WHEN THE LEAVES BEGIN TO
 TURN

By Louise Cr. Rcucmeyer I studied Botany this term And learned about the trees. The plants, the bulbs, the flowers,
 too, And how the busy bees Take pollen from one kind of plant To fertilize the next; l studied these things out of doors And also in the text. Of all the parts about a plant I like the leaves the best; They seem 10 me like little flags By loving winds caressed. I like the dainty tracery Of veins in elm and oak; But darn q teacher who cant take A little harmless joke! She played on me dirty trick And for revenge I burn! She asked this question: "Tell inst
 when The leaves begin 10 turn" She gave me zero for the term Because l said, Well, ma am, Relieve mo, leaves begin to turn The night before exam"

OIL ON THE WATERS

Dwellers in the cities along Long Island Sound can be thankful not more big ships are using it, con- sidering the amount of fuel oil re- fuse that is being thrown from tankers and oil burning ships nowa- days.
 oil from these vessels has proved nuisance of high calibre at shore resorts along the entire north At lantic coast, and less of nuisance in the Sound because of the rela- lively few coastwise steamers ply ing therein.
 The oil refuse provides an injury to the rights Of bathers, the fish ing industry and individual fisher men, and to sea fowl. In the Sound there would be the added disad- vantage of injury to the oyster beds.
 There will be at least one more summer of distress from this nui- sance along the Atlantic scaboard. An international preliminary con- ference is to meet in Washington June 8 with the view of causing the maritime nations to take united action to eliminate the evil. Several governments, including the Ameri- can and the British, have attempt ed to alleviate the nuisance through legislation along their own coasts, but it has been found that an in ternational agreement will be nec- cssary to bring all maritime na- tions in line and thus bring about an important and practical reform along the seacoasts.
 Former Senator Joseph S. Ere linghuysen, who introduced the first bill in Congress for the re- straint of oil pollution along the coasts. will be at the head of the American delegation. That he is the right man in the right place does not need emphasis As chairman of the executive committee on the na- tional Anti-Pollution and Conserva- ton league he has done good serv- ice in this cause. The departments of state and commerce will furnish advisers and the ten nations whose representatives will attend the con- ference no doubt will be shown the need for concerted action 10 pre- serve the rights of the people.
 It may be asked: What are the ships to do with the!r waste oil if not permitted to throw it over board? Tho answer is ready. The use of oil scparators will be neces- sary. These have been installed on number of ships and have been found efficient and economical. Not all Of the so-called waste oil is waste; good fuel oil can be sep arated and saved for use, leaving only non-polluting oil 10 be thrown overheard as refuse. This is the plan before the international body. The people along the shores and the millions who use them during the summer time are entitled to this protection. -...
