PopuIar Notion Exploded.

Detroit News. .t. .hat
 Tt has been popular notion that clersvmen's sons are less likely 10 achieve distinction in life than the chil-
 dren of laymen. This is probably que to the fact that when clergyman son goes to the dogs in fashion that attracts public notice his fathers call ing Is always lugged into the story but when the son of lawyer or or member of any other profession dls-
 graces himself in similar way no account Is taken of the relationship. Bishop Weldon has proved the popu- lar notion to be a fallacy. In an art icle which he has just published In the Fortnightly Review, in London, he shows that against the 5l0 and S.77O children of lawyers and doctors, re- spectively. who have won eminence in English history. 1,25O sons of the par sonage have attained fame. The list
 includes among philosophers Cudworth, Hartley, Hobbes Reid. Dugald Stewart, Thomas Hill Green and Henry Sidg- wick: in art Sir Joshua Reynolds and Sir Christopher Wren; among the poets, Ben Johnson. Fletcher. Marvell, Otway. Thomas. Ti2kall, Cowper and Tenny- son; among the historians, Allison fuller Hallam. Robertson and Froude; among the novelists, Charles Kingsley

TO STOP IRRIGATING
WITH SEWAGE WATER
BOARD OF HEALTH is AT LAST
GRATIFIED
CounciImen Hear Entreaties of Ply
clans and Decide to Discontinue the
Practice said to Menace Health of
the People

The entreaties of the board of health
have at last prompted the board of
public works to declare that after Sep
tember 1 no more sewage from the out
fall sewer will be sold for irrigation,
The board of public works reached
this conclusion yesterday and sent noti-
fcations to several users of sewage
to that effect. Today others will be
notified and when the thirty days
grace required by law has expired the
board of health will no longer have to
pass ordinances prohibiting the sale of
sewage irrigated vegetables in this city.
Complications, which until recently it
has been found difficult to disentangle,
have prevented the board from taking
this step in the past. InglewOod resi-
dents, where the sewage is sold, have
been complaining vigorously against the
use of sewage and several have threat
ened the city with damage unless the
sale of ii was discontinued. The Ingie-
wood Land and Water company has
persistently complained to the board
that the sale of sewage for irrigation
has hurt the sales of their lands and
several months ago threatened the city
with a damage suit unless 1t was dis
continued.
The sale of sewage has been source
of income for the city. In the sum-
mer months the city derives as much as
$1,000 for turning the outfall into the ir-
rigating bitches of the truck gardeners
in this vicinity. But lnglewood resi-
dents complain that it is a prolific
source of disease and the board of
health of this city has induced the coun-
ell to pass an ordinance prohibiting the
sale of any vegetables eaten raw. such
as cucumbers tomatoes, radishes, let
tuce and the like, that have been irri-
gated with sewage.

COUNCIL ORDERS PURCHASE
OF OWENS RIVER LAND
WHITE ESTATE TRACT BOUGHT
FOR $5 AN ACRE
New Acquisition by the City Is
Considered One of the Best Pieces
of Water-Bearng Land Now Owned
by Los Angeles

The city council yesterday authorized
the board of public works to purchase
from the White estate a large tract of
land in the owens river valley.
This land is to be bought for right
of way for the conduit, and the city
secures it for S. an acre.
The land which the city secures ad-
Joins Black Rock spring.. and it is one
of the best pieces of water bearing
land, with the exception of the Owens
river. that the city now owns in the
owens valley.
Houghton made an effort to hold up
the purchase of this land, declaring
that he knew nothing about 1t. and the
council should investigate before pay
ing out the money. The council gave
him until the end of the session to
look at the map and investigate the
new purchase.
