The water in the reservoir on Chip
man hill was found to have reached a
very low point the first of this week.
The water commissioners investigated
this unusual circumstance at once and
found the cause to be due to the forma-
ton of an "air hammer" which had
almost completely shut off the water
from coming into the reservoir. An
"air hammer" is caused by air being
sucked back in the intake thus forming
a bank of air which acts as a shut off,
the pressure of the water itself not
being sufficient to drive this out. This
air hammer was blown out by pumps
and the reservoir is now in normal con-
dition again.

Fortunately most young folks are so
constituted. that nothing interests
them more than actual facts, and
good reading will furnish many of
these. 1t has been found that young
people who get into mischief, are US

aimlessly because their homes are un-
provided with good reading. There
Is a distinct relation between litter
acy and crime. If a boy or girl will
read two dozen good books a year. by
the time either one is twenty years
old. he or she will be familiar with
much of the best literature of the
whole world. Noble ideals will have
poSi sdAiieu anu culture acquired.
Our government realizes this and
has provided free reading courses for
parents and boys and girls as well.
These courses are mapped out by ex-
perts and certificates are awarded to
those who complete the specified
reading. The United States Bureau
