That great mountain ranges exist

win never come when there win be no
trees.
1t was just before Christmas and the
Czechoslovakian Juniors were busting
about getting ready to make every
body thoroughly happy. All of sud-
den the most narrowing rumor came
flying along-somebody had suggested
that the Juniors shouldn't have Christ
mas treesl
What" protested all the Juniors
at once. Christmas Trees are half of
Christmasl Why can't we have them?''
Well, when the reason was given it
was a very reasonable reason. "Ror,"
explained the Suggestor, every Christ
mas tree means a tree cut down and
lost, and the Republic needs every tree
it has, and more too"
Then there was a great to-do and
much talk, you may be sure, for all
the Czech Juniors are intensely pat
riotic. Some said this and some argu-
ed that, but this and that came to just
nothing, till all at once somebody found
the solution: the Juniors might have
their Christmas trees, but Immediately
after Christmas each class must take
measures to plant, replaIit, protect, or
help in some way to increase the
growth of Christmas and all other
trees.
And that's very good plan for Jun
iors of every country to carry out, all
the year round.

GOOD WATER POLLUTED BY BAD
HANDLING.

Certified water of satisfactory quail
ity and safety may be so handled in its
delivery and storage aboard a vessel
as to render it unfit and unsafe for
consumption, says the u. S. Public
Health Service in a recent report. For
instance, the methods used by passen-
ger vessels operating on the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers IN the summer of
1921 frequently resulted in contamina-
ton Of the water On the Great Lakes.
on the other hand, the methods used
were generally satisfactory and the re-
suits Of the meteorological analysis
showed much lower counts.
BY law. drinking water on vessels
engaged in interstate traffic must be
obtained from certified sources
ashore or must be purified by treat
ment aboard by an approved method"
The choice between these will naturally
be controlled by the relative trouble
and expense which in turn
is controlled by circumstances.
Great Lakes bulk freighters which dock
at wharves in canals and slips viii in
many places be unable to get certified
water ashore conveniently or inexpen-
sively, while passenger vessels, which
call at larger places, can usually OBJ
tain satisfactory water. On the Ohio
and Mississippi, however, both freight
and passenger vessels can find good
water at the points where they dock.
Unfortunately. the facilities for con-
veyiug the drinking water aboard yes
sells along the rivers have been unsat-
isfactory. At Louisville, Cincinnati
Evansville, Huntington, Pittsburgh
and other river ports, certified water
is available but in 1921 was delivered
aboard in unusual ways Generally
speaking. no hydrants We're available
on the landings and the water had to
be carted from the nearest hydrants in
kegs or barrels or conveyed by roust
abouts in wheelbarrows; or even car
ried in pals and buckets. The cost of
such transportation was high and the
chance for pollution of the water was
great The water could be delivered
by hose from hydrants placed on the
piers more eheaply and with reason
able minimum exposure to contamina-
tion.
The report recommends that hy-
drants to public water supplies be plac-
ed on the piers at places convenient for
delivery through hose. The hose so
used should be carefully protected
from contamination from the river
water and other sources and should be
used for no other purpose. Where the
river level is subject to marked changes i
water pipe should be run down the
incline Of the landing and city hy-
drants, properly protected, should be
placed on it at about each Is feet Of
vertical rise in the landing. Prelim-
mary steps TO do this are now being
taken at all five Of the cities named
above.

lowing comments:
The public has heard all about the

Either one of the Farnum boys
Doug Fairbanks or Tom Meighan
or Tom Mix or Bilp Hart could prob
ably give Dempsey an argument. Why
should they be represented to the pub

ties of the American Bankers associ-
tion during the seven months period
from September /, 1921, through March
81, 1922. These facts were brought
out here today by the report OF the
protective committee and the protec-
tive department of the association,
presented to the annual spring meet
ing of the executive council
The report said that, as result Of
the department. operations against
criminals in the stated period, there
was a total Of 314 arrests. There were
pending from arrests prior to Septem-
Der 1, 1921, 256 cases not disposed Of.
OF the aggregate OF $40 cases han
died during the period, 2S2 convictions
were secured, while those released, es-
capped, died or insane amounted to 1872,
leaving 1856 cases awaiting trial on
March 81
Since September 1, 1921, the review
stated, there have been reported to the
committee 14J burglaries and attempt
ed burglaries against members of the
American Bankers association and 81
against nom members. No burglaries
or attempted burglaries We're reported

Hold-ups involving members of the

The figures relative to the members
of the association were more COM
