IT NEEDS BOILING.
Water in Storage Basin at the
Reservoir Has Become
Contaminated.
SHOWN BY FOUR TESTS
Samples from Filter Indicates That
Apparatus Is Doing It's Work
Properly, However.

DIR. Ralph Dart. the health commits
sioner, has issued a warning to the
users of city water that. the water
from the mains should be boiled before
it is used for drinking purposes. This
is the result of a report received yes
terday afternoon from the state water
survey, which shows that while the
filters on the hill are working in excel
lent shape, the water in the clear
water settling basin has become con
taminated with animal matter and is
not suitable for use. Tests were made
of four samples, one from the river,
one from the mains just before the
water enters the filter, one just as the
water leaves the filter, and the other
from the clear basin.
Cause is Mystery.
The reason for this contamination is
not clear. The filters evidently are
doing their work properly, but it may
be that at some time raw water has
been pumped into the storage basin
and contaminated it. Or something
may have been thrown into the basin
DIR. Dart has taken the matter up with
view to having the basin cleaned at
once

MORAL REFORM NEEDED.

The Beacon Light institute at Phil

civic and moral betterment Of Afro
Americans. 1t is carried on by the
Second Emancipation league, of which
the Rev. G.. A. Tindley is president
In certain sections Of most large cities
our people are very numerous by rea-
son of high rents for better living quar-
ters which the majority are unable to
pay. And, again, there is an element
Of our people that seem determined
to carouse and hang around the street
corners. DR.. Tindley has wisely sug-
gested that in such communities indi-
vMual committees should be formed
whose duty it should be to conduct
crusades Of persuasion among the OBJ
jectionable element with the hope of
reforming them in manners and NOR
ais. We would like to see such COM
mittees formed in all the large cities
throughout the United States where
such conditions exist. If this street
corner element cannot be persuaded
to keep off. then legal steps should be
taken to make them do So These
street corner gangs are damning the

IMPORTANCE OF NEGRO LABOR
A. Soldiers and Industrious Workmen
the Negro Has Done His Part.


E. A. Johnson. New York lawyer
was the principal speaker at the re
cent Fourth of July celebration at the
Carlton avenue branch of the Brook
lyn Young Mems Christian association.
Counselor Johnson spoke on The Re-
lation of the Afro-A American to the
Nation He reviewed the history of
the race and the part it took in all Of
the wars down to the war of the re-
bellion. He then said: Coming down
the line we find the Negro actively
and bravely engaged in the civil war.
The victories achieved at Lexington,
Petersburg and Gettysburg are all in
part due to the valiant fighting of the
black man. In 1920 twenty of us were
brought over from Africa and landed
at jamestown, Va. Such acceptable
workmen did we prove that they sent
for more of us.
1--WE began to work then, and we
have been working ever since. 1t was
my privilege in April to travel from
ing mainly through the cotton fields
of the south, and | never saw a half
dozen white men engaged in that line
of work. but everywhere coored labor
was In evidence. Thera Is the saliva
ton Of the country. Cotton is king.
This country was founded on worth
and ideas. and the spirit of justice can
only live by adhering to the principles
upon which the country was founded.
Countries. like individuals. must not
only start right. but keep right be-
lieve in the ultimate triumph Of truth
Although we are the victims Of harsh
and discouraging criticism by our
friends all over the United States ard
particularly In the southland. | can
see the handwriting on the wall. The
kingdoms of prejudice must divide
must fall. In forty-five years we have
decreased our iliteracy from 90 per
cent to 45 per cent and have increased
our taxable earnings from absolutely
nothing to very nearly $S00.000 600
The work of educating the youth of
this race devolves wholly upon us.
We cannot solve the problem by talk.
but by work and common sense. What
this country is today is largely due to
the labor Of the Negro. We are part
Of this nation we have helped to make
it what 1t is. and we are going to help
keep 1t up to the high standard 1t has
attained"
