it means that the chemists are positive or not positive as to something that may kill us, but when the report goes on to assure Us that judging from the above data we are ahie to report that the supply has maintained it's usual high standard of excellence during the time covered by this report" we feel pretty good about it, And then our spirits rise at the final conclusion of the report that The analyses show that the supply is pure and in eNcel7 lent condition fer drinking purposes.
 When a person remembers living in communities where no one would think of drinking the water running from a faucet in the kitchen, know ing that it is impure, and where all water that was taken internally had to be purchased in bottles this news of the purity of the water of this city impresses, and there is every reason why we should feel proud of the water situation in this regard.

OUR PURE WATER.

Perhaps nothing makes 2 person suffering from some comparatively slight disappointment more angry than the old remark, Think how much better off you are than a lot Of people" And yet the advice is good and. if followed. does bring a bit Of shame that complaint has been made over some trouble which is not ser- sous after aiL

There are one or two perhaps even three-streets the payemenfs of which Inspire something quite different from expressions Of enthusiasm. But as cities go we are pretty well Of. and in one respect ws do not suffer as many cities suffer.
 This is in the matter of the purify Of our water supply. Since it is a rainy, gloomy day out-of-doors 1t is well to have in mind as many of inc pleasant things as possible. and so the report of the chemists who have ex- smined our water supply, in regard 10 its purity for drinking purposes may be emphasized. or course when that report talks about positive tests for gas" and mo positive test for baciiIi coil" zs are not quite sure whether

FACT AND FIN.

It is not in criticism Of the tanners or any other body of men or women in convention assembled, to note that consciously or unconsciously they complain about new babits, as habits, which, incidentally, injure their busi- ness. Hairdressers, for instance, who do not have, probably as many calls from bobbed -haired women and girls to dress their hair as they have from women with long tresses, insist that bobbing the hair frequently is bad for the hair. Now come the tanners. whose business would be benefited by a greater use of leather, and insist that the present styles in women's shoes and the use Of rubber heels is running the feet of the nations wom- en. The tanners, quite unselfishly, ad- socate the use Of real leather shoes as the remedy for foot ills. And excess sive motoring. too. came in fer ad- verse criticism at this convention Of Tanners at Atlantic City The auto mobile industry has made inroads into the shoe and tanning industries, it is said. Walking, Of course, is the great health buildcr--and. incidentally again-it wears ont ones shoes so that is good for the tanners.
 There is more truth in all this than the tanners seemed to realize. AS we get in the habit of driving the car even to the corner grocery to get a cake Of yeast. we lose just so much skill in the limbs which were made in the first place in the shape of fins 10 push us through the water, and later into legs and feet to propeI us over ihe ground. If ne don't walk at all, then. few generations hence. all we will have in the place Of legs and feet will be some sort Of appendages which wiil be good for nothing except to step on the gas and, perhaps. the clutch and brake-aIthough from the looks Of things by that time we would not be inclined to use any brake and something will have taken the place of the clutch-the whole automobile for that matter and we'll be flying in- sfead.

STRICTLY LODGESQUE.

The proposal of Senator Lodge to substitute new world court for the one now existing and in which sits an American, is absolutely characteristic of him. It is Lodgesque in its every particular, and if there is in it any sincere desire to have such court cre- ated, it is inspired by the same par iisan prejudice which made the ex- precision League of Nations" abhor- rent to the Senator from Massachu- setts. But the suspicion is that the author of this proposal has made it, resultant peace, but rather either to take the winds out of the sails of those whos would blame the republi- can party for inaction h regard to a policy advocated by the late President Harding, by President Coolige and by Secretary of State Hughes, or to cause delay taking any action concern ing the straightforward proposal that the United States participate in the World Court as now existing.
 There is intention to intimate that Senator Lodge nor any other official of the country desires to delay world peace. But the steps toward it must not be taken in any way but "our way'-the way of the party now in power. Forty-seven nations are rec ognizing the present World Court. It is barely conceivable that, in order to have the United States a participant in discussion of world affairs. these forty-seven nations would consent to attend a third Hague conference. if President Coolidge should call one; to agree to the plan proposed by Sem ator Lodge; to agree to break up the existing world court; to define the Jurisdiction of the new court as Mir. Lodge would have it defined. These are' bare possibilities. But then must come agreement to the plan by the Senate. And all these steps would have. 10 be taken before a world court would come out of the new proposal. While we may imagine few of these events taking place, it is almost too much to ask that we be credulous enough to think all Of them would happen. And all are necessary.
 If the unexpected should happen it might be, years hence. that a world court, la Lodge, would be establish ed. In the meantime there is now functioning a World Court which, without all this fuss which in the end might bring no results, the United States could enter at a moments mo- tice--and great step in the direction of peace and understanding would have been taken. .., w4.

