SEWER NEGLECT
HEALTH HAZARD
Needed Repairs Ignored, Is
Charge; Engineer Raps
False Economy.

Henry B. Steeg, city engineer
charging the city is forced to neg
lect its 600-mile sewer system be-
cause of budget cuts, today predicted
residents soon must face an acute
disposal and health problem unless
Federal aid is received.
Year after year Our sewer repair
fund has been whitfield down, until
we actually tried to keep up repairs
on only $4,000" he asserted. This
sort Of false economy and budget
cutting has had the usual results
Today, the S. Harding-st sewer, one
OF the three main drains for the city
is In a dangerous condition"
After a preliminary survey, he
estimated it would take at least
$4,000 to make adequate repairs for
this line. A WPA grant for the
most urgent work has been request
ed, he said
Danger Is Pointed Out
mo word has been received for
months on that project" Mr.. Steeg
said. Unless Federal funds are
received, the city will be forced to
raise large sum for this work"
He pointed out that this sewer
was one Of the large inlets to the
city sewage disposal plant at 1900
s. Harding-st, and II it should back
up, untreated water would be
dumped into White River.
This, Of course, would present a
grave health menace" he declared
$4,000 Held Inadequate
While Mr. Steeg was pleased when
his sewer repair fund was doubled
to $4,000 for next year, he said this
still is inadequate.
"Once you start neglecting sewers
it takes lot Of money to get them
into good shape. Some Of the pipes
are in excellent condition, but in
whole sections there is need of re-
pair work." he added. Unless some
of this work is done, property own
ers may find sewage water backed
up in their Easements from bursteo
pipes"
BY matching $3572 of city money
with $l76,4 28 from WPA, MIR. Steee
hopes to get great deal of sewer
cleaning and repairing done this
fall.
Additional Funds Sought
For the last two months, Federal
workers have been repairing and
cleaning street drains and man.
holes" Mr.. Steeg said. This week
we intend to start them on actua,
sewer cleaning work"
He explained this project was
being paid for on a blanket WPA
grant, and that a separate request
had been filed for the S. Harding
st project.
Federal funds have helped us g
great deal and may get us out Of
this hole" he explained, "but it j.
evident from this experience that il
is poor policy to cut repair funds
below the safety margin in an eff
fort to make small tax reductions.

asked.
Fine"
She got up, and they walked
along the path back to where the
main street of the little town ran
past the park AS they started
down the street Sandy said, sud-
denly, "Oh, by the way - suppose
they know you in the bank here,
don't they? Would you tell them
who I am so I could get check
cashed?"
Know me?" She laughed. 81 hope
they do. Ny daddy's president Of
that bank"
Sandy looked at her blankly, then
grinned. 80 he is" he said. you
did tell me that once, didn't you?
Listen. if you'd rather not, don't
bother. I can make it to this next
point okay. I only wanted to
cash small one"
of course 1 don't mind. Why
should I? Come on"
She took him to the bank.
Through the half-opened door Of
her fathers Office she could see
her father in busy consultation
with some one, SO she led Sandy di-
rectly to the cashiers wicket.
Mr.. Hobart" she said gayly.
This is Mr.. Harkins and he's all
right. He wants some money"
Mr.. Hobart smiled his dry, bank
er's smile and extended a hand
through the wicket. Sandy grinned
in return and gave the hand a
friendly shake.
IF you vouch for him, Jean, I
guess We'll have to let him have
what he wants." said Mr.. Hobart.
IF I'd known that I'd have
asked for more" drawled Sandy,
laying a check on the counter. All
I want is $40"
MIR. HOBART inspected the
1v1 check with that air of re-
served suspicion peculiar to bankers,
glanced briefly at Jean, and handed
Sandy two $40 bills. Sandy took
them and thanked him, and they
stood there indulging in moment
or two Of small talk. While they
talked Sandy lounged against the
counter, glancing idly about the
lobby.
"What've you been doing-put-
ting in burglar alarm?" he asked
casually, noticing the still-visible
traces of the activity of the work.

