Your Health How to Keep It.
 Causes of Illness
BY DR. HUGH S. CUMMING Surgeon General, United States
 Emilio Eealth SarNicA

Surgeon General, United States Public Health Service Stream and lake pollution has steadily increased in the United States in the last few years with our rapidly increasing population until 1t is extremely difficult, in most cases impossible, 10 get a source of supply of water that is safe to drink without being purified. In many cases the contamination is becoming so great that if there should be any material increase in this contamination, 1t will no longer be possible to purify the water ex- cept at a cost which is prohibitive of it's use.
 Controllable Fortunately, many Of the factors responsible for stream pollution are controllable, tending to make an otherwise bad situation more hope 1 full.
 The Public Health Service de- sires to point out the need for seri- ous consideration of a problem Of steadily increasing importance, a problem which this service has for years studied in great detail. At present, the subject Of stream pollution is engaging the studious atteDtion of many scientists. These workers are seeking diligently to re- duce the contamination of natural water courses.
 So far. progress in combating the conditions responsible for pollution ihave been slow, because many peo- pie fall to realize how the problem affects them individually and collec- lively.
 1 S;ck Information Officers of state and municipal governments are constantly seeking accurate information on this subject
 so that appropriate action may be taken.
 There is a limit to the amount oi
 pollution a given body of water may
 receive and yet leave the water cap
 able Of being rendered safe for do,
 mestic use at an expense which i: not prohibitiye.

To make sure, Peter sniffed so hard he scared the butterfly. But there wasn't a particle of perfume. Then Peter was puzzled. Yes. sir. Peter was puzzled.

 "Then why should one have such nice perfume and the other have none at all?" asked Peter.

Just as he would almost catch up with the butterfly, away that butterfly would go, flit- r-flutter-flitter. Peter began to feel cross.

He couldn't be- lieve it had, yet Redwing the Black bird had as much as said that but terflies had perfume; Peter just wanted to know,
 At last Peter sat down discour- aged. He was hot and tired and cross and he hadn't been able to catch up with q single butterfly.

He was sorely tempted 10 race over there in just the way he had been racing about, but just in time he thought 10 use his head.

RAIL MERGERB|LL
GIVEN APPROVAL
Cummins Measure to ConSoIi-
date Roads Is Sent to Sen
ate Floor.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The CumminS bill to enforce rail-
road consolidation after an expert
mental period was reported favorably
yesterday by the Senate interstate
commerce committee. The outlook
for passage at this session is dubious.
The compulsory clauses of the bill
would apply to those roads which fail
to consolidate within five years. At
the end of that time the Interstate
Commerce Commission would proceed
to unity the roads into limited num-
ber of systems, to be established in
accordance with the public interest.
Without taking into account the
economies that may be secured
through consolidation" said the COM
mittee report, "it is submitted as an
inevitable conclusion that if a process
CT wise consolidation is not soon en-
tered upon and rapidly carried for
ward, not less than 10000 miles, and
it may reach $4,000 miles, of our rail
transportation system must be either
abandoned or, at the best, will be
rendering the most unsatisfactory
and inefficient service.
These facts present the chief rea-
son for the passage of this bill. If
the facts are fairly understood, con-
solidation in some form is a foregone
''It has been estimated that with the
service now being rendered. there
could be n saving of from $500, ,000.-
900 to 100000, 900 annually, all of
which could be utilized in a reduction
of freight and passenger rates.
1.-The committee has not had in mind
increasing profits for railway COM
panies. It's attention has been di-
rected solely to the highest efficiency
in service and the lowest rates at
which service can be performed"

POLICE STOP JOURNEY
OF 3 GIRLS TO FLORIDA
Held in House of Detention Here
as Fugitives Awaiting Word
From Parents.

