Enterprise.

w ASHINGTON has at last
NM solved one of the greatest en-
" " gineering problems that ever
confronted a great city-a
problem that had to do with the health
and well being of it's citizens. and one
which has been worked out under the
most trying and hitherto unparalleled
conditions
This problem was the proper disposal
OF the sewage and storm water of the
city-in other words the building of a
giant sewage system with a pumping
station, which is, in point of capacity,
the most powerful in the world. This
system, with its pumping plant. is now
nearing completion and should be fin
1shed and in working order within a
year.
Under the present system the sewage
and storm water of the city is carried
off, or is supposed to be carried off, by
gravity, through fifteen or twenty big
sewers that lead to the Potomac, the
Eastern branch Rock creek, and the
various creeks and canals. Because OF
the back water from the tides and the
sluggish movement of the rivers IN the
immediate vicinity and the overfows
in the one and one-haIf square miles Of
flood area" Of the city-the low ground
east of the Monument and south of the
Treasury building-Washington was fast
becoming a most unsafe and unsanitary
place.
To drain the low area of the city prop
erlv and carry the sewage to a proper
distance down the river was the all i'm
portant problem. and problem, indeed,
that seemed at one time to BATTLE solu-
tion. And yet with Americans there is
no such word as impossible.

hours. beating his own former record Of
1850 miles in 1000 consecutive hours. made
last June at Leeds. Buckler was born at
Newport Monmouthshire, on December II,
1913, and has TO his credit the biggest list
of long distance tramplng records Of any
man ever born.
He has had remarkable career. At the
age OF IL he became a cabin boy on a ship.
and stuck to the seafaring life for twenty
six years. His introduction to athletics
began in 1872 when he was matched against
"Shoni shon" Evans for 200 yards; the stake
being $50 a side, and, although Evans had
an unbeaten record, Buckler won by seven
yards.
Buckler knew a thing or two about scrap

les which lasted an hour and a half he won
from "Shoni Pom Fink. A trip 70 America

Printers skepticaI.

But, almost without exception, when
asked whether the woman typesetter was
likely TO multiply after the fashion OF the
typewriter and stenographer - whether
hundreds OF typewriters, lured by the hope
OF higher wages. were not likely to join
the ranks Of the machine typesetters-these
men look doubtful and shake their heads.
They are quite sure a new field OF in
dustry awaits women in the machine type
setter. and they believe it is not a difhcult
step from the keyboard of a typewriter
TO the keyboard of a typesetter, but none
is willing to prophesy that the field will
be invaded TO any great extent; that there
win be big rush to take the step.
The majority OF women hold back from

the question without gloves, it must be
admitted that printers have the name,

but they would be pretty likely 70.
Yes, this is one OF the very few job
printing ofices in Manhattan which employ
woman typesetter, and the only one,
so far as I know in which the woman
typesetter takes from a graphophone the
subject matter she sets in type.

and sets up the type at the same time.
Strange 20 say l have not yet run across
a printer who showed any liking for this
phase OF typesetting. The graphophone
bothers the men. They seem TO consider Il
foreign TO their business. But the woman
