The delegates got an Illustration at luncheon In their goblets. The drink-ing water smelled like the bnckroom of mi apothecary's shop. The engineers said It was not chlorine but trade waste. "At Michigan City," said M. K. Balrd, health commissioner, "we use a minimum of six pounds of chlorine to a million gallons of water, but the Industrial waste from the Calumet re-gion Is stronger In taste and odor than the chlorine. "With extreme care we have kept the community free of typhoid and other Intestinal disturbances. Never-theless we are forced to admit we are serving our citizenry with dilute chlor-inated sewage." CHICAGO, IND. "Let's EAST up the lake," Is the cry of cities and towns near the Illlnols-Indlun- a boundary line whose drinking water ttutes like some-thing piped from medicinal springs. It was fir rt raised at the convocation of the Indiana chapter, Lake Michigan Sanitation congress, held here. Pollution of the water supply at the foot of (lie hike by sewage and b) in-dustrial wastes from the mills and factories of the Calumet region Is a niuchdlscnssod topic. The congress emphasized the Idea that the state boundary lines do not affect the law f gravity. So far as purifying the drinking ivater goes, It held, the whole region Is In the same bout snd has to pull fogetliei. Factory and mill wante Is leaving a noxious heel tap In Lake Michigan, the engineers said. It Affects the water Michigan City Is compiling a $VW,-00- 0 sewer system which will drain three-fourth- s of the city's area, and has In view the establishment of a treatment plant.

Arthur 10. Gormun, chief mnltary engineer of the Chlcugo health department, said the industrial waste was a serious problem. It so Kllutes the water, Mr. Gorman de-clared, that a (liter plant Is necessary, but the trade wastes are so potent that SICK WOOER v ATTENTION!

KEEP YOUR SCALP Clean and Healthy WITH CUTICURA i r 3s TY RAYMOND COBB IS VERY HOPEFUL Manager Declares Young Pitchers Are Going to Cause Teams Trouble. Tyrus ltuymond Cobb, manager of the Tigers, refuses to go Into ecstusles over the chances of his team in the American league race this year, but docs remark thut he hopes to give the league considerable run for Us money. Cobb, who won no little renown as a man who would take almost any kind of a chance when he was playing baseball under another man, has de-veloped Into a cautious cuss when It comes to talking about pennants. "I won't predict that the Tigers will win a pennant," lie said, "but I will gay that I think the Tigers have a chance," and then added with some of his old-tim- speed, "that Is, if we don't run Into a lot of Injuries." Ty harked back through the agonies of the last three years, when Tiger teams, seemingly driving along under considerable momentum, paused with u loud thump because of Injuries here und there. "A teum may look mighty good when it Is going along, and it muy have a lot of good ball players," Cobb said, "but the fact of the mutter is that ex-perience as well us ability must he present when a team is going to win a pennant. Our team Is young. True, they are fighters und as game as they come. Just the same, 1 wouldn't pre-dict too much until they have been seasoned. We'll wait and see what they look like after they get Into some real bard action, and then It will be time to predict something. "We have very few new players. Those we have here will be given ev-ery opportunity to make the grade. "Much attention Is to be given to these young pitchers who served us so well Inst year. Our pitching stutt is no longer to he looked upon witn scorn by other clubs." Cobb reveuled t lint he Is looking for someone to understudy his own aging legs. "I'll be out there pluylng when the bell rings," he said, "but I don't Intend to play through every game every day if I don't feel well up to It. I'm not us vonni; tin T liseil to he. roil know.

