ever, in the use of such water, lies in
the fact that it is impossible for any
human being to tell how soon contamin-
alton may find its way to the near
vicinity of such wells, and in turn find
its way into the water. 1t is only an
ordinary measure of safety, so to con-
struct the well that the chances of con
tamination may be as few as possible;
then the water will be kept pure even
though there be some cause for con
tamination not far away. On very many
farms we find fever of various kinds
appearing annually, and upon careful
examination we find that it is produced
by drinking water. The germs are
taken into the body and produce tho
disease. The materials from the body
during such disease pass to the familg
toilet and from thence the germs find
their way into the well. This slow pass
age of the bacteria from the toilet or
septic tank to well may require some
times as long as one year so that during
the next season the water being con.
taminated carries recurrence of the
disease. The most important American
diseases which may be carried in water
are typhoid, dysentery, diarrhoea and
summer complaint. 1t is not intended
that the reader shall understand that
these diseases are carried by the water
alone, but the statement is made that
one of the most important agceries
bringing about such dissemination is
the family water supply.

Columbia Children Give Toys, Cloth.
ing and Candy for Europeans.
Columbia school children are bring
ing enough gifts to fill small corner
of the Christmas ship. Most of them
are bringing toys, hair ribbons, hand
kerchiefs and candy. The children
bring the gifts to the teachers
who turn them over to the P. E. o.
committee. Many women are making
complete wardrobes for babies. Sew
eral women's coats have been added
to gifts.
Mrs. c. B. Hugely, chairman of the
committee, has given a list of desir-
able gifts for the ship. They are
sweaters, mufflers, coats, stockings,
caps, gloves. underwear, slippers,
bath robes. kimonos, linens, blankets,
comfortables, boxes of candy, toys,
books and crayons.
MANY of the European women"
said Mrs. Hugely, would make cloth
ing if they only had the materials; so
dress goods, domestic, ginghams, yarn
and knitting needles might be added
to the list.

question that Columbia has to answer

TEACHING THROUGH PLAY.

From the University of Californi;
comes bulletin written by Clark W
Hetherington, formerly director o
athletics at the University of Missouri
describing the results of a demon
stration play school conducted by
Doctor Hetherington at Berkeley II
the summer of 1913. Several years oi
reform school work and experience in
the physical education departments
of Missouri and California have made
Doctor Hetherington an authority on
his subject. He is strong advocate
of an idea that is gaining a hold on
the educators of this country, the real
ization of the important function of
play in the education of younger
children.
This idea is being put into practice
in so many ways and in SO many
places in this country that it will soon
cease to be looked upon as an ex-
pertinent. The schools of Gary, Ind,
have made play the basis of the ear
'lier education of the child and the
results have been more that salts
factory. Every one is familiar with
the Boy Scouts and Campfire Girls
movements, two new expressions of
the same idea. DR.. ]. L. Merriam, in
the University Elementary School, is
stressing the importance of play in
learning with pleasing results.
The educator who can make use
of the child's instinct to play in COM
plying with society's demand that the
child be instructed is laying the
soundest basis for that child's educa-
ton. All of the cultural material of
modern civilization, all the subject
matter taught in the schools, grew
out of the natural, instructive activl-
ties of primitive man. The most nat
ural way for each child to get ac-
quainted with the necessary part of
this cultural material is to retrace
the course taken by civilization, to let
the instructive activities lead to the
knowledge of a part of the worlds
fund of learning.
The problem in primary educa-
ton is the direction of the child's play |
nto the right channels, it is becom-
ng recognized. The teacher of young
children must become leader in their
play as well as an instructor in the ,
ore of books. I

GETTING OUT FROM UNDER.

Just about as amusing as the vari
Gus efforts being made by the Euro
pean nations to shift the blame for the
present war are the differing movies
which they offer as the reason fol
their entrance into the conflict They
are in the war They don't want the
blame for starting the war. But they
do want some high and noble reason
for being in it.
Self-defense is a very popular JUS
tification, because it puts the other
fellow in a rather bad light. Just at
present taking refuge under this ex-
PLANTATION are Servia, Belgium, Ger
many and France.
The big-brother stunt is claimed by
Russia and England.
Japan and Montenegro self-sacrific-
ingly responded to yells for help, re-
spectively from England and from
Servia.
This leaves Austria out in the cold,
with nothing more than the avenging
of double murder to lean on.

Career Of George p. putnam.

