which made the work of the cast

IN the production cannot be blamed
for the poor Judgment OF the com

WATER Is SAFE
DESPITE RUST,
SAY OFFICIALS
Health Secretary Tells Public
They Should Not Be
Alarmed.

South Bends water Is still free
from germs. and perfectly safe for
drinking purposes. the health de-
partment and water FORKS depart
meut announced Friday morning, in
explanation OF the discolOration
which has caused several hundred
complaints in the last few days. Tho
rcddish-yellOw color Is caused by
small particles OF rust. torn from the
inside OF the mains BY the sudden
increase in pressure necessitated by
the volume or water consumed dur
ing hot weather.
Although the water as II comes
from the tap is absolutely safe for
drinking. IL is recommended by DR.
+. G.. Freyermuth, secretary OF the
board OF health. that water intended
for drinking be strained through a
cloth. OF allowed TO stand and settle,
in order that the rust particles may
not be taken into the system.
VIII End Soon.
The trouble will end in a few days,
the water works department said
Friday, because the rush will soon
remove all loose rust and then the
water will become clear. The diff
Guilty is more aggravated this year
than is usual, owing TO the sudden
change in temperature, it was point
ed out, when Thursdays pumpage
record reached 100000 gallons,
more than was pumped on any sin
gle day during 1919. Last year the
maximum for one day was $3.50. $50
gallons, pump ed on July &c. after
the pressure had been gradually
working up 10 that point during the
month of June. This year the de-
mand came suddenly.
Another cause OF the trouble lis
found i'm the fact that crews are at
work in the south and west parts
of the city flushing fire lines and
sewers. This procedure always brings
a rush OF water which lOosenS the
rust coating I'm the mains.
DIR. Freyermuth explained Friday
that South Bend citizens have been
drinking water for years which has
been flowing over and through this
same rust, without untoward effects.
which proves that there are no
germs to be feared. Recent tests OF
South Bends water have establish
ed its purity the doctor declared.

TALE OF BUSINESS
CONTINUED FROM PAGE oNE)

Cleveland, Chicago and other cities
were better business bureaus are re-
ceiving the whole hearted support
of business and professional men
alike.
Activities OF Bureaus.
The activities of the better bust
ness bureau and the vigilance COM
mittee are constructive rather than
destructive, declared the speaker.
This has been the rule since the
committees inception years ago,
when advertising men in convention
were still debating the worth Of
color in presenting their product.
The activities were launched when
advertising men realized that some
thing had 10 be done to clean house
in one Of the greatest institutions
Of the age.
Legislation was suggested. This
is n great country of lawmakers, q"
said Mr.. Lee. but we are rather
lax on law enforcement" Realizing
this. the creation OF new laws was
forgotten, and committee oppoint-
ed 20 endeavorS TO protect business
through the application of existing
legislation.
The first case of the vigilance
committee surrounded the activities
Of Al Bidwell. OF Buffalo. Bidwell
had been sued time and time again.
Always il was found his character
Witnesses saved him. which led 10
the discovery that he retained one
percent OF his thousands OF Gus
toners as protection. These men.
the brains Of the country. were
given naught but fair treatment, in
anticipation OF an emergency.
Amos Operated Here.
Harry Ames NanAuken was one
OF Bidwells agents. Ames. as he
was better known, operated in South
( Bend. lie was arrested in Georgia
and brought to book. Bidwell was
denied his citizenship. imprisoned
and the privilege OF the mails taken
from him. VanAuken and others
were imprisoned.
The Bidwell case was but one OF
several sketched graphically by Mr..
Lee. The last case touched upon
was the Pan Motors fraud. aired be-
fore Judge lands in Chicago re-
Gently. Emerson motors and the
Ford tractor cases were described.
Constantly. Mr. Lee said, the dup
Lefty and gullibility or the public
tended to cause one to wonder what
use there was of all the prosecu-
ton and warning. But ever the
work OF cleaning the house Of adj
vertising was renewed with In
creased vigor.
This. he said. was easy 10 under
stand in the face OF the fact that
50 percent OF modern marketing is
done through the medium Of ad-
vertising.
A plea was made for the furth-
erance OF the better business bureau
movement. and there was a strong
attitude among those who heard Mr..
Lee 10 assist in the fostering OF
such an organization in South Bend.
Already the South Bend club has
been working along this line. II
met with but mild support the past
year. The movement Will be
launched again next year.
Mr.. Macdonald announced follow
ing Mr.. Lees address that the an
nual picnic OF the advertising club
would be held in July. instead Of in
June. as previously planned.
