In his monthly repart, Dr. .. H. Townsend, secretary of the state board of health, says that the general as sembly which adjourned last month passed some excellent public health laws and improved by amendment some older laws. Among these may be mentioned:

 An act concerning the pollution of water supplies. This provides that no system of water supply shall hereafter be constructed until the plans thereof have heen submitted to and approved by the state board of health. The board is empowered to make such or derS as may be necessary to prevent the contamination of these supplies.
 An act amending an act concerning the appointment and duties of school physicians This act makes the med icaI inspection of schools obligatory in all cities, towns or districts of more than 10000 inhabitants
 An act concerning town ordinances. This permits any town to adopt Ordi- nances or bylaws for the promotion of health and to improve the sanitary condition of dwellings, outbuildings and premises connected herewith.
 An act concerning chiropody. Re- quiring the licensing of all chiropodists after Jan. 1, 1916, and creating a state board of examiners.
 An act concerning the transportation of the bodies of deceased persons. Au- thOrizing the state board of health to make regulations concerning the prep aration and transportation of bodies from or into any town in the state.
 An act amending an act concerning the bottling and sale of drinking water. This act reduces the fee for the re- newal of. a license from $1O to $5.
 An act concerning the sale of mar cotic drugs. This brings the state law into harmony with the national law known as the Harrison act.

RISK LIVES TO SAVE
THEIR EASTER BONNETS
Two Girls Overcome by Smoke
in Endeavoring to, Preserve
Treasures From Flames.

Two young women nearly sacrificed
their lives trying to salvage their Easter
honncts early today when fire swept
through the second floor of the home of
Mrs. Dora Rutman, at 1S42 North 7th
street They are Helen Weiss, 49, an
adopted daughter of Mrs. Rutman, and
her roommate, Helen Altman. 90, and
were carried half suffocated by smoke
from their room TO the sidewalk by Harry
Weiss. The fire was confined to the up
per floor.
A quarantine was placed on the house a
short time ago and when the firemen ar
rived all the occupants of the house were
grouped about 6-year-old Lena SimonO-
WITT, who is suffering from measles. The
little girl had to be carried from sick
bed after the others were rescued. The
quarantine was to have been lifted to-
morrow and the doctors do not expect the
members of the Rutman family to con-
tract the disease, although they cared for
the sick child until the flames were under
control
When Weiss was aroused by smoke in
his room on the third floor he called
his sister and her friend, who slept on
the floor beneath. The young women
had also been awakened. but waited to
rescue their hats. Weiss had to force
them to come with him, In the hallway
his sister fell unconscious from smoke.
He carried her to the street and then re-
turned for Miss Altman and his adopted
mother. The loss was several hundred
dollars. which includes the two bonnets.

SUFFRAGTSTS SEWING
SASHES AND BANDS
Preparing Costumes for the
Uncle Sam Section in the
Great Parade, May 1.

Suffrage sewing circles are busily en-
gagged every day at the Equal Franchise
Society headquarters, 30 South 9Th street
They are making red, white and blue
hat bands, red sashes and the costumes
for the Uncle Sam section of the monster
suffrage parade which will be held May 1
by suffrage organizations in this city. The
Uncle Sam section will be entirely under
the auspices of the Equal Franchise So
ciety. Several dozen of tile bands and
sashes are being turned out day.
A regulation costume has been designed.
This consists of white skirt. white
middle blouse, with blue collar and red
sash tie, white shoes and stockings and
white hats, with red. white and blue
bands. a minute detail has been added
to the dress requirements. 1t is that all
skirts must be worn so that the bottom
is four inches from the ground The idea
Is to insure uniformity.
The committee in charge of the parade
has received pledges from several thou
sand factory workers. both men and wom-
en-, to march. The total number of per-
sons who will participate is expected to
be greater than $4,000, the figure origin
ally set. 1t is now thought that three
times that many will march. Most of
the factory employees who recently have
pledged themselves to march are employ
ed in candy. waist, cloak, box, leather
and flower manufacturing plants.
Suffragists who are members of the
Woman Suffrage party in the nth Legis-
lative district will hold another of their
outdoor meetings tonight. at s o'clock, at
40th street and Lancaster avenue. These
meetings are held weekly and are a part
of a great campaign being waged in that
section. Mrs. NJ. c. Dowell is in charge
of the meeting.
