TIME TO ACT

MASTOIDITIS, sinus infection strepto-

vest Indiana is reaping because its public Of

streams
Arch Steinel Of The Times staff talked to
scores OF physicians about stream pollution
and published their statements yesterday He
found the medical profession unanimous in
agreeing that filthy swimming waters are an
extremely grave menace to health.
There is no excuse for this condition.
Cities have failed to build sewage disposal
plants because they require so few men TO
operate that there is no political patronage
in them. Industries pour poison into our
streams because they refuse to spend few
thousand dollars to be decent neighbors.
Such industries must be treated exactly as
would any individual who kept hogs in resi-
dental district They must be forced to clean
up. Keeping pigs in the city limits is harm
less compared 10 making rivers unfit even
for fishing.
The worst thing about stream pollution IS
that it strikes largely at the health of the
coming generation. It is the young people
who are disabled. often permanently. by this
unnecessary evil
Perhaps your boy likes to swim. Next time
YOU sit up through a long, hot night with
him and watch him in agony from earache
or listen to him hacking with one of those
severe summer colds" ask yourself if some
svinish political boss or ruggedly individual
istic industry may not be responsible for his
condition.
You. Mrs Citizen. do not have to put up
with such tragic abuse. The streams OF In

TARIFF POLITICS?

THERE are disconcerting reports that the
administrators tariff bargaining is being
delayed until after election Politics should
not be permitted to interfere with the use of
one of the New Deals most potent weapons for
recovery.
Politics has been kept at minimum in the
administration of the relief, public works and
agricultural programs. That is one reason why
the country has made advances toward re-
covery.
No less essential to recovery is the pending
effort to recapture foreign markets for Amer
lean farm and factory products. The alter
native is painful contraction in those Amer
lean industries that are keyed to production
far beyond the demands of the home market
Typical examples are the cotton and tobacco
industries which respectively depend upon for
eign markets for the sale of SIS and 20 per cent
of production.
Reciprocity treaties permitting a two-way
flow of trade without injury to local interests
are not impossible to achieve. But they will be
impossible if politics is to have controlling
hand. Every local interest, regardless of how
Insignificant or inefficient or monopolstic it is.
will protest bitterly against any tariff conces-
sion that even might remotely affect it,
We hope the unfortunate is due as admin
istration spokesman say it is, to time neces-
sary for development of a comprehensive pro-
gram. If the tariff trading is to be effective,
it must be a major operation.

Those who love their country

is abundant.

following episode:

SUGGESTS CLOSING OF
RELIGION DEBATE

By r. c. o. NJ
There appeared in The Message
Center some time ago, an article
which brought quite number Of
protests from our beloved christian
churchmen.
The writer of the article has gone
so far over the heads of these pro-
testing churchmen, that he has been
accused of being both an atheist
and an inf1del by the same person.
The use of an ordinary dictionary
would be of great assistance to this
person.
I did not see one word in that
letter which would lead me to be-
lieve that the writer denied the ex-
iStence of a God. AS this question
can not be settled by the combined
armies of the entire world, it surely
can not be settled through the use
of the limited space of a newspaper.
Allow me to suggest that the
question be closed, as it can only
create a hate among ourselves, which
can be avoided.

Capital Capers
BY GEORGE ABELL-

MINISTER CHAPTER KHAN DJALAL of
WI Persia, whose sparkling diamond tie pins
and gay supper parties brighten the summer sea-
son here, just has scored real diplomatic vic
tory.
The thing was done in an extremely able way,
and Washington offcialdom is only now begin
ming to realize how ably.
Briefly, these are the facts:
There is in the Gulf of Persia an island
named Bahrien, whose possession is disputed by
both Great Britain and Tc-Sia Oil reserves
make the island desirable, a fact which has
caused the Standard Oil Company of California
to lease it from the British government CThe
British have claimed Bahrien since ITO, and
maintain their sovereignty there by force of
armed troops)
Minister Djalal recently found a good open
ing for the side of Persia when he learned that
the United States senate was to ratify the 1925
treaty for the prohibition of the arms traffic.
1t was just before the senate, hot and wearied
by hours of ceaSeleSS argument, was about to
adjourn. Every one was anxious to get away.
Senators mopped their brows, consulted railroad
tickets and train schedules. Last-minute legis-
lation was hastily TANNED through. The 1925
treaty ratification came up.
Then Envoy DALAI stepped in.
He induced Senator William H. King of
Utah (who frequently has been wined and dined
at the Persian legation) to insert a reservation
to the effect that nothing in the treaty should
be construed as denying Persian sovereignty in
the Gulf of Persia.
The treaty ratification, thus worded was
quickly passed by a perspifing and Indifferent
senate. Senators don't think twice about small
island named Bahrian which happens to be in
the Gulf of Persia.
This does not mean, of course, that Persia
claim to Bahrien is confirmed by the United
States But it does lend Persia a strong political
Lever for such a claim.
Minister Djalal flashes his diamond pins and
his suppers and smiles quietly There is talk that
the grateful Shaw of Persia may give him a
decoration.

