considered merely bOyish kind of
desire to have some fun out Of the
election
But on the exciting seventy third
ballot the weary voters found that
there was method in his madness"
and some shrewdness.
As this ballot began, one or two

Pace. Then Johnson announced:
~ wish to change my vote from

Someone cried, That elects Fair."
and Immediately everything was
confusion. The Mayor and Nerroy
declared there had been no election,
insisting that Secretary Morris al
ready had begun announcing the re-
suit OF the ballot before Johnson
changed his vote Fain protested
that Johnson'S vote had elected him,
and Johnson remained on his feet
arguing that he had perfect right
to change his vote and that II was
done at the proper moment The
Mayor who was acting chairman,
however, ruled that the result was
being announced at Tie time, and that
Johnson's change, therefore, did not
affect the ballot. He ordered the next
ballot to proceed and the monoton-
Gus grind resumed
From that moment Pace voted for
himself consistently. and everybody
watched Johnson.

DANGERS LURK IN
COUNTRY WELLS
DR.. Dixon Calls Attention to What
People May Strike in Way
of Pollution

State Commissioner of Health Dixon
has called attention to the dangers
that lurk in unguarded and uncared
for wells and springs. This is the sea-
son of the year when people go out
into the country and when they are
apt to drink of any water that they
strike.
On this subject DR.. Dixon says:
''It is indeed "a modest property
owner who will not boast of his well.
The GOODNESS, clearness and general
excellence of their water supply is a
favorite topic of conversation with
thousands of people.
"One-half Of our eight million Penn
sylvanians depend upon wells or
springs for their water supply. and
from now on for the next four or five
months the other half of our citizens
on their vacation trips or half-holidays
in the country will find themselves
depending upon water from these
sources.
when Investigations are made by
sanitary experts the water of many
of these wells and springs has time
and again shown pollution, which
means that they are positively danger
Gus for human consumption. Unfor-
euhoISis "olSi may dppSoi SiSoi anu
be agreeable in taste when it contains
sewage organisms which may cause
typhoid fever or dysentery when taken
into the system. Much of our rural
typhoid is due to polluted wells and
springs.
mo we'll should be located near a
cesspool, privy or barnyard where the
drainage from these places can reach
directly or indirectly by seepage
through the water-bearing strata. In
a limestone country there is particular
danger of sewage or animal wastes
which find their way through assures
in the rock and may reappear many
miles away in some subterranean
stream which serves as water supply.
open wells are particularly liable
to pollution and all wells should be
carefully walled and covered to pre-
vent surface and direct drainage from
communicating them. The close proX-
unity of possible sources of pollution
should be sufficient to place any we'll
or spring under suspicion.
Unfortunately many property own
ers who strive to keep their houses
and grounds in a clean, sanitary con-
dition overlook this vital factor.
THE cost of a water tight stone or
cement covering which will defect

Ten Bids Received
For Water Meters
by Supt. Bowman

Ten bids for water meters are being
considered by Commissioner Harry F.
Bowman, superintendent of the depart
ment OF public safety, and it is prob
able that the choice may be determined
upon in time to obtain Councils ap-
proval at next Tuesdays meeting.
The prices offered range from $3.50
to s11. and it is the Commissioners in
tention to obtain the cheapest possible
without sacrificing efficiency. Should
Mr. Bowman's plan work out his
method for obtaining prices for the
new water meters will mean a consid-
erable saving to the consumer and the
city.
"What we want to do" said he, "is to
buy a style of meter that will register
the water in such a way as to give the
citizen full value for his money and at
the same time guard against any short :
age or waste from the city's end Tests
are now being carried out by the de-