An intended migration of three
Young girls from their home town of
Binghamton, \. Y, to Florida struck
a snag here last night when police,
learning of their penniless plight, took
them into custody as fugitiveS from
their parents. They are being held at
the House of Detention awaiting word
from the parents.
Police learned of the adventures of
the trio when q young man overheard
them discussing their plight in a res
taurant last night and later escorted
them to the apartment house in which
he resides, at 625 l. street southeast.
There he told Policeman Connors of
the fourth precinct, who also resides
at the apartment house. and the latter
took them into custody.
At the police station the trio regis
tered as Wilma Ager, 16 years old;
Deloris Wilbert, Is, and Madelyn
earns, II.
The girls stronuously objected to the
suggestion of the police that they re-
turn to their homes.
1--WE don't want to return to Bing
hamton," one of the girls told Sergt.
Bobo, after being sent to the House
of Detention. I'VE set out for Florida
and that's where we want to 60"
The girls admitted they had started
out with scant cash assets, but said
they had had no difficulty in getting

Counterfeits

OF all the money that comes into
the treasury the expert counter quick
ly detects counterfeits, such as 81
bill raised to twenty, and stamps it
"Counterfeit" in letters that cut clear
through the paper. The bill is then
sent back to the sender with the hope
that it may be traced to its source.
Failing to trace II, the bill is returned
to the Treasury Department for in

THE NEW JAP EMPEROR

When Emperor Yoshihito of Japan became seriously ill all busi- ness and amusements in Japan auto matically ceased. The entire popula- ton knocked off work and play and instead spent the time from morn until night i'' prayer. They take such things seriously in Japan. But in spite of all the emperor died and Crown Prince Hirohito became the 124th emperor in line.
 In the cou~ze of time, after the period of mourning has ceased, the accession Of the new emperor may make some difference in the domes- tic and foreign policy of Nippon. It may be more enlightened or it may be the reverse. With Yoshihito as mikado, Japan went through the World War and through the most devastating earthquake of modern times. The likelihood is abundant that Hirohito will have a more cquable reign. His chief troubles no doubt will be matters of interior policy, with what we would term insurgents" cnliycning up an other wise obcdient parliament.

NEW POSTAGE RATES

The lower house of Congress re- flected the wishes of citizens ac- curately when it lost no time in passing the bill to restore one cent postage rates to private mailing cards, It now remains for the Sen ate to do likewise, and lose no time about it.
 The two-cent rate was recommend ed by the pest office department in the belief that it would double the revenue. Instead of doing so, the revenue from these cards was al- most entirely eliminated and the in- dustry of manufacturing them was devastated. The action was much criticized; now the department has discovered it's error and is eager to have the one-cent rate back on the private cards.
 Other more liberal concessions to popular needs are in prospect through the present effort to revise the postal rates. Collectible postage for return business mailing cards when received by the original send CT, should be an advantage to busi- ness in general and lend 10 eliminate a great deal of waste now part of sending out return mailing cards when they are stamped and not used. When they are not stamped they are not likely to be used. Any thing that facilitates trade should be adopted by the post office de- partment, for in that way We all gain.

THE 1927 PROSPECT
 IN BUSINESS

New Britain's economic and in dustrial leaders, who through the Herald confided to their fellow citi- zens what they thought of the pros poets for business during the early part of 1927, tinctured their opti- mism with conservatism, as befits men of responsibility who are deal ing with a situation over which mo- body really has any control.
 If there is anyone in New Britain who should be in position 10 gauge the prospects of the near future it should be those at the heads of organizations doing a national busi- Eess. They hear reports from sales men spread over the terrain between the Atlantic and Pacific and every little turn in the tide is automatical- ly recorded through these emmis- saries of the city's major products.
 The supposition seems 10 be that the high voltage business of 1925 end 1926 cannot continue indefinite ly. although no one looks for a seri- ous recession. Some thoughtless thinkers refer to such a natural cas- ing up in trade as depression. but assuredly the wrong card is applied in this instance. There never has been time, and perhaps never will be, when commerce has not been subject to slight recessions of activity; but where basic conditions are as sound as in this camuy thore is no reason 10 expect more than q temporary rcadjustment 10 new con- ditions and then another period Of nothing to worry about

 But the difference between our mistakes and mistake made by the engineer of a locomotive is a mat ter of scores of lives. An engineer must never make an important mis- take.
