water it can only be restored by
aeration. which is best in shall
low and swift rivers where the
water splashes over rocks and
other obstacles. Water flowing
over a dam is we'll aerated.
1t follows, therefore, that shall
low rivers recover from pollution
more quickly than deep ones,
and that the deep parts of pol
luted stream will be worse than
the shallow ones.
Another reason for expecting
better conditions in winter is
that the little minute living or
ganisms which perform the work
Of Oxidization work better in
cold weather.
Ice, however, will stop aeration
altogether and make the effects
of pollution worse than they
would be in warmer weather. 1t
Is for this reason that ice from
polluted streams or ponds Is al
ways dangerous.
Depletion of oxygen affects
game fish much sooner than the
sucker type. such as carp and
mullet. The worst waste, those
most difficult to be overcome by
oxygen, are vinegar mash.- the.
sticky liquor from garbage dis
posal and lanyard waste. They
use up more of the oxygen Of
the water than other wastes.
The fundamental object of any
process for preventing pollution
from the third class mentioned
above is either to remove the un-
stable material from sewage and
Industrial waste. or to change it
to stable material before dis
charging 1t. This is usually done
by settling in the septic tank
and by subsequent filtering, and
by oxygenation of the remaining
mass.
These hints are given to slim
ulate you to the discharge Of
your duty in protecting and in
seeing that others protect the
source Of your water supply.

It seemed to Rosemary, coming
into the cool, dim hall from the
glare and noise of the street, that
nothing mattered but getting
home, that nothing but ma could
be worth crying about again.
A frenzy of fear gripped her,
She left GeEtie sobbing on the
steps, and ran into the kitchen
calling Mother where

She ran back to the hall, Ger

Didn't you hear her say she

Gertie wiped her eyes with her
wet, crumpled handkerchief. Her
face twisted painfully. "Oh, it's

stand-just-just a, letter / got
from Al. / took it ou' of the box

gan to cry again, the strangling.
broken crying of one unused to
tears.
About Al! Crying that way
about AL! A bald-headed man
she'd known pretty nearly ten
years-when she. Rosemary, could
let PHI go without a whimper.
"He said"-Gertie was strug-
Cling to form the words-"that
he wouldn't wait any longer. I'd
have to decide one way or the
other. So / wrote"-she held the
square white envelope up-"and
said that if he felt that way,

rible ! couldn't stay in school an

dear old Gertie! She must have
been hard hit If she walked home
from school in the middle of the
morning. Gertie. who never
missed a day from one year to

Rosemary reached out and took

bling fingers. Tore It INTO little

petals on the floor.

She was hungry and she looked
about for a place to eat. Walked
into a crowded room where
women were standing, waiting
their turn to be served. But
there was one place left at a
counter. Rosemary took it. y
The girl at the next stool

make room for Rosemary. Her
hands were singularly beautiful;

gray hat, the clear palIor Of her