morning.
"Tear gas" said Mr.. Hobart
proudly. IF 7 should just kick this
button here, you peopled 60 run
ming out of here so fast"
He chuckled. Sandy looked in
terested.
Tear gas, eh?" Re said. "How's
it work?"
They explained it to him, and he
nodded thoughtfully. When they
had finished he said, well, guess
you won't need to worry about this
Jackson gang that's supposed to be
on the prowl around this part of
the country, will you?"
Indeed we won't" said Mr.. Ho-
bart. They'll get an eyeful if they
come in here" And he chuckled
again at his own wit.
Jean saw her fathers caller
leave, and she led Sandy to the
front of the bank, took him into
the Office, and introduced him as a
friend from Dover. They had half
an hours chat in the bankers
Office, and then the two young
persons excused themselves and
walked to the Dunn home; but

bered that this was the afternoon

at the country club, SO there was
no one at home but Ellen, the cook.

just as well. I've really got to be

"Oh, Sandy!" she said, disap-

Fraudulent Lobbying

A charge that lobbying by wire against
Congress h2s beer carried on fraudulent
ly, through the use of names taken from
directories and appended to telegraph
messages without the knowledge or con-
sent of the individuals adds consider
ably to the public interest in the inquiry
now In progress before the Senate in
vestigating committee. According to a
statement by former telegraph company
employe, quantities Of kilograms thus
signed were sent to members of Congress
from Warren, Pa. Suspicion was raised
in the mind of a member as to one OF
these wires and query brought denial
that such message had been sent.
Such practice is, of course, wholly
wrong. 1t is, furthermore, altogether
foolish. For it reacts unfavorably against
the interest prompting the fraudulent
manifestation. Fuller investigation will
perhaps disclose the source of this scheme
to flood Congress with messages. Who
ever started it blundered badly in think
ing that lobby so contrived could pos
sibly be of service to the cause he rep
resented. And there is, furthermore, the
possibility of prosecution for fraud and
technical forgery in the unauthorized
use of names taken at random from
directory and written in on quantity
production messages of protest and per-
suasion.
The right Of the people to petition
Congress is guaranteed by the ConStitu-
ton. The abuse of that right by fraud
through the unauthorized use of genuine
names or the use of fictitious names is
an offense against the public interest as
well as against those whose names are
used without warrant. If the transmit
ting agency participated in this fraud
by tolerance of the use Of names taken
from directories it is equally guilty of
fraud. If it was imposed upon by the
INSCRIPTIONS agent of utility interests it
is entitled to its remedy CT correction.

many private employers have pioneered
in the field of retirement pensions; they
have plans of their own of far higher
standard than the Government require
ments Why, If they have done volun-
tarily what the Government is seeking
to accomplish by legislative coercion, are
they to be charged in advance with seek
ing loopholes by which they may evade
their own requirements? If not ex-
empted, on the other hand, the tendency
will be to pull down the structure of
private pensions to the lower level of the
compulsory Government plan.
There is the practical suggestion,
voiced by some of the best lawyers In
the Senate, that the section of the old
age security legislation most apt to fall
before the attacks in the courts is the
Federal old-age insurance scheme. If
private pension plans are to be pulled
down by a law which may later be
declared unconstitutional, the unneceS-
sary confusion thus caused is obvious.
The Senate should insist on the Clark
amendment.

Mussolini and Peace.

Peace in Africa, according to Premier
Mussolini, is "still possible" He has
mot said" that he is determined on war
with Ethiopia mo matter what happens"
Statements to this effect were made by
II Duce on Tuesday in an interview with
Hans v. Kaltenborn. American editor
and radio commentator, who was per-
mitted to PROFOUND questions on the
lo-Abyssinian controversy and quote
the Fascist chiefs replies
Perhaps Mussolinis most important
observation was his admission that 1talys
East African case" has been rather
badly presented to the world" and in
consequence not been thoroughly un-
derstood" 1t is regrettable that he did
not seize the opportunity which his
American interviewer cannot have failed
to offer him to elucidate Italy's case"
The premier confined himself to mega
tiveS-for example, his assertion that
establishment of a joint Italo-Franco-
British protectorate in AbySsinia is i'm
possible because multilateral protectorateS
are no good" Mussolini thus inferen-
TALLY discloses that nothing but Italian
domination of the Ethiopian realm will
satisfy him. Intentionally or otherwise,
he leaves it to be concluded that Italy
is embarking upon deliberate campaign
of conquest. MuSSolini assured Mr..
Kaltenborn that Italy does not wish to
withdraw from the League of Nations,
and that she might have got on with
Ethiopia if certain European nations had
not worked against u.s." The premier in
dicated that with Italo-French friend
ship established, no more international
pressure to thwart Italian purposes is
to be expected. With Great Britain thus
foiled in the attempt to restrain him
through Geneva, II Duce apparently sees
his path to victory and glory unob-
Structed.
Despite MuSsolini's declaration that
peace is still possible" the Italian press
is discussing war as inevitable" Diplo-
wholly Intellectual to halt hostilities.
Military activities proceed intensively.
Plans are now announced to overwhelm
the Ethiopians with an air force Of six
hundred planes.
Abyssinia on her part is preparing to
face the Italians in such strength as she
can muster. There are said to be 800,-
900 potential warriors in the country,
but general mobilization will be ordered
only as a last resort. Halle SelasSie's
difficulty is munitions, rather than men,
with increasing unlikelihood of his abil-
ity to obtain supplies on any large scale.
1t is sad commentary on twentieth
century civilization that the world stands
by as helplessly as it Gid in July, 1914,
while another war of utterly immeas-
urable consequences makes ready to burst
upon chagrined mankind.

