Students OF ).
Biology Will ;
Study Sewers

Advanced biology students of
Key West high school are plan
ming a field trip to study the local
sewer system. Already the stu
dents have seen special movies,
have heard reports and have
made individual investigation.
At the treatment plant, w. G..
Tins will explain the processes
that 60 on there.
The students have LEARNED that
sanitary sewers, by replacing out
door privies, have done more to
prevent disease than any other
single factor Public health doc
tors are quick to point out that
the sewer stops diseases before
they start, while most doctors are
kept busy with the diseases we
already have, the students have
learned.
The local sewer plant is
unique in the United States in
having employed a deep sea
diver TO explore !. the, lower
workings of the plant, when
trouble developed. Ancther ia.
usual feature of the Key West
treatment plant is that the
sewage it receives is just three
times as much as it was built
to handle. And only $3.50 of
the houses near sewer pipes are
connected to them.
The students have also learned
that outdoor toilets are outlawed
in most modern communities be-
caus eof the health hazard, as
we'll as for esthetic reasons. They
will have to be tolerated in Key
West until more treatment plants
can be built.
Tins, a well-knoWn sanitary
engineer, came to Key West in
JUNE of 194B. He has worked
constantly since then to minimize
the nuisance from the local
plants. A new treatment worked
out by Tins has been the subject
of publications in engineering
journals. The results are being
watched with keen interest by
other cities with sewage prob
lens. He will use Nuchar,, a
powdered form of activated char
coal, which, when mixed with the
incoming sewage, will absorb
odors, promote settling, and help
the digester mechanism take care
Of the triple overload of sew
age.
People living within smelling
distance" of the aerator are ad-
vised not to paint with lead
paints, since hydrogen sulfide
turns lead black. Hydrogen suli
fide is the ''fotten egg" gas which
makes most of the odor around
sewage.

would have to be.
The key man, from Washington s
viewpoint, is Denham. Under the
law, the transition of NLRB from
an agency which acted as investiga-
tor prosecutor, judge and jury, into
brand new type of federal agency
hinges on the general counsel.
Denham becomes the investigator
and the prosecutor of unfair labor
practices. He will determine whe-
Their to issue complaints against a
company or union, and will do SO
independently of the board. The
board will become, in effect, labor
I court.
%, Known to associates as careful
and conservative, Denham has
been an NLRB trial examiner since
1888, and is chairman of the FEEDER
al Trial Examiners Conference.

Two Functions Divorced
In creating the new job, it was
the deliberate intent of Congress to
divorce the investigative and judi
cial functions of the labor board.
The board itself acquires vastly
wider duties, through its obligation
to hold uniOn-shop elections, hear
cases involving the newly-created
concept of unfair labor practices
by unions, obtain nO-strike injunc-
tions in the case of jurisdictional
disputes and illegal boycotts, settle
jurisdictiOnal question, and assume
the burden of representation cleo
lions. The last are expected to in
crease tremendously under the
Taft-Hartley law, because an en-
ployer may obtain an election if he
wishes to challenge his unions
right to represent his employees.
The board thus becomes fedora
agency of the first magnitude, ant
already has received congressional
approval for the addition of 900 t

FOREIGN WIFE

The boy bobbed his head. How
do you do, sis?" He thrust out
his hand, but as soon as the old
man had shaken it, he pulled it
away and turned to his mother.
Angel has run away" he COM
planned.
Angel is his pet rooster" Che
ping explained. Her hand dropped
to the boys shoulder in a COM
radely gesture. Never mind,
dear. Angel will come home for
his supper"
BERT looked questioningly at
his grandfather. DO you think
he'll come back?" he asked.
"Yes, of course. If your mother
says So"
The boy seemed to ponder, but
at last he accepted this assurance
and shifted his attention to other
matters. Have you seen my
father?"
mot for a long time"
I've never seen him." Bert
said. But put flowers where he
sleeps"
Professor Welles re-lit his cigar
and puffed vigorously. When the
boy spoke he could recognize Rob-
ert; some quality of manner, the
level brow, the set of his chin.
He gave his attention abruptly
to Cheping.
Where is he buried?" he asked.
"In a small plot my father
owned" She paused. The war,
you know. We had to decide
quickly"
YES" he said gruff1y. "Of
course"

chair and fastened her enormous
eyes on him. She was intense, but
her voice remained calm. II sup

things?"
mo" He was able to say it
calmly. And then he went on, his
words dictated by some inner,
hitherto unknown depth of his
mind: isn't there some way I
may help you?"
CHEPING smiled and shook her
head. 1--WE need nothing. have
my work."
What do you do?"
II teach. It's rather difficult
now, but it will be splendid when
the new high school is finished"
WELL" he said, trying to sound
hearty, I'VE have that in common.
What is your subject?"

MY mother teaches me-" Bert
interrupted. ITO read and to
write, but -"
"Yes?" the professor prompted.
What else?"
Il do not quite understand, sir.
But she says it is the only thing
worth learning.
What does your mother call
it,"
The value of human dignity"
Professor Welles got slowly to
his feet. 1t required several min
utes for him to compose his
thoughts, and even then he was
not able wholly to control his
voice. Il should like to see Rob-
ert's grave" he said.
Let's 60 at sundown. Robert
used to say that we had the most
beautiful sunsets in the world,
right at that spot"
He nodded his agreement. "And
then perhaps you and the boy
will have supper with me?"
1--WE would prefer to have you
as our guest"
PROFESSOR WELLES went out into
the midday heat and slowly, with
his mind driving at the core of
problem which had suddenly be-
come an intensely personal one,
walked back to the hotel. In his
room, sitting under the centilador,
he started his letter to Mary:
my dear:
We are grandparents! The boy
is very much like Robert, and
Cheping (he had written Jose
phine in a first draft) is a far bet
ter teacher -"
Here he stopped. A new and
startling thought came to him:
perhaps it was not necessary. to
explain to Mary at all. He was the
one who'd doubted, not she; her
trust in Robert had never faltered.
And she'd forced him to make this
trip, not for her peace of mind, but
his own. She'd sent him half way
round the world to learn his lesson.
Professor Welles leaned over
and unlaced the stiff, uncomfort-
able shoes, which by now were
causing him extreme agony. He
sighed with relief, then plodded
across the room in his stocking
feet to ring the service bell; when
the room boy came, he gave him
some money and sent him across
the street to the bazaar to buy
large-size pair of those cool, sensi-
bic, fat-heeled sandals. The End
