ONE MANS OPINIONS
BY N. D. COCHRAN
4 The Suffrage Parade.-There was
music in the souls of the women as
they marched on Michigan boulevard
Saturday; and there was music in
their feet. Some of them marched
with nerves a-tingle Some almost
danced. l was hoping the bands
would break into rag-time and start
'em dancing along the boulevard to
beat the bands.
wouldn't have blamed em if they
had danced instead of marched. l
think lot Of them were so glad they
were citizens that they felt like rag
ging.
A fne-looking girl at the head of
the Oak Park brigade was so happy
she could hardly make her feet be-
have.
1t would have been great if the
bands had only played the right
tunes. l think the men, would have
rushed from the sidewalks, picked
their partners and turned the parade
into one grand ball on Michigan
boulevard.
One thing liked was the liberal
applause which broke spontaneously
from the crowd on the sidewalk when
the delegations of splendid-loOking
colored women marched by.
1 thought that the grandparents of
those women were slaves; and then
as the. white working women march
ed by thought possibly their grand
children may be free, too.
The vote is a small part of the
emancipation of women slaves. I'm
less it helps to set them free-as free
as nen-in every particular, then the
vote won't amount to much. But it
may help set men free too. 1t may
actually make this a FREE country.

an ounce of sense The Day Book
would have a larger circulation than
the News and American put together

IMHOFF TANKS

The disposal Of sewage presents
two problems-the disposal OF liquid
and the dispoeal OF solids. The Aver,
age sewage contains more than s9.s
per cent. water, and less than i Of
one per cent solid matter.
The Imhoh Tank accomplishes two
important things. 1t separates the
liquids from the solids and it re
duces the solids to form il which
they can be handled safely.
The Imhoff Tank is divided into two
compartments, Typical Section" an
upper compartment through which
the fresh sewage flows slowly so that
the solid matter contained in it which
Is capable OF being settled falls by
gravity to the bottom of the upper
compartment, and thence by the out
lets in its hopper bottom into the
lower compartment. The fresh sew
age passes through the upper compart
ment in from one hour and half to
two hours, which time is so short
that no septic action takes place and
the effluent running away from the
tank has not fermented.
In a settling tank without two COM
partments, the fermentation of the
solid matter which is settled to the
bottom soon causes gases TO arise,
which, passing through the sewage
prevents complete settling of the
solid matter. In the Imhoff Tank the
solid matter settles to the lower COM
partment and the gases arising from
| fermentation pass outside of the up
per compartment of the atmosphere,
thus causing no interference with the
settling action in the upper compart-
ment Results prove that instead OF
settling the usual so to 65 per cent.
of such solid matter as can be settled
that in the Imhoff Tank the settling
reaches SO to SO per cent.
The gases which comes away from
an Imhoff Tank are mainly carbonic
acid gas and marsh gas, both of which
are oderless. In contrast to this the
gases which come off from single
shallow tanks are apt to contain large
quantities of hydrogen sulphide, which
is very offensive.
The Imhoff Tank is so constructed
that the solids which have been re-
moved from the sewage remains in
the lower compartment for three
months or longer, at the end of which
time the destruction of nonresistant
organic matter and germs has been
accomplished to such a degree that
an odorless sIudge can be discharged
through the outlet pipe directly from
the tank without further publication.
At the end of about three months a
part of the sludge is removed from
the bottom of the tank at frequent
intervals, so that the operation of the
tank becomes practically continuous,
new sludge forming on top of the
older sludge and gradually taking the
place of the older sludge at the bot
tom as it is removed.
The disposal of the sludge has been
the most difficult problem with which
to contend, as the sludge usually has
a strong odor and is very Shiny, caus-
ing a nuisance.
The methods of disposing of sludge
in general use have been to carry it
to sea in barges where possible, to
transport it in tram cars to unin-
habited sections and to dump it, after
first removing as much water as is
possible by sand filtration on drying
beds or by filter presses. These
methods are more or less productive
of odors and nuisance.-By Alex H.
Twombly, Civil Engineer.