NI;N HOMES,

It is satisfactory to keep watch of the new buildings being put up, where pleasant homes may be found. In the report for the month of April 1s5 building permits were issued for building operations totalling some ss75,OO0. But it Is not in the total sum to which these permits amount that we are especially interested at this time. It is in the evidence con- stantly coming that the need for more homes, apartments and tcRements of all sorts, is being recognized, and the value of investment in them seen. There were lO9 frame buildings planned for, 20 brick buildings and ss alteration jobs. And during the month 124 tenements were added
 This is the portion of the report that inspires comment We have passed through long period--and we are still in it for that matter-whcn 1t has been practically impossible to And anything like the sort of tene- ment, apartment or rent" that suits US down to the ground" The field from which to choose has been ex- tremely limited. We have been com paratively satisfied 10 find a place which will give us solid roof over our heads, and few have had the feel ing that they were settled down in place which would become, after a time, really home"
 The pressing need. of course, Is for even these places 10 live where people coming here at the rate of 10000 every four years, may be accommo- dated. But there Is far greater need than that and it goes 10 the foundations of our methods Of living. The complaint Of the day, made by earnest students of social conditions, is that "the home" is having less and less influence on, the young people. The idea of going home only when 5 there is no other spot to make their goal Is, apparently, more prevalent than ever before. One father recent ly purchased a radio set and installed 1t In the home so that his offspring, of the younger set" would be tempt ed to remain there at least once in a while in the evening. And it worked.
 As long as the home is forgotten and 1t seems to be a less important place than 1t used to be--home in- fluence will amount 10 little. 1t is generally acknowledged that such in- fluence is better than that of places where quite different sort Of atmos- phere prevails. We need, after tenn porary dwelling places have been pro- yided to meet the moments necessity, to have the country filled with the i. sort of buildings that may be made real homes, having about them some of the old-fashioned attractiveness which Is never forgotten by those whose childhood was spent in one Of them. The dwellings themselves may have all the modern improvements, Of course, and should have. But the aim should be 10 restore the love Of home by building, where possible, structures that will have personality and an atmosphere Of privacy which will at tach itself 10 those who dwell therein.

GERMAN RELIEF.

One Of inc most difficult of. duties is that which requires one to oppose a move which seems to be calculated to benefit and aid the suffering. And yet that duty is, at times, pressing Granting such aid may, in some in. stances, do more harm when viewed broadly, than good. As indicated ir these columns some time ago, kht Herald did not approve the. action oi the House of Representatives in vot. ing s10, 0,0O0,O00 for German relief. Golfers for May 10, has the follow, ing to say on the subject, under the editorial heading The German Bonus is a Fraud:
 Among members of Congress who know the underlying motives the proposal that this Gov ernment contribute sl0,O00,000 10 the supposedly starving Ger mans is eynically known as "the German bonus"
 Germany is not in want of foodstuffs, and many congress- men know 1t. Those who oppose the appropriation say it is de- signed for political effect in that it will stimulate the grain mar kcts Of the disaffected West, and also please the German American vote.
 It is fraud on the taxpayers, SlO,0O0,O0O fraud, to help cer- tain congressman get votes in No- yember. The appropriation has been. granted by the House and noNSlies in the Senate, where it should be stopped.
 While the House was granting this German bonus," the Ger man farmers, millers, and flour merchants were petitioning their Government for relief from the ruinous importation of flour. They demanded an import tax on the ground that they could not com pete with the influx of foreign breadstuils. This is disclosed in DspdTtlneHI ol ABTlCuituTe re- port on foreign crops.
 The German bonus is not sup ported by Hoover. the President, or any Cabinet officer. IL is not on the same footing with the Russian relief bill passed three years ago. It is apparently a pri- yate political priyateering ven- ture. It is hangover from the war charities when the idea took such strong root that we as a government were responsible for all the hunger and priyation in foreign countries. All the pres- ent trustworthy reports agree that the situation in Germany is not beyond remedy by the Ger man people themselves.
 If there is any real suffering in Germany, it is not due to lack of food, but 10 incompetent admin istration or poor distribution. The Senate know the facts. Let it answer Maximillian Harden's question. He>is German, and he asks.. Why should America help? Germany is literally cram med with food"
