Curran Higgins Total And POLLUTION OF WATERS MUST BE STOPPED State’s Report of Special Committee Of Staic Board of Health. Hartford, March signed to tions of waters vent their po!lution in the future will be introducsd into the general assembly, says the report of a spe- cial committe: of the state board of health, which hus been making a study of the problems, as authorized by the embly of twn years ago. The report was made public last night. The report, which is #n exhaustive one, covering nearly 150 printea pages, and containing many photo- sraphs and charts, is signed by the committee; Fdward K. Root, Albert W. Phillips, Lewis Sperry, Arthur J. Wolff, Louis J. Pons J. Trederick Jackson, and Joseph Townsend. Improvements Not Impossible, In part, the report says: “Though we cannot say that the condition of the rivers polinted is directly affect- ing the health of any ccmmunity we know that in many instances it is of- fensive to the sense of decency and that it threatens the existence of major fish life which is a source of revenue and 1 means of sustenance to many thousands of citizens of this state. The improvement of these con- ditions is not impossible nor would the expense be excessive if remedial | action is taken in time, the longer it is delayed the grcater the cost will be.” After showing tables concerning samples of water taken from many streams in the state, the report says: “The board concludes that with few exceptions all the streams of the state give evidence of pollution. In the case of large streams like the t.—Legislation de- remedy the present condi- in this state to pre- Con- | necticut, Thames and Housatonic; the flow is so large and the volume is in- creased so greatly by the influx of salt water at each tide, on those por- tions. which are tidal, that the dilu- tion is sufficient, for the present, to take care of the sewage and wastes from the different cities on them, pro- vided the outlets discharge far enough out from the shore to provide quick and adequate mixing and dispersion of the wastes and to permit their being carried away by the tidal cur- rents. . Not True of Most Towns. “Unfortunately, this condition is not true of most towns,” continues the re- port. ‘““The outlets discharge at the banks of the river ' and very often above low water mark, the result be- | ing the formation of banks of foul smelling sludge and solids and ex- creta floating in the surface. Only three of the large cities, Meriden New Britain and Danbury threat their sewage before discharging it into the streams. “Within the next few vears many towns will be obliged to install some ‘ kind of plant and it is very important that the type of such installation \should be passed on by the state | board, in order that the rights of ad- | joining towns and the public at large be protected. * * * The streams which extend beyond the borders the state into Massachusetts all show signs of pollution.” Public’s Rights Suy After discussing the pollution caused by wastes from factories, etc., the report says: “Connecticut is large- i ly a manufacturing state and on ac- count of the excellent water power | available, many of taese industries | are situated on the rivers. These | industries are of great value to the | state and no action restricting them in the legitimate use of the streams to dispose of thein wastes should be * considered when, ]\o\vever. their use | of the stream is Such as to menace public health or offend decency, there should be no hesitation in stop- ping it. The rights of the public | should be supreme at all times. But the mistaken idea that the interests of public health -and manufacturing | industries are diametrically opposed { should be dismissed. It has been | one of the gredtest obstacles in pre- | venting the correction of pollution of our streams. Each needs the as- sistance of the other and they should work hand in hand solving the prob- lem.” In conclusion the board says: “It must be evident that the question of pollution of rivers is a very live one. % * * Even where purification works ! have been installed it is of considera- + ble importance to have the water coming to the filter as free from or- ganic matter as possible, in order not to overload the filter, and make tie cost of purification exceedingly high.” | | | | | | ne. Rumor has it that Alderman D. B. Marwick, who has announced his retirement from active political life, is being considered as a likely candi- date for chairman of the water com= mission. Mr. Marwick states that he knows nothing of the story. e e e “SOAP ON HAIR CAUSES DA NDRUFF, SCALP GETS DRY, HAIR FALLS OUT Girls! Get a 25 cent bottle and try a “Danderine Hair Cleanse.” ¥ After washing your hair with soap always apply a little Danderine to the scalp to invigorate the hair and pre- vent dryness, Better still, use soap as sparingly as possible, and instead have a “Danderine Halir Cleanse.” Just moisten a cloth with Danderiné and draw it carefully through your hair, taking one strand at a time. This will remove dust; dirt and ex- cessive oil. In a few moments you will be amazed, your hair will not only be clean, but it will be wavy, fluffy and abundant, and possess an incomparable softness and lustre. Besides cleansing and beautifying the hair, one application of Danderine dissolves every particle of dandruff; stimulates the scalp, stopping itching and falling hair. Danderine is to the hair what fresh showers of rain and sunshine are to vegetation. It goes right to the roots, invigorates and strengthens them. Its exhilarating and life-producing properties cause the hair to grow long, strong angd beautiful. Men! Laaies! You can surely have lots of cnarming hair. Get a 25 cent bottle of Knowlton's Danderine from any drug store or toilet counter and try it. of [and held Session of 1. under The Sixty complete party Washington, March third congress, first domination of the since 1895, ended today It had democratic at noon. almost been in since President Wilson's in- Beginning the session auguration two years ago. with an extra session called by president April 7, 1913, the has worked actually 637 days. Tmportant Legislation Accomplished. Much important legislation was a complished, but much contemplated, some of it hard pressed 1 the president of the party leaders, was left undone. It is the present in- tention of the president and his ad- visers to give congress a rest. Rather than force an extra session, they would leave the remainder of the ad- ministration’s constructive aspirations to a new congress next winter, which, although under democratic control, will have a greatly reduced majority in the house. Foremost in the enactments of the Sixty-third congress were: The Underwood-Simmons tariff act, Wwith the income tax, which replaced the Payne-Aldrich tariff