T HE AVIS.
Uhristiansted, st. GreAA.
Saturday, 9th April, 1918,

1t is sad news which has reached us from
West End this week. 1t is al9o serious
news for the sanitary authorities in that
part OF the island. 1t may be, as our corr
respondent r. suggests, that the sickness is
caused bv tainted water wing stagnant on the
borders of The town;lnd if so, our best friend
would be a heavy fall of rain, which would
clear the channels passing through the level
ground. In the present writer's youth,
typhoid fever was generally supposed to

that it has lately been oheNn to arise in
other ways, AMI we sea it often stated thar
the common house fly is the most general
carrier Of the disease, the germs of winch it
brings on It's feet, and thus communities any
article of food on which it may ali9ht. If
this latter theory is correct it would be wise
to start q campaign against the flies, whose
numbers can be greatIy reduced by u liberal
use Of the ordinary fly papers. II a ~InymHn's
advice can be Of any possible use, we would
suggest that all drinking water should be
boiled. If this were done, aud war against
the flies commenced, we should probably
have tax u two good steps towards check

SENDING FLOWERS -
TO GIRL GRADUTES

Every one is anxious to congratulate
and send gifts Of some kind to the sweet
girl graduate. It is one of the i'm
portant events in a girls life. She
stands on the brink of a new era, and all
her friends would like to make the out
look as bright and happy as possible for
her.
Gifts of all kinds are sent. but flowers
seem to be always the most appropriate.
American beauty roses are the first
choice. Beautiful, long-stemmed punches
Of these flowers, tied with ribbon to
match the flowers, are difficult to excel
Roses of all varieties, sweet peas in all
colors, and carnations are the best fiow-
ers for sprays and bouquets.
Baskets Of all kinds flied with flowers
are used. A good idea is to send flowers
in a glass or pottery vase. the vase
making useful and beautiful ornament
afterwards for her desk or dressing
table.

THE FIRST WOMAN
ELECTED SENATOR
Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson, of Colo
RADIO, Enjoys the Unique
Distinction.

The following paragraphs about Helen
Ring Robinson. State Senator in Colo
RADIO, are taken from the woman's Home
Companion:
This year, in which for the first time
a woman cast an electoral vote for a
Presidential candidate Ceven though for
a losing one), has also been signalized
by the first appearance of a woman as a
member of the Senate of one of these
United States. We have had several
woman Mayors and woman members of
the lower house of State LEGISLATURES,
but Mrs. Helen Ring Robinson has the
distinction of being the first Senator of
her sex in this country.
Colorado has had equal suffrage for
nineteen years. and the lower branch OF
the Legislature that met two years ago
had four woman members These women
conscientiously championed measures
emanating from womens clubs and SINH
lar organizations. especially such meas
ures as were framed to better the condi-
ton of working women and to safeguard
the morals of the young; but at the end
of the season the women of the State
found that their pet bills had been so
altered in committee and in the Senate
as to be unrecognizable. So they deter
mined to elect a woman to the upper
House to look after their interests in
that body.
Under the old convention system they
could never have secured a place on the
ticket for their candidate. but fortunately
last year there were no primary conven-
tons in Colorado. Under a new law all
nominations were made by petition. and
no other petition filed with the Secretary
of State carried as many signatures as
that for the nomination of Mrs. Robin
son. Her election followed by a vote in
which party lines were disregarded.-
Mrs. Robinson comes from New Eng
land, and is a graduate Of Wellesley.
Prior to her marriage with Ewing Rob-
inson, an attorney of Denver. she was a
teacher in a school for girls. She has
retained her active interests in all edu-
cational matters. and her home in Denver
is looked upon as something OF a cul-
tural center. She has a daughter now
attending a preparatory school.
Mrs. Robinson took no part in the
effort to secure her nomination, combining
her campaign to a few public statements,
in which she epitomized her views, in
cidentslly declaring concerted mother

COURTS DECISION IMPORTANT.
Patent Medicine Opinion Corrects
Evils, Says OId6eld.

The Supreme Courts decision yesterday
Withholding from manufacturers the re-
tail prices OF patented articles will be
big factor in reducing the cost Of living
was the prediction yesterday Of Repre-
sentative Oldfield Of Kansas, who Is
chairman of the House Committee on
Patents and who the author of bill
which seeks to eliminate patent abuses
Mr. Oldfield declared the decision will
affect manufacturers with millions OF
dollars invested in the manufacture OF
patented articles.
The people never will see the justice
of a manufacturer holding a retailer by
the throat" said Mr.. Oldheld, and
forcing the retailer to sell patented
article at a fixed price
Representative Oldheld admitted that
the chief abuse sought to be corrected
by his bill has been corrected by the
courts decision. but on account Of the
close decision in the court FIVE ito four,
he believes there is absolute necessity
for passing a bill that will put this pat
emit question out of the range of judi
cial dispute.

