Acting as Mr. Hydes, they can jeopardize the health not only of those who ride and live in them but of whole communities through which the trailers pass. Here is the picture of Mr. Hyde in a trailer as worried health officers see him: Communicable diseases typhoid fever, smallpox, influenza and all the rest are spread fastest by travel. With thousands of persons traveling constantly, many of whom never traveled before, the spread of disease may be greatly accelerated. Milk and Water Problems. Trailer tourists cannot depend on the milkman or the city water works to supply them with safe milk and drinking water. They must find these for themselves. Penalty for not using a safe supply may be a serious case of typhoid fever or some other ailment that can come from contaminated water or milk. Gravest danger of all is the trailer tourists garbage and other waste. If this Is not properly disposed of, it will scatter disease along the highways and In tourist camps, villages, farms and cities. A recent conference of health officers suggested many ways to meet this danger. Among them was the radical step of requiring health department approval of every trailers sanitary arrangements before a license is issued by the highway authorities. In the end, however, It is up to the trailer tourist to make his trailer a Dr. Jekyll instead of a Mr. Hyde. Specific directions for this can be obtained from any health department. Washington. I have frequently mentioned in these columns the problems that D . Business have confronted Problems and continue t o confront the commerce and industry of the United States. However one may regard the ethics of the business interests of the nation, I think everyone must admit that business has its problems that are just as serious as the job of earning a living is to you or n16- - This has been especially true during the period of the depression and it is equally true at this stage of economic recovery. Business, moreover, is affected to a greater extent than you or me by any governmental policy that is pursued or any legislation that is enacted by congress or by state legislative bodies. In consequence, it seems to be a fair statement to say that business lives by the will and the whim of the elected representatives whether those representatives be local, state or national. Those observations should demonstrate fully the importance of one piece of legislation now pending in congress. I refer to the so called permanent sugar bill. Seldom in history, I believe, has a single unit of industry found itself in a position where it is so utterly dependent upon federal policy for its existence as is the case now with those eighteen or twenty plants that refine about seventy-fiv- e per cent of all the sugar we use on our tables and otherwise In this nation. The situation, succinctly, is that President Roosevelt has recommended to congress that it adopt legislation of a permanent character "to protect the interest of each and assure group concerned, meanwhile that the interest of the consumer shall have due consideration. Pursuant to the Presidents proposal of March 1, last, the house committee on agriculture is working out a piece of legislation which seeks to reconcile the differences of all the various interests and make thereby a permanent policy which this country may follow as regards sugar. It must be remembered that the United States imports something like seventy-eigh- t per cent of all the sugar it consumes. The other he bejaif twenty-twuth.

To show by figures what has happened: Imports of sugar, ready for table use came from Cuba to the amount of about one thousand tons in 1925. In 1933, more than five hundred thousand tons of refined sugar was imported. It has grown some since and for every ton imported, naturally the refining plants of this country have had their volume reduced. two-thir- d The President wants legislation that is fair to all interests but it seems that some Fair to All 0f those interests are desirous of usInterests ing cheap foreign labor in preference to American labor and they are fighting the Presidents bill. It is too early to forecast what is going to happen but there is every evidence that American owned sugar companies in soma of these foreign areas are doing their utmost to kill the legislation which would substantially reduce the importations of this refined sugar. Now there is a question of foreign policy that is involved and that part of the situation in congress concerns the State department. The home Industry, of course, concerns the Department of Agriculture but there i3 the Department of the Interior also to be considered because of the insular territories over which it has supervision. On the surface, it is made to appear that the secretaries of these three executive departments are at loggerheads over what shall be done and as far as I can see none of the three is paying much attention to protection of the refining people who have been caught between the upper and nether millstones. My conversations with members of the house committee who have studied the problem backward and forward convinces me that congress had better for once do its own reasoning and pay less attention to the three cabinet members, each of whom is seeking to push forward the interests of his own department. The whole situation can be summed up in one statement; if congress wants to preserve the sugar refining industry in this country (an industry that is more than two hundred years old) it can do so by providing a low limitation on the amount of refined sugar that can be imported and it can protect the cane and beet growers of the United States by establishing a quota of imports of both raw and refined sugar small enough to permit the home market to absorb the complete output of the American cane and beet growers. I reach that conclusion because I am an American who believes in of American ina dustry as far as it is possible to go. I take the position further because no other leading country in the world fails to protect its home industry in the handling of sugar. Nearly everyone has realized late- ly that prices are climbing at an Prices alarming rate. This has gone on a Pcriod of Climbing over about two years and there is nothing on the horizon to indicate that the top has been reached or that prices are becoming stabilized. You and I feel it, of course, directly in what we pay for the things we buy shoes or clothing, food, furniture, and essentials for the household. The situation is a bit disturbing for several reasons. For one thing, if prices continue to skyrocket, sooner or later we are going to be confronted with another condition like that of 1929 and no one can doubt n that if prices get too high, a will follow.

On the other side of the river I saw the postmaster and his wife, frantically waving to me and shouting Hurry!' could They were shouting at the lop of their voices, but Hube barely hear them, for the booming and rumbling up the river had of suddenly increased to a roar.

He jumped between the horses, unhooked Hube was the traces, and riding Ned and leading Sis, he started to ride for his life. Sis wasnt used to being led by the halter and she held back. "I hated to do it, says Hube, "but I let her go. The river bank ahead was too steep for the horse. .1 had to run him downstream toward the wagon trail. It was a terrible race! The roar of the water was fairly deafening zow. Hubes horse sensed the danger and ran like mad. Hube says he didnt dare look back, but he could hear that water getting closer and closer as they raced on. He was almost to the bank fifteen feet -ten feet away when he felt spray on his check. And then another fear seized him. panic-stricke- Safe in the Sycamore Tree. Ned was doing his best," he says, "but after all, he was just a big, heavy plow horse. The path up the bank was steep, and he could never make the grade at the speed he was going. We were at the foot of the incline when Ned hit the rise with his knees, stumbled and went down. Then, with a last heroic effort, he lurched straight up on his haunches." And that lurch saved Hubes life. As the horse rose in the air, Hube grabbed wildly for support, and as luck would have it he caught a branch of the old sycamore tree hanging over the bank. Says he: "I scurried like a possum for the highest branch just in the nick of time. The avalanche was on us. Old Ned bellowed a high, shrill scream. Then he was crushed under the terrific force of the water. I never saw him, Sis or the wagon again. The postmaster and his wile had turned their backs on the awful scene. When I shouted, they stared at me as if they were seeing a ghost. The muddy water was churning and boiling about my feet, The old sycamore tree was all but covered with It.
