III euew remedy is known as tuber-

f. Aycock, Los Angeles man whose
medical education was Interrupted by
his own illness and who left the medi-

to enable him to continue his studies.
The search was long, arduous and dis

Carry Children in Arms.
One OF the features that excited Mr.
Bright's sympathy was the spectacle of
tired and worn women with babies i'm
their arms, waiting to make affidavit
concerning the ages of older children
who must work this summer.
Some OF these babies were only a
few weeks old, and were suffering Sc
verely from the heat. Many of the
adults appeared to be on the verge
of collapse.
Away down at the end of the line
Mr.. Bright called attention to wom-
an who, he said, was 20 years old,
If she was day" She was waiting
with her grandson, according to the
district superintendent, but it would
be or 8 o'clock in the afternoon be-
tore she could get to desk where
the certificates were being issued. She
and the boy arrived at 10 o'clock this
morning.
Says Methods Are Inhuman.
There ought to be more clerks put
TO work issuing these certificates" said
MIR. Bright. "A force ought to be at
work on both ends of the line. 1t
does not take any particular qualifea-
tons TO issue the certificates. 1t is
merely clercil work There is a whole
lot of inhumanity in the methods
that are being pursued"
These conditions will continue through
out the week. according to John Bren- |
nan, who has charge of the work. |
Twenty Thousand certificates will be
issued by the time the task is finished.
of these $4,000 will be to public school
and the rest to parochial school pupils.

Tapping the Patuxent River 10 Increase
the city's water supply is recommended
in report submitted to Commissioner
Judson by Lieut.. ". T. Hannum, engi-
neer officer in charge OF the local water
system.
THE problem" he says. rs only one
Of economy. A greater supply must be
gotten for future demands or unexpected
emergency requirements, and the Patux-
ent apparently offers a fine chance to
obtain it. However. II it proves too ex-
pensive. we must then fall back on the
Potomac for an increased supply"
Nothing definite as to the suitability
OF the Patuxent IS yet known, except
that an estimated flow Of 100000 gallons
a day may be obtained. This is equiv
alent TO the supply now procured from
the Potomac.
Gravity Flow Essential.
All depends on whether this can be
obtained with a gravity flow. Any other
method of getting water to Washington
would be too expensive for the Districts
purse and would cause the immediate
abandonment OF the project
A steel pipe line. ten TO sixteen miles
long. would be built TO carry the water
TO the filter beds at Mcmillan Park, near
the Soldiers Home. The altering Of
the water. as with the Potomac's supply,
would be a necessity.
Where this pipe line would tap the
Patuxent must necessarily depend on the
height Of the river bed. A suitable
point might be struck near Upper Marl-
boro which is only a few miles away,
while, again. the line might have to be
run farther up toward the rivers source.
Lieut.. Hannum said probably 100000
would be required for the Improvement
and about five years for the completion
OF the project
Meter Service Landed.
Lieut. Hannum's report dwells at length
on the installation OF meters for the local
services, At present, he points out there
are 15,S7s metered services. and 4So3S I'M
metered.
This growth OF the >metered service is
shown 20 be one Of the best economizers
OF the water supply The installation OF
meters Is expensive. but the records show
that the consumption OF water from these
services is generally less than IS per cent
OF that used by the unmetered services.
The entire water supply was filtered last
year The gauges showed a passage Of
more than 100000 gallons a day, or a
total for the year Of nearly 1900 100000
gallons. Sixteen thousand cubic yards OF
sand was used on the filter levels. the
beds being periodically cleaned Of the old
sand and supplied with fresh.
