SAVING THE FALLS.

Niagara Falls will yet be saved The
Burton act, which expired March 4, will
be renewed, if Congress responds to
public sentiment, and this will insure
continued restrictions on the water
power companies; but an equally strong
check on the work of tapping the
Niagara river above the falls appears in
the recommendation made to the New
York Legislature to tax the power com
panies. Canada does this already. In
New York the power companies, it ap-
pears, pay nothing for their privileges,
though these privileges involve the
fame and attractiveness of the most
majestic cataract on the globe, nor do
they give the public any more favorable
rates for power than may be obtained in
Boston or New York Now it is pro-
posed that this policy of get every thing
and give nothing should be radically
changed for the benefit of the State,
which at present not only grants free
franchise to the power companies but
pays out $50, 600 year for the mainten-
ance of the public reservation at the
falls.
But even if these efforts should fall
through, there is another strong reason
for predicting that the falls will be pre-
served, and that is an industrial one.
Lord Kelvin indicated the unitarian
point of view when he said that Niagara
would some day be dried up by power
development. Unsentimental engineers
today advocate that this should be done,
for they say the people need power
rather than poetry. But traffic on Lake
Erie needs sailing room even more than
the country around the falls needs water
power, and since the Niagara was first
tapped on large scale the harbors in
Lake Erie have lost about an inch of
water and vessels have lost correspond
ing carrying power.
The falls should remain as they are
mighty and beautiful and a JOY forever.

from the treatment of approximately
500 cases of pneumonia and erysipelas,
said DR.. j. G. Dryer, who was asso-
ciated with DR.. Hiss in his work for the
past four years in New York showed
serum to be practically specific for
the disease. DR.. Hiss had infinite conf
dence in his method, and during his
years of research applied himself tire
lessly to his meteorological technique.
In technical language the work was
carried along the following lines: The
differentiation of colon and typhoid
bacilli; the method of isolation of TYPHOID
bacilli; bacteriology of typhoid fever;
relation of globuln and dip
theritic antitoxin; pneumococcus and
streptococcus differentiation and cap
sule straining methods, the recognition
of dysentery, typhoid and allied bacilli
bacilli of the dysentery group; mass
culture of bacteria; pneumococi and
allied organisms; the curative influence
of extracts of leucocytes upon in
fections; immunity and infectious dis
eases.
DR.. Hiss was the original refner of
the diphtheria antitoxin now used by the
New York Board of Health. Numerous
antitoxins had been prepared when he
became member of the board, but it
was his product which was accepted as
the most efficient and which is still used.
He was born in Baltimore and at
tended John Hopkins university, getting
his bachelor of arts degree in 1891. He
won his doctor of medicine at Columbia
in 1895, and was the same year appointed
assistant bacteriologist at the College
of Physicians and Surgeons at Columbia.

TO AWARD GOLD MEDAL,

A gold medal to the school boy or girl
between the ages of 10 and ID who
writes the best composition, not to ex-
coed 800 words, on the repair and mainte-
nance of earth roads, is to be awarded
by Logan Waller Page, Director, Office
of Public Roads, United States Depart
ment of Agriculture, Washington, D.
c. All compositions must be submitted
to Mr.. Page before May Is, 1913 and
the medal will be awarded as soon there
after as the compositions can be graded.
The composition may be based on
knowledge gained from books or other
sources, but no quotations should be
made.
After many years experience in deal
ing with the public road situation of the
country, it is Mr.. Pages belief that
ignorance on the subject of repair and
maintenance of roads is as much the
cause of their bad condition as any
other one factor. 1t is expected that
the competition will bring about better
understanding of the subject of repair
and maintenance in the rural districts
Many children living in the rural dis
tricts have experienced the disadvant-
ages of roads made impossible through a
lack of proper maintenance and it is ex-
pected that their interest in the COM
petition will stimulate greater interest
among the parents. Bad roads have
prevented many children from obtaining
proper education and have even pre-
vented doctors from reaching the side
of rural patients in time to save their
lives.
Any child between the ages mentioned,
attending a country school, may COM
pete. Only one side of the paper must
be written on; each page should be
, numbered; the name, age, and address
of the writer, and the name and location
of the school which he or she is attend
ing must be plainly written at the top
of the first page. The announcement
of the competitor has been sent to the
superintendent of schools in the rural
districts. No further information can
be obtained from the office of public
! roads. This announcement should be
plain to everyone, and all children will
thus start on basis of equality.

