Swimming Danpers.

In the good old days when san
itation was little heard Of, no one
ever feared the refreshing water Of
the old swimming hole.
But the present is different Con
tamination may lurk in streams and
small rivers, especially following a
long drouth, when there has been no
rainfall to flush the streams and
cleanse the water.
Due to the lack Of rain that has
been general over the country, riv-
ers are lower now than they have
been for years, even during August
when they reach the lowest level.
This should be warning enough to
those who are tempted to venture
into the water for a cooling swim.
There are few streams that are
not contaminated with sewage
which is not readily carried off when
the water is sluggish And it is in
this that the danger lies. If they do
not receive sewage, there are other
ways by which disease germs, such
as typhoid, may be developed when
the stream is not swift moving and
cleansing itself.
Parents win do well to persuade
their children to remain out Of the
rivers and small streams until con
ditions are improved with rain-Ex.

BERLIN MUSICAL PUBLIC
APATHETIC TO CONCERTS
Artists Play to Half-Filled Houses.
But Like to Come Because of
Press Criticisms.
BY the Associated Press.


BERLIN. December 9.-The Ger
man capital is suffering from over
production of concerts. combined with
appalling apathy on the part of the
concert going public. Fritz kreisler is
the only artist whose concert this
Winter was sold out in advance. As
he proceeds were devoted exclusively
to charity. il is not unthinka BILE that
except for this ii also might have
shown vacant seats.
AS many as five or six or even
seven artists of world fame Sometimes
give concerts in Berlin on the same
night. Each of them has half-flled
house at best. Many of the auditors.
usually at least half. hold free passes.
The artists nevertheless come to Ber-
lin because of the value to them of the
musical CRITICISMS appearing in the
metropolitan press.
The apathy Of the public is eX-
plajned on two grounds. First. they
lack the cash to spend on musical per
formances. and. second, the radio pro
grams are considered attractive when
one may sit in ones home and there
listen to the voices from the air.