law. Federal Reserve Act. The Federal Reserve Act, reorgan- izing the currency system Anti-trust laws to supplement the Sherman act, including the Clayton law and Federal Trade Commission act, the former providing for punis ment of individuals who violate busi- ness regulations and the latter estab- ishing a government institution to aid in keeping business within the law. Tolls Exemption Repeal. Repeal of the Panama Canal tolls exemption for American coast-wis shipping. Act directing the building at a cost of $35,000,000 of a government rail- road to the mineral fields of Alaska. Act to regulate cotton exchanges ande« to penalize dealings in purely speculative cotton future sales. Special “War Tax.” A special internal revenue tax, com- monly called the “war tax.” A governmernit war risk insurance bureau to insure American ships against the hazards of war, and an act providing for the transfer of for- eign-owned or built ships to Ameri- can registry. i Other Democatic Measures. Of these enactment or could for lack of time, regarded by paramount. Bill for government purchase charter of transoceanic ships for the establishment of an American mer- chant marine which encountered the most stubborn filibuster in the history of the senate, created an insurgent inovement in the democratic ranks up general legislation for weeks of the last session. Famous Immigration Bill, The immigration bill; including a literacy test for admission of aliens, which passed hoth houses, was vetoed by President Wilson and failed by a narrow margin to repass the house on a motion to overturn the veto. Conservation measures urged by the president to provide a new system for leasing of water power sites and a leasing system to open the mineral resources of the country. Philippine Government Bill, Bill to enlarge the measure of Philippine self-government and to ex- tend promise of ultimate inde- pendence to Filipino people, a mes ure which passed the house and was approved by a senate committee. 5 Regulation by the Interstate Com- merce commission of the issue: railroad securities, originally a part of the administration’s anti-trust pro- gram. Rural Credits Legislation. Rural credits legislation contem- plating the establishment of a system of farm mortgage loan banks, per- 'sistently urged throughout the con- gress. In addition to the foregoing, scores of general legislative bills cov- ering a wide range of subjects died with the end of the congress, among them measures for federal road im- provement, general waterway de- velopment, reorganization of the civil service, to prohibit importation of convict made goods, and several meas- ures for reorganization of the army. Failure of Big Issucs, The last session of the congress s notable, too, for the failure of two great issues, national prohibition and woman suffrage, Proposed con- stitutional amendments precipitated two of the most exciting legislative battles in the history of the house of representatives, both measures fail- ing to receive a necessary two-tairds vote. Foreign relations of the nation were constantly to the fore almost from the beginning of the congress. The Mexican situation requiring close attention from the outset as has the Eufopean war. Throughout the s sion the president and the senate for- eign relations committee were in fre- quent conferences and much was done to restrain unusual demonstrations which might have disturbed interna- tional tranquilit Early in the ses- sfon general arbitration treaties with several great foreign powers were re- newed for five year periods and twenty-six peace commission treaties providing for investigation of inter- national disputes before sort — to arms were negotiated and ratified.

Appropriation Bills Considered. *The closing session of Congres almost wholly devoted to tion bills, the ship purchase bill fight, and a few general measures. Aside fro mappropriations about the anly important legislative enactments in- cluded the cr ion of the Coast Guard by consolidation of the Saving and revenue cutter services; recl ication of grades in the Dip- lomatic and consular service, require- ment of registration of and special taxes upon all dealers, manu- facturers or importers of opium, or its derivatives, and the creation of the Rocky Mountain National Park in Colorado. Much debate on the condition of national defenses enlivened the clos- ling session. Proposals for special vestigation of the preparedness of the fnation for war all failed. House naval and military committees, however, conducted public hearings on the sub- ject in connection with the military isupply bills. Marked by Differences. The congress also was was marked by and some democratic senators over patronage; a spirited contest over con- firmation of nominees for the federal reserve board; two successful filibus- ters—one in the summer session against the rivers and harbors ap- propriation Dbill and the other the fight of republicans and democratic allies against the ship purchase bill; an unsuccessful effort in the senate to establish a cloture rule to limit prolonged debate; institution of a special inquiry into outside exerted against the ship purchase bill; a general lobby investigation extended for many months, and pro- rposal of an injury into campaign contributions. With the fall of the gavel today many senators and congressmen lon national figures passed into private life.

Mr. Wright, in opening the case for the forty-one railroads interested, sai that the carriers in the territory in- volved had been called upon during the last seven 'years to invest more than $100,000,000 a year in additions and betterments, but that there had | been only a slight increase in their | revenues. During these years he | asserted, the roads had not earned | what the cou held be a | ties. The ratio of return upon in- | vestment had been decreasing and | the operating ratio increasing. | Mr. Wright called attention to the | fact that in 1910 the Interstate | Commerce Commission, in denying | advances” at that time, had =said | that if the then fears of the carriers | should be subsequently realized, the | commission “will not hesitate to give | its sanction to increases which will be ! reasonable " These fears, Mr. Wright | said, had been “more than realized.” ; Pertains to All Roads. | The case would not be presented, { he explained, the application of any single road, as the que not depend either upon the prosperity of the strongest road or the needs of the weakest, “but upon the return of the prosperity of all the roads.” Grain, grain products, live stoclk, fresh nfeats and packing house pro- ducts, coal, hay, fruits, vegetables | and cotton piece goods were named by | | senatorial | the attorney as the principal com- | | modities upon which the advance was | sought.