Centuries ago. when Balboa, crossing
the Isthmus Of Panama, stood upon the
crest of the mountains forming the great
continental divide and viewed for the
first time the distant waters OF the Pa
cific, he never imagined that some day
man would bring the waters OF this
great ocean across the intervening miles
to the foot of the mountains upon which
he stood. Yet this Is what has been
done by the Americans since 1905. While
the work of constructing the immense
locks was going on in the central part
of the isthmus. a huge force of laborers,
with steam shovels. dredges. and other
modern machinery. was digging chan
mel from Balboa. the Pacific entrance
OF the canal. named after the great dis
coverer, to the town of Mirafiores, where
the first locks are located.
A great problem confronted the engi-
neers in the excavating Of this six miles
OF sea level canal: for the Pacific Ocean
has a tide OF twenty-one feet This
meant that in addition 10 the digging OF
channel deep enough to allow the
largest ship to pass through, a retaining
bank had to be constructed to prevent
the flooding of the surrounding territory
at high tide.
Standing upon the top of Ancon Hill.
peak Just to the south of the canal,
an excellent view is obtained of the work.
From this point the canal can be seen
from where it emerges from behind Soca
Hill, a high knoll about a mile inland
from the Pacific entrance, to within a
short distance OF Miranores. The entire
country for several miles to the south of
the canal along this stretch is compare
lively low and fiat. Immense nils are
necessary to protect il from tidal over
flow. Thousands of trainloads of earth
hauled from the excavations at other
places on the canal have been used in
addition to what was taken from the cut
along this section to build this embank-

height of from twenty feet to a hundred
feet over several square miles OF ter
ritory.
The work on this sea level stretch of
canal was made even more difficult by
the constant floods, caused by the tor
rents OF rainfall during the wet season
from April to December. The same
and the great locks has prevailed on this
work. The men pushing ahead overcame
the many difficulties. till at the present
time II is practically completed.
1t is hard to imagine that this vast
territory. now healthy. dry, and clean OF
dense tropical trees and vegetation, was

fever and malaria. Many thousand

Although the proposed three-day out

week has been called of. Secretary Grant
yesterday announced that the hotel rates

party still will be effective to any men,
Der of the organization who desires to
visit the New Jersey resort. The rail-
roads declined to give reduced rates be-
cause of the small number of Washing
tonians desiring to make the trip.
In order to get the benefits of reduced
railroad fares it was necessary that a
party of 100 make the trip. Only fifty
five members of the Chamber of Com
merce signified their intentions of making
the trip. and as the necessary number
could not be found the trip was called
off. Secretary Grant yesterday returned
the checks to those who had arranged
to make the trip.
The hotels, however. have signified their
willingness to make the same special
rates to individuals as they had offered
for the party. and a number of members
of the Chamber of Commerce who had
planned originally to go will make the
trip.

curing, and shipping to wholesale drug
gists herbs, roots. berries. and leaves hav
ing medicinal properties. An humble be-
ginning with sassafras and poke root led
to her studying the question thoroughly,
and she found the druggists ready and
willing to give instructions for procuring
the various kinds in their proper seaso,.
and properly caring for them.
By correspondence with various drug
houses she soon built up a nice little BUSH
ness. On swampy piece of land, here
tofore unused, she cultivates peppermint,
and each season reaps a profitable har-
vest from her undertaking begun in

Camera Profitable.
Any person having a good amateurs
camera and possessed of a good working
knowledge of how to take, develop. and
print pictures, can earn quite little
money. II she lives in a small town
where there is, perhaps only one photog-
rapher. she can start quite a business by
developing films and making prints. If
there is a store which sells cameras, she
may get it to solicit work for her, or
even pay her for the work she does for
their customers.
There always are people wanting pic
lures of their houses and children. snap
shots, not photographs, and they will pay
a reasonable price for such work. II one
lives In a college town, or is attending
college, a great deal of profitable work
may be had. Usually college is on the
edge of town and the girls do not like
to take a long trip every time they wish
a roll of films developed, and so one who
is on the ground stands a good chance of
obtaining all this work. Then there are
always parties, picnics, spreads. and co..
lege events, at which pictures may be
taken.
