THIRTY MILE RELAY RACE.
Thirty Runners TO Cover Road From
Charles City to Mason City.


Charles City to Mason City.
Mason City, July 22.-Thirty miles
on foot at the rate of ten miles an
hour is the stunt set for this evening.
\ revival of the old runners art" has
been undertaken and a message from
the city executive at Charles City viii
be carried to the city fathers here by
thirty runners from this city. Secre-
tary Hubbard has arranged with thirty
young men Of this city to go to Charles
City late this afternoon. Six autos
provided by Mr.. Hanford McNider, Mr.

1t is expected that the message VIII
be handed to the first runner at Charles

mile The second runner will jump
from the auto and snatch the tube con
tanning the message and the first run
ner will take his place in the car. The
distances will be measured by the
speedometers on the machines. Thirty
young men each running a mile ought
to be able to hold six minute pace on
the average. However, 1t is not ex-
pected that the pace set will be re-
markable as It Is hoped that the record
set can be tested and lowered from
year to year. Some Of these cross
country relay races have become very
popular. Here in northern Iowa, with
roads in good condition and with but
few bills to contend with. future is
predicted for this sort Of sport.
The runners that have been chosen
are the old high school boys. as well
as many OF those now In school. There
Is still some stretches of the race
to be filed and II any of the young
men of Mason City who have not been
asked to handle a stretch OF the race,
are willing to enter II, they
should call up Mr.. Hubbard at
once. The first cars will leave for
Charles city at 4 o'clock and the race
should reach the court house here be-
tween 8: 80 and 9 o'clock.

WATERWoRKS SYSTEMS THAT
CONFORM WITH PLANS APP.
PROVED eY STATE.
BOARD OF HEALTH TO-
REGULATE SYSTEMS INSTALLED
Buried Air Pressure Tanks For Fire
Protection Not to Meet With State
Z ApprovaI-Board to Test Iowa Law
in Towns Where Tabooed Systems
Arc Adopted.

Des Moines, July 22.-Waterworks
! systems for Iowa cities and towns must
be constructed on plans approved by
state authority. Where contracts are
let for construction on plans not thus
approved there Is going to be trouble.
Further there is not going to be any
approval of systems which depend on
buried air pressure tanks for all the
| force needed for fire protection.
The standard system for small cities
| and towns is an elevated tank with
some pumping system for supplying
the water. Everyone agrees this is a
/ good method of planning a system. The
insurance people say it is all right and
reduce insurance rates accordingly.
But lately some small towns have in
stalled pressure tank system, some
| times two tanks and sometimes only
| one, with pump worked automatically
by electric power to keep up the pres
sure. Blu. the underwriters say this
is weak proposition in case of fire.
The wires may be broken or something
burns out just al critical moment,
and unless The pumping keeps up the
pressure does not. In Kansas and other
states the engineers refuse to accept
such systems as adequate.
Board to Test Iowa Law.
Now the Iowa state board Of health
requires that all new systems shall
meet with the approval of the board.
A tentative plan for an elevated tank
system was approved for Alexandra.
Franklin county, some time ago, but
word has been received that pressure
tank system has been contracted for.
If SO the state board will go right after
the offenders and see whether or not
the Iowa law is any good. Similar
systems have been installed. so it is
said, at other places-Gilbert station.
Ellsworth and other places
The engineer of the state board Of
health has refused to sanction con-
struction of systems where the pres
sure tank is intended to be substitute
for the high reservoir or tank.
