CASES MUST
BE THICKER
Pennsy InSiStSThat Shipments
Must be Packed
Better

BY reason of the losses which have
been suffered by both railroads ana
shippers, because of improper and in
secure packing Of freight. the 416 lines
Of the Official Classification territory
have decided. beginning tomorrow, to
require the use of more secure boxes.
At the present time. Official Classin-
cation rule 2CB) stipulatcs that Prop
erty packed in boxes or cases made
from strawboard. leatherboard, wood
pulp, fibre. wired splintwood, or other
analogous material, will be charged
ten per cent higher than the classih.
cation provided for such property"
It is now intended to penalize by add
ing twenty per cent: to the regular rate
on all packages not packed in strong
boxes coming up to the requirements
which are set forth with great deail in
the new rule covering this point.
1t is believed by railroad traffic ex-
perts that the introduction of cheap
substitutes for substantial wooden
casas IS responsible for Z. large mum
Der of damages" to goods in transit
which should rot occur. American
Consuls abroad have long protested
that bad packing lost a vast amount
of trade to American exporters. The
abuse has become Of equal seriousness
in respect to domestic shipments.
At the present time fruit is often
shipped in paper-thin crates which are
sometimes literally churned to pulp in
transit. Tobacco is sent by rail in
strawboard cases that can be perfor-
ated with a lead pencil. A shipment
of tobacco in small bags arrived not
long ago at Philadelphia with one-thir1
of the strawboard case so badly dam.
aged that the contents could be easily
removed through the breaks. Heavy
hardware is seldom packed carefully
enough to keep it from breaking
through its casing.
The railroads regard il as impossible
to prevent damage under such condi-
tions. 1t is believed that the time win
come. unless shippers are more careful
in their packing. when tire carriers viii
be forced to specify exactly how ali
commodities shall be packed, and re-
fuse to receive them for shipment un-

HOUSE FLY CENSUS
IS TO BE TAKEN

A house-hy census is being taken In
Washington and Pittsburg by the Bur-
eau Of Entomology Of the Department
of Agriculture and the Marine Hos
pital Service. with a view to gaining
further evidence as to whether flies
carry germs OF typhoid. Investigations
heretofore made appear to show that
wherever the fly population is large the
number of typhoid cases is also large.
1t is assumed that the relative density
of fly population in given districts can
be ascertained by the distribution Of
an unvarying number Of sheets of fly
paper always put in the same places.
These sheets are taken TO the Bureau
Of Entomology and counted and the
total Is entered on the record of each

KNOX AND ROBIN
IN AN ARGUMENT
Water Commissioner and City
BaCteriOIOeist Discuss
Water Filtration

In a long statement to the Board
Of Water Commissioners yesterday
afternoon, DIR. A. Robin, City Bacter-
iologist, pointed out that an epidemic
of sickness is likely to occur in this
city at any time, as a result Of the
pollution of the Brandywine. He also
criticised the authorities for holding
up the completion Of the new wate-
system.
Commissioner Knox and DIR. Robin
got into an argumen over the matter
Of water filtration and the former
sharply questioned the bacteriologist.
Mr.. Knox said that he once asked DR..
Robin how Wilmington stood with re-
gard to typhoid fever and the doctor
replied that the rate here was greater
than in any city in the country and
that Wilmington and Philadelphia
stood alone i'm this respect.
Mr.. Knox said that at the time DR..
Robin made this statement to him, hs
(Mr Knox had data in his pocket
showing that the typhoid rate in WASH
ington, ID. c., where there was sand
filtration, was three times greater than
Wilmington.
Mr. Knox pointed TO Baltimore a.
a city where general good health pre-
walls, yet the city did not filter iis
water, merely having sedimentatio
reservoirs
DR.. Robin made the suggestion that
If his statements regarding Whining
toms water supply were not believed
the matter should be left to three ex-
perts to test their truth. He agreed &C
appoint one Of these men, Mr. Knox
the other, and the two, a third.
Mr.. Ford defended Dr. Robin. Ht
said that he had investigated state
ments made by the bacteriologist an.
had asked questions propounded b,
him of expert water engineers and bac
teriologists and received the same re
plies from them as Dr. Robin had pro
viously impaired to him.
1t was decided to send a copy o
DR.. Robins report 10 Council so tha
the responsibility Of voting for or re
fusing the 100000 loan to finish tn
water system might be put up to tn ,
body No action was taken, however
with regard to appointing a commits
sion to Investigate the statements mad
by DR.. Robin.
