Quicksands of Love
Adele Garrison's New Phase of
Repelafi0ns of q Wife

( Wen make the bow first" she
said, flor we know your verdict al
ready. We see it in your eyes.
Aren't we the nifty young pair OF
interior decorators, thought"
Indeed you are" Katherine
agreed warmly. II suppose this, "
she waved toward Katie's room,
winds up the exhibit."
"All except our secret staircase"
/ Lillian agreed. That's the gem of
the whole thing.N Watch me very
closely, ladies and gentlemen"
! She stepped to an angle of the
wall between Katie's door and that
/ OF tn bathroom and laid her hand
upon a section of the paneling which
to casual eyes was like every other
which the hall contained. Only eyes
prepared for the scrutiny could dis
tinguish the difference in the
growing of this panel and see the
tiny latch which Lillian pressed.
sliding the door back and disclosing
an entrance to q narrow staircase.
"It's Private Staircase"
This staircase was always here"
Lillian explained. In the buildings
| heyday, when it was a multimillion-
aires home, it connected the SER
wants quarters on the fourth floor
with the basement. But when the
mouse was changed into apartments
the staircase was walled off on the
i first. second and third floors and
nailed up on the top and the base
ment. So it's a private staircase
now between your two floors. But
we've had some time fixing doors
that would look like the wall. The
owner, of course, insisted upon that,
saying that it was an unusual thing
for one family to want two spart-
Iments,. and that when Madge left
the doors would have TO be fastened
again.
so that's what the men have been
working on in the second floor hall"
Katherine commented, and we real
lied how far from ordinary things
had been her mind since the tragedy
eff Lucia Meredith.
''That's it," Lillian answered, and
then we all three started and looked
at each other in quick, startled
alarm.
For from below us on the second
floor where my sleeping boy was Cha
only occupant, there had come a
sound like the closing of a door.

over to Crabtown to watch the Fid-
dler Crabs, i had surprised him to
find that they could dig holes and
that they lived in holse in the
ground. Whenever he saw a hole in
the mud he wouldewonder if a Fid-
dler Crab was living there. This
CrahtoWn was on the bank of a
creek in the salt marsh. Danny
soon discovered that when the tide
was way out there was very little
water left in that creek and there
were big mudlats and sandbars. He
often saw Peep the Least Sandpiper
with his friends running about there.
Sometimes there were larger birds
with them. Occasionally he saw
Tattler the Yellow-legs Always they
seemed to find plenty to eat and
seemed to be having a splendid time
running about.

(Surgeon General, United states
Public Health Service)
Foremost among the deleterious
influences exerted by stream popu-
ton is the contamination OF public
water supplies. If not prevented,
or if not remedied by the installa-
ton of water publication plants,
sickpess and death are inevitable.
Nuisances manifested by offensive
odors and unsightliness may also
result. Thus the public health and
comfort are disturbed.
The wholesome recreation afford
ed by fishing, bathing and boating
may be jeopardized by pollution.
Bathing in polluted water is so
manifestly hazardous as to require
repeated words of warning.
Fish life may be entirely de-
stroyed by pollution due to indus
trial wastes. Live stock, through
inability to secure plentiful sup
plies of safe water may also suffer.
Coming to a consideration of the
treatment of unsafe streams, one is
struck by the obviousness, the ex-
pensiveness and also the necessity
of the remedies
When a stream is polluted by
sewage, either a disposal plant must
be constructed or the sewage outlet
established at such a point as will
insure inoffensive elimination of che
waste. If the dilution is sufficient,
measures for publication of the
water used may be substituted.
When pollution is caused by an
industrial waste, and it is desired
TO prevent contamination, two
courses are open, namely: Either
the discharge of the material must
be discontinued entirely or an
efficient disposal plant utilized. In
'the latter instance, the waste must
be so modified in character as to
render it less obnoxious and the
water safe OF easily capable of being
made so.
Owing to the Importance of the
stream pollution problem from the
standpoint of health and welfare,
every citizen has an interest at
stake. Primarily the matter de-
mands full understanding and CO.
operation between public health
officials, municipalities and indus
tries.
