will he recalled that the govern
ment endeavored 10 obtain for the
United States space at MagdaleHa bay
for the establishment OF a coaling sta
tiOE and base. but It was discovered
that such a grant would be IN violation
or the Mexican constitution and q was
refused

sion gets too busy to do some more
work. If the commission hasn't
sufficient executive capacity to eff
feet an organization which viii ham
die these matters, there is need to
get a new personnel on the COM
mission.
Senator Fulton's bill ought to
pass. The argument that it might
prevent lowering of rates is an an
eient and exploded one that the
British railroads used to employ be-
fore people learned that it was a
fake and a fraud, 1t has been inn
ported To do service in this coun-
try, after being demolished in Brit
ain. Fixing a maximum rate
amounts to fixing a minimum rate"
was a fine old maxim of the Eng
lish railroad lobbyists that held
good until there was experience
with it. 1t is now exploded. There
never was more to it than a sapient
sound. The fact is that unless a
limitation is placed on railroad rates
and on issues of railroad capitaliza-
ton, the two win continue rising
together.
Only a few months ago the rail-
roads were urging that they ought
to be allowed to raise rates, be-
cause times were good. Now they
are urging to be allowed to raise
them because times are bad! Where
does the public come in?
When the regulating authority
begins thus early 10 shun new tasks
and new responsibilities, it augurs
i'll for the cause of public regula-
ton.

Duchess Sails
To See Mother
About Divorce

LONDON, Feb. 29.-The Duchess of
Marlborough formerly Miss Consuelo
Vanderbilt, Of New YORK;. left London
today for Liverpool. where she viii
take the Cunard line steamship Luz
cania, for New York She is going to
New York primarily TO visit her mother.
Mrs Belmont formerly Mrs. William X.
VanderbilD, and is expected back In
London early in April.
Friends Of the duchess declare that
she will discuss with her mother the
possibility o. obtaining a divorce in New
York courts. The duchess, however,
never expresses any views on this mat
ter.
II is known that her mother-in-law.
Lady BIandford, had frequently urged
the duchess, If only IN justice TO her
self, TO endeavor TO obtain a divorce,
be free TO marry again and TO not
waste the best years Of her life in self
imposed widowhood. II IS stated that
the real object Of the duchess visit 10
New York is to seek her motehr's ad-
vice on this subject.
The duchess has been rather restless
lately, and not so enthusiastic in the
charitable work into which she flung
herself after her separation from the
duke. She has shown a tendency 10
shirlz the ordeal OF appearing at charit-
able meetings and other functions.
Recently she took a fancy to rent a
country cottage in Staffordshire. She
remained there only part Of a fortnight,
however, and returned to London. The
duke is never seen in Sunderland house,
nor IS his name mentioned by the
duchess. When he comes TO London he
stops in the Ritz Hotel When in
Woodstock he spend his time hunting.
