The matches, an annual affair, will
be played over the engineers course
this afternoon and u great turn out Of
fans is expected. The course Is very
fast and the matches will give an ex-
cellent line on what is to be expected
in the championship next week. The
American team looks little rugged
for the dominion players to handle.
Plat On Hand
J. w. Plat, Philadelphia champion,
has been encamped here since Wednes-
day. His first round was 80, and he
followed it with an so, and was twice
on the 1O's yesterday. George Hoff :
ner and Edward Clarey arrived yester-
day noon and whirled around in 70 and
80. :
These three Quaker stars were unani
mously of the opinion that the course Is
tricky. 81 don't think it compares
with the golf at Pine Valley" said
Platt this morning. NOR do l think 1t
is as hard as Oakmont. Luck around
the green's is going to decide this cham
pionship."
The other Philadelphians here are !:
Max Marsten, Cameron Buxton, ex-
Philadelphia champion; Walter Rey-
nOlds, runner up that year to Buxton !;

Lava Bottomed Valley
Made Into Reservoir

By a simple, yet successful, engi-
! neering expedient the ever present
DOGGY of a summer water shortage
has ben banishd from Portland, Ore.
A great reserve of more than 100000
900 gallons has been carried to ang-
ment the existing supply, says the
Popular Mechanics Magazine, the feat
being an interesting development in
one of the most remarkable municipal
water systems in America.
The reserve supply was made pos
sible by damming Bull Run Lake and
controlling the impounded water by
gateway through the dam.
Bull Run Lake is unusual in that
it has no surface outlet The lake was
originally formed by the deposit of
glacial material around bed of vol
canic lava The lava bottom is very
irregular and frequently broken by
tunnels and crevices.
1t has been presumed that Bull Run
Lake was thus the source of the river,
although it has been subject of con-
troversy, and engineers never were
certain of it until the present outlet
was created.
When the new dam was completed,
the temporary dam was dynam'ted,
and the watre released against the
permanent barrier Then as the gate
was raised the water rushed down a
gulch and into a natural stump, where
it disappeared. Within few minutes
engineers who were watching the
springs mile away, observed the
flow noticably increase. Twelve hours
later the added flow was apparent at
the headworks of the Portland water
system, twenty-five miles down the
river. The increased flow at the
springs demonstrated for the first time
that the lake and river were connected
by underground passages, and made
certain the success of the new pro-
ject.
BEFORE Lu0 plan W COHllOl IuC WdIOi
of the lake was originated, it was
thought that reservoirsmust be built,
and they had already been designed,
to cost between $3,OO0,0O0 and $4,000
900. The expense of the work just
completed was less than 100000, and
the blanketing process that is still go
ing on is not costly.
Portland's maximum water consump-
ton is about 100000 gallons day.
In hot weather, when Bull Run River
is at it's lowest stage, the total flow
was utilized and city officials feared
that a prolonged dry spell might cause
serious shortage The new impound-
ing system makes it possible to double
the flow of the river at any time. An
added 50,000,00O gallon day could be
turned in Off a period of nearly two
months without exhausting the sur
plus, so that it is evident the city's
water problem has been solved for
many years to come.

to leave a considerable balance. But
the existence Of the Pacca law, dating
from pontifical times and prohibiting
the sale of any Italian art treasures to
foreigners or for export without the
sanction of the State, which reserves
its right to take the object at its own
valuation, prevented the trustees from
making any advantageous sale. Ulti-
nhately the government insisted upon
taking over the collection Of paintings
and statuary at the preposterously low
figure of 100000, representing less
than a tenth of it's value, as deter
mined by international experts, while
the city of Rome ATTAINED in similar
manner and at merely nominal price
the exquisite Villa Borghese and its
superb gardens and park.
The greatest sorrow, however, to the
Borghese was the necessity of aban-
doning the historic Borghese Palace,
one of the most magnificent in Rome,
dating from the Borghese pope, Paul
v, and built, as are so many palaces
of that era, with stone and material
taken from ancient monuments. The
palace was not sold, but its various
floors were let to strangers, the mag
nifcent State apartments being leased,
through third parties, to the Grand
Orient of the Order of F'reemasons in
Italy which is frankly and avowedly
atheistic. This tenancy, so horrifying
to all the old Roman patriciate, and
more especially to the court OF the
Vatican, was only brought to close
after the marriage of Don Scipio, who
used some of his wife's dowry to buy
out the remainder of the Masonic
lease.
Don Scipios French dukedom OF
Borghese is a creation of the first Ma
poleon, who bestowed it in 1905 upon
Prince Camille Borghese when he mar
ried Pauline Bonaparte, the most beau
tiful of all the sisters of the emperor.
IT was she who sat as the model for
Canova's world-famed statute of Venus
and who, when asked whether she had
not been rendered uncopfortabl by the
extraordinary scantiness of her cos
tune when posing, replied, ooh, no!
You know there was fire. in the
room"

No Metric System
in Turkey

MISUNDERSTANDING S shrd
In connection with agitation for the
compulsory use of the metric system
in this country report from Consul
General Ravndal from Constantinople,
Turkey, on the use of the Metric
System in Turkey" is issued by the
United States Department of Com
merce. The Turkish government, it
is stated, legally adopted the metric
system as the official standard in 1915.
Consul General Ravndal says: so
far, outside of official circles, the met
ric unit is little used. In fact, in the
interior, the system is practically I'M
known, and it is doubtful if it will be
popularity accepted for many years to
come if at ALL The people find the
new system very much simpler from
mathematical point of view, but its
units are meaningless to them until
converted into the units of the old
(decimaD system" The American In
stitute of Weights and Measures,
which opposes the compulsory adop-
ton of the metric system in the United
States, in commenting on the report
of the Consul General, says: "How
can people find the new system much
simpler if to them the new units are
meaningless? We notice that the
adoption of ane wsystem is by no
means equivalent to it's introduc-
ton"

Western Union
Defies the u. S.

