Private individuals and corporations have

The city has great. plans for the street. Let
us hope that these include a tree-planting

tent. This Is the familiar device of

II Is a border-line type of legis-
lation and might not satisfy even

Ancient Bathing

We Americans like to think that we in
vented bathing. As matter of fact, there
was plenty Of bathing before Columbus dis
covered American and prepared the way for
modern plumbing and swimming pools. An
areheolosist representing the Field Museum
in Chicago has discovered fine old swim
ming pool built $500 years ago in the an
Gent city of Ksh. which is in the desert of
Irak. Persia.
The pool stood in courtyard of the
royal palace. 1t was IS by As feet, lined
with cemented brick, and had an automatic
water supply admirably engineered There
was no electric pump. but the water, fed
and drained through tile pipes kept itself
fresh and maintained its level.
There were similar pools all around the
Mediterranean during the Roman Empire
period, along with magnificent public baths.
In fact, people seem to have bathed more in
those days than they have ever done since.
The ancient Greeks and Persians before
that. were great bathers. Only they do not
seem to have Dragged about their cold show
ers and punges the way we do, nor to have
gone in so much for fancy plumbing.

Of meeting one Of the Speaker

he tended strictly to his own BUSH

New Haven is bordering on ways and
means of caring for recalcitrant tuberculosis
cases. AT recent meeting of the board of
health of that city it was disclosed that there
are about ten tuberculous patients who will
not submit to treatment at the various state
sanatoria. In the majority of these cases the
individuals have received considerable medl-
cal attention at the expense of the state.
But after having progressed to the point
where they considered their health suffi-
GENTLY advanced to warrant their departure
from the state institutions they simply did
that disregarding the efforts of the authori-
ties to keep them under treatment which. of
course. they still need. There is a state
law which imposes upon the state health
department the duty of caring for reealei-
trant cases recommended to them by local
health officers But the state approprates
only $500 for this purpose and that won't
cover a multitude of cases. If New Haven
has ten sufferers who refuse state aid and
who constitute a menace TO the health of
the communities in which they reside. then
the state will have to do more than merely
appropriate $500 for their care. With Con.
neetieut making such fine progress in check

those suffering from il we cannot afford to

MEETING TROUBLE
CA cute little heart to heart talk
in poetic style)
"A SMILES THE THING"

In this world there's lots of trouble,
of that there is no doubt,
But it doesn't do bit, of good, to
let it knock you out.
Don't think that just because it's
you that trouble comes your
We ways H
For if that attitude you take, you'll
meet it every day.
We may meet troubles often, but
that's when we must try
To meet it with the courage that
will get us safely by.
We all must meet it when it comes,
perhaps it's Natures plan,
To defeat it by the goodness that
lies in the heart Of Man.
The pain that trouble causes shows
we all must suffer pain.
It is Natures way of teaching, and
it seems to be quite plain.
That it's up to human goodness
to devise the proper way
To meet and beat troubles that
assail us every day.
Pain and trouble will move the
~ heart to human sympathy.
They make us feel for others. They
confer high degree,
In that great brotherhood of Man
that seeks upon this earth.
The goal Of human happiness. a
prize Of greater worth
Than all the mighty millions Of
the multi-millionaire,
For it eonquers old man Trouble,
and every sort of care.

Cotton futures rallied slightly in

Heavy hedge sales at New York
