Slow Sand Filters

can be secured by the use of slow
sand filters. Where water sup
ply carries ANY quantity of clay
in suspension. however. slow sand
filters will not remove it. Where
it is necessary to first coagulate
the water, mechanical or rapid
sand filters are more economical
in first cost and in operation. We
have, therefore. made no plans or
estimates of the cost of slow sand
filters.
Mechanical Or Rapid Sand Filters
The most successful method of
l,urifying water containing coli
loidal clay is by means of the
The water is first treated by CO.,
agulation, but instead of having
coagIating basins holding several
times the daily consumption. it is
only necessary TO build the basins
of such capacity as to hold about
four hours supply. These coagu-
lation basins will not remove all
of the geiatinous precipitate. but
the precipitate is caught upon the
surface of the sand filters.
Before entering the coagulating
basins, the water should lie pass
ed through a comparatively small
chamber thoroughly baffied. which
is known as a mixing chamber.
The function of this chamber is
TO thoroughly mix the coagulant
with the water before it enters
the coagulation or sedimentation
basins. The velocity of the water
in passing through the mixing
chamber is kept up to such
point that there are no deposits
in the chamber.
II will also be necessary TO build
small house adjacent 10 the mix
ing chamber for storing the

paratEs for making the chemical

The estimated cost of the head
house. mixing chamber and
coagulating basins. is SIT 500.
After passing through the CO.
agulating basins. the water will
enter the filters through properly
arranged valves and piping. These
filters can be made OF wood, but
the difference between the cost of
wood and concrete tanks is SO
small that We recommend the con-
crete tanks as cheaper in the end
on account OF the permanency of
their construction.
The tanks forming the filters
are filled to depth of approxi-
mately three feet with properly
graded sand and gravel, coarse
gravel being on the bottom and

sand on the top. In the gravel is
placed a system of underdrains
for collecting the water after it
passes through the filters. The
water then passes through a sys-
TEN of piping, valves and control
apparatus for regulating the rate
at which the water is filtered, and
Is then discharged into the clear
or filtered water basin, which will
also act as pump we'll
The estimated cost of the filters,
piping, valves and control appara-
tus, of capacity to filter 1000, 900
gallons per day. is $4,000.
The water from the filters
would flow into clear water
basin of 25O,O00 gallons capacity,
which would be built directly un-
der the filters. The estimated
cost OF this clear water basin is
$4,000.
Cost OF Filter Plant
The total estimated cost of the
filter plant would, therefore, be as
follows:
Head. house, mixing cham
Der and oagulating
basins ..e......... $17,500
Filters, piping and equip
meht ............ 10000
Clear water basin. ..... 10000
Total ...........$4 $40, 500
This cost is much cheaper than
would be the cost for coagulating
basins alone of several days ca
pacity. which We estimated at
$4,000. Cheaper coagulating
basins which could later be used
for the coagulating basins and
clear water reservoir of a filtra-
ton plant could be built for $780,
500, and then fGrther sedimenta-
tion could be secured in the two
service reservoirs by reconstruct
ing the inlet and outlet pipes and
the building of a battle wall across
these reservoirs. This work
would cost approximately $4,000,
making the total cost about $40.-
0O0 We do not recommend this
step. however, as it could be con-
sidered at best merely a tempor-
ary expedient to secure a partially
purified water. and, it would be
impossible to increase the pres
sure without building a separate
pumping station.
Recommends Filtration
We therefore recommend the
building of a complete filtration
plant at the present time

REPORT OF PHI SIGMA
LITERARY SOCIETY

Phi Sigma proceeded rapidly with
routine work last Monday night and
fastened into the debate of the even
ing. The question, Resolved tha1
all immigration into the United
States should be prohibited for a
period of five years." was opened by
Mr.. E. N. Caffey who dealt mainly
with the Japanese side of it. he
was followed by Mr.. H. B. Lngle'
who opened fire from the negative
side of the issue and attempted to
swamp his opponent with mass OF
we'll chosen statistics. The second
speaker on the affirmative, M. Leroy
Tunnel, brought out facts to prove
that most of our present trouble with
the "Reds" could be traced back to
immigration, and dwelt upon the bad
effect of immigration upon American
labor. He argued that five year
period Of no immigration would give
us time to straighten matters out.

different candidates rose and fell. At
the final count, Messrs. I. F. Bell, Sid
Berry, and H. L. Samuels were found
to be elected and Lee Russell and
Hubert Lipscomb to be tied. The run

Univ. CENSUS SHOWS
INTERESTING FACTS
ENROLMENT OF DEPART
MENTS.
Official Register Shows interesting
Divisions In Various Departments.
Religious Census Taken.

The 1920 census of the University
of Mississippi shows some rather In
teresting facts. The last years en-
~ollment of 592 shows slightly
larger number of students than that
of the current session. But the diff
ference is so slight that it scarcely
deserves notice, and when we consider
the quality of those enrolled, we see
that the quantity demands no con-
sideration. The best of Mississippi's
ambitious youth is here today prepar-
ing for the great tomorrow. Train
ing that it may become the victor in
the great battle of life. The young
men and women who shall leave this
institution will tread the various we'll
beaten professional paths of modern
civilizations: They are to become our
future administrators, doctors, law
yers, preachers, and financiers of
days not yet to come; they are to be
the citizens Of the new Mississippi,
as yet unknown but predicted.
An examination of the University's
official register will show the bent
and inclination of the various stu
dents enrolled. Those who are in
clined toward the scientifically liter
ary degree number 316. This degree
of B. S. has a larger following than
any of the other degrees. The ex-
PLANTATION for this probably is, as has
been suggested, on account Of the
scientific trend of the age in which
we live, an age whose field brims
with opportunity.
Those who are scholarly inclined
and are "latinishly" striving for the
Bachelor of Arts degree, are So il
number. This degree, although its
ranks are smaller than those of its
brother, the B. S.. is nevertheless
composed of members who are strong
in spirit.

opening for the affirmative. His
reasons for Sweden's claims to this
territory were vigorously attacked by
Mr.. Allen of the negative. The
logical analysis OF the question given
by Mr.. Linton, second speaker for
the affirmative, was followed by an
equally cool and effective presenta-
ton of Finnlands rights in the mat
ter by Mr.. Lewis. The result of the
judges deliberations was decision
for the negative.
Mr.. Irwin, with well chosen words
and marked gravity, under the head
of Parliamentary Drill, moved that
Mr.. C. H. Williams be dismissed from
the society for heaping vituperative
invectives upon the defenseless and
pious head of the Society's beloved
chaplain, j. E. McCall.
After the failure of this motion,
Mr.. Phillips moved that it be the will
of the Society that Mr.. Zeller recount
his recent experiences while attend
ing the circus at Water Valley, say
ing that he understood, after having
dissipated his funds, in order to get
back to Oxford, he resorted to the
expedient scheme of forcing his way
into a baboon cage, explaining the
occupant that he had just joined the
show and hadn't had time to be as
signed to any particular habitat.
While refraining from taking the
floor to deny such unethical conduct,
Mr. Zeller explained to a small cote
RE of his friends, that he did get on
pink lemonade jazz, and being
temporarily non compos mentis, think
ing he was still accompanied by Mr..
Phillips, followed an understood ba-
boon into a cage. He added that he
regretted the mistaken identity and
intended, at the first opportunity to
send the missing link" letter of
apology. It is presumed that by this
time the baboon has duly received
same.
