mated Entirely for Several
Days.

IN speaking of the new Rock Island
filter plant, P. W. Sharp. superinten-
dent OF erection for the Pittsburg FIJI
ter Manufacturing company. who has
charge of 1t, had the following TO say:
The plant Ia now complete and in
working order. I would not advise
people to use city water without boil
ing, for the reason that at the time
the plant was started up there was
one basin containing 100000 gallons
and another about 5000. 900. as well
as the ehtite pipe system Of the city.
III takes considerable time TO elimin-
ate this water in the manner in
which it is eliminated. Ordinarily 1t
means only four days supply to the
city and provided that we could use
this four days supply Of the city we
could then give the filtered water.
But as it is we have to turn the
filtered water into the raw water that
was already in the basins. or course
the mixing of the filtered water with
the raw water permits a continuation
of the incubation of typhoid bacteria,
in the filtered water-to a lesser ex-
tent. This process Of eliminating the
raw water from the basins and mains
throughout the city would be the
same as II you would I'll a pail OF
murky water, empty part of it out
and then I'LL up again with pure, dis
titled water. Then. by emptying and
filling again. and repeating the pro
cess, the time comes eventually when
the water Is reasonably pure.
Il have heard a report to the effect
that the filters were left in an unsan-
itary condition when they were put in
to use: that the men on the work used
them for unsanitary purposes during
the period Of construction. This is abb
solutely untrue. Nothing of this sort

Mrs Ella G. Bushnell Hamlin IL still
carrying the chip on her shoulder,
waiting for Woodwork Clum to knock
it of and meet her in joint debate on
the rights Of women and their super
iority TO men.

house and $3.50 in addition. But still
Mr.. Clum is silent-so much so that
his silence is becoming intense.
The wise ones declare that if Broth
er Clum and Sister Hamlin ever come
together, there will be violent erup-
ton of oratory and dazzling display
Of rhetorical figures. One of the root
ers for the debate has even gone SO
far as to suggest the tenor of the
colloquy when they come together.
His forecast follows:
Sister HamIin-This talk about you
men being superior to women is all
buncombe. Where would you men be
without woman.s advice and counsel?
Where do all great men get their ad-
vice but from their wives? And let
me tell you. Mr. .Cium, there is many
a so-called great man in this world
who is only using his wife;s ideas. Z.
Brother Clum-Possibly so, sister,
possibly so.
Sister Hamlin-Possibly so? Well,
it is so. can give you hundreds Of
cases and ! don't have to go out Of
this town either to find them. Let
me tell you further there is many a
woman who is not only giving her
husband free advice but is earning
the daily bread for both OF them Why
shouldn't a woman vote? When you
see some of these bone-heads, who
simply because they are wearing trou
sers, believe they are entitled to a
monopoly of the ballot, 1t make me
sick Why
Brother Clum-Just a minute, Sis
ter. If the women wear trouserettes,
maybe they will give them the ballot
Sister Hamlin-Trousere It's
none of your business what we women
wear. That's the trouble with you
men. You think we women have only
to deck ourselves out in gaudy colors
to please you. tell you that We have

identifying Broadway Presbyterian

in color. is now Of cream color. A
small border around the upper wall is

have been installed TO take the place
Of the old ones. The pipe organ has
been thoroughly Overhauled. The
church is now brighter and certainly
more attractive than formerly. Aside

(By United Press. )

MADRID, May 30.-Spain and Por
.tugal have exchanged complaints
Span that Portugal is permitting anti.

bate. their plans in Lisbon, and Por.
tugal that Spain is allowing Portu.
iguese antirepublicans to hatch con
,spiracies at Vigo, Fuentes de onera,

Both complaints are believed to be
we'll founded. Spain does not enjoy
having a republic adjoining 1t so close
ly. Portuguese monarchists are GER
tainly active along the Spanish side
of the fronier and Spain refuses to
interfere with them pretending that
1t has no knowledge that any are
there, though Of course 1t really has.
Portugal recently refused formally to
authorize a Spanish anti,no anarchist
association to establish headquarters
in Lisbon. The association was es-

authority and the Lisbon government
