BATHING HABITS VARY WIDELY IN WORLD’S NATIONS Britisher Dislikes ShowerBig Tubs the Rule Only in America. Bn I'nited I'rcss WASHINGTON, April 15.—Bath* ing is a frolic in America, a duty in England and a sin in some other corners of the world, this year's plumbing report of the Commerco Department indicates. , Bathing is sinful, according to most non-English speaking folks, when it involves cleansing the entire body. It is considered dangerous to health. Not more than 75 years ago a staij New England fit.’ held the same notion. The bathtub, lowly nowadays, but potentially pernicious then, was taxed. And if a man used one without his doctor’s advice, he was violating a city ordinance. Shower Unpopular When the Britisher bathC3 he eschews the shower, favored bathin;; device of the North and Latin American. Rarely, except in the gymnasium, does he use the contraption. He takes bis bathing seriously and believes the tub’s the only plae j to perform ablutions properly. The Commerce Department says that nowadays no less than 5 pc■ cent of the French and Belgian homes have tubs. However, the . Europeans will have none of the American built-in tub. The old iron tub supported by long legs, the type cultured Europe delight in. That is, except for the Norwegians. They demand detachable legs on their tubs. Carry Water Bigger and better tubs, is tli ; American bath cry. Not so the Europeans. When a six footer bathes h > is quite content to hunch up in a five by six foot affair. And apparently he doesn't mind carrying i couple hundred quarts of Lot water for it. Over in China i.e soap and water ablutionist cavorts in an earthenware tub. His cousins in Siam and Java prefer the cistern bath.'Whiit the Japanese, holders of oriental endurance records in bathing, prove their prowess in public baths. And yet American exports of plumbing supplies increased by mo: i than 30 per cent last year. The total was $2,226,000. Uncle Sam’s best customers are Canada, Mexico and Japan. PREDICTS DARK FUTURE FOR LIFE IN RURAL AREAS Investigator Expects Depopulation of Farms and Return to Forests. Bn XEA Service NEW YORK, April 15.—An intens't'v pessimistic picture of tho rural community has been drawn by the New York State Crime Commission. It is one of disillusionment and distrust in the promises of farm life and ends tip in the most disheartening prediction for the farmer —that of fast decay and abandonment oC American rural ar.eas. This drab outlook is foreshaodwed on the strength of an investigation of two countiC% in New Work State and the investigator's report of conditions he found there. "He lias observed a community breakdown,” the report reads, referring to the investigator's experiences, "due largely to a drift toward amusement away from the village, but mainly because the boys and girls as they grow tip move away from the home community. "He was very pessimistic on this point and stated that the rural sections were doomed as the younger people are not building up these communities. "He felt that within the next generation the rural areas would be utterly depopulated. Farms would be abandoned and we would have forests springing up again.” The investigator in these counties found greater social than criminal infractions, such as are prevalent in cities. There was no community force to keep the youngsters interested in their homes, lie learned. So they drove out to dances and more dangerc/us diversions. ' * "The automobile,” says the report, "has greatly complicated special problems connected with sex and liquor.” Veteran Miner Saves 19 Trapped in Pit HENRYETTA, Okla., April 15. While fellow workers and familiei stood at the mouth of the Old Wise mine, fearful they would never com:; out alive, twenty-three mine workers, imprisoned by water in the shaft were led to safety by John Cameron, veteran miner. Thf shaft by which the men entered the mine was flooded with a quick rush of water from an overflowing creek yesterday and the men ran to another shaft to escape drowning. For forty-eight hours fellow workers vainly tried to sink a shaft through the mountain side to save them. Cameron knew the route of an abandoned shaft that connected the Old Wise with the Duncan-McKay mine and led the men to safety.
