SANITATION AND SOIL
FERTILIZATION

A correspondent asks whether
drainage from septic tanks into a
garden near by pollutes the soil and
makes 1t unsafe to eat vegetables
grown in the garden.
The answer is no, with unimportant
exceptions.
There Is practically no good EVIL
dence that such contamination Of soil
is source of any known intestinal
infection such as typhoid fever,
dysentery, cholera. The soil naturally
digests and purifies such organic mat
ter, at least the soil close to the sur
face.
Carcasses or other animal or veg
etable matter buried or worked into
the soil within q foot or two Of the
surface quickly undergo decomposi-
ton, which IS a bacterial process that
Utilities oxygen from the air, and dis
ease germs present In the matter SO
added to the soil are soon destroyed
or rendered incapable Of producing
disease. But If such organic matter
be buried several feet deep, especially
in clay or sand, 1t may resist decom-
position for many years. The bacteria
of the soil must have oxygen and
hence they thrive only In the top
soil.
Intestinal parasites, especially hook
worm, round worm, tape worm, or
rather their eggs, do survive in pol
luted soil, and in the instance OF
hookworm the eggs develop into larvae
in the soil, and We know that persons
who go barefoot where the soil Is pol
luted with hookworm may contract
dew itch" or "toe ITCH" which is the
skin irritation caused by penetration
by the hookworm larvae, and a little
later the parasites entering the body
in that way lodge in the duodenum
and the host develops the Characters
tic anemia and mo account" languor
of hookworm disease.
But even these parasitic infesta-
tons are quite effectually guarded
against by ordinary washing of veg
etables or fruits which are to be eaten
raw, and of course all risk of infection
via contamination Of such produce by
polluted soil is obviated by ordinary
cooking.
A leaky cesspool or broken drain
which discharges into the soil several
feet below the surface may pollute
the ground water, but the same dis
charge upon or near the surface Is
comparatively harmless in that re-
spect.
Below six feet the soil Is usually
sterile or practically free from germ
life.
The soil of graveyards contains NJ
more bacteria or disease germs thar
does the soil of a garden.
Experiments have proved that it
very difficult or impossible to maxi
known disease germs grow or SURVIVE
in soil. The soil temperature Is to-
low, its oxygen. sunlight and nutritiv
elements are not suitable for diseas
/ germs.

If You Won't Save Lives, Save
Dollars

The high humanitarian purpose of
safety campaigns against accidents is
to reduce the thousands of deaths and
hundreds Of thousands of injuries
each year. In itself, it should awaken
entire communities to action. How
ever, there is another side, too often
overlooked, that appeals to the pock-
etbook and has thrift for it's founda-
ton. While $4,000 persons will be
killed in automobiles this year un-
less the accident rate is reduced, the
loss in dollars that results will be ST.
oo,o0o.O0o.
In illustration, recently it was neces-
sary for casualty companies to in
crease rates for automobile public
liability insurance in several states.
That was because the companies had
suffered very severe underwriting loss
es in those territories. Simultaneous
ly with the announcement of these re-
visions, a leaflet was addressed to the
more than 100000 agents in the states
where the rates had remained where
they were. This was a plain, straight
forward statement of the situation
not only for the information OF the
agents themselves, but for the general
public.
In pointing out that the future of
rates is squarely up to the public, it
said: IF community is willing to
have high accident ratio, if it is
satisfied to have its juries make ex-
cessive awards, If it takes no steps to
stamp out the making of fraudulent
claims, 1t must expect to see these
conditions reflected In the form of
high rates."

too tense. The mind gives out years
before the body. We find old people
all around us who have been dead for
years and don't know it. They don't
think any more-their minds have
died, although their bodies live on"
Then the famous physician explain
ed in detail just what he meant.
Think what has happened to us in
IS years." he said. "Our life, once
largely agrarian, was paced to the
horse. A man could keep up his bust
ness in longhand.
Nov it has speeded up. Tractors
and typewriters-a man had to have
a typewriter, then stenographer,
then a lot of secretaries. And what
happened? In IS years the percent
age of insanity doubled. Men out
lived their minds.
Perhaps man is slowly adjusting
himself to this age, this speed. But
1t is slow process. The tension has
become almost too great.
DR.. Mayo is not the first medical
man to issue this warning. But our
usual custom is to stay about a gen.
Grafton behind our medical advisors
in matters Of this kind and the killing
pace of modern life has not yet really
begun to worry us. We have wander
ed innocently into the midst of a lot
Of whirring flywheels, high-speed
gadgets and rapidly moving assem-
bly, lines, and it has hardly occurred to
us that all of this Is a little more
than we can stand.
The machine age has compel
led us to live our lives under
condition unlike those faced by any
other men in history. Hand in hand
with our efforts to adjust things so
that production and unemploy-
ment may be abolished there must be
a sincere attempt to slow down the
tempo of the individual life.
AS things are now we use ourselves
up at pitiless rate; as DR.. Mayo says,
we die long before we realize it.

Memorial Day

Each recurring Memorial day ought
to impress upon Americans anew not
only an appreciation Of what they
owe the survivors Of the fighting men,
but q determination to avoid If pos
sible In the future every influence cal
culated to lead US into new conflicts.
TO the veterans who risked all for the
flag they love, who struggled with
fate and came forth gloriously tri-
umphant, we pay our respects.
Memorial day may well be dedicated
to thoughts Of peace present and fu-
ture as we'll as to thoughts Of wars
past. It remains for US, as a nation
to make unnecessary the repetition
of such sacrifices as come to every
American mind at this time.

A View Of Hitler
Dorothy Thompson mrs. Sinclair
Lewis is hurrying up to their YER

the most feted returned-traveler in
New York this spring. She comes
straight from Germany.
At luncheon at the Junior League
Club, where Suzanne LaFollette, Anna
O'Hara Mccormick, Evelyn Dewey,
members Of the Foreign Policy Asso-
citation and other importants pelted
her with questions, she only managed
to eat one bite Of chicken patty and
two teaspoonsful Of chocolate ice
cream between replies.
Hitler she describes as the perfect
antithesis Of hard-driying, forceful,
dynamic Mussolini. Hitler's appeal is
feminine, persuasive, sympathetic,
emotional. He has real sex appeal. At
every meeting she attended, the other
leaders shouted to rouse the young
and old to action, harangued them.
Then Hitler would stand up-quiet,
graceful-and q hush would fall on
the crowd. He would lean over, spread
out his arms and say, in persuasive,
wooing, measured tones, II need every
one of you. Each Of you needs each
other. We must all work together"
Then the bands would begin to play
and everybody would go off singing
and marching.

League president, that the
weather is to blame for all this
remarkable early-season pitching
this Spring, the fact remains that
the slab departments of the two
major leagues are doing out
standing work against the chilled
batters.
The latest additions to the list of
April heroes are Leroy Parmelee OF
the New York Giants, who has visited
the major league several times only to
be farmed out each season, and Oral
Hildebrand, something of a veteran.
although he is only in his second sea-
son with the Cleveland Indians. They
hurled pair of one-hit games yester-
day, each barely missing the no-hit
hall of fame.

weather reigned over major league
territory.
The Chicago Pittsburgh National

CARROLL, pitching fine ball in his

ceived some powerful aid from
First Baseman Del Bissonette, who
clouted a homer, double and single,
driving in four runs. Leo Durocher,
generally a weak hitter, backed john

the blow which started the winning
rally in the ninth inning.
In the remaining game on the pro-
gram the Detroit Tigers went II in

their fourth defeat of the season, 6 to
