Dog Messengers

In the bleak land of Labrador, where the winter distances are vat snow spaces, the means of communication between neighbors is sometimes "a mat ter of serious inconvenience. Their on- ly means of communics ton is by dog sled or on food. But once I saw an interesting example of Labradorean in- genuity in the sending of a message.
 The man with whom | had came 10 spend the night had a brother whom be wished me to meet. This brother lived five miles across what appeared to be an unbroken stretch Of snow and ice, without even a tree between. My host spoke of sending his brother word to come over for a visit, and I wondered how he was going to do tt. was soon enlightened.
 He took a stout piece of board, put bis message on it, attached to it a rope and then called his dogs to him. Harnessing the leader, he tied the rope to the trace and then, with 2 cut of his whip sent the leader away After him ran the team, barking and yelping al l the board that bounded and skidded over the snow.

strean Pollution

An intensive study of stream polu- ton with special regard to the estab- lishnent of a general plan by which any polluted stream in the United States might be purified at minimum expense has recently been begun by the United States Public Health Service. A polluted stream tends to purify itself, but Its power in this direction depends on the amount and charact- CT of the original pollution, on the vol- ume and speed of the current and on the extent to which new pollution is added along it's course.
 The service has selected for study the Chicago main drainage channel and the Illinois river, which empties | into the Mississippi chiefly because all | the primary pollution of this stream | originates in Chicago and is accurately ascertained, both as to amount and l course of the canal and river will de- I ternire the degree and nature of the | changes that take place in 1t.
 Similar work was done on the Ohio
 river from 1914 to isl7, and the pres.
 ent study is to check the results ob'
 tained there. '"'+
 The final object is to establish fun. | damental quzntative relationship be l tween bacteriological and chemical pol lutfon Of a stream on the one hanC

WINE MADE AT HOME
 DEMONsTRATED ITS KICK"

That home made wine that the police seized last week at the Happy street home of Fred Fronchello demonstrated it's kick" at police headquarters before it was returned to him.
 The jolting in the tr1p from Jail Hill to police headquarters apparently set the liquor to fermenting vigorously. When one of the officers thought to loosen the bung of one of the barrels to avoid a possible explosion, the bung shot clear to the ceiling as soon as he had given a tan or two alongside the bungho1e.

Sunday "Get Together" at Y. NJ. c. A.
 A pleasant and profitable hour was spent by goodly group of men at the Y. M. c. A. lobby on Sunday afternoon, when popular hymns were sung and a discussion of the topic The Importance of the One Thing conducted. Secretary Hill opened the discussion by giving a brief talk, and among other things said 1: The topic suggests the thought of conse- cration, and this is certainly needed lin this day and time. There are a great many young men who seek employment, when asked what they can do, respond by saying T can do most anything" put as matter of fact they can do hardly anything. well.

 This is an age of specialists, and this is demonstrated in almost all phases of | life. The medical profession is a fine | illustration of specialization.

More and more We are developing the specialist and the result is that there is fal greater efficiency than formerly.
