'Die Van Sweringens have asked the Tnlersialo Com merce Commission for approval of their proposed merger of tho Erie and Pere Marquette railroads into the Chespoake & Ohio. ... Jn October, hearings will be held in Milwaukee on the proposed merger of the Great' Northern, Northern Pad ie and Spokane, Portland and Seattle under the Hill interests, which now control the Burlington system. Even before these two great merger applications, there have been tho Loree application for a merger of southwestern roads, tho New York Central application to lease tho Michi gan Central and tho Big Four systems, the Loree application to lease roads that would create a fifth trunk line in the oast. Industrially, there js rumor of a merger of interests be tween the du Pont, United States Steel, and General Motors interests. The Fisher Body corporation, a subsidiary of Gen eral Motors, is buying into Baldwin Locomotive. There are reports that Baldwin Locomotive is seeking control of Lima Locomotive. The so-called "chain store"1 movement has swept the country. : The chain idea has also spread to the amusement field, and moving picture producers, moving picturo distributors, vaudeville circuits, and theater owners are now merging into several big strings which may in time dominate entertain ment. ' . " ' ; ' ' ' . ; : ".! 1 All these 'consolidations-1 proposed rejected and (com pleted show in unmistakable manner that business is feel ing its way towards tho elimination of wastefulness through costly competition. With prosperity at(a ligh level, ljiiblic fear of the trust and tho giant corporation feiir that result ed in the bid dissolution of tli6 'Standard Oil Knd the Interna tional Harvester combines is beginning to fade. Is that Imhislied- fear justified?, i : v 1 ! , The I. C. C. refused several of the railroad merger pro posals on the ground that they were not compatible with pub - he interest. Tho Federal Trade commission has taken a look into the theatre and movie combines, and will investigate the steel-motors-du Pont alliaptq.'

It is, therefore, of I. -treat importance that ull children be given a careful examination be fore entering school to determine whether or not they are disease carriers; t lu school tho spreading of infec- tlon is a serious thing, because it i ziqiq frequently here that infec- tioi: is transferred among ch..Jren of; widely separated households. Before the opening of schools a sample of tho drinking water should be sent to the State Board of Health Laboratory for .analysis. Toilets should be inspected and made sanitary. Such precautions may prevent an outbreak of typhoid fever and prevent many deaths. Teachers, parents and children should realize that when many children are gathered together the danger of measles, scarlet fever. whooping cough, and diphtheria is ! great H is -very important for par lents and teachers to cooperate with the local health officer and the i family physician in trying to dis cover and isolate these .childhood diseases. It is particularly important to do this in every family w hore some child is starting aff to school.
