themselves, which can not be chang-
ed by popular vote or a majority of
a state legislature or congress, but
only by a vote of at least. thrfee-foUrth

the constitution, it behooves us to sup
port it loyally and to defend it again-

every citizen, high or low, absolute

long as he does nothing, which inter-

of the story, for "interest in the July
Fourth races at Abilene has gone out

noted drivers are getting in entry

' 'SWIMMING DANGERS ''' "
• ■ : '
. _—_
v In the good old days when sanita-
tation was little heard of, no one ever
feared the refreshing water of the old
swimming hole.
But the present is different. Con-
tamination may lurk in streams and
-small rivers, especially following a
long'drouth, when there has been no
rainfall to flush the ^streams—and
cleanse the water.
Due to the lack of -rain that has
been general over the country, rivers
are lower now than they have been
for years, even during August when
they reach the lowest level. This
should be warning enough to those
who are tempted to venture into the
water for ,a cooling swim.
There are few streams that are not
contaminated with sewerage which".is
not readily carried off when the wat-
er- is sluggish;' And it is in this that
the danger lies. If they do not re-;
ceiu£ sewage, there are other ways
which disease germs, such "as"' ty-
phoid, may be developed " when the
stream is not swift moving and clean's'
ing itself. '
Parents will do well to persuade
1 their children to remain out of the
rivers' xind small streams until con-
