two reservoirs. and this was the source
of supply until the completion OF the
filtration plant some years later.
Work on the filtration plant proper was
commenced in May 1903. and 1t was
practically completed in September. 1868.
A few of the filter beds We're in operation
as early as August Of that year, put
ii was not until the following October
that the entire city was supplied with
filtered water. Since that time every
gallon of water used in THE District OF
Columbia whether for drinking purposes
a" 1Cr turning water motors, has been
filtered.
The system used here for the puriiica-
ton of the Potomac water is that of the
slow sand filters The filtration plant con-
sistS of twenty-nine of these slow sand
filter beds, all of which are of very large
size. Every one of them has an effective
area of one acre. The beds themselves
consist of layers of broken stone and OF
fine sand The layer of fine sand. three
and half feet thick, overlies the broken
stone. which is of different sizes. That
al the top is fine enough to prevent the
sand from falling between the stones,
which get coarser as the bottom is ap-
preached, to allow the water to run free
~ in every direction. In the lower aver
of coarse broken stone drain tiles are
laid with open joints. The water after

laid parallel to each other, fourteen feet
apart. empties into a central under drain.
which runs below the filter, and which,
in turn, discharges the water into a cast
iron pipe, through which 1t is conveyed
to the regulator houses
The regulator houses might readily be
mistaken by the layman for miniature
factories. And indeed they are factories,
for ii is here that what entered the
first reservoir dirty. germ-laden water,
is converted into cryStal-ciear, filtered
and healthfui product. There is one regu-
lator house for each bed. The houses are
all similar, all containing numerous
valves motors. drains and other appli-
ances for the regulating, refillinS and
mea surfing of the different beds. The
water is drawn from the beds into these
houses, and then passes directly to
filtered water reservoir, which holds tif-
teen million gallons.
This reservoir closely resembles the
ordinary filters in construction. 1t is
built entirely of concrete, a substance
which the action of water tends to harden
rather than decay. and is entirely covered
with earth. packed to a thickness of two
feet. This last was adopted as q pro-
lection against either extreme heat or
frost either of which might crack the
walls This is the final resting place Of
the water, as far as the filtration process
is concerned. From here 1t flows to the
low sections of the city by its own gray
ity. 1t is forced to the higher sections
by pumps.

Mrs Gait. NO one ever claimed thae

better industrial conditions to women. To
this influence must be added the impetus
given the general cause of women by the
suffrage movements. The commissioners
of labor recently published data proving
that 3SS occupations, industrial and pro-
fessional, were now open Dy which Wom-
en- could earn living. For those who
love things stated in round figures, 1t
may be stated that women in the indus
trial avocations are now one to three as
compared to men. Ten years ago they
were one TO five. There are now in this
country about 5,OO0.0iU self-supporting

centages than men. These workers in
sainful occupations demand that they be
given the educa tonai, intellectual, politi-
cal and legal equality of men. and espe
cially the right of suffrage. Educational
equality they have practically secured.
The other demands may be relesated to
the shelf for a time, but the period is
approaching when the question must be
debated in the open and the consensus of
opinion count at its face value"
Pleasing Personality.
Mrs. Gait IS delightful woman and,
like Susan B. Anthony, she does not suit
the description which men invariably fit
to woman suffragists-hens. cats or sour
visaged females. But nothing in
censes Mrs. Gait as TO mix up her per-
sonalty with her propaganda. 'One of
the most brilliant writer's on woman's
suffrage" she remarked, Ellis Meredith
of Denver, has this to say about a certain
phase of enfranchised women. and l wish
all men who discuss the subject would
treat it as a tract: 1T is says this
caustic chronicler, "a singular fact that
men seem unable to consider the abstract
question of voting quite apart from it's
personal bearings. For instance d we'll
known Denver writer laments that since
the disastrous year of 1893 he has seen
upon the streets of Denver the sad faces
of unloyed women. Both before and

the great qualification of possessing
the privilege to vote is not expressed
in the political significance at all.
