i CHIEF HEALEY BACKS WATER
IN THE HANNA CASE

I'm ] Tx F1HTNNH CAOE
When it came to a showdown yes
terday afternoon Chief Healey with
drew his order dismissing Francis
Hanna, morals inspector, from tn
police department Earlier in the
day the chief received a note from
the corporation counsel's office tell
ing him that the order was illegal and
that the only way to get rid of Hanna
was to suspend him and file charges.
If the chief had stuck to his original
order he could have been cited for
contempt Of court, because Hanna
had gone before Judge Foen and OBJ
tanned an order restraining Healey
from dismissing him.
HE cannot do this because he has
nothing on me-" Hanna said. 81 have
been operating my department on
two-thirds of the appropriation Dan
nenberg had and am making twice as
many inspections and arrests. claim
my record is good"
Hanna is a former newspaper man
and holds civil service position. His
friends say that the chiefs action was
solely due to his attempt to build a
political machine out of the police de-
partment and install his friends in
the executive positions.

CARELESS COUGHING
AND SPLITTING
Don! Spi! Laws Should Be Made
More Than Jokes

The dangerous and dirty habi,
OF careless splitting. coughing and
sneezing is without doubt the
most costly carelessness that
civilized society INDUCES in. The
saying, mo spit, no consump-
ton" is literally true, and this
means that the consumption that
we have, with 5000 deaths a year,
would be largely avoided if this
habit could be abolished.
1t has been shown by careful
scientific experiments that in the
act of coughing or sneezing. un.
less a handkerchief or other OBJ.
ject is held in front of the nose
and mouth, microscopic particles
of saliva and nasal secretions are
discharged into the air which.
even in a quiet room, may be
carried a distance of from ten to
fifty yards from the place where
they were expelled. Many of
these droplets can be seen If one |
will cough or sreeze in front of a
mirror or windowpane. Most of
them. however, are too small
to be visible to the naked eve.
One can now readily understand
now very impolite it is to cough

handkerchief in front of the face,

A SHOP TRUTH

IN connection with the unfort.
innate religious controversy ovel
the ethics of the recent Bo,
Scout Hike. the report was cur,
rent that last Fridays issue OF
the Herald was delayed for sew
eral hours while an article cover
ing the Hike" was changed
This IS laughably absurd. We
would, If requested by the writ
err of an article, make any change
possible, but we are frank to
state that a change costing four
hours time of our entire force
would not be considered for a
moment. The Herald was four
hours late last Friday = due to
several causes, among them be.
ing the ordering of several
jobs for quick delivery, the fact
that our advertising patronage
was more liberal than usual, an
abundance of news items coming
in late in the week, and an order
for seven hundred additional
copies of the Herald for distribu.
ton by the Peoples and Rose.
mary Theatres.
All of these things tended to
make the paper late. The boy
scout article in question, if it had
been changed entirely, could
have been reset and corrected by
our force in about twenty minu.
les. AS a matter of fact the
article in question Vas not
changed in any respect.
The above explanation is not
made to clear US of the accuse.
ion, but rather to show the alb
urdlty to which rumor will
ometlmes attain and the blissffu |
ignorance of the promoters of
ne rumor in the mechanical
imposition and makeup of a