Inviting Confusion.

The chief issue which now divides
House and Senate on the social security
legislation is the Clark amendment,
added in the Senate, which exempts
from the provisions of the Government
old-age insurance plan those private
companies which have set up retire
ment-pension plans of their own of an
equal or higher standard than the Gov
ernment plan.
And it is difficult to understand why
this reasonable amendment, based on
practical, common sense should become
the issue. For the chief arguments
against it are based on the generalized
supposition that the majority of private
employers are at heart rascals who
would seek 70 evade self-assumed re-
sponsibilities, under private pension
plans, by firing their older and more
experienced employees and that the Gov
ernment's pension plan would be thrown
out of actuarial balance by competition
with private plans.
The fact of the matter is that a great

getic young Ohioan, hopes for enact
ment before adjournment of Congress
of the Vandenberg amendment to the
Duffy copyright revision bill, for which
she has been active in Washington on
behalf of the National Council on
Design. Miss Bendelari. who is famed
throughout the international world of
footwear, has a lively professional in
tereSt, based on personal experience, in
legislation to safeguard the property
right in designs. For several years she
operated factory in France, producing
a unique sandal shoe of her own con-
ception that obtained worldwide popu-
larity. Finally her business was wiped
out by ruthless copying, especially in
the United States. Thenceforth she
determined to devote herself to the
problem of making such industrial grand
larceny impossible. So she went to
work to interest Congress in passing a
protective law which would prevent the
products of designers from being imi-
tated in sweatshops and enable men and
women to reap the legitimate rewards
of creative ability. The Vandenberg
amendment would put design copyright
in the Library of Congress.

whether the air space is all in one
section, at the bottom, or in two parts,
one each at top and bottom.
Some who have tried both ways claim
that it makes not the slightest bit of
difference.
The amount Of air space is the same
in either case. Easement windows,
which swing like doors, offer the most
air, theoretically, but actually have the
entire pane acting as a sort Of shield
to cut of air from at least one direction.
1t may be believed that there is much
imagination used in regard to all the
features of warmth and heat.
As long as human beings have
imaginations, they will continue to use
them in regard to the hundred and one
affairs of the daily life.
Just let some one get into his head
the idea that windows lowered from the
top make a room cooler, he will swear
they do, no matter If you prove to him
that there Is not degrees difference.
\
He is cooler in his mind; that is what
counts.
Every one has heard the famous story,
as originally told by a professor of psy-
chology to his classes. of the man who
went to a hotel, but could not raise the
windows.
After he had retired he began to be
breathless. If only he could get that
window upl
He must have air, but recalled that
he could not bulge the stubborn window.
Reaching over the side of his bed he
seized a shoe and heaved it in the
general direction of the pane.
A satisfying tinkle of glass met his
ears
"Ah!" he said, breathing easier at
once
Then he went to sleep and slept the
famous sleep of the just.
The next morning he discovered that
he had struck the wash basin and broken
it to pieces.
The pane was intact, the window as
tightly shut as ever.

Most of us out our way will never

What they do at dawn is chime and

Far in the distance sounds a gurgle,

music. Surely it is Nature singing
