Blessed is the country boy born
near an old swimming pool fed by
the waters Of an uncontaminated
stream City boys are far less
fortunate. They must do their
swimming in waters filled with
sewage and germs OF disease.
I am led 10 these observations
by reason of an article ! saw In
the newspaper. Il was an inter-
view with the director Of health
education OF New York City's de-
partmnet Of health. He was be-
moaoning the fact that the harbor
waters about New York are badly
polluted.
Each year. with the advent Of
bathing he said. come new cases
troubles, and worst OF all. new ty-
phoid fever cases. almostandend
phoid fever cases. Since 1922 and
up to the close Of 1928. almost 500
cases OF typhoid in this city were
traced TO bathing beaches. beaches
prescribed by the department. in
which bathers ignored our warn
ing"
It is too bad that 50 little atten-
ton Is given by many persons to
the dangers OF contaminated wa
ters. Not only are they willing to
battle in these waters, but travellers
into the country frequently drink
from springs and streams without
knowing anything about the purity
Of the water. In this connection I
quote again from the newspaper
article about disease in New York
City. And of the 3.44S other ty-
phoid cases. the infection of which
vas not traceable, there Is little
doubt that many OF them came
from bathing in polluted waters"
With the beginning OF the bath
Ing season / hope everybody will
give heed to the Importance OF Sc
lecting safe places for swimming.
IT Is a dangerous thing to lump
into an unknown and UNEMPLOYED
pool. There may be treacherous
depths. snags Of trees or sub
merged rocks. Unless counsel can
be taken Of somebody familiar with
this proposed bathing pool. IL
should be carefully explored before
any dives are taken into the water.
But far more dangerous than the
Things ! have just mentioned. are
the possibilities Of the presence of
germs in the water. To get them
into your system may bring severe
illness and ever death.
/ am glad that many states and
municipalities have passed laws
prohibiting the reckless contain
ination Of the water supplies. The
other day I saw a man almost
frothing from anger because he
was not permitted 10 establish a
hazardous industry on the bank Of
a noble stream. the waters OF
which were used for drinking ptIr-
poses by a nearby city. Il was a
wise law that prevented such an
action.

sirable from the Standpoint of
health. But I beg OF you not 10

AZ 1 IEEEERSON EaRIE0N
By Ripley


his had was not entirely due TO
himself. The ground beneath him
was shaking. too.
"Lummyl" ne said. solemnly.
He stared at the stone kitchen
floor. What was going on below
there? And. as he stared. listening
for sounds. he suddenly heard them,
The sounds were not below him,
however. They were above him.
He felt something like a sandwich.
A sandwich composed Of horror. WITH
little Brown between. Below him
doomed the waves. or the ghostly
echoes OF a mine disaster, or-hcr-
rible concepticnl-hairy creatures
working their way upwards from the
earth's interior. Above him, some
thing slithered. Then a sudden
crash of thunder. following a blind
ing glare. sent the cup Of tea untast-
ed TO the ground. and Brown very
nearly with it. His tea party was
not proving a great success.
Steady, man-steady!" gasped
Brown.
The rain seemed to be falling fast
er than ever now. The light outside
was brooding. almost opaque. An
other moment OF livid brilliance-
another deafening salvo from the
heavens. Brown took a deep breath,
and decided that he must get used
to it. He must just wait till 1t
stopped.
No, but could he wait? Into the
confusion of his mind grew a sud-
den necessity. What was 1t? Some
thing that couldn't wait-something
that couldn't wait What was IL?
Yes, OF course. The noise above,
He could not delve into the bowels
Of the earth. He could not call upon
the heavens to cease their din. But
he could mount a curving staircase
he could try and find out the cause
of that slithering sound on the floor
above.
Mice sort Of fellow you arel" he
muttered TO himself. "A lot of help
! Come onl Get to It'll
His mind cleared a little. He hoped
he was getting his second wind. He
crepted out OF the kitchen. through
the small passage that connected II
with the back OF the lounge hall, and
into the lounge hall. Staring round
he half expected TO meet the eyes ot
| Simon Brill again. But the lounge
hall was empty. No one vas there
or at the window.
At least . A.. had there been any
body at the window? The light wa.
elusive; played tricks. For a mo-
ment he almost thought something
had moved there and. with a sudden
surge OF angry recklessness. he rar
to the window and stared out. re
stared through "A mist or rushing
moisture. Everything seemed to bt
moving through 1t. Yes, but over
there-over to the right.
Someone's bobbed into thai
she'd" chartered Brown. Hes there
nowl"
All right Let him be there
Brown turned away from the win
dow, and walked unsteadily toward.

Washington Letter

May s-One cant pass through
statuary hall in the capitol building now without
stopping for a moment to inspect the new marble
statue Just unveiled.
II q the one OF former Senator Robert NJ La FOL
lette Of wisconsin.
10 Davidson fashioned this striking likeness OF
"F,ehtinr Bob He regards it as his greatest piece
of work. Certainly this long personal friend Of the
late Wisconsin senator has caught the spirit OF the
man.
La Toilette Is shown in his most characteristic pose.
in his chair. both hands gripping the arms,
he seems ready TO spring TO the floor of the senate to
engage in debate.
A glance at the face and 1t is easy to understand
how he shattered all records by speaking 10 hours and
20 minutes during a filibuster in the upper house.
sSs
~YTH CHANGE
Much was said about the life and achievements Of
the great progressive by those who came here to be
present at the unwilling Of the statue. We were par
ticularly interested in the story told by his son Phillip
of an event that occurred some IL years ago.
I'VE we're sitting in my fathers office in the base
ment Of the capitol" said young La Toilette. Gath
cred about him was a small group OF his friends. The
rage and hatred Of the press and others we're stirring
to fever heat the passions Of men in a time Of war.
His friends were urging him to silence. He listen
ed to their pleas and then turned to the group and
said:
1.-The children may live to see the day when SEN
timent will change toward me and what I am about
to do. I never SHALL"
Then" said the son, "he walked out Of that room
to the floor Of the senate and took a position from
which he never wavered and which brought down
upon him the attacks which are now history"
POWER TO SWAY THEM
Charles H. Crownhart. justice Of the Wisconsin SUI
preme court, told us of the great power La Toilette
had over the common people.
In one of his campaigns for governor of Wisconsin
ne spoke at Superior. He had been preceded by a for
mer United States senator Of the state who opposed
him. AT the conclusion Of his opponents speech the
crowd was with him. Every thrust at La Toilette had
been cheered with great enthusiasm. La Follette's
followers were downcast.
Then Fighting Bob mounted the stand. And
Justice Crownhart says that for three hours he held
that meeting under perfect attention. and when 1t was
dismissed the people left silently as though a bene-
diction had just been said by their pastor.
A distinguished western senator once approached
La Toilette and said:
Bob, you never compromise; therefore. YOU never
win"
And La Toilette replied:
Bill. you always compromise. thereby DELAYING for
years-for centuries. perhaps-the ultimate victory"