George p. Putnam, one Of the coun-
try's ablest and most influential pub
lishers, was born 100 years ago In
Brunswick, Me. He was a grand

olutionary fame. Az young man he
went to New York and became a clerk
In book store. In 1848 he estab-
lished the publishing and book.selling
house which bore his name. He pub
lished the first books Of James Feni-
more Cooper and William Cullen Bry-
ant and was the publisher Of the works
OF Washington Irving, Edgar Allen
Poe, James Russell Lowell, Bayard
Taylor and many other noted Ameri-
can authors. Throughout his career
Mr.. Putnam was leader In the move
ment to establish an international

Land of WheeIbarrowa.


The wheelbarrow is the most COM
mon medium OF transportation in
Shantung, China. The load Is bal
anced about the wheel go that the
workman does not have to carry a por-
ton of the load, as Is the case with
the American wheelbarrow. Some
wheelbarrows have bat one push man;
some having pulling man as well: /:
some have one, two or three donkeys
to aid in the pulling. and some are
equipped with sail to obtain the
help Of favorable winds. The equip
ment depends on the load carried, the
maximum load being about q ton.
Transportation by wheelbarrow Is
from five to eight times as expensive
as transportation by rail in this prov.
ince. Thus, the native methods of
land transportation, oven with labor
receiving wage less than ten cents
gold day, are costly, disproportion.
ately so as compared with the prices
Of other commodities. Yet Shantung
has tens Of thousands of wheelbarrows
engaged in traffic. 1t Is easy to ap-
preciate what railroads will mean to
the development Of this densely pop-
ulated province.

TO PRoLoNG LIFE OF PLANTS
Abundance Of Fresh Air 10 the First
Necessity for Those Kept for
Indoor Adornment.

Many persons are unsuccessful with
house plants because they do not give
them enough fresh air. The atmos-
phere Of the ordinary living room ia
both too dry and too warm for the ay-
erage potted plant, and the room is
usually kept SO tightly closed during
the cold months that the air is seldom
pure.
Plants Of all sorts. whether they are
raised indoors or outside, must have
an abundance Of fresh air. Two or
three times day open some Of the
windows and allow new air to enter
the room. Lower one or two windows
an inch or more every day when the
outside temperature is not very low.
On all mild days In winter throw open
all OF the doors and windows. You
will be surprised at the difference It
will make in the vigor, color and
growth Of the plants when they do
have all the good air they need. Good
air, good light, good soil and plenty OF
moisture are the living requirements
OF all plants.
Keep~a box Of rich earth in the
house for repotting plants during the
winter. Fresh earth added is always,
beneficial to plant life. When pre-
pairing, heat the earth to kill worms.
II you want sturdy house plants give
them plant food. Ammoniated bone
meal is good fertilizer for house
plants. Beware Of the fancy jardi-
Mere. 1t is responsible for many de-
cayed roots. All plants with shiny
surfaces can be washed with soapsuds
containing little olive oil.
Instead Of carrying potted ferns
through winter after winter, so that
they get worn out, give them an oc-
casional rest. Cut them down close
and you will be surprised to see how
they will reward you in the spring by
leaf'rg out with renewed vigor.
To keep rubber plant in condition,
It must have plenty Of earth, plenty of
water and a shower bath once q week.
When it has dried, after the bath, wipe
the leaves and sponge them with milk.
II your palm Is infested with scales,
wash the leaves In a weak solution Of
soapsuds. After several washings, at
intervals Of few days apart, you will
find that the scales will disappear, the
palm will look fresh and green, and
make new growth. An occasional
bath Of this sort will keep it in fine
condition.

IN ALL SHADES OF PETUNIA
Designers Have Worked Wonders
With Materials Of Velvet, silk
and Crepo do Chine.

Petunia shades In velvet, silk and
crepe de chine are 30 alluring that It
is email wonder that the petunia cos
tune has become fad. Because of
the cost Of the materials in which
the peculiar purple and red tones are
most perfect, these get-ups are usually
seen at afternoon receptions and at
evening dances. One Of the most sue
cessful models is q three-piece cos
tune, consisting Of q petunia red
colored silk skirt, blouse, also Of the
silk, cut away at the shoulders and
elbows to show round-necked
guimpe in petunia rose malines, and a
three-quarter coat in petunia purple
velvet, lined with satin matching the
rose of the malines. The purple velvet
hat carries petunia red ostrich plumes
and the gloves and shoes are in black
suede. This choice Of minor acces-
sorieB Is wise one, for were they in
white, gray or even in glRce black,
they would glare at the dull petunia
tones.
Dull and inconspicuous accessories
invariably accompany the petunia
evening costumes. These are usually
in two OF more shades In malines and
are chiefly worn as dancing frocks by
young girls. Occasionally, however, o
young matron Is seen In trained
gown OF petunia-shaded malines or
chiffon, frightened by necklace or q
dog collar in rubies, amethysts or EN-.
eralds set in dull Dutch silver.