Illinois Bank Robbers Must Move On H.L. nankers of SritlNGFIELD. the auspices of associations hnve started a battle to exterminate tmnk robbers, drive them put of the stnte, or Into the penitentiary. With the picture of what Iowa bankers have done before them in cold figures, the Illinois financiers hnve determined Hint Illinois shall soon be as hot a place for bank bandits as Is Iowa, anil the campaign towards that has started. Several thousand rllles and revolv-ers and literally thousmuta of rounds of nmmunltlon will be arriving, d from the government, and every town In which there Is a bank w ill have armed guards on bnnd at all times with a weather eye open for bunk robbers. At the same time a committee of hankers will appear before the legis-lature with a demand for a tightening up of the laws against bank robbery, so thai the robbers who are not killed outright may be sent to the peniten-tiary for long terms of years. . Organizing the Illinois forces will hp Koscoe C. Saunders of Des Moines, Iowa, former chief of police of that city, who organized Iowa's force so edlolently that bank robberies dropped from fifty-si- In one year, with the stnte unorganized, to only three In the next year, with the stnte organized. In the first year the loss to the Iowa bunkers was $210,000. When organized the loss fell to $2,000. In Illinois there were In 1024 seventy-thre- e bank rob-beries and holdups of banks which netted the crooks $32.000. The plan for fighting the robbers Is a simple one. It consists of armed town guards and revised legislation. In Iowa the organization was conv pleted at a cost of $75,000. Out of 1,000 towns 781 were placed undet guard, 3,870 vigilantes were In the or-ganized force, and $110,000 In rewnrds was posted. Purchased from the gov-ernment were 3,740 rifles, revolvers, and suwed-o- shotguns, and 712,000 rounds of nmmunltlon. Iowa's story as told by Mr. Saunders Is a colorful one. The old organized gangs of bandits nnd safecrackers that terrorized the rural districts of the state nnd made their headquarters In Pes Moines are gone. Since Iowa opened Its campaign, sixty-on- e men have been sent to the penltentlnry for a total of 1,263 years; six hnve been killed outright, thirteen have been sen-tenced to life In prison, and only three have been acquitted.

The statue of NEW atop the tower of Square, which Is being sought by many institutions and Individuals as the time for demoli-tion of the Garden approaches, ought to be destroyed, according to Homer Salnt-Gouden- son of Diana's sculp-tor, the late Augustus Saint-Gnuden-who explained his reasons for advo-cating such a course Just before sail-ing for Europe. Mr. Salnt-Gnude- In effect put Diana In the" category with girls In the old song to the effect that "They all look good when they are far awny." "It would be foolish to take Diana down from the tower of Madison Square Gardn and set her up in an altogether different environment," said Mr. Salnt-Gauden- "The figure li 19 feet high ; It Is made of sheets of cop-per riveted together. If It were set up on a low pedestal or building as ! hat been proposed, the statue would be entirely out of proportion to Its en-vironment. It would be far better to destroy the statue of Diana, from an artistic standpoint, than to try to pre-serve It us a relic." Mr. Salnt-Gauden- s explained that the models of the statue of Diana were still available In the Saint-Gnu-de- n museum at Cornish, N. H., nnd that smaller statues could be made from those models which would be far more suitable for preservation thun the huge statue on top of the Garden tower. The cost of placing Diana on the Garden tower was entirely apart from the cost of constructing the Garden, according to Mr. Salnt-Gauden- who said that the late Stanford White, architect of Madison Square Garden, had paid the cost of putting the statue there. Salnt-Gauden- s made the Diana statue at the suggestion of White. May 1 the wreckers lay profane hands on Diana's beauty. Leaning against a news stand at the southwest corner of Madison Square Dexter Fellows, min-ister plenipotentiary of the Greatest Show on Earth, looked up disconso-lately at Diana and said In tearful tones: "It is the Inst time that dainty Diana will ever look down on our astounding aggregation of ponderous, palpitating pachyderms, and It greatly grieves me to bid her good-by- . All circus men grieve." i Divorced i "Is she a relation of yours?" 1 "No. Merely a disconnection." , i Sydney Rulletln. i Jake Schaefer Tried to Lose Bank Shot in Game Young Jake Schaefer did not want the opening, or break, shot in the game against Erich Hagonlacher In which he shattered all tournament records by running out a 400-poi- game from the spot. Hagenlacher returned to New York from Chicago and told a number of friends at the Fourteenth Street academy that be, as well as Schaefer, tried to avoid winning the bank, with the result that both cue balls, after hitting the end rail, stopped In the center of the table. Schaefer won by a fraction of an Inch. He made the opening shot and contin-ued uninterrupted until the end. "Never again," said Hagenlacher, "shall I try to miss the bank. That Inferior piece of strategy probably was the turning point for both of us nnd doubtless had much to do with Schaefer's phenomenal spurt ourlng the remaining games." ONE-BAS- E HITS f K By JACK SIMPSON 00i0t0OKiO0OO000-O00HOH0- Many a bull game bus been lost due directly to the Inability of the losing teum to break up a double steal. The following play bus been tried and found most successful : For example, we will assume that first and third bases ure occupied by base runners. They both take a lead from the bags and the man on first starts down to second on the pitch. The catcher will muke the throw to second to catch him and the man on third will start home as soon as the. catcher lets the ball go. Most often both runners will reach their bases safely, due to hurried throws not be-ing accurate enough. When the play Is put on the short-stop must cover second base to re-ceive the catcher's throw to catch the base runner coming from first base. The second baseman must run in on the diamond about ten feet In front of second base. From this position he can see whether the buse runner on third base has started home. If so, he can Intercept the catcher's throw and relay it bome In plenty of time to catch the runner. But If the man on third base makes no attempt to score the sectlnd baseman must leave the catcher's throw go through to the shortstop, who will play the base run-- ner from first. This piny will require both quick-ness of eye and action on the part of both the second baseman and short-stop, but with a little practice it can be accomplished.

