CHICAGO SAFE
IN ITS WATER
WAR TRIUMPH
Little Chance Of Change in
Congress, Says Ohio
Member.
BY KENNETH WATSON

WASHINGTON, Nov. %. = The
possibility of Congress enacting
legislation to upset Cihicago's vic
tory over Great Lakes States in the
long water diversion fight are
meager, according to Representative
Theodore E. Burton of Ohio.
Report was made to the Supreme
Court Wednesday by former Secre-
tary of State Charles Evans Hughes,
holding that the War Department
permit under which Chicago is di-
verting water from Lake Michigan
is valid.
Congress Holds Key
Although admitting that Great
Lakes States established beyond
question that the diversion has
caused substantial damage to their
navigation and commercial inter
ests, Hughes said there is no basis
to the compliments claims that the
War Department and Congress have
no power to issue the permit.
Hughes, who acted as special mas
ter in the various suits brought
against Chicago, held that Congress
has power to regulate the diversion.
1T do not feel like expressing a
definite opinion upon the report I'M
til have had an opportunity to
study it carefully, but at first
thought I am disappointed greatly
by the conclusions" Representative
Burton said today.
Sees Little Chance
Burton said that undoubtedly bills
will be introduced in Congress this
session to reduce the amount of
water now allowed Chicago, but be-
lieves they have little chance for
passage.
If such proves to be the case the
only hope of Great Lakes States for
improved navigation is to wait until
Dec. 81, 1929, when the present per-
nit compels Chicago to reduce the
amount of diversion by 1850 cubic
feet a second.
Even this reduction probably will
have no great beneficial effect. Evil
dence introduced in hearings before
Hughes showed that the lake levels
have been reduced about six inches.

ant-children like it, and it is pure
and good.
Pour 215 ounces of Pinex in a pint
bottle; then fll'it up with plain granu-
lated sugar syrup. Or use clarified
honey, instead of sugar syrup. Thus
you make a full pint-a family sup
ply--but costing no more than small

hoarseness and bronchial asthma.
Pinex is a highly concentrated com-
pound of Norway pine extract and

The clay tablets on which the
boys and girls of that ancient class

tribe of Semitic nonads had de-

For centuries they spent their en-

non-Semitic people who dwelt along

Sea.
From these enemies they learned
the art of forging the iron OF those

T. B. WORK is PRAISED
Marion County Death Rate Cut in
Half Since 1914.

Control over the menace Of tuber-
culosis in Marion County gradually
is being acquired by the Marion
County tuberculosis Association
and kindred organizations, said
Michael E. Foley, association direc-
tor, addressing the first annual
Thanksgiving meeting at Sunnyside
Sanatorium Sunday.
He declared the county associ-
alton has assisted in reducing the
tuberculosis death rate from 224 per
100000 population in 1914 to LOG per
100000 in 1925. He made strong
appeal for the purchase Of Red
Cross Christmas seals from which
anti tuberculosis work in the county
will be financed In 1929.
