Nineteen states, shown by solid black areas, are today treating tea than 10 per cent of their sewage In treatment plant*. Three states treat less than 20 per cent of their sewage, while fold* states hare reached the place where SO to 40 per cent of their sewage is scientifically treated. Only two states show treatment of more than 50 per cent of their sewage and these two states represent but one-sixtieth Of the nation's population. Equally remark#Vile is the fact that out of 48 states, twelve do not know where they stead u&this serious situation. Hie menace lies not alone in the huge volume of community waste now polluting streams. In manufacturing centers industrial wastes are being poured into waterways at a rate which has ratised a few farsighted states to caM a halt. This type of waste is even more difficult to combat than community sewage.

Andcnt Industry It That of Bread Baking is probably the very oldest Industry man engaged in. Wheat and barley, the oldest cereals known to have been found, together with the plowshare fashioned of wood and the stone hand mill consisting of a hollowed stone and a stone ball-shaped crusher, among the remains left by prehistoric man. The oldest bread was made in the form of cakes or fritters simply prepared by mixing wheat or barley to a batter with water and milk and baking these batter cakes of maybe the slae and form of our presentday griddle cakes on hot ashes or over red-hot coals, or a hot stoiK>, which represented the first bread pan and oven combined. Salt was probably the only other ingredient nsed besides the milk and water, as there was no baking powder and yeast was not used until brewing beer from germinated barley had become known. The Egyptians had perfected both baking and brewing 1,800 years before the beginning of the Christian era.
