Cases of colds and bronchitis eX-
ceeded in numbers other diseases and
Illnesses which were reported, averag-
ing 4IS.s cases yearly for each 1000
inhabitants. The average for in
fuenza and grippe was next highest,
with 1892 cases.
Annual averages for other illnesses
reported for each 1000 persons were

CAN FISH HEAR?

This question is disputed.
Popularity it is supposed that fish
can hear ana fishermen usually in
sist that it is necessary to keep
quiet while fishing. Scientists, how
ever, are inclined to believe that
fish have very little, if any, seuse
of hearing. Tney are equipped with
no outer ear whatever. 1t Is sup
posed tht the inner ear is merely
an organ of equilibrium Inyesti-
cations have given conflicting
results, some indicating that fish
are wholly deaf. One thing is GER
tain, if fish can hear at all it
amounts to little more than detect
ing disturbances in the water. They
certainly could not hear human
voice. Fish do, however have a
keen sense of sight. (Pathfinder-)

progress of which seriously hampered by the stationary
cars lined up along the way. TO this difficulty yar

the parking of for than brief periods has been
prohibited.
That some. provision must be made for the accom-
mediation Of idle passenger vehicles has long been
recognized but except 10 very limited extent this has not
been done by public private enterprise Various plans
for central parking spaces have been considered but the

PIANIST FIGHTS
TO Save TREE
Officials of Wildwood Crest,
Say Roots Of Willow Block
Sewer and Want il
Cut Down
SHE QUOTES EXPERTS

A court battle looms over the
oldest willow tree in Southern New
Jersey, which officials of Wildwood
Crest demand shall be chopped
down because its roots have extend
ed downward below sea level to
block a sewer.
The tree, however, is one Of the
proud possessions of Mrs. Mary
Hallock Greenewalt, Philadelphia
pianist and inventor of a color
music organ on whose estate 1t
stands. Mrs. Greenewalt, aroused
by the demands of the town offic-
ials, has called off trip to Europe,
employed counsel and announced
her intentions to use every legal
means to prevent destruction of
the landmark.
Mrs. Greenwalt denies that the
willows roots extend below sea-
level, saying forestry experts in
Washington have advised her that
the growth of roots is stopped by
sea water.
Il have no wish to antagonize
the officials Of Wildwood Crest"
Mrs. Greenewalt declared, "but
shall use every legal means to
save my willow from the woods
mans axe. 1t would appear that if
the roots extended into the water
it would mean the certain death
of the tree. / can recall that befOre
bulkheads were built at Wildwood
Crest a great flood of sea water
killed virtually all trees and yegeta-
ton.
Mrs. Greenewalt indicated that
she would carry her fight to the
Supreme Court if necessary. She
is widely known for her research
work in the use of colors in in
terpret rhythm and poetry. She also
has experimental with the trans
mission of color music by wireless
