n,ent of our city has fallen to such a
low estate that Its official governing
body will dare persist in such an atti-
tuds II the Chief Magistrate of the city
will call their attention 10 the facts and
will urge upon them the performance
OF their plain and long neglected duty.
This Is what | now respectfully ask
you to do. especially In view OF your
veto OF the bill that would have granted
relief"
How a ruling OF the Corporation Coun-
sci has operated TO the disadvantage OF
the taxpayers also was explained yes
terday There are two distinct types
OF water meters in use in New York.
One is known as the positive displace-
ment, or disc meter. which registers
every drop of water used. and the larger.
propeller or velocity type, installed in
large buildings.
There Is, however. a newer type OF
meter that combines both principles.
When the pressure passes q certain point
the propeller principle again Is invoked
automatically in place OF the disc. with
the result that at no time Is there any
now not registered. This meter is in
use in several OF the large cities of the
country. but despite its universal salts
faction, it is not in use in New York.
The reason given is that the manufac-
turers have been discouraged with
the procedure necessary TO get approval
by the Board OF Aldermen. To get
around this some time ago. II was
learned. they sought to have the new
meter approved automatically because
the two principles employed have been
individually sanctioned. but the Corpora
ton Counsers Office held that this could
not follow.
How Saving Could BE Made.
The saving Ii Is claimed would accrue
To New York taxpayers through it's adop-
ton Is because OF the leaks" that con-
stantly are present in the larger. pro-
peller type OF meters. when small
quantity OF water. not enough to regis
ter. passes through for several hours.
What this might amount 10 is shown
from the fact that. with average press
ure OF forty pounds, ITO gallons of water
would pass through an orifice one thirty
second of an inch in diameter In twen-
ty-four hours, go gallons through a
leak of one-sixteenth of an inch. while
a hole an eighth OF an inch would let
1900 gallons escape registering every
day
In large office buildings or apartments.
II was pointed out, where there might
be fifty or a hundred tiny streams
trickling from faucets every night, the
aggregate volume not registered on a
large meter might be enormous. The
proof of this theory, manufacturers OF
the improved meter say. is seen in the
per capita consumption in various cities
of the country. Buffalo was cited as
poorly metered" city. There the con-
sumption Is approximately 800 gallons
per capita per day. But in cities where
the improved meter is in general use
the daily consumption was said TO aver
age somewhere between seventy and
eighty gallons a day
New York city is using approximately
130 gallons per capita per day, of which
somewhere between one-tifth and one
quarter is supplied from pumping sta
tions at Croton and on Long Island.

voted in favor of letting the new forty

The discussion centred about the
question OF whether the new schedule
should begin the first fiscal week or

By JESSIE ROBERTS
THE TRAINED NURSE.

NURSING is going to be a greater
opportunity for the right woman
than ever before in the history of
medicine.
There is going to be better regula-
| zion of working hours and an advance
In salary. For the demand is exceeding
the supply and inducements TO take
up the profession must necessarily
grow more attractive.
Ii you want to be a nurse it is your
duty to take the training, for you are
wanted, and your work waits for Won.
In some of our states there are no
laws making the registration of nurses
compulsory. Because of this nm
trained or partly trained women COM
pete with the trained nurse for private
work. Laws must be passed that will
alter these things for the better. The
Red Cross is hoping to demonstrate
the need of the properly trained nurse
so strongly that every community will
De led to demand a proper registration
law and a certain degree of training
for its nurses.
In choosing your training school, be
sure that you select a first-class hos
pital. You will get infinitely better
treatment and your diploma will count
for far more.
Nursing is hard work. but for the
woman with vocation it is work that
she loves. A graduate nurse is a val
liable member Of the community. Her
standing Is secure, and she can be
sure of a good income. In her pro-
fessional life she is thrown with men
and women of high caIiber. If you |
have any leaning that way, it is worth |
much effort to get started. =

A PLACE TO TIE.

I'VE noticed afioat and a-tramping.
L I've seen it on river and land,
The thing that the most
You need is a post
To tie to when night is at hand.
Some sort Of an anchor to hold Won
Some hawser that never will fail.
Some place you can tie
Till the storm has gone by,
10 help you to ride out the gale.
So many go foOlishly drifting
While rapids are roaring below,
AflCat on the tide
Without compass or guide.
Till down to disaster they go:
The need of us all is an anchor,
A painter to tie to the shore.
Some place to make fast
Till the tempest is past
And the waters are rolling no more
So many aflOat on the river.
The turbulent river of life,
Have only their own
Poor resistance alone
To conquer the trouble and strife.
A fellow needs something to tie to.
His trail DER The sea or the sod.
Some friend that is true
Who will carry him through
A woman, a pal, or a God.

Water Once Mystery.

Up to 1871 water meant either moth.
ing at all or else a great mystery to
the scientists. In that year Henry
Cavendish, teacher of chemistry, dis
covered that 1t really consisted of a
number of gases that had been chilled
into liquid form.
1t remained for the French sayant
Lavoisier to bring about, in 1888, the
decomposition of water into oxygen
and hydrogen, and seven years later
two other Britons improved on his
method. They were Nicholson and
Carlisle, who succeeded in separating
the two elements by means of the vol.
