Surgeon General, United States
Public Health Service

Stream and lake pollution has
steadily increased in the United
States in the last few years in direct
ratio to our rapidly increasing pop
ulation. Now it is extremely diff
cult to secure supply of water that
is safe to drink without being puri-
fled.
In many cases the contamination
is becoming so great that if there
should be any material increase, it
will no longer be possible to purify
the water except at prohibitive
cost.
Comfortable
Fortunately, many of the factors
responsible for stream pollution are
comfortable, tending to make an
otherwise had situation more hope
Iful. The object of these articles is
to point out the need for serious
consideration of a problem of stead
lily increasing Importance, a problem
which the public health service has
for years studied in great detail.
AT LllF pl CiStlil Illllt, Inc GLpiCCI vi
stream pollution is engaging the
studious attention of many scien-
lists. These workers are seeking
diligently to reduce the contamina-
ton of natural water courses. So
far. progress in combating the condi-
lions responsible for pollution have
been slow, because many people fail
to realize how the problem affects
them individually.
Pollution Limit
Officers of state and municipal
governments are constantly seeking
accurate information on this subject
so that appropriate action may be
taken. There is limit to the
amount of pollution given body of
water may receive and the water
still be capable of being rendered
safe for domestic use at an expense
which is not prohibitive.
The effects of stream pollution
vary within wide limits. The vol
ume and character of the sewerage
entering the water course are i'm
portant factors in determining the
extent of pollution.
The size, character and use to
which streams are put are likewise
concerned in estimating the effects
of contamination.
Fortunately, the principal evil eff
fects of pollution are now well
known. Were this not true, it would
be more difficult to check it at its
sources.

gone before another judge from
whose decision there was no further
appeal.

Bill took it out of her hand.
Look here, Muriel," he said,

He drained it himself, to the last
sweet creamy drop, while the two
girls watched him with astonished
eyes,
Don't you love his cheek?"
Muriel asked Merry. You'd think
he was my caretaker or something,
wouldn't you? Well, I'll just go

She swayed to her feet and
floated out of the packed room.

She had finished her egg-nog and
she held out the empty glass to

Bill did not help her.
He got up and walked away, and
Muriel. Her little white figure 4

Merry did not see Bill Erskine
again until April of that year.
He telephoned her by long dis
lance, once or twice a week, how
ever. He sent her perfume and
powder that delighted her, and
books that she never opened: He
telegraphed flowers to her every
Sunday morning and wrote to her
every day.

Before Merry had time to think
up an answer, she added wistfully:'

Derrick Jones, who was home for
Easter vacation, so Mons said.

UP at the hall clock and then
