not attempting forcible election on the

Chamber of Deputies authorized the
President to declare the national uni
versity an autonomous institution. The
rector of the university resigned.

Listen to Your Old Dad

Uncle Sam has a real fatherly
heart. He wishes his children to
grow up strong and healthy. So he
is repeatedly giving them advice,
based upon his wide experience.
Just now, Gin the good old summer
time," he reminds you of mosqui-
toes-to get rid of them, and of the
"ole swimmin hole" and how much
harm it may do. The Public Health
Service points out that many people
assume that protection is provided
through the supervision of some
proper official or sanitary author
ity. Do a little investigation for
yourself, is the substance of the
advice. The chief danger is pollu-
ton with excreta from the bodies
of other persons. There is an er-
roneous idea that water in stream
will purify itself under all condi-
tions in travelling a certain dis
tance. Many conditions enter into
the safety factor here. The safe
course is to insist upon bacterio-
logical examinations. Swimming
pools are often the source of infec-
tions, and public authorities should
take every precaution to minimize
the dangers.
