Mrs. William {. Mudd, of Yorkshire, England, celebrated

Mrs. Mudd is one of the worlds greatest butter makers

her art before Queen Victoria.
Your mind runs from butter to milk, and it occurs to you

TO STOP POLLUTION OF NAvIeAsLE WATERS

Congressman Appleby has scored again in getting
through congress his bill calling for an international confer
ence in reference to the pollution of ~navigable waters. The
bill has passed the senate after having passed the house and
it is expected that President Harding will sign it without
delay.
The main purpose of the bill is 10 bring about some
way of preventing ol-burning and oil carrying steamers
from dumping oil refuse into the waters. This has come to
be more than a nuisance; it is a detriment and a danger.
Congressman Appleby has been fighting the matter ever
since he has been in Washington. Coming from a seaside
resort he has appreciated what this dumping of oil means
and it is q decidedly to his credit that during his first term IN
congress he has succeeded in accomplishing this important
piece of legislation.
Pollution of navigable waters has become a great prob
lem. There is more than the oil refuse from the vessels to
contends with. The bays and rivers are becoming fearfully
contaminated with the discharge from municipal sewers and
the various kinds of industries. The scarcity of eatable fish
in waters that, a few years ago, were filled with them and
the thousands of dead menhaden that are washed up on the
beaches every year prove that conditions are not what they
used to be. Pollution of various sorts is the only explana-
ton that can be given.e
With Congressman Appleby succeeding in having con-
oress go into the matter of the oil burning and oil-carrying
vessels in such an exhaustive manner it is possible that
something else may be started along the same line to solve
this whole problem of pollution in navgable waters.

who gave the necessary. aid. -
For three years following the

If the leaders in the movement to
defeat the Adjusted Compensation
bill, and other legislation favorable

disabled, ! too agree that there
would not exist the shameful con-
dition of disabled men being forced
to organize and fight for that which
Is their just due.
The abuse which has been hurled
at the veterans by opponents OF the
Adjusted Compensation bill recalls
Kipling's lines about the treatment
British soldiers received:

A. The pr~evalence OF blindness in
Egypt is probably traceable to the
fact that the fly is sacred in that
country. 1t Is said that a mother

child to another, and in the case
of diseased eyes. the malady is
spread in this manner.
@. When was the freedom of the
press first established?-E. H..
A. The constitutions of Pennsylva-
MIA, Delaware, Maryland and North
Carolina, all adopted in 1776. con-
tanned the earliest declarations OF
any legislative authority in favor of
the liberty of the press. With the
adoption of Article One. amending
the United States Constitution In
1871, the principle Of a free press
and free speech was for the first
time written into the organic law
Of an important nation.

10 cents a mile, first class, for the
5000 mile journey across the Attain
tic on the big liners. This charge
includes meals and sleeping accom-
modations. There is a slight fiuctu-
| alton in rates, depending upon the
type of ship chosen for the voyage
as we'll as upon the season of the
year. For instance, the minimum
rate on a de luxe ship-the MaJes-
tic, Olympic or Homeric-for cross
ing from New York to ~Cherbourg or
Southampton is about s175 in each
! direction, in the height of the sea-
son. with no extras.
But, alluring as these ships are,
with their Turkish baths, gymnast-
ums, swimming pools, tennis court,
huge ball rooms and Partisan res
taurants upoL their upper decks 1t
is not necessary for the thrifty trav-
eler to use them. Cheaper accom-
modations, equally as comfortable II
not so luxurious, can be obtained
on the Liverpool ships. which take
/ eight days and on the vessels which
make Antwerp in nine days. There
are also cabin class ships which
cross in eight or nine days to Liver
pool and ten or eleven DAYS to Ham
burg. These last are steady. staunch
boats ranging from 10000 to 1900
tons in size, and give excellent ser
vice. They are very popular with
aid transatlantic travellers many of
whom can afford to pay much more
than the average cabin class rate,
which is now s125. There is n
regular traveller on these boats who
wears a cane and white spats and
takes his valet with him.
With the American dollar at its
present high rate of exchange value,
Europe is abcl: the cheapest part of
the world IN which an American can
spend a vacation. Railroad travel
on the continent averages about 2
cents a mile-sometimes less than
that. Taxi fares range from IL
cents to a quarter, while extensive
motor rides into the country seldom
cost more than a dollar. Living also
is much cheaper than it is at home.
This is n"G go apparent in the met
ropolitan hotels. which charge New
York prices. But in the smaller
English and French inns, which
are most desirable because of their
quaint atmosphere, n car secure
comfortable accommodations for
about the equivalent of So a day.
All of the European nations are
now putting forth great efforts to
attract the tourist trade. England,
especially which has been rather
Indifferent toward visitors in the
past, is proving unusually cordial
this summer. Perhaps the recent
revival of ipnkeeping in the British
Isles, which has become a favorite
occupation among ex-soldiers, has
something to do with this. Even
Germany is exhibiting great hospi-
tality toward Americans and their
dollars, in spite of the appalling
depreciation Of the mark. An
American with a small income can
now live comfortably there on an
amount that would scarcely maintain
him at home-but not quite so com
fortably as a German citizen could
live on the same sum. For there
is on handicap about being an Amer
lean in Europe. 1t is difficult to
conceal the fact from the CONT
mental s~hopkeepers, who usually
have two sets of prices-one for
Americans and one for the natives.
