WISCONSIN GUARDS
AGAINST BUBBLERS

Requirements for bubbling foun-
tains for Wisconsin schools are mar
rowing down to definite types OF foun-
tains which largely obviate the chance
for contact infection and the spread OF
disease. The state board Of health at
Madison has formulated suggestions
as to types deemed unsafe and those
considered sanitary.
Many of these devices now in use
are so constructed as to bring the
lips in contact with the fountain head.
They are classed as unsafe. Nearly
all of them deliver the stream in a
vertical direction. Some are con-
structed so that the water stagnates
inside the bubbler head. In other
styles the fountain is constructed with
bowl which retains wateR and fire.
uuently the individual drinks from a
pool of water which has furnished
many others drink.
This the board charges, sis little
or no better than the common drink
ing cups
Others give a flow at an angle from
the bubble and are equipped with a
guard on the side. This guard is
called Objectionable because many are
led to place the face against the
guard affording means Of spreading
disease by contact. other objection
able types include bubblers equipped
with nads of cotton to act as filters
and some kinds of portable fountains
which, because of inadequate pres
sure, make it necessary to place the
lips against the bubbler head.
A recent type of bubbler delivers
the water at an angle SO as to avoid
contact Of the mouth with the drink
ing device. Sufficient pressure and
volume are the vital factors for safety.

Police Start Search For Third Par

Murder

Hidden under a clump of bushes at
the edge of Lake Michigan near the
Y. w. G. A. camp, Cudahy, the bodies
of a beautiful young woman about
25 years old, and of boy of years,
were found Wednesday afternoon.
Both had been shot to death, pre-
sumably by a 20 caliber revolver,
which lay between them. Five shots
had been fired.
The police of Cudahy declare it to
be a case of double murder. They
point to the fact that the wounds of
the woman precluded the possibility
of her killing herself. The coroners
office and the sheriff were at first in.

which the coroner, after ON examina-
ton, declared had been done, has
led the authorities to the belief that
there was third party to the affair

The shooting is believed to have
taken place Monday or Tuesday night.
No shots were heard by the girls in
the camp nearby, or by any neighbor-

learned, but the noise from the small
caliber weapon would attract no at
