tors Will Take Up Matter in
a Few Days.

Since the report of the government on
the pollution of the Brandywine and the
city water supply, and fixing the principal
source at the Bancroft plant, there has
been much discussion of the steps necessary
to remedy the condition and make the
Brandywine water safe for Wilmington.
According to the opinion of City Soici-
tor John W. Huxley, the Street and Sewer
Department, owning and maintaining the
sewer used by the Bancroft plant, is
liable for the expense necessary to pre-
vent any further or future contamination
OF the water This opinion was rendered
to the Water Commission through Chief
Engineer Van Trump, who laid 1t before
the board at its meeting Monday. The
Water Commission is expected Co take the
matter up with the Street and Sewer
Board i'm a few DAYS. and il is expected
that a conference will be held at which the
whole matter will he gone over.
Atthe meeting yesterday of the Board
of Directors of the Street and Sewer De
partmeut. the matter was informally
brought up by Engineer Malcr OF the
board, and there was some discussion
but nothing was settled.

WOMAN TELLS OF PLANSFOR FUTURE
Democratic Woman Says Politics and Religion Most
 Important Things Now

New York, June 5.-The millions of

 amendment to citizenship next November are going to become a power for good in the nation, according to Mrs. John Sher- win Crosby, a delegate to the democratic national convention in San Francisco next
 June. A woman President of the United | States, she says, is remote but not irn- possible, say, in 19H''
 "The only two things worth while at present" said Mrs. Crosby, are politics and religion. We all should study both; how to improve our government and l make better men and women. When l I speak of religion I don't mean any l particular creed, but the religion of the 1 gospels, the Ten Commandments and the sermon on the mount. The world Is

CTS have most heartily fallen in with all suggestions made in the interest of the public safety and by mutual agreement entered into by practically all of the packers they are now taking steps to withdraw from the market all ripe olives in glass containers which have not been sterilized at sufficient temperature. Sim liar steps are being taken by some of the packers in the case of minced olive rel ishes in view of the fact that one death due to the consumption of such prod uct has been reported.
 While concerted action to remove ripe olives packed in tin and processed at a low temperature has not been taken by the packers the fact that spoilage in tin has so consistently resulted in making a swell out of the can constitutes a warn ing to the purchaser which is not often disregarded. There is no reason to an- ticipate danger from properly packed and processed ripe olives whether they be packed in tin or glass containers"

RIPE OLIVES ARE:
 AGAIN RESTORED
 TOPUBLIC FAVOR
Department of Agriculture Secures Change in the Method of Prep
 aratiOn
By Associated Press

Washington, May 31.-Ripe olives have been restored to favor. It is again safe to eat them, according to government ex- ports. The appetizng delicacy which, by reason of a few instances of imperfect packing, was brought into temporary dis favor all over the United States, has been officially restored to it's place at the table and epjicures may breath a sigh of satisfaction. Incidentally, the bacillus botulinus, that tiny organism responsible for the ripe olives undeserved loss of popularity, has been utterly routed and destroyed. and henceforth must seek other fields.
 Secretary Meredith of the department of agriculture, in making public the re- suit of a thorough investigation by gov ernment chemists of cases of poisoning due to the eating of ripe olives, said the trouble was not due to the containers in which they were packed, but to iso- lated cases of inadequate sterilization. The chemists found, he said, that it was possible to sterlize completely both glass jars and tin cans. To eliminate all pos- sible future trouble, he said the packers have adopted the departments recommen- dation that the olives be subjected to not less than 2i0 degrees of heat to prevent the possibility of danger to the consumer. This increased sterilization, it is said, in no way effects the flavor or edibility of the relish.
 Owing to prejudice, due to the publicity given cases of poisoning from eating ripe olives, according to the packers, the ripe olive packing industry has been prac- tically destroyed, the demand having fallen off 95 per cent. So widespread was this prejudice that the consumption Of green olives was similarly reduced, al- though no fatalities were traced to the use of them. It is believed that the &C., ton of the department of agriculture in discovering that the cause of poisoning was not due to either tin cans or glass jars and in uniting the packers in CO., operative movement to standardize their product by absolutely safe methods oi
