Tc Step War Profits

Ever since the World War the idea has been advanced that one of the most effective means of preventing war would be to make 1t impossible for anyone to make personal profits out of the eXegencies of war.
 It is notorious that in every war of the past many persons have been profiteers, enrich ing themselves while brave sol diers and sailors serving for a pittance, yielded up their lives or suffered from privations and Su@tained personal losses in de- fense of their country.
 Upon the initiative of the American Legion a joint reso- lution has been passed by Con- gress and signed by the Presi- dent which provides for a com mission to study the problem of taking profits out of war.
 Y The.idea is that if able-bodied citizens must suffer loss and risk their lives in the national defense, capital and industry must also be pressed into serv- ;ce without hope of any profit whatsoever. A man rejected for military service for physic- al defects could not go into 8 munitions plant at $15 to $50 per day, working only eight hours, while his able-bodied brother served in trenches day and night for $50 a month, as happened in the late war.
 It is to be hoped that the new commission authorized by the recent act will be able to evolve a plan whereby these glaring injustices of the past may be abolished for all time.

Why Not a Road at Once?

The increasing importance of the Chickamin section as 9 probable field of mineral pro- duction suggests the need of more adequate means of trans portation into that at present almost inaccessible region.
 A wagon road from the head of the Texas Creek Highway would be an immense factor in the early development and ex- ploitation of the entire upper Chickamin region by giving the miner and prospector cheaper and easier transportation.
 Approximately 212 miles Of road is, we understand, all that would be required to give free access to both the Banded Mountain and uppe, Chickamin sections and would reduce by half the difficulties and costs of transporting SUD- plies, in addition to saving considerable time.
 Now that the forest service has decided to delay construct ion of it's projected pack trail until next year, why would it not be a good plan to ask them not to build a pack trail at all and build a road instead?
 Those who know the dist rict declare that the wide ex- tent of mineralization so far revealed warrants the as- sumption that a road will be sorely needed within two years.
 This being the case, why not go after the road right now, in- stead of waiting for the gov ernment to build first an made quate pack trail and then a road?-
 Would it not be a good plan for the Chamber of Commerce and local mining interests to ask the forest road bureau, whose engineer is right on the ground, to undertake survey this summer for a road from the end of the Texas Highway up onto the glacier, which is so smooth and flat that it can be traversed for miles by auto,

In Chicago

When the Chicago Tribune's star police reporter, Alfred (Jake) Lingle, was shot down and instantly killed by a gun man in a crowded thorough fare recently, that newspaper was joined by other papers of the city in offering a reward of S55, GOO for the apprehension of the slayer. It was consid- cred that Lingle's murder was 3 challenge to the press, be- cause of it's warfare against gangdom. The righteous in dignation felt by the Tribune and other newspapers IS read fly understood.
 But later investigation has revealed a different situation. It has been conclusivefy shown that Lingle had used his po5it- ion as 9 reporter for a repu- table newspaper to cloak his participation in the spells oi gangland. Although his sal ary was only $65 a week, he had made large deposits in cash regularly at a certain bank, had borrowed unusual sums from politicians and sha- dy characters, and had in- dulged in extensive gambling operations connected with the underworld.
 The Tribune has set forth these findings with candor, saying editorially that the in- vestigation would indicate Lingle was killed because he was using the Tribune position to profit from criminal oper- ations. Lingle now takes a diff ferent character, one in which he was unknown to the man. agement of the Tribune when he was alive"
 Chicago is a great city, with perhaps as many estimable people in proportion to it's pop ulation as any other great city. But it's criminal minority has brought an unusual degree of shame upon the whole body of it's citizens. For the sake of the predominant decent element o1 Chicagoans it is to be hoped that soon some strong leader may arise who can redeem the city from the terrorism of gangdom.

TYPHOID MAY BE AVOIDED
BY BOILING WATER USED
Possibility of Contamination Is
Increased By Drought

ITO avoid typhoid fever and other
intestinal diseases, boil your drinking
water unless you are sure that your
water supply is free from contamina-
tion," is the advice of DR.. R. H. Riley,
Director of the State Department of
Health, gives to all who depend upon
private water supplies. He gives the
same advice to campers, mixers, motor
lists and others who are tempted to
quench their thirst at springs or at
streams.
Because of the drought" DR.. Riley
said, "the possibility of contamina-
ton from surface drainage is much
greater than it is during normal sea-
son. Even a long, rainy spell would
not decrease the danger. A heavy
rainfall following such prolonged
drought is likely to wash accumulated
filth into water courses and unpro-
tected water supplies.
Largely from this cause there has
been an increase in typhoid all over
the country. We have had one severe
outbreak in Maryland this season, but
it was due to contaminated milk, not
water. Through the early discovery
of the sources and their correction, the
outbreak was brought under control
and was confined to one section. In
connection with it, all users of milk
from unprotected sources were urged
to boil their milk. And that advice
holds good at any time. 1t is equally
important for drinking water from
questionable sources to be boiled.
Typhoid fever is one of the dis
eases that leaves a trail OF danger to
others. Persons who have maze a good
recovery may continue to discharge
the germs and so be source of infec-
ton to others. We call such persons
"carriers." If they are careless and
not clean in their personal habits, any
food they prepare for others may be-
come contaminated Consequently
such persons cannot be employed with
safety to others as food handlers, in
diaries, packing houses, public eating
places, or in any other occupation
where food is prepared for sale or for
the table. K
"Persons who have had typhoid at
some time-even number of years
ago-may be carriers without know
ing it. The only way by which they
can safeguard others is by cultivating
personal habits of the strictest clean
illness and by always washing their
hands thoroughly before preparing
food for the table.
ave can be protected against ty-
phoid by vaccination. If you have not
been vaccinated against typhoid within
the last year or two, go to your doctor
for the three inoculations that are nee
essary to protect you against the dis
ease. If you can't reach your doctor,
go to the nearest health officer and
have it DONE"

 These lines will connect the more prosperous districts of Manchuria with Korea, and in the opinion of the Japanese railway officials, will show profit at the end of the first year.
 Construction work is due for com pletion within year. Two of the lines will tap agricultural districts and one will have as its main source of revenue the hauling Of mineral ore from Tunghwa to Dali |ren.
