Uncle Roy's Corner
by RAMON COLEMAN.


Not long ago. I made the state
nfent that most persons get their
water from rain which soaks into
the ground. Such water may come
out in springs, or may be drawn
from wells.
Almost all farm families get water
from wells or springs. Thousands
Of villages and some cities depend
on wells for their water supply.
Yet many millions of people drink
water which does not come from
wells or springs. They live in cities
which draw from lakes or large
rivers, or from mountain streams.
We know 1t is not safe thing
for a person to drink from a river
or lake, so the question comes,
How do people in many cities dare
to drink lake water and river
water?"
The answer is that the water is
purified before it reaches the pub
lie. Certain men have the special
duty Of watching the supply and
making sure it is fit to drink.
There are several ways of max
ing vater pure. Usually a city uses
two or more of them.
One method is "sedimentation.
When water is stored in a reser-
voir, the solid particles-or "sedi-
ment"-wil tend to sink to the
bottom. The sediment takes some
germs to the bottom with it. When
the reservoir is open, sunlight is a
help In getting germs out of the
way.
That method alone is not enough
to purify the water. A city which
uses 1t always has one or two other
ways of treatment.
A common practice is to filter
the water. A filter bed containing

vultures are of the New World.
Their family name, Cathartidae, is
from Greek word meaning "clean-
ser" or "scavenger." Their efforts in
making their own livelihood results
In a way to benefit man, since the
nine species live chiefly on decaying
flesh. Vultures range from the
tropics northward to temperate
America.
Black vultures range over western
Texas, Kansas, Illinois, Indiana and
Southeastern Virginia. They police
the Southern States, Mexico, Central
America to Southern South America.
Sometimes they visit Ohio, New
York, Maine, Quebec, New Bruns-
wick and Nova Scotia.
All vultures resemble one another.
They have stout, blunt, hooked bills.
Their talons are dull and slightly
curved. and the feet are ugly and
clumsy, not adapted for seizing,
killing or holding prey--a very diff
ferent type from those OF the eagles,
hawks and owls. The head and
long neck Of the adults are usually
bare, the skin rough and quite often
brightly cclored.' The eyes are con-
spicuous. The plumage and size of
the sexes are identical, and the
birds walk over the ground instead
OF hopping bird fashion. In repose,
their attitude is one of utter in
difference and lack of ambition.
Instead Of constructing a nest, the
vultres seek cavities in rocks, caves.
stumps or hollow trees. The black
vuiture mother has often laid her
one to three greenish-white eggs
under the protection of logs or
bushes. They may be found from
March to May. These eggs are ir-
regularly marked on the larger end
with various shades of brown or
purplish-brown. The young are
naked when Matched, soon acquiring
q coat OF white or tan down. They
are fed by regurgitation.

One Of them carried a terrible gun.
When he saw that Bobby shivered
so he nearly lost his hold. Two of
them carried lanterns to light the
way where the trees were so close
that Mistress Moons light could
not get through. All of them
seemed very happy. They were

was nothing to do but climb a tree,

Killer
Hanged

LONDON, y JUNE 25-lP)-
Gordon Frederick CumminS, 28-
year-o.d Raj cadet stigmatized
as the most notorious killer
since Jack the Ripper, was hang
ed today in WandSworth prison
for the Staying of Mrs. EVELYN
Oatlcy, 81, onc-time actress.
Mrs. Oatley was one of four
women CumminS was accused Of
killing in a series of blackout
murders which teTrorized Lon
donS fashionable west end last
winter.
Two other attempted slayings
also were charged against the
handsome young airman, whose
bland appearance and polished
manner won him the nickname
of The Duke
The jury before which Cum
minis was tried for the murder
Of Mrs. Oatley required only 80
minutes TO convict him. Justice
Sir Cyril Asquith, who passed
sentence of death, described the
crime as "a sadistic sexual MUIR
der of a ghoulish type
Cummins Stoutly maintained
his innocence during the trial, at
which police introduced evidence
to show that his fingerprints
were found on a mirror and a
bloody can opener in the apart
ment where Mrs. Oatley's mutt
,ated body was found.
The airman was first connect
ed with the blaCkout murders
when a gas mask belonging to
him was found near a doorway
in Piccadilly where an unidenti-
fled man had seized Mrs. Greta
Hayward and attempted tc
strangle her.
Prior to the discovery Of this
clue Scotland Yard had been
baffled by the series of murders
which strangely parallel the
crimes committed by the motor,
ious Jack the Ripper in 1888
when eight women were mys-
teriously slain in the East end.
Cummins, whose alleged
crimes so terrified the West enc

Raj superiors as "a very intel
lectual type when put up fol-

of appropriations that won't be
used for months or even years, l
am going TO move TO cut some Of
them down.
Voicing a similar viewpoint,
Senator Taft (R-Ohio) said he
wondered why it was necessary
to roll up the sos, 0OO,O00,O0O in
war appropriations that Congress
will have authorized since July
l, 1910 if it passes the bill, when
the actual outlay for the new fis-
cal year beginning July l is not
expected to exceed S60,000,0O0,-
600.
Conceding that a strong effort
might be made in committee TO
Whittle down the measure, chair
man Thomas (D-Okla) said he
had insisted that Gen. George G.
Marshall, Army Chief Of Staff,
appear before the group person
ally for a general justification
OF the appropriations.
The committee called Lieut..
Gen. H. H. Arnold, Chief Of the
Air Forces, for testimony today
and Thomas said he would be
questioned about the quality as
we'll as the quantity Of American
fighting planes.
Thomas said he had been in
formed that the japanese Zero
fighters encountered by Ameri-
can forces in the Pacific were
among the fastest planes in the
world.
He said the committee also de-
sired before voting on the bill
to delve into the rubber situation
as it affects military needs, and
to learn what effect ship losses
have had on the movement Of
military supplies to all quarters
of the world.
