Regulating River Water.

1 The sanitary control of waterways
4 and the desirability of Legislation
giving the state board OF health broad
supervisory powers and duties In con-
nection with the regulation OF water
supply service and stream pollution
! is perhaps universally recognized and
the reasons for 1t are generally under
stood. 1t has been truly said that,
the cost Of a thing is the amount Of
life which is required to be exchanged
! for 1t.
= 1t Is natural that early legislation
should deal almost wholly with the
control OF diseases; epidemics and
nuisances after they existed, rather
than to prescribe measures which
would tend to prevent their occurrence.
The existing law pertaining to stream
pollution Is ont OF date and cumber-
some. 1t Is high time that the state
board Of health be given, by legisla-
ton In specific terms, strict supervis-
DRY powers and duties, which will in
sure the construction of water puri-
fcatipn plants and sewerage disposal
systems Of q proper character and
not merely allow the correction OF
fagrant abuses. .gF
The flow of domestic. sewage from
the town Of Weston has united the
West Fork river for drinking pur-
poses, unless the water Is first fl
tered. The lives OF hundreds Of
people are thus put In jeopardy. No
sewage that will impair the health
fitness Of water should be deposited
where It will fall or drain into any
stEeam used as a source of water
supply for domestic use. The state
board Of health should have general
charge OF all streams so used, and
should take all necessary and proper
!. steps to preserve the same from such
pollution as may endanger the public
health.

Two weeks later she still refused

The next week she still held out

SO he reduced her salary to fifty cents

The fourth week, she was hardly
able to report for work, so emaciated
was she, but still the brave girl re-
jected all his offers Of marriage. He
reduced her salary to fifteen cents q

Avoid Foolish Chances.

Out Of New York comes o warning
to drivers OF automobiles to avoid
taking foolish chances. The warning
is especially directed against the GUS
tonic many drivers who in passing
X other vehicles try to see how close
they can go without causing col
lision. 1t is pointed out that In nine
caseE out OF ten coming up in court as
results Of automobile crashes investi-
cation shows the accidents were
largely due to this habit OF taking q
foolish chance, this desire to run up
TO the very edge Of danger.
The warning comes out OF New
York but in the words Of an exchange
" may well apply to every other town
and city and rural section OF the land.
Many drivers Of automobiles develop
with their driving foolish sort Of
daring, q kind of ,braggadoclo which
leadsSthem to take all manner Of silly
and sspftimes criminal chances with
theirnown- lives and the lives Of 9TH
ers. A; There is absolutely no excuse
tor this custom of running close to
Z danger and possible death. II It In
volvad only the foolish driver 1t might
not be so bad but the custom brings
menace TO many innocent persons
passing along the streets and roads.
And in this connection there is,'an-
other habit Of some drivers which is
In need of encouragement. This Is the
habit OF stealing up on pedestrian
and s;when almost upon the victim
sounding the horn for the fun Of see
ing the pedestrian jump. OF course
this ds a certain form Of humor. 1t
may even be termed a practical Joke.
But like other practical Jokes it has a
cruek side to 1t and is quite capable
/ OF developing into actual tragedy II
the pedestrian becomes bit confused
or Is slow in movement.
All these objectionable features Of
the driving of some automobiles could
Seasilysbe eliminated. All that is nee
essary is for automobile drivers to
develop a little more fairness and
sound sense in their driving. 1t
would involve no hardship for the
drivers and in addition to relieving
4 the minds Of very many persons It
would incidentally be the. means Of
decreasing certain very definite dis
like Of automobiles as whole.

MINES DISPLAY AT EXPOSITION.
An inclusive mining exhibit is
being prepared by the United States
Bureau Of Mines for the Panama
Pacific exposition at San Francisco.
This exhibit is to be housed in the
Palace Of Mines and Metallurgy.
Special attention will be given to
the work looking toward the accom-
Iplishment Of a more safe conduct Of
mining and a more efficient utiliza-
ton Of the product Of the mines.
Among the more interesting ex-
hiblts will be, a plan Of model
mining town. There will, also, be
shown the layout OF a model hos
pital, including a receiving room.
ward room and operating room. fully
equipped for demonstrations by the
United States Marine Hospital Ser
vice. A model of a change and wash
house for modern mining and
meta1lurgical operations will be an
other feature of this section of the
exhibit.
It is intended to give frequent
first aid demonstrations. To add
realty to this work, apparently in
jured men will be removed from the
exhibition mine beneath the building
Iby helmet and rescue crews. There
will be a complete display OF rescue
apparatus. Visitors will leave the
exhibition mine through q radium
booth in which actual radium
carnations are to be shown.

On the green ribbon called the
Nile are strung many jewels, but OF

is Cairo. It was a capital and q

years before Rome VASTLY centur-

Rameses, Necho and Ptolemy. Even
when Thebs in upper Egypt was SUI

In Alexandria. here was the great
heart Of Egypt. Alexander came
here, and Caesar, and Napoleon.
So far as the record runs, Cairo
has been a hot bed Of seething po-
I1itical intrigue for more than fifty
centuries Despite the fact that we
know 1t now better as winter resort

the Egyptian nationalists have looked

Al Lue pTOCeS6 OIL purHlCdLlOQ at the
local plant there is nothing added
which increases the hardness of the
West Fork river water, while on the
other hand there is no softening
works operated in connection with the
plant
The hardness Of the water at Win
nipeg, Manitoba, Is five hundred and
eighty parts per million; Warren, o.,
source Of supply Mahoning river, five
hundred and seventy-eight parts per
million; Columbus, o., source OF sup
ply, Scioto river, three hundred and
thfrty-ftve parts per million; London,
England, two hundred and fifteen
parts per million; Philadelphia, Pa,
one hundred and seventy-nine parts
per million. With the aid Of water
softening plants the hardness Of the
water in most Of the cases named has
been reduced about one hundred per
cent which is still one hundred per
cent higher than the maximum hard
ness OF the city water and two hun
dred per cent higher than the average
hardness OF the tap water, as delivered
to the consumers. The hardness Of
the waters Of the Great Lakes Is fifty
per cent in excess Of the normal
hardness of the West Fork river
water. However the local water
works and sewerage board is prepar-
ing to reduce the temporary hardness
OF the water which seems to persist
for brief intervals when there is no
fowage in the river.
The practice Of certain persons liy-
ing along the West Fork river of
dumping old cans, rubbish and other
Objectionable filth into the river is in
direct violation of the law and should
no longer be tolerated. If these
abuses are to be permanently abated
the legislature must invest the state
board Of health with Unrestricted SUI
pervisory powers for the protection
of the health and lives of the people
of the state. The local water works
and sewerage board started the cam
paign against the willful pollution of
the West Fork river several years
ago and It is hoped that its efforts
to enlarge the powers and duties Of
the state board Of health may succeed,
to the end that the streams of the
state and especially the city's source
Of domestic water supply may be rem
dered free from Communicating and
polluting matter laden with patllo-
genie bacteria.
