WATER AND PUBLIC PROPERTY

New York state joins Michigan and other states of
the Great Lake group which invoking the federal
courts to stop Chicagos diversion Of water from Lake
Michigan for her drainage canal. The suit is brought
in Michigan's against the Chicago sanitary dis
trict.
The contention is that the water of the Great Lakes
is public property, belonging in common to all the
states and provinces bordering them and that CHI
cago by dverting 10000 cubic feet of water second
and turning il artifcaly into the Mississippi BASIN IS
seriously lowering the lake levels and doing great DAM
age to navigation and real estate. The legal repre-
sentative of New York state estimates that levels have
thus been unnaturally lowered nine to 10 inches on the
St Lawrence river and Lake Ontario, and that the loss
shipping alone amounts S500000 year for every
inch. States the upper lakes have charged still
more damage.
Thus Chicago is being subjected TO more and more
pressure of criticism from the big group of states and
Canadian provinces directly affected and also from
states touching the lakes but interested IN inland
navigation for the cheap transportation of their prod
ucts The question gains interest right along, because
involves principle which applies to every section OF
the country. The American people are attaching

a fate has seemed menacng since the notable d.
mnution in the number Of birds which formerly kept
insects under better control.
Encouraging the multiplication of birds Is obvious
help in this everlasting warfare against destructive IN
sects and much progress is being made IN that dl-
recton. But perhaps the ingenious use of insects to
kill off each other offers still greater possibilities.
One of the latest of this strategy is IN the pro-
