REVOLVING DOORS DO NOT
MEET LAW, URICk SAWS

Des Moines, Ia, Dec IA. L. Urick,
labor commissioner, has ruled revolv-
ing doors do not comply with the law
requiring that all entrance and exit
doors must open outward. Uricls holds
that while a revolving door opens out
ward. all right, it does not open the
legal way when one is entering through
it. He says further.
Recognizing the great purpose of re-
volving doors-that of preventing
drafts of cold air from entering the es-
tablishment-I am of the opinion that
where they are permitted they should
be of easy collapsible installation, and
there should be constructed at the side
of such revolving doors an emergency
door swinging outward in this way
preventing risks from panic of people

BOIL YOUR WATER
State EpidemiOlogist Advises
Kansas Housewives.
Recent High Waters Have En-
dangered Drinking Supply.
CITIES MUST FURNISH SAMPLE
New Rule, Effective July 1, Ap-
plies to Kansas Towns.
Inspection of All Supplies for
Public Usage.
CITIES MUST FURNISH SAMPLE.

Because of the recent high waters
numerous reports to the state board OF
health from the cities of the state are
showing the pollution of water supply
AS result DR.. John J. Sippy, state
epidemioIogist, is advising all house
wives to boil their drinking water and
all municipal officials to establish
hype-chlorite plants or to purify their
water supply by means of liquid
chlorine.
IF these measures are not taken
there is always danger of epidemics Of
typhoid fever and other water-borne
disease DIR. Sippy said. However,
there is no immediate danger if prop
er precautionary measures are taken
some of the water samples have
shown only a slight pollution"
These reports are the first fruits OF
the Kansas law, passed at the last ses-
sion of the legislature, and effective
July 1, providing for regular analysis
of water provided, or sold, for public
consumption.
Rules for Cities.
The rules made by the state board of
health, under the law, provide that in
cities furnishing the public with water
from wells, an inspection of equipment
shall be made once a year and samples
of the water supply shall be submitted
for analysis twice a year to the water
and sewerage laboratory OF the board
at the University of Kansas. They also
provide that in cities having a surface
water supply, inspection shall be made
twice annually and samples shall be
submitted weekly by city officials.
The source of the water supply of
railroads and other common carriers
and bottiing works also is inspected
regularly, under the rules.
Fixed fees Cor the purpose of collect
ing and shipping the samples and max
ing the analyses are charged the cities
and corporations whose water supply
is tested.