Washington.-Notic was given the
American government by Newcomb
P. Carlton, president of the Western
Union Telegraph Company that his
company intends to connect its new
cable from Barbados with its lines in
the United States by means of exist
ing cables to Cuba regardless of the
opposition of President Wilson and the
State Department.
Mr. Cartons statement was made
before a Senate Interstate Commerce
Commission subcommittee, which has
before it an administration measure
giving the executive department abso-
lutte control over the landing of cable
lines on American soil. He was one
of four witnesses examined at the
opening of an inquiry into the whole
subject of cable communication from
whose testimony the committee de-
veloped among other things that the
All-Americah Cables, Inc, an American
concern, was engaged, with the sup
port of the State Department, in a
fight against the Western Telegraph
Company, of Great Britain, and the
Western Union, in an effort to break
the cable monopoly enjoyed by the
British company in Brazil.
There also was testimony that the
All-American company enjoyed cable
monopolies in several Central and
South American countries, that the in
ternational communications confer
ence here had reached a tentative
agreement that no censorship should
be imposed upon cable messages
merely passing through relay points;
that there was no cable communica-
ton between the United States and
Germany except over British control
led lines; that some foreign govern
ments were substituting news agencies
disseminating reports in other coun-
tries and that the Western Union
planned further Independent connec-
lions through American cable lines to
Italy, Holland and Scandinavia.
Elihu Root, Jr, appearing for the
all-America cables, gave an entirely
different version of the controversy.
He said the question of stopping the
Miami cable landing was that it might
lead to the British company giving up
it's Brazilian monopoly and charged
that the Western Union had entered
into a contract with this British COM
pany by which the American concern
would direct the British lines all the
business collected in the United States.
Acting Secretary Davis, of the State
Department, testifying as to the con-
troversy between the government and
the Western Union, said the President
had refused to permit the landing OF
the Barbados cable because it would
connect with the British, which en-
ioyed monopoly in Brazil, and that
this action was in conformity with
American precedent and tradition.
Walter S. Rogers, of Washington,
one of the American commissioners to
the communications conference, said
he had heard great deal of complaint
that American business messages pass
ing through British censorship in the
war were copied and turned over to
British trade interests.

Photograph Used
to Answer Phone

Philadelphia-How the automatic
telephone, soon to be put in use in this
CITY can be used as fire alarm,
watchman and various other purposes,
was shown to the members of the
Chamber of Commerce at their lunche-
on in the Bellevue-Stratford, E. l..
Grauel, field engineer of the Automatic
Telephone Company, gave a demon
stration. Perhaps the most remark
able part of his demonstration was
monograph attachment whereby
man could leave message behind him
when he left the office, which would be
transmitted to whoever called his num-
Der during his absence.
In introducing Mr.. Grauel, Alba b.
Johnson, president of the chamber,
said
"a Mexican representative at re-
cent meeting stated that Mexico was
not ready to start system OF unlver-
sal education because Mexico needed
too much manual labor and that edu-
cation made people unwilling to do
this kind of work That was a start
ling statement of brutal truth
"There are three ways for us here
to meet such situation. One is the
Mexican method of neglecting educa-
tion. The second is to follow the
United States way of elevating the
people through education, and then
find people from less developed ma
tions to do the drudgery; or the thlro
way is to do this drudgery with me-
chanical means" Mr.. Johnson made
clear that the automatic telephone dld
the latter by eliminating the operators
and releasing these girls for other
work.
Mr.. Grauel said that the automatic
system of telephoning was really the
Oldest of the two methods. Phlladei
phia, he said, would be one of the tirst
of the large cities to install such
system for general use. To make his
statement clear the ballroom OF the
hotel was rugged up with automatic
telephones ON each table and cen
trail switchboard was set up at one side
of the room.
Mr.. Grauel first showed the practical
workings of the machine by calling
several of the tables and then discus
sed the details of it's construction he
spoke of the dial as nearly perfect as
any invention could be and stated that
in his opinion it would still be in use
one hundred years hence. Mr.. Grauel
continued:
"Tbe automatic telephone is so con-
structed that the human element Is
eliminated except in the case of long
distance calls The operator calls the
number himself by means of rotating
dial It is so arranged that BUSY
signal is given Immediately If the line
called is in use. If the wrong number
is called the machine automatically
trunks the call through to an operator
who corrects the error
"n the automatic telephone there is
such secrecy no one can interrupt a
call. The automatic telephone will do
everything that the operator system
will do, and great deal more"
