Franks said, 81 doubt if another
county in North Carolina has a
group Of officers the equal or as
highly qualified to hold office as
does Henderson county. The most
frequent, plea one hears to gov
ernment is for economy and ef-
ficiency. That criticism and that
plea we have heard widely in the
past eight years. But in our own
county," he said, "in that period,
we have had u group of admins
trative officers whose devotion to
the affairs of the county has been
that same conscientious attention
to business that they would give
to their own private affairs. You
can't say that about great many
men holdin public office. But
you can say it about our county
officials" Mr.. Franks pointed to
the fact that in two Democratic
administrations the public debt

Then, commenting on the honor

his apartment, tearing the wrap

was one to which he had mailed;
some weeks before, q set OF plc-
lures snapped with his miniature
camera in the Golden Bowl on the
night that Ludden DOmbey was
murdered. Out of a job, and not
vet well acquainted with Myrna,
he had in mind TO sell a few pic
lures and augment an income
whicht. at that moment, had SEEM
ed nebulouS TO say the least.
Now as he tore the wrapper
from the magazine he was startl-
ed TO see a printed ribbon across
the face of the cover, and on this
red strip were black letters proc
laiming: on THE SPOT PIC
TCRES OF THE MURDER OF A
SWING KING.
With nervous fingers, TAFT
turned to the pages. He gazed at
them now with a feeling of bitter
loathing. But it was too late Tor
regret. The ineXorable world ot
printers ink and presses ana
headlines had put those pictures
there-out of reach of regrets;
Almost against his will TAFT gazed
at the three prints reproduced on
the large facing pages OF the
magazine. One was of the Golden
Bowl early in the evening Ludden
Dombey had been murdered. The
"tom Of the swing cats" was on
the platform, very much alive and
in characteristic form. Between
him and the camera were swaylng
figures, the jitterbugs and the ick-
les and the whackies, lost in the
rhythmS woven by The Swinga-
teers. The second picture was a
shot in the Golden Bowl just after
Ludden Dombey had been killed.
II was a picture of confusion, OF
momentary chaos, of men and
women in that awful moment
when tragedy is dawning on their
befuddled minds. The third pic
ture had been snapped few mo-
mentS later-shOwing one mob
rushing toward the exits, and an
other mob, morbidly curious,
pressing its bulk toward the body
of -Ludden Dombey.
Those pictures were, as the

did photography. They were ex-
amples of the alertnesS of mind,
the daring. the athletic. co-ordina-
ton, of your perfect photographer
in the news sense. They were ex-
amples of the reason Robert TAFT
was rated the best modern photo
grapher in seven states and why
more of his photos were Syndicat-
ed in week than were those of
average news photographers in a
month.
But as TAFT looked at them now
they seemed nothing more to him |
than a tangible evidence of his !
betrayal-:his betrayal Of lovely |
Myrna Dombey. He knew, with |
the sure instinct of those who |
work in the world of newsprint,
how effective those photographs
might be against Myrna Dombey.
In sudden self-disgust he flipped
the pages, and then was drawn
back TO them despite himself.

Six I typhoid Fever
 Deaths During 1887
Not Only Traceable, However, to State Water System
 Record of Purity Maintained Since 1911

control of typhoid carriers and milk and food supplies showed its results in low death rate of 0.3 per 100, 900 population - the lowest rate of any of the causes of death reported in the departments provisional sum- mary.
 That Connecticut has pure water and freedom from water-borne dis ease as one of its major assets is a goal achieved by dint of ceaseless effort, as was pointed out not long ago by Warren J. Scott, director of the Bureau of Sanitary Engineering of the State Department of Health: "The public at large little appre- ciates the efforts made to provide continuous and safe supply of water. The official in charge of a public water supply has tremend- ous responsibility which is fact not generally considered. Few worse calamities may beset a community than the depletion or pollution of the public water supply"
 Adequacy Insured
 Water systems not only require long planning and costly construc- tion to insure adequacy of the sup ply, but they require never-relaxed vigilance over the purity of the water. State and local health au- thorities and the homogeneous of the systems cooperate in keeping the water free from pollution. The most chance of pollution with the germs of typhoid fever exists in hu- man wastes from habitations on the watersheds or drainage areas, and for this reason the methods of waste disposal at all such dwellings are inspected at least once a year by state engineers, and the local man. agements and authorities make cer- tain that no sources of water con- tamination develop in the meantime. It is to avoid similar pollution that bathing is banned in reservoirs or streams feeding into them.
 Should such pollution result, however, other means are taken 10 kill dangerous bacteria. Less than two percent of Connecticut's popu- lation served from the public sup ply systems today receives water which has neither been filtered or chlorinated, two sure means of pro- lection. In addition, other means are pursued to safeguard water from contamination after it has reached the customers premises.

 The speaker described American Jews as the richest, fattest Jewry ever known, but remarked that the approximate 4,50o,00O Jews in this country had contributed only $4,- 100000 to the distribution commit tees fund last year. He said that this was only small percentage of the amount required and the resi- due had been contributed by Euro pean Jews from diminishing savings and incomes.
 One-half of the 100000 Jews re- maining in Germany, he declared are more than 45 years old and would not be able to adjust them- selves to a re-colonization program. Propaganda designed to promote the nationalistic movements is be- ing spread against Jews in many sections of the world, the speaker averred.
 He was introduced by Rabbi Moses D. Sheinkopf.

Arrangements of Connecticut's public water supply systems, as well as the health authorities, were proud to take note of the extremely low death rate for typhoid fever achieved in this state last year as revealed in the mortality statistics of the state Department of Health. There were only six deaths from that disease during the year and none of these was due to water from public supply.
 Record Intact
 The water supply systems of Con- necticut thus continued a record for the serving of pure water which s1as stood since 1911, in which year occurred the last death from ty- phoid fever traceable to a public water supply in this state. Not only was this record preserved, but the work of the health authorities in the
