WHY THE POLITICIANS RUN
THE HEALTH DEPARTMENT

The administration of public
health is subject to the whim of
| the political boss in every burg In
Yankeeland from Hickville on the
Hudson to Hot DOG city, Califor-
mia. With every election the poll
| teal gang that wins Immediately
| turns out the incumbents of the
better berths in the health depart
ment and puts deserving workers"
| in their places. Public health is as
solid patronage racket for the
| politicians as is the conduct of our
prisons everywhere in this crooked
| country.
A woman whose husband works
| in a foundry asks whether fumes
| from coke are poisonous At the
| foundry they have used heaters all
| through the plant this past winter,
burning coke and having no pipe
| or fue connection to carry the
fumes out of the work room. Her
husband suffers constantly from
splitting headache, and 80 do many
other workmen employed there.
The woman thinks it Is against the
law, but her husband says no, that
state inspectors are around about
once a month and II 1t was against
the law the inspectors wouldn't al
low 1t.
Naive, the dumb cattle are about
these matters, eh, fellow capital
lists?
Now If the graft ridden town
where this condition exists were
blessed with plain unbeholden
health Understanding after the
fashion of the one who has made
Rochester, N. Y, famous-this
good woman would never have
thought of writing to me about the
| matter. She would have reported
would have had stovepipes on
| order or the owners of the plant
would have found themselves in
| serious trouble.
or course any such heaters, no
| matter what fuel is burned in
them, must have stovepipes to
| carry the products of combustion
out Of the room.
A coke fire, coal fire, a kero-
sene OF oil burner, q gas stove, or
| even a wood fire may give off the
deadly odorless carbon monoxide
gas or fumes IL there Is a closed
or insufficient draft or if there Is
any leak in the stovcpipe or fiuc.
1t takes only small pollution of
the air of shop or room with car
bon monoxide to produce poison
ing, and splitting headache Is one
common sign of mild carbon mon
oxide poisoning.
The reason why the health ad.
ministration is left to the tender
mercics of the politicians is obvi-
Gus. Big business can't be both
cred by lot of fool laws and ordi-
nances which interfere with bust
ness. For instance the manufac-
ture and sale of gas heaters that
have no stovepipe connection and
no provision for this safety factor.
| The people wouldn't buy and use
| SO many of the dangerous contrap-
| tons If the law or ordinance pro-
hibited the pipeless kind. So the

4 father, begins o search for his
SON.
CHAPTER XIX
Sir Aubrey's agent discovered
The name of the ships dottor
on the boat on which Mary Mar
riage gave birth to her son. The
doctor was now on a ship sailing
from Philadelphia for Naples and
Genoa and the ship happened, at
the time, to be lying in the Della
ware. Therefore Sir Aubrey and
Billings. his agent, journeyed to
Philadelphia and to the docks
where, after considerable waiting,
they met the doctor.
He remembered perfectly, he
said, with a wide wave of hands
and a lift of the shoulders. The
girl had been fearfully Ill. He
had done his best, and God was
witness of this. but
"Girl or boy?" Sir Aubrey
put In.
"A boy. A fine boy"
Sir Aubrey drew a deep breath.
For q second his cheeks had
whitened; then they became more
forid than usual.
The ships doctor reminisced
vaguely. The baby had been
adopted by two Cuban or South
American girls. He did not re-
member their names. The captain
might, because he had taken the
responsibility in letting them take
the baby without any legal inter-
ference. The captain had been
troubled by this responsibility, he
thought. No, the doctor could not
remember anything more about
the young ladies who had adopted
the baby, except that they had
much money and they had trav-
eled with an aunt, or cousin.
Billings wrote down the name
of the ships captain. The doctor
did not know where the captain
was now. perhaps with Cod"
he suggested cheerfully.
Alarm flashed in Sir Aubreys
eyes 1--WE will hope for the
best" said Billings heavily.
Pablito woke next morning TO

cries of the vendors ad serpentine
streamers and confetti rose to
them, mived with the grind Of
motor brakes and shrill, excited
voices.
After he had gulped down a
substantial breakfast Beau picked
up the newspaper he had ordered
the waiter to bring Having
glanced casually at the headlines,
he turned a quick, sly look at
Pablito.
1t had been dumb, Beau real
lied, to leave the newspaper
around before he had looked at
1t but the kid had been even
dumber. Beau folded the sheets
with the first page inside, lit p
cigaret, and then - humming-
made his way to his own room.

when he was alone there, reading
of the escape of Pablito Smith,
wanted for the murder of Theo-
dore Jeffries and for the theft of
the famous Jeffries' pearls.
Beau had hoped the newspaper
report would read like this, but
Of course he hadn't been sure.

capped had been found, he read.
Then followed conjecture, built
on the fact that the murderer
might have escaped, leaving the
empty boat as a hoax. Measures
were being taken to cover every
possible avenue - of escape. the
newspaper report concluded.
"Is that so?" Beau questioned
softly. He leaned from win
dow, letting the newspaper blow
far in the wind. Pablito must
not see that newspaper, to be
urged by his conscience into con-
Tossing what he knew of that
night and of the three who had
escaped together. No, Pablito
must not see it, And now Beau
and Lottie were free as the air
and Pablito was more than ever
In Beau's power.

Paris UP)--"Fur for fantasy"
is good rule, according to one
of our big timers here in this bus
mess called Fashion" And what
he meant by 1t, he went on to ex-
plain, was that fur, wisely chosen
and distributed on costume, was
the smartest trimming that could
be used between August and April
There Is nothing quite so
dull as something which always
looks the same," he said. "And
there Is nothing so conducive
to dispelling that dullness as
touches of fur on costume.
Right now fur Is most impor-
tant as capes and capelets. Most of
them are made of fiat, curly furs
of the breichwantz school of skins,
distinctly uplifting when the mo-
rale Is low.
Fox, in all its soft lavishness,
also Is demanded now. Dyed fox,
in the new horizon blue, is used
for an evening cape which goes
with pink dress; string coloreG
fox is worn on pale beige georgette,
and two wide bands of white fox
make q small evening wrap that
is a glory in ITSELF"
From whom are we quoting all
this authoritative information on
the fur situation? NJ. Helm Is the
man, and you can rely upon any
thing he has to say as being i'm
portant. Fur Is his business, and
he has built q thriving establish