Lawyer Sells $250,000 Stamp Collection Benjamin K. MILWAUKEE. lawyer, has of stamps to the New York public libra-ry. Already the most nearly perfect and complete collection of United states stumps in existence, the value Is placed at $2o0.0on. Mr. Miller has devoted much of his life to gathering stamps produced by the government' nt Washington. The collection consists of forty-seve- n vol-umes, 14 by 17 Inches, each containing fifty pages. The actual cost of the stamps to Mr. Miller was $140,000, but the appreciation of the rare speci-mens has added another $25,000 to the value, and experts estimate the other $8,1,000 represents Mr. Miller's time and energy In developing the col-lection. It Is now In a burglar and fireproof vault and will not be brought out until cases of similar safety can be built to protect the collection while on display. One of the most expensive stamps In the collection Is what philatelists call a "blcolored Invert" 30-ce- used stamp of 18(59, for which Mr. Miller paid $1,7."0. An unused specimen of this stump Is listed In stamp catalogs si S 1.000. but It Is known that a much larger sum would be required to get one of these specimens. Shortly after the close of the Civil War stamp collecting began In n mild sort of a way, and since then It not only has developed Into a hobby, but Into u vast business. In New York alone there Is said to be more than 2.000 dealers and more than 200 ex-perts. It has developed Into a business for the stump dealer nnd a game for the collector. After disposing of his collection to the library, Mr. Miller said he had specialized In United States stamps because It offered an Interesting study. "There are Innumerable stamps to be collected," he said, "anil there are numerous stamps of the United States aside from the postage variety. The revenue department's stamps alone constitute a broad field. "The first stamps used by the United States government, In 1847, were a five and ten-ce- Issue, which were made under contract by bank note companies. Until 1S04 all thf United Stntes stamps were made un-der contract by private corporations. Then the government took over the task snd the Post Office department produced Its own atampa. 1 Plan Lottery Loan g A lottery loan will finance 5 X the 1PJS Olympic games If the q 5 chamber of deputies at The S Hague refuses to vote the ap- - J v propriatlon of 1,000,000 florins g for the games, now before the ty g house, the Dutch Olympic coin- - j? a mission has decided. 5 g The tickets will be put on g S sale In every country which 5 X took part In the Olympic games X 5 at Paris, provldi .
