COLE AND BILL.

Cole Blease appears to be the Bill
Sulzer of the south. He is going to
run for the governorship of South
Carolina again. And he concludes his
announcement: 80 on with the
dance: let joy be unconfined." But
many people may be pardoned for
thinking that ''unrefined' would have
been an appropriate substitute for the
last word of the quotation. And Bill
Sulzer, by the way, is now making
ready to press candidacy for the dis
trict attorneyship of New York City
Bill argues that if Mr.. Whitman could
step from that office to the states
gubernatorial chair, it is just as logi-
cal for an ex-governor to step down
into the New York district attorneys
office. The fact that Bill is the only
extant species of an impeached gov
ernor cuts no ice with Bill. His de-
sire to serve the people-in a position
that pays a large salary and has other
possible remunerative advantages-is
as keen as it ever was. Bill and Cole,
though, might have better luck were
they to join forces and work out in
the vaudeville arena.

SANITARY SWIMMING POOLS.

The danger of the transmission of
disease in swimming pools is becom-
ing realized more prominently with
the growing popularity of these insti-
tutions. The mana cement of public
baths in such a way as to guarantee a
satisfactory degree of sanitary safety
has raised a series of questions involv-
ing construction. equipment, water
source and supply and personal
hygiene Calcium hypochlorite has
been highly recommended for disin-
fecting, and has been adopted for
many pools. Its efficiency as a disin-
fectant for the water is not doubted.
Its use however. gives rise to frequent
complaints on account of the disagree
able odor attending If. This has led
10 much experimentation in search of
an equally efficient and less offensive
substitute. The difficulties here re-
ferred to are decidedly greater in con-
nection with swimming pools than
with public water supplies. For the
treatment of the latter, more than two
parts per million of hypochlorite are
seldom necessary. Even with this
small proportion, aeration of the
drinking water is necessary to over

come the Objectionable taste and odor-
In the case of the swimming pool, this
feature is aggravated by the fact that
three parts Of the hydrochlorite per
million are necessary to steril1ze the
water. Aeration in such cases merely
serves to release the odor from the
water into the enclosed room sur
rounding the pool. In tests conducted
recently at the Taylor gymnasium
pool at Lehigh University, South
Bethlehem, Pa, encouraging results
have been secured by the employment
of copper sulphate in place of calcium
hypochlorite. The advantage of cop
per sulphate over calcium hypochlo-
rite as a disinfectant for swimming
pools is that it does not undergo chem
ical change readily. Hyperchlorlte
owes its power to the chemical reac-
lions involved in liberating chlorin,
whereby it is converted into a useless
product. Copper sulphate is not ir-
ritating to The eyes and mucous

AMERICAN PRODUCTS AND
PRICES

Recent events have shed more light
on the practice of selling American
products at one price at home and at
ago there was much criticism of some
manufacturing concerns which, in or
der to keep men employed and fac
tories running full capacity Produced
more goods than the homo market
would absorb and sold the surplus
abroad at a reduced price. The re-
duced price was necessary in order to
to sell the goods in competition with
the foreign producer. Now, it APP
pears, the u. s. steel corporation is
selling much of its products abroad
at higher prices than received at
home. In the former instance, as at
present, the foreign sales gave en-
ployment to American labor and fur
nished a market for American raw
material. Formerly, the American
manufacturer had to under sell his
foreign competitor in the foreign mar
ket Now the European war has cut
off the competition. In the days when
the surplus product was marketed at
q cut price abroad, the wage Garner
received no less than he does today.
All of which is food for thought
among men who are interested in the
problem of finding a job for the
American workmen whether a war IS
raging in Europe or not.-Baldwin
Ledger.

CO,TPU,sORY EDUCATION.

A race to avoid being the
last state in the union to adopt
compulsory education laws is ap-
parently under way in the south
ern states, according to reports
received at the United States bureau
of education. There are now only
three states without such laws, FIori-
da having recently Joined Texas ana
South Carolina in adopting compul-
sorry education by legislative enact
ment. The three states still without
laws are Georgia, Mississippi and Ala
bama. The new Florida law provides
that on petition of one-fourth of the
electors, of any special school district
or county, the county board or edu-
cation shall call an election to deter
mine whether attendance shall be
compulsory therein. A three-fifths
majority vote is necessary for adop-
ton. Children between and A years
of age are required to attend for OF
least so days each year, unless exempt
because of physical or mental DISABLE
ity: because they live two and one
half miles from a school and no trans
portation is provided; because their
services are required for the support
of a dependent family; or because
their parents are unable to provide
books and clothing. BY the provisions
of the taw the county boards OF edu-
cation are authorized to appoint at
tendance officers to enforce the law
and to take census of the children
between and 81 years of age. Al
though the Florida law is thus of the
optional type. it is a clear recogn1-
ton of the compulsory principles and
IS regarded as a real step in advance.
In the field Of compulsory education
throughout the United States it is be
lieved that the next steps will have TO
do with the adoption of statewide
laws where optional laws now pre-
vail: the raising of the age limits in
with the best principles
in. child-1abor legislation; and more
strict enforcement of existing laws

Sues father had gone off on fish
ing trip and Sue and her mother
couldn't go along. OF course rather
had explained that fishing trips were
no outings for little girls; and Sues
mother had talked about the mos
ouitoes and the camp fare and every
thing she could think of that was
disagreeable about the trip. But still
the little girl felt very deserted Wheh
her father started off without her.
Never mind, Sue called father

So Sue watched the mail man every
day and wondered what he would
bring.
The third day after father left, the
parcels post wagon stopped in front
of Sues house and the carrier
brought in a great box addressed to
Sue.
.eWhat in the world ?" exclaimed
Sues mother as she saw the box
Has he sent us an aquarium? told
him to have the fish dressed before
he shipped them!
wonderingly she tore the lid OIL
the box and cautiously she peereo
inside. And what do you suppose
she saw? Yes, sir, a great, big. fat.
what in the world should they do
with that? Father said he would
send me the first thing he caught
and he has" cried Sue as she danced
around happily.
HE certainly has agreed moth
er land what are we going to do
with it?''
OF course something had to be
done, as Mr. Turtle couldn't stay in
that box all the time So everybody
helped and in an hours time, Mr..
Turtle was settled in his new home.
A tub in which a few stones were
scattered was placed in the back yard
in a spot where he could get both
shade and sun during the course of
the day. Some crackers were
crurnbed up in the water in the tub
and everybody watched to see Mr..
Turtle eat.
But Mr.. Turtle didn't eat. At least
