IN THE DAYS NEWS
HULL

'-The city Of Hull doesn't official
ly exist" says bulletin issued by
the National Geographic Society, deal
ing with the town in England near
which the United States Nays giant
dirigible balloon exploded. Hull is the
name of small river emptying into
the broad estuary of the Humber. and
the official name of of the city at its
mouth is Kingston upon Hull.
Wrapped up in the name is the his
tory of a. more or less profitable real
estate deal by King Edward 1 of Eng
land. who, though he conquered Wales
by force of arms, acquired the city on
the Humber by the more peaceful pro-
cess of trading some outlying acreage
with the monks who owned it. He had
visions, which have since been justi-
| fled, of the towns becoming an>im-
portant port, and to make the place
| Immediately more popular with set
| tiers changed its name from 'Wyke-
upon-Hull to Kingston upon Hull. But
| a generation impatient of long names
seems to have sprung up in England
as well as in America. and the city is
now almost universally known mere
! ly as Hull.
Hull has nearly $50 900 inhabitants
1t is about 20 miles from the open sea
A at pOlIN where the estuary VI lllS
Humber is some three miles wide
| There are many shallow areas in the
river and the tide at times makes q
marked difference in the water level
Because of this fact Hull's harbor-
it is sixth among the scores of ports
in Great Britain-is almost entirel,
a matter of artificial basins entered
! by locks in which the water is KEEP
at high tide level. The town is situat-
ed on flat, low plain, and a large
number of these docks, aggregatinf
hundreds of acres, have been scoopeC

rounds the old part of the town, *
that a forest of stacks and mast
seem to spring fEom its highways
Beyond the chain of basins is the new

Hull was at one time the head
quarters of the North Sea fishing in

is Grimsby on the other side of tn

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Mr. Editor: In last weeks Bulletin
was reading Scotland news and was
greatly amused to read that the school
closed Wednesday on account of the
measles. 1t was a mistake for it closed
for the holidays. The measles had been
raging for two weeks or more before
and school kept and not one house or
person was quarantined and measles
cards were not put on houses to let peo-
pie know and those not having them
could look out and keep away. One mo-
ther called up Archie Gallup, health Of
ficer for the town, 10 see why he didn't
card the houses. He said the time for
children to have them was when they
We're young. But what Of older people
that have not had them? The doctor
attending the most of the cases is a
health officer VIC are told, and it will be
remembered how Eliza Palmer was
brought into court in Windham for
leaving the house when her children had
scarlet fever but the same doctor TOOK
a boy from Windham in his auto TO his
| guan3father's in Scotland and never
quarantined the house or family his
arandfa ther taking scarlet fever and
being seriously i'll. He has never been
| as well since and is hard Of hearing
/ Now why is it some people have to
/ suffer when they are careful and others
| can go as they please and where they
please with the same disease? Is It a
| just law not to be enforced on all alike
| Any officer falling to do his duty to pro
