Until lately American practice in the
matter Of garbage disposal has not
been a matter for national pride. Two
methods have been common: insight

refuse have benin some places still

Grated by greedy or dishonest private
contractors have been run for a few
years and then allowed to lapse into
well-earned oblivion. Neither pro-
cedure is creditable to civilized state.
There is really no need for a continu-
ance of the offensive and wasteful
methods that have been commonly en-
plOyed in this country says the Journal
Of the American Medical association.
At least two methods of garbage dis
posal have proved effective in typical
American cities: Incineration and re-
duction In the incinerating type all
kinds of refuse. ashes, paper, rags.
scraps of food, kitchen waste, etc, are
fed together into crematories and burn
ed In European works of this type
the heat generated by the combustion
with a forced draft is a source of con-
siderable revenue One Of the best
examples Of an moderator plant in
this country is the Milwaukee inciner-
ator. which has been in fun operation

kee plant the cost of disposal reached
as high as $1.37 per ton of garbage.
while the cost of the new plant is less
than 60 cents per ton. If the excess
supply of steam generated at the plant
is economically utilized the actual cost
will be further greatly reduced.
In garbage reduction works the sort
ed garbage is passed through various
digestors, tanks and roller presses with
view to extracting the valuable pOr-
tons, especially the rats and the nitro
genOus matters. The Columbus (OhiO)
plant, put in operation in July, 1910, is
the first reduction plant in this coun-
try designed and constructed by a mu-
nicipality Successful financial opera
ton of this plant appears in tha fact
that it netted $4,000 a month tor the
first six months.
The reasonable and business-like
way of approaching the garbage dis
posal question is the employment of a
reputable and competent engineer to
examine LEGAL conditions and report on
such topics as the most economical
routes for collection and transporta-
ton, the establishment and location
OF one or more centers for disposal.
and the final method OF trcatment--in-
cineration or reduction-bes suited
TO the amount or nature of the refuse
gathered Small towns should beware
OF the man with patented machinery.
In all cases the expert man is be ter

WEATHER CONDITIONS.

The western low has decreased in in
tensity and extends from the southern
plateau sections and Texas northward
TO Saskatchewan. This disturbance has
been attended by precipitation on the
gulf and north Pacific coasts and in
Montana. Rains in the Atlantic states
and in the eastern portion of the lake
region have also accompanied a de-
crease in pressure in those sections
The pressure is now highest in the up
per Mississippi valley and the upper
lakes and on the north Pacific coast.
Owing to this distribution of air pres
sure, generally fair weather, without
much change in temperature, is indi-

The establishment of Camp Coco

true that the people of Washington are

this particular instance neither expla-
nation nor apology is necessary. The
sight of the hundreds of little children

lous heart.
These children, who are taken out ot

little ones. Its expenditure is philan.

MUSIC PREVENTS
PANIC IN CHURCH
Edifice Fired by Lightning
During Graduation.

Trenton, N. J., June 1.-THE playing
of the star Spangled Banner" served to
stave of a panic in the Baptist Church
at Hightstown, into which more than q
thousand persons had packed themselves
tonight to hear the commencement eE'
ercises of Peddie Institute.
The proceedings were scarcely under
way when lightning rent the steeple
above the church and instantly extin-
guished every light in the building.
The Inevitable cry OF Fire was raised
in the rear of the church, but almost be-
fore It was uttered the orchestra struck
up in the darkness the opening strains
Of the popular anthem.
The effect was magical Principal R
w. Swetland, who occupied the center Of
the platform, spoke reassuringly to the
frightened audience. calming the fears Of
the timid by telling them there was ne
danger.
Lamps were lighted, and the chances
of an orderly exit from the church
seemed bright. when there came again
the terrified cry Of Fire"
By this time the excitement OF the
audience could not be stayed, and there
church. Men and women made a wild
and indiscriminate rush for the exit
which the few cool heads found It i'm
possible to prevent.
During the panic more than a score
of persons tainted, and many of then
had to be carried from the building. II
the melee dozens were bruised and hurt
but miraculously, as 1t seemed, not on
was seriously injured.
While the audience was jamming IL
way through the rear exits, a fire, kindlet
by the lightning, was eating up tn
steeple, 1S5 feet from the ground above
the church.
The fire was too high for anything II
Hightstown to reach, and a call for hell
was sent to Trenton. The electrical ap
paratus from this city was sent out a
once, but by the time the sixteen inter
vening miles had been covered there wa
little left OF the church to save. The
building was practically destroyed, tn
loss being estimated at $4,000

Mamie replied that she was member

had a perfect right to talk as long and
as often as she wished. Hooks tried to

Fighting the Race Track Evil.

Believing that the wave of reform
which swept over New York State dur
ing the administration of Gov Hughes,
and which led to- the abolition of the
race track evil, has subsidized, the advo-
Gates OF betting have presented some
amendments to the legislature which
will have the effect of restoring the old
conditions.
II is pleasing to note that the pub
licity which has been given to the mat
ter has resulted in an organization to
defeat the proposed Legislation. The
Federation of City Churches in New
York, for instance, has begun cooper

and notices are to be sent 10 all church

secrecy.

Washington's Advanced Stand.

1t is a matter for felicitation that
while the delegates to the national con-
ference of charities and corrections, now
in session in Boston, are discussing the
necessity for new methods in the treat
ment of vagrants, we have in actual
operation here the identical system
which is being advocated as a true
solution of the problem.
In New York, for instance. the care
of vagrants and tramps in penitentiaries
jails, and warehouses, where they are
kept practically in idleness, costs $2,ooo,-
600 a year. Vagrancy is increasing, and
the cheap lodging house evil is in large
measure responsible The New York
authorities are now endeavoring to es-
tablish farm colonies where these more
or less worthless people can be given
out-of-door employment and made to
render some tribute in the form of
labor. In Cleveland the experiment is
already being tried. Prisoners who
would ordinarily be sent to the work
house are taken out into the country,
and, according to the superintendent
OF charities of that city, ''they go away
bronzed, accustomed to woIk, with a
new determination and a new grip"
This is exactly the system which has
been established in this city. The re-
suit of the investigation of the prison
reform commission showed that little
or nothing was accomplished by the inn
prisonment of the vagrant class in a
workhouse 1t was upon the recon-
mendation of this commission that the
site for reformatory was obtained near
Occoquan, Va, and there the prisoners
are sent They live and work in the
open air, and the acres which they cul-
tivate are made to yield a substantial
return.
1t is worth while, when so much Is
being said about the shortcomings of
the National Capital, to know that we
are more than abreast of the times in
the matter of the treatment of the large
class OF human beings whose care is
ordinarily a tax upon the community
ard whose idleness is a curse to So
ciety.
