BY JOHN L.. MARTIN.

Maj. NJ. G. Tyler. District engineer
and author of the Great Falls water
and power development report which
| is before Congress. and f. e. Hardy.
superintendent of the filtration plant
i the conduit to Great Falls for close
up view of some of the hazardous
conditions upon which Washington
depends for it's water supply.
What the trip revealed is a situa-
ton more acute than can be pictured
by any report-a city Of nearly half
a million souls relying entirely for
it's water upon q sixty-year-old bricF
tunnel, that any layman can see may
go out of commission at any time.
This tunnel is nine miles long. is
delivering 100000 gallons of water
a day more than its designers intend
ed il should carry when it was new
and cannot be unwatered for repairs.
since ii is required to operate con-
stantly to meet the city's needs.
Break Would Bring Disaster.
Army engineers say it is a splendid
piece OF construction or il would have
succumbed to the strain long ago.
But break may occur at any time,
with serious consequences to the
capital. they warn.
If Congress at the present session
be a race between the best enginee ring
skill Of the Army and the ravages of
time to safeguard the apital against
complete interruption of its water
service.
To buid a new water line from Great
Falls will require nearly three years.
In that time the existing conduit must
stagger along under It's heavy load
without the aid of repairs and Wash
ington must depend upon Providence
to save it from a water famine, en-
gineers who have gone over the situa-
tion without exception agree.
Impressed by the Army's warnings,
deficiency estimates just submitted to
Congress. have asked for an appro-
priation with which to begin work on
new conduit. Although Congress
provided for the emergency by at
taching a conduit item to the Army
pected to retain the item in the Army
measure to be passed at mis- SEES

Immediately for a new water suppl !
cannot be too strongly impressed upon
Congress.
The Tyler plan, I learned yester-
day, not only will give Washington
an assured water supply, which is
the vital thing sought, but will in
crease the water pressure in certain
areas, particularly the second high
area, and reduce the cost of operating
the pumping station at LIST and Chan
ming streets by relieving the station
Of the duty of filing the Brightwood
and Reno reservoirs. The Brightwood
reservoir will be abandoned.
Under this plan a portion OF the
water coming into Dalecarlia reser-
voir through the proposed new con-
duit will be filtered on the Dalecarlia
reservation and then pumped into a
reservoir to be built back of the
bureau Of standards. which will take
the place of the Brightwood reservoir
At Brightwood there is an elevation
of 276 feet. whereas the proposed new
reservoir will have an elevation Of
1926 feet. which will make for in
creased pressure in the second high
area.

Colored residents of the District,
appreciative of the efforts for COM
munity betterment by the Instruc-
tive Visiting Nurse Society. have
formed special organization among
themselves to further the campa ign
of the 1. V. n. S. to raise $4,000 to
maintain and enlarge its health con-
servation work. The campaign is to
start April "a and last one week.
Mrs. Mary Church Terrell. wife of
Judge Robert H. Terrell of the Mu-
nicipal Court, has been designated by
Mrs Corcoran Thorn, general chair
man for the whole campaign. as
hartman of this cooperating COM
inittee. which already shows evidence
of great enthusiasm in the fund
raising movement.
The regard in which colored resi-
dents here hold the Instructive Visit
ing Nurse Society is a natural one,
when il is considered that of the
$4,000 people in the District over
one fourth are coiored, and the pro-
portion served by the society is much
higher than that.
Want Two More COlOred Nurses.
The participation of the latter in
the campaign was their own idea. The
d IL =
ciety already includes two colored
nurses. whose efforts on behalf of
their race have gained the respectful
admiration of all who know them. and
the colored citizens benefting by
their attentions have expressed the
determination of raising enough
money to add at least two more col
ored nurses for a year
Inasmuch as nearly half the patients
colored nurses can by no means
: handle them all, the white nurses
serving among both white and col
ored alike. The campaign slogan Of
the latter will be 1.-TWO more colored
nurses for Washington according to
Mrs. Terrell. who was one of the first
two women appointed to the board of
education and who served eleven
years.
"Our real goal" says Mrs. Terrell,
will be to raise one-third of the
whole sum needed by the society to
continue and expand its work and We
are confident the colored people of
Washington will give that amount.
Our ministers have promised to take
up special collections in the churches
and we have been promised that a
number of organizations Will collect
funds"
Group Leaders Named.
At the first meeting of the organ
ization at the home of Mrs. Terrell,
1915 S street northwest. Mrs. Hayden
Johnson and Mrs. Ortho Peters were
appointed vice chairmen and Mrs.
Emmett Scott section chairman. The
following group leaders, each TO have
supervision of some separate activity
and each to be aided by five assist
ants, were named: Mrs. Eva Boar
Mrs Arthur L. Curtis. Mrs. Louisa
Cabaniss. Mrs. James c. Bowling, Mrs.

With the two branches of the govern
ment of the same political party, the
task VIII be easier.
Yet the big job of the commissioner
of internal revenue is not prohibition
enforcement, but administration of
the income tax laws. The next Con-
gress viii go before the people for re-
election a gear from next autumn and
will have to answer on questions of
taxation. What the business men of
the country are interested in is an
efficient administrator in the internal
revenue office. and most of them do
not care in the slightest whether the
appL intee is wet" or dry"
Authority Restricted.
AS matter of fact. the actual en-
forcement of prohibition has been in
the hands of a prob bition commits
sioner, who is subordinate of the
commissioner of internal revenue, and
there are So many regulations which
restrict the activities of the bureau
that the opportunity for discretionary
action is not as great as il has been.
In any event, the chance for wrong
full use of the commissioners Office
IS very much, exaggerated. The job
is SO big, and there are so many peo-
pie working in the bureau, that no
conspiracy to evade the prohibition
laws could be carried on without a
knowledge of it by the general pub
lie, and then the influence of public
sentiment is always powerful
enough to bring the matter to the
attention of the President himself if
necessary.
The National Capital is expecting
an appointment of missioner of
internal revenue in a few days IL
Secretary of the Treasury Mellon has
his way the country will get an able
administrator. If the politicians are
supreme the job will become part
of the spoiis of the campaign and
the personnel of the internal revenue
offices throughout the nation will
be political, just as was very largely
the case under the democratic ad-
ministration.