REFUSES TO BE MUCH
PERTURBED BY NUDISM
By H. V. Allison.

BY H. V. Allison.
Mr. Bailey, writing in The Mes
sage Center, expresses regret that
the press and the public take so
little interest in the nudist activi-
ties becoming popular with a certain
class. I believe thinking people like
myself see no cause for alarm and
take the same attitude Will Rogers
takes toward the Hitler govern
ment. He says if you oppose the
government you are asked to COM
nit suicide or face the firing squad.
He says over here We just let them
go on making speeches, and the re-
suits are about the same. I think
this nudism idea is an epidemic
slightly contagious to the narrow
minded. Diagnosed as sex crazy.
and both sides, being about evenly
divided, soon will destroy them
selves
With the nudist idea there seems
to be a misunderstanding about the
spiritual and the material parts of
man. The mind, the spiritual part
of the body, fails to function prop
erly and likely is to destroy the ma
terial. We have gone too far from

AURORA WATER SUPPLY
DECLARED PURE

BY Fred ROache, Aurora, Ind.
I should like to ask that you per-
init me to make clear one point in
your article dealing with river water
at Aurora which your writer did not
make entirely clear. A stranger
reading the article might infer that
water used by the citizens of Aurora
is not good water. This is not rue.
The company which serves water
here properly treats all raw water
from the river before it is distributed
through the mains When, as some
times happens, the B coli count eX-
ceeds 10000, the water is pre-treated
before being delivered into the CO.
agulating and settling basins for
regular treatment. This extra pre-
caution assures pure water for
drinking and all uses. In addition,
we treat the water for taste so that
it is not merely pure but Satisfac-
tory to the taste.
I might say that our local health
officer, DR.. James P. Treon, records
the inspections of the state board of
health, whose analyses regularly are
reported back to us as "Satisfac-
tory" I shall be grateful for space
to make these points about the
water used by Aurora residents.
Editors Note-The Times article
did not mean to infer that
Aurora's drinking water was I'M
safe but did say distinctly that the
water which was pumped from the
Ohio river was unsafe and unSat-
isfactory as a water supply for a
city. The Times pointed out that
Aurora is forced to give the water
extra treatment due to the pOllu-

COMPLAINS OF ACTION
AT HOSIERY MILLS

By Subscriber.
I do not work at either of the
hosiery mills but have friends who
work there. From what I hear the
girls at the National are sure get
ting a bad deal. 1 understood that
every one would be taken back and
treated just as we'll as they were be-
fore they came out. Well, how about
it, Mr.. Barskin? Can't you stand
back of your word? The strikers
have stood by theirs.
If the strikers hadn't intended to
do what was right they wouldn't
have gone back. How about it, you
strikers? I am sure the public is
with you 100 per cent.

In view of your fairness in the

you to please print this.

ed fatally late yesterday in his
parked car. Police said it was sui
eide, just as they did two weeks ago
when the body of John Gorrell, an
other student, was found under SIM
liar circumstances.
Youth Gives Clue
But Sheriff Charles Prices inves-
tigators, considering new evidence.
decided to investigate further to-
day on the possibility that the
youth was slain.
Ten-year-o John PEBBLES, who
with two companions heard the ia
tai shot, told Deputy Glen Larkin
he saw an automobile driven rapid
ly away from Born's car.
Larkin and Peace Justice J. l..
Freeman found beside Born's car
two women's blood stained hand
kerchiefs and a soiled tea towel
which appeared to have been ap-
piled to the youths head.
Born had given information
against Kennamer.
Professor Born refused to believe
his son took his life.
HE couldn't have committed sui
eide" he said. There wasn't any
reason. He was in good spirits when
he left home at noon. He was q
level-headed boy who wouldn't have
done such thing"
The gun used was identified as
one owned by Professor Born.
Ted Bath, "a, another state wit
ness, informed police he was leav-
ing town because he was afraid
"Kennamer's gang" would kill him.
Other state witnesses could not be
reached. Relatives said they did not
know where they were.
