THE FINAL PROOF By Thornton W. Burgess A proven fact none can deny: 'Tis wasted effort e'en to try. —Farmer Brown's Boy. Farmer Brown's Boy was trying to sonvince a neighbor whese chickens had been stolen by a Fox that the hief was neither Reddy Fox nor Mrs. Reddy, whe lived up in the Old4 Pasture. He had shown that Mrs. Reddy could not be the guilty one, because her footprints in the snow were much smaller than those of the thief. To this the neighbor agreed. He then tried to show that Reddy Fox could not have been the thief, | because the trail of the latter, while It led up to the Old Pasture, did not 80 near Reddy's home, but crossed the Old Pasture, and therefore must have been made by a strange Fox. But Farmer Brown's Boy could see | that the owner of the chickens w not wholly convinced. “It may b said he, “that Reddy Fox has an- other den.” Farmer Brown's Boy ook his head. “Nothing of the kind,” said he. “I ean show you the footprints of Reddy In and out of his old home up there. He is still living there. Furthermore, if you will come up with me, T can absolutely prove to you that Reddy Fox has had noth- Ing to do with the stealing of your chickens. It has been done by an- | other Fox, a strange Fox.” | “I haven't time now.” said the “They should have, and they do have,” sald Farmer Brown's Boy Copyright, 1929, by T. W.

MORRIS FISHBEIN Editor Journal of the American Medical Association and of Hygela, the Health Magazine So many citics and institutiens now use liquid chlorine/and calcium hypochlorite for disinfection of water supplies that the process would not seem to require any further defense before the public. Only a few institutions still use ozone and ultraviolet rays for this purpose. Strange superstitions arise, however, which need to be contra- dicted; for example, the assertion of a physician in Columbia that the use of chlorinated water would cause sterility and a decrease in the bhirth rate, and the assertion by Sther peo- ple that chlorination of water might produce changes in the kidneys or ulcers of the stomach. The actual facts of the matter are that there is not the slighest evidence to support the contention that the amount of chlorine in the water after the chlorination process is suf. ficlent to be of the slightest harm to any ene, On the other hand, the installation of chlorination spreads apace. The first practical apparatus, as pointed out by George. C, Bunker, was made in 1913. In 1926, four billien gallons of chlorinated water a day were be. ing used in 3,200 American com- munities. 5 About 70 per cent of the popula- tlon of the United States is today drinking water that has been disin- fected with chlorine. Furthermore, the method hag been adepted as the one of choice for swimming pool dis- infection, for the disinfection of water mains, and for the treatment of water used by travelers. Various methods arc now being studied with a view to finding those that are cheapest and most eficient, and new types of chiorinators are be- ing developed, the most recent type heing an electrolytic device which permits the utilization of commen salt for the: development of the chlorine and avelds the use of tanks of pure chlorine gas. 5 ONE-SID] Early spring mithnery disnlays & penchant for wide or irregular sides.

Once hers, however, one wonders what brief could be held for anything but lasiness. It really is superb baking en hot sands un- der burning sunlight—especially f you have just escaped the frigid weather. As usual, Palm Beach i fas- cioating. So many stunning wo- men coming and going, the regu. lar program of swimming, tennis, golf, lounging for mernings and then formality ecreeping into things until nons but the loveliest costumes seem good emough for Palm Beachers always prefer pastel tones for their togs, reslly. This year plenty of them stray from the pastel path. The scene is dotted with prints, checks, nev. elty patterned cestumes. Yet no one could look swester or smarter than Mrs. Lewis A. Cot- fin, Jr., did when I met her in 8 pink and white knitted outfit, pleated pink skirt banded in white, white swester banded in pink, white sandals, gloves and ‘weoly little angora heret of pink. Mrs. H. Erwin Schur, out alr- fng her little Scotty, wore a singu- larly stunning outfit, white tussar silk frock topped by scarlet alip- over sweater, scarlet . turban and fancy scarf. Mra George Sloans is another advocate of whits, She has several charming off-white ports frocks and softens them by off-white hats of wide brim, which are vastly sensible in thig glare and vastly becoming to he¥ aris. tocratic features. Novel Cuffs Tricky fullness, unique mneck and sleeve treatment and slightly longer length are the features of most of the frocks I've noted. Mrs. Vincent Hubbell, for instance, strolled into the Breakers Casine in & white Rodies cloth freck with its uncollared tight neckline fastened with a couple of hand. etched gold buttons, ita mdeves flaring at about cuff ength and down around her wrists two little tight cuffs, entirely separate frem the sleave save at the inside seam, fastened with similar buttens. Skysoraper Pleats Alice Doubleday has a white crepe frock with French box pleats set onto a fitted yoke In set-back design just Ilike a sky- scraper, with the peak forming & pointed pocket on the left hip. Snappy? Well, T should say se. Fdna Hastings ~topped a flaming red and white checked frock with a stunning ite coat with on inch ermine handing outlining the collar, cuffs, the front closing and one neat pocket. The two-color outfits and brown or yellow and white are excellent here. Mrs. Halpin 8mith took an early morning stroll ina nifty orange and off-white two-plece knitted frock, with a ballibuntl helmet in the off-white. Short Sleeves and Gloves Prints are loud and lusclous. Mrs. Edgar Sclwyn has innumer- able pajama suits in floral and printed designs. One has half of Paris in its coral, green, blue and lavender printed figure. For some- thing new I suggest the pajama suit of hand.blocked silk Mrs. Frederick Tanner sponsors, It is chartreuse, orange, black and & medium strong blue. The trousers are figured, the body of the long coat black and blue and the sleeves fancy. Som-othing new In introduced brown, beige in yellow prints was oy Phoebe ILee, a and white printed silk frock topped by a velveteen brown coat, lined with the print, with a huge collar of ‘the print showing. 8leeveless frocks with ghort gloves are snappy. Mrs. Theodors Sheaffer, of Philadelphia, wi [ chic sleeveless rose crepe frock with short white gloves. Her mushroom hat was of woven straw in pink and white and her shoes were rose and white, too, with rose polka dots on the white, SATIN BINDING A new navy blue twill suit with double-breasted short jacket and side pleated skirt has all its edges bound in black satin. RURBBER BANDING A green felt crepe blouse has its lower edge gathered on an elastic banding what can be worn outside the skirt or tucked inside, e Only with the beginning of the 17th century was there recognised the need for a dictionary which should help Englishmen to a better knowledge of their language.