MR. MORGAN'S WILL.

Multitudes of persons, some of them
very rich and others very poor, have
been studying the will, made public yes
terday, of j. Pierpont Morgan, ex-
ecuted by him January a last, less than
three months before his death. The
will is worthy of this attention, not be-
cause it disposes of the property of a
very wealthy man, but because it is a
human document of extraordinary in
terest.
Mr.. Morgan had long been known as
a churchman. He was devoted to st.
Georges church, and no one is surprised
by his bequest of half million for the
support of its ministry. But there are
many who will be profoundly impressed
by the statement of Christian faith in
the first article of the will. Full half
of the phrases are direct quotations
from Scripture. 1t is clear that his
was belief in what is now considered
by many an outworn creed. This creed
he "entreats" his children lat any cost
of personal sacrifice" to defend. We
fancy we can predict the sermon sub
jects in thousand pulpits next Sunday.
His art collections are to be made
permanently available for the in
struction and pleasure of the American
people,. The son becomes absolute
possessor of these collections, subject
only to the moral obligation of his
fathers wishes. Quite likely they con-
ferred upon the matter before Mr..
Morgan died, The disposition of these
enormously valuable collections in
dicates, as does the whole document,
that he did not believe in imposing upon
the judgment of the living the will of
the dead Boston Journal.
The whole will bears the stamp of the
Morgan character. 1t is a business
mans document. No great trust is
created. He had said: "You must
trust men," He entrusted freely and
fully his properties and affairs to few
men in whom he had confidence His
orderly habits of mind are evident in
the will. He gave away about seven
teen millions and left the rest to be
cared for as his heir may consider wise
under the changing conditions of the
future.

FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
Providence Man, Going at CO.

KILLED IN AUTO WRECK.
John D. Oswald Hurled From M a
chine and Neck Broken.

Hagerstown, Md, April9. John D.
Oswald, aged about 25 years, was killed
in an automobile accident this afteroon
on the Boonsboro turnpike, five miles
southeast of Hagerstown.
In company with S. w. Kent Miller,
owner and driver of the car, in which
the party were riding, F. Earl Neikirk,
and j. Ernest Shockey, machinists, Os-
wald was returning to Hagerstown from
Halltown, w. Va. In climbing the hill
at the bridge across Antietam Creek,
the spring hanger gave away and Miller
lost control of the car, which powed
alongside of an embankment, turned
over on its side and threw out all of the
occupants, excepting Miller.
Oswald struck rock. His skull at the
temple was crushed in and his neck was
broken. Nekirk was hurt about the
back, probably internally. Shockeys
left leg was badly hurt. Miller escaped
with face decorations.
Miller stated that after the automobile
had crossed the bridge, he felt something
under the car give way. He applied the
emergency brakes, but was unable to
stop the machine, which crashed along
the north side of the road and after
turning over righted itself crosswise on
the pike. The car was wrecked
Shockey was hurled 10 feet in the air
and Neikirk landed on the road with
great force. Shockey and Miller were
riding in the front seat and Oswald and
Neikirk in the rear.
Drs. A. P Stauffeur, w. B. Morrison
and Frank N. Haffmeir went to the
scene of the accident and dressed the
wounds of the injured, who were later
brought to Hagerstown. Miller, who
conducts garage here, said at the time
the accident occurred the car was not
running more than % miles per hour.
