Hot summers are deadly summers for
young children. This has been a well
known fact for centuries. AS the mer-
curry climbs higher intestinal diseases
multiply young lives wtther and white
hearses become frequent visitors on al
most every street.
The summer of 1913 was the hottest
Chicago has ever known. Under ordinary
conditions, therefore. IL should have
shown a terrific loss OF babies lives. Yet
In proportion to population the infant
death rate In this city for the hot mouths
of 1913 was only two-thirds as great as
the infant death rate for the same months
of 1893.
The value of health campaigns, war
against flies and child-saving agitatioLs
could not receive a stronger testimonial.
One-third Of the child mortality OF
twenty years ago has been proved need
less and this under most unfavorabie
conditions The record should inspire
every citizen with new courage and eu.
ergy In the fight for public health.

HARBOR.
MASTER j 0 B
ABOLISHED

Exonerating Harbor Master Will
am r. Foster hut finding that the
board OF harhor commissioners has
exceeded the power invested in that
body by law, thereby losing to the
territory the sum of 1916 which
should have been received in fees for
pilotage, the land committee, of the
house this morning submitted a de-
tailed report of its investigation of
the charges against the harbor
master.
In conclusion it recommends that
the Office of harbor master be abol-
ished, and that in its place two sep
arate offices be created; one, that Of
harbor pilot, to assume all the duties
of the present harbor master save
those of wharfinger, and the other, a
wharfinger, to have supervision Of
the wharves, moving of freight, col
lection of demurrage, tolls and wharf
age fees. It also recommends pro-
vision for a clerk. to handle the Of
fice work of both these officials.
Representative Sheldon was in
clined at first to protest against the
report.
He has caused loss of 1915 to
the territory, yet the commission in
sists he is the proper man for the
position of harbor master" said Shell
don. Il think that in the face of such
facts we should express q lack of con-
fidence in the harbor commission"
This aroused DIR. Huddy, chairman
of the public lands committee, bring
ing him to his feet with a strong
talk supporting the committee report.
1t developed then that the Kauai
solon made his talk more to tease
the Big Island doctor and get him to
make real speech, than because of
any real antipathy to the report At
the conclusion of DR.. Huddy's impas-
stoned harangue Sheldon smilingly
seconded the motion to adopt the re-
port, which was accepted without
dissenting voice.
