u. S. GIRL PEERLESS
Persona Grata Because of Her Owa
Sterling Qualitics-English Writer
/ IaudS Her.

The Daily Graphic contains a re-
markable eulogistic and flatterins
article Of how THE Girl from Ameri-
ca" has captured all the strOngholds
of ''frigid English society," not by the
inSidiOus influence Of the almighty
dollar, which might have opened the
way into certain sections Of the fash
|lonable world a generation ago, but ny
her W sterling qualities"
Continuing, the writer says:
ut is a matter OF common know
ledge that 10 years s the fair
right set in this Ountry was prepared
to pay handsomely for the necessary
introduction; today she is persona
grata with the most exclusive circles,
may be found at the cream Of SO
ciety dances and is among the leaders
In the sacred cause Of charity"
Peculiarly Refreshing.
The writer proceeds to record a con-
versation he had with a woman mov-
ing in the most exclusive set. She
! says:
There is something peculiarly re-
freshlng and attractive about the
typical American girl. $50" She
brings to this musty old world some
thing Of the broad, open atmosphere
of her own country. Her personality
today is something far more Angl-
clzed and there is an ever-SroWlnG
tendency to regard her more as a SIS
ter than as a cousin. You can tell her
anywhere by her figure and her dress.
The American girl has proved her
fitness to mix with the best people,
and she has come to stay.

has no peer. Much Of her ability III

Efficient cistern construction. The

Few farms now draw their water
supplies for household uses from sur
face streams or ponds, since 1t is quite
generally recognized that these sources
are especially liable to contamination.
Such waters should never be used for
drinking purposes unless properly Al
tered or thoroughly boiled.
II a cistern Is used as the source OF
supply it~should be very carefully con
structed with water-tight lining, usu.
ally of concrete, to prevent leakage

Both shallow and deep farm wells
are often polluted from local sources
They are often located for convent
ence in the barnyard, near stables or
stock pens, or close to the Kitchen
door where animal and vegetable ref
use is often allowed to accumulate
and decompose. The soil surrounding
the well becomes saturated with or
ganic filth and finally is no longer able
to filter the water clean before 1t per
colates into the well.

limestone may become polluted.
Another common source Of pollution
lies in Improperly constructed curb
ings or coverings which allow surface
water, carrying filth and disease germs
to enter the top OF the well.
Deep bored or driven wells are less
liable to pollution since they are usu
ally fncased with impervious piping
and the vein OF water Is at such q
depth that percolatfon is much more
certain TO free the water from organic
matter before 1t enters the feeG
stream In limestone sections, how
ever, this principle does not always
hold true It is a well known fact that.
the underground water veins cut GU
distinct and sometimes very extensive
passages through the solid rock. Thes
sources Of these underground passages
are the sinks and basins found
here and there on the surface OF the
ground It IS common practice t.
dump manure. trash and garbage into
these sinks or basins and the tirsf
heavy rain that falls washes this dis
ease laden material directly into any
wen Or spring which may chance to
draw its supply from this underground
vein. s
IN general the well should be To-
Gated above the basins and the natural
drainage Of barnyards. stock pens. etc
