garbage collection void cost too much. Only few months ago it was considered, and at that time the council voted to determine just how cbeaply the removal of garbage from all homes in the city could be ae- eomplished. Nothing has been heard of any results of the investigation. There is no doubt that this house to house garbage collection would be ex- pensive, but whether or not t would be too expensive for Putnam is a matter for the council and the people to decide. Especially since "eeo- nomy' Is the watchword of the pres ent administration it looks doubtful If such a system.
 A Possible Solution
 The suggestion of increasing the pay of the city health officer to suen an extent that he mag put more time into his city work, perhaps making systematic rounds of the city and ordering improvement wherever any nuisance spot is found, Is one that might be considered profitably by the governing body and the people of Putnam.
 We who have become accustomed to looking at those places in the city whose natural sightliness and per haps beauty have been spoiled do not realize the impression that they make on visitors from another place. If we cannot make Putnam model, let's at least come as near to II as We can.
 There are many people who are paying twenty-five and fifty cents a week under present conditions to nave their garbage disposed of, and many who are paying nothing but ought to do so. From those who are putting out money to get the refuse taken away protest has often been heard because there is no city eoi- lection.
 Job For Swine Raisers
 Some man outside the city limits who has many swine t0 feed night he engaged to make a house to house garbage collection for part of the city and second man the same in an- other section. This the stock owners would probably do for small financial recompenSe. That the city should in stall an incinerating plant is another ONlHfDU NsAfd.

TAYLOR TELLS POLICE
Officers Find Where He Got Liquor
 and Raid Oc air Place

When Abraham Taylor, eolored of bristol, Conn., was arraigned in the city court Saturday morning, on the charge of having been drunk, he told Judge Geissler where and under what circumstances he obtained the liquor that got him into the hands of the police.
 Having told. it was not strange, therefore. that Captain of Police Jar wis and some of his men, made a few hurried arrangements and early Sat urday forenoon, made a raid at the home of Stanley 0clair, a Pole, on School street. There the officers found and seized quantity of al. eohol and placed Stanley under ar rest.
 In the city court Stanley was found guilty of selling liquor and was fined $50 and costs. When the officers visit ed his home, they found gun. They took the weapon as Stanley is an alien and as such is not allowed by law to possess such thing. Stanley waived all right to the gun and the police did not press any charge

A newly discovered fiber known as .arghana may take the place of flax and cotton in the manufacture of tex tiles. It is said to be half as strong again as the best flax and hemp, weayes into fine cloth that bleaches and dyes easily. resists the ac ion Of sea water and has unexeelled W airing qualities. It is derived from a p'Ant of maguey or pineapple type which originally grew only in South America. It is being transplanted to the Malay states, Ceylon and India by manufac- turers who plan to bring it to prefec- ton.

Taking the nuisance which garbage and rubbish in Putnam constitute as subject for this week. we first looked up the ordinance provisions on the sub feet. The result of our investigation was the location of only one section, number ninty-four, where the subject was mentioned at all. and this simply forbade dumping or depositing ashes, garbage. filth or rubbish Of any kind on the streets. sidewalks. parks. streams, ponds and gutters of the city.
 During the summer months In par ticular. garbage left exposed in the ooen is a serious menace. Piles of gar page make an excellent breeding place for flies. provide splendid opportunity for rats to thrive. and the foul odors given of are active invitations to dis ease and III health.
 IL Is not necessary to go to outlying districts of the city to find garbage, rubbish and ashes heaped in back yards. Such conditions can be found in the best residential districts and in the heart of the business section. One of the worst rubbish dumps in the een- ter Is that on the steep bank rising from Canal street Co the rear of the Mullan store building. All conceiv- able kinds of rubbish have been thrown by the general public over the top of the bank, whence it rolls down the hill until an obstruction in the form of more rubbish or some other matter is struck.
 Neighbors are likely to complain about such conditions exsisting in the yard next door, but when they follow the same method themselves, there Is not likely to be any complaint regis tered Health Officer Peter A. Gard uer believes that during the past two years the garbage conditions have improved. but there is certainly room for further improvement.
 Health Officer Investigates
 Where families have poultry or a pig or two some refuse can be con- sumed by this stock, but fowls are .earce iu Putnam and pigs even more SO Where there are neither, fami- lies must either pay for having their rubbish removed, bury 1t themselves n a hole dug in the ground, or follow the too common practice of piling it on Che ground. Through long GUS tom it has come to be the duty of the city health officer to investigate any cases to which his attention is called, and this he has done in a thoroughly capable manner. The remuneration of this official and other demands upon his time. how ever. prevent him from doing more than attending to complaints which may come in.
 This is matter which has been taken up and aired time and time again by the city council, which body has always dropped 1t on the grounds that a workable system of

RETURN TO CITY
Camp Utopia Breaks Up For Season
 May Return Next Year

Over 200 New York City boys and girls who have spent the summer at Camp Utopia on Woodstock Lake. returned Tuesday to their homes. There were special ears on the e.2l morning train for the tanned camp CTS. Taxis brought the young people from the camp to the station platform nearly an hour before train time, and during that period they sang and cheered, and chatted necessarily.
 isid0r Liehow. assisted by Mrs. Laura Liehow. was in charge of the two camps. one for the boys and one for girls. The camps have had very successful season. The threatened denial of the right to swim n the lake did net materialize this summer so the campers were not deprived of their daily plunges. Should the bath ing regulations become applicable to Woodstock Lake before next summer. the camps would probably seek an. other site.

 At this same session of the court Walter McGregor, who created a fuss in the kitchen at the Putnam Inn. where he had been working, was ar- raigned on the charge of having been intoxicated. He was fined s20 and costs. Mir. McGregor was violently sick while at the police station. In fact his condition was so alarming for a time, that a doctor was called in twice to attend him.

Expression Actually
limitation to Death

Inc origin of some common express
sions Is always interesting, and wheth-
er the following is authentic or not
is an open question. When In ancient
days the weaving industry of Hall
fax, England, was cottage craft-a
farmers family working on clumsy
handlooms-the pieces used to be
spread out on the hillside, and were
therefore peculiarly liable to theft.
Particular crimes led to particular
remedies, and custom, which had
the authority of a local law, grew up,
that anyone convicted of stealing
cloth to the then value of l3 pence
halipenny was liable to Immediate exc.
cution. drastic law which naturally
safeguarded the cloth industry.
Punishment was carried out, not by
hanging, but by sort of guillotine.
This was the Halifax gibbet law, the
name of which is preserved by a still
standing street in the town, while the
actual knife of the gibbet may be seen
in the old manor rolls Office at Wake
held. Halifax ts.us acquired a repu-
tation among thieves and vagabonds
as the last town in England desir
able TO visit. And to tell anyone to
go TO Halifax is equivalent to bidding
him to Go hang ."-Chicago journal

Genius of .Philology
GiUen Stern Justice

Curious pleas have sometimes been
put forward in support Of the reprieve
of notorious criminals. One of the
stranSest was that on behalf of
George Ruloff, an American school
teacher, who was convicted in 1870
of series of robberies and murders
his own wife and daughter being
among the victims. For cod-bloodeG
cruelty his record would be hard to
beat, but Rulof' had his other side.
He was an ardent philologist, and
had been engaged for years on the in
ventiOn of universal language. No
one could attempt to palliate his
crimes, but widely signed petition
was presented to the governor of Vir
ginia for his reprieve on the ground
that as his invention, if completed,
would be of the utmost benefit to man
kind 1t would be criminal folly to ex.
tinguish such light of learning. The
governor thought otherwise and RulofT
was duly hanged.
