"Since 45 per cent of the irioney needed to replace raw sewer outlets with modern treatment plants can be had as a gift from the federal government for the asking, and the remainder borrowed at 4 per cent from the same source, it is a particularly opportune time to clean up the Rock river as well as all other streams," Jirka said.

"Of the dozen or more municipalities along the Rock river, only one or two has a modern sewage treatment plant "The growing need for recreational grounds, the possibilities of a more congested population, the danger of contaminated streams to communities that draw water supplies therefrom, as well as-to vacationists, anglers and bathers, make imperative the cleaning up of all Illinois waterways." tuberculosis now was dormant, "He i responded well to treatment.

Washington. July 30.

(By the Associated Press) Signs of Republican activity looking to 1936 multiplied today as one prominent party member declared there can be "no compromise" with the new deal and another accused it of seeking to "pervert or subvert the constitution." Calling on Republicans to nom inate an "upstanding conservative" from the middle west for president, Senator Hastings, Republican, Del aware, declared: "There can be no compromise with the new deal. The only way the Republican party can save itself as a party is to stick to well-known American principles." Henry P. Fletcher, national chairman of the party, was the man who raised the constitutional is sue. In a radio speech last night, be invited citizens of all political faiths to "help meet this chal lenge" and said the presidential race would "transcend mere party lines." "The constitutional barriers to 'planned economy' are to be removed," said Fletcher. "Why? Because they stand in the way of a centralized, socialistic state, governed without restraint or limit, by a president and a subservient congress." Recalling that President Roose velt described the constitution a year ago as "resilient," Fletcher said: "Now that it is shown that it can not be stretched to cover the socialistic policies of the new the issue becomes clear.

Either the constitution must give way to the new deal, or the new deal must give way to the constitution." Kuox Predicts Victory. San Francisco. July 30. (By the Associated Press) A Republican president in 1937 was the predic tion left? with California G. O.
