LEAK DETECTOR
IS GREAT BOON
LITTLE ELECTRIC ARRANGEMENT
AID TO WATER DEPARTMENT
AND TO PATRONS.

4 During the early summer the Mos
COW city water department was pro-
Vlded, at cost of $50, with an "elec-
trio leak detector," one of the most
interesting pieces of modern inven-
ton. Also, something that means the
saving of large annual outlay by
the city, as well as private citizens,
as anyone who has had to meet the
expense of locating a leak in their
water pipe can testify.
The electric leak detector, from
outward appearances, is a neat wood
en- box some twelve inches square,
but the inside of this box is provided
with electrical equipment that inten-
sifies and multiplies sound to a de-
gree that is almost beyond human
comprehension. So delicately is this
instrument adjusted, and so great is
sound intensified that it is absolute
ly and positively able to detect any
leak in water pipes, even though the
leak might be several times deeper
than the deepest water pipe in Mos
cow Probably 25 feet would not be
out of range of this instrument, and
where the leak is of considerable
volume, as in one of the large mains,
there is hardly any possible depth
that leak could not be located Nor
is there even the fraction of a foot
variation in it's work. In tests al
ready made the detector has proven
its worth, for in every instance, ex-
cavation has uncovered the leak di-
rectly beneath the exact spot indi-
Gated by the instrument.
Many of our townSpeople have, in
recent years, been confronted with a
sudden jump in their monthly water
bills, when there was no increase in
and after much abuse
Of the water department, and con-
demnation of meters, and the en-
ployment of plumbers, with more ex-
pense, have found bad leak some
where within their property limits.
One such case occurred last winter.
Much of the water pipe in the yard
vas uncovered and the entire system,
rom kitchen to basement and under
he house examined, and neither
plumbers nor city water employees
.ould locate the leak, while the meter
registered a flow that indicated a
break in supply pipe. From
i month the meter registered j..
rom this leak made the faucets sing
i'll the noise could be heard many
eet away. Search was continued
nd at last the leak was found be-
eath a cement walk. Nearly foot
f three-quarter inch pipe was rusted
lmost in two. And this leak was
ess than three feet below the sur
ace. The electric leak detector would
ave located this leak in less than
ne minute, even had the operator
tarted at the meter seventyfive feet
way in the street.
There are instances where paving
as been torn up clear across the
treet here in Moscow to locate leaky
lain, and only last spring it required
lot of hard work and the tearing up
considerable paving to locate bad
,ak under the paving in front of Sui
vans Ford garage. The detector
ould have located this in a few sec
nds, saved the tearing up of pave
ent, saved a lot of labor, and en-
oled the water department to have
und and quickly repaired bad
reak in the big main.

A Thrilling Spectacle

swell, 1t went off fine,' whis-
pered Tommy, "and you see now
why I did not put you forward
for the part. You probably
would have been camera shy and
DeVore would have thought you
stupid. II there is anything he
cannot sta it is stupidity, and
he probably would never have
given you another chance. -
"Oh, Tommy, I never can learn!
Oh, / never could do 1t with
people shouting at me like that.
l thought you just had to read
your story and get UP and act ii
out the way you thought it
should be acted
Tommy laughed and said: eyes
1t is acted just as the story reads,
hut it's the director who does the
acting.'' And Tommy rushed off.
"But suppose" I said, turning
to Jack Thompson "that the
director tells you to do something
that you wouldn't do in thou
sand years If you were placed in
the circumstances of the hero

''My advice is to follow your
director. OF course a tempera-
mental star, getting six or seven
thousand dollars a week and pro-
tected by contract, might get
away with it and leave the set

While we had been talking the
rehearsal and shooting of some of
the close-ups had been going on.
That settles it," said Jack.
"There'll be no work for us to-
day. At least not until late.''
What do you mean?" l asked,
Surely he is not going to pay all
these people for a whole days
work and not use them"
"He certainly will have to pay
us, Virginia, but evidently he is
not sure Of Ruth Drayton. She is
new. He has never worked with
her before and he can't tell what
she will do"
But think she is doing splen-
didly."
"She is. Stage-technique goes
a great ways"
l sighed as l thought that had
none of 1t.
Usually, Virginia, they would
put off all these close-ups until
when only principals
were called, but he is afraid. Il
think, that she will get out of the
spirit Of it."
