SUPPLY OF BABIES
FOR ADOPT|ONNOT
EQUAL To DEMAND

The state child welfare board can
not supply the demand for babies for
adoption, according to Mrs. HI. A.
Guild, secretary of the state board,
on her return yesterday from Tucson
where she made an inspection of the
Arizona Children's Home where IL Of
the states wards are at present be-
ing cared for. There are only two
babies among the dozen children at
the institution and those two will be
removed soon into permanent homes.
After the call for babies girls are
preferred. Mrs. Guild said that the
difficulty in placing children comes
with the older boys.
The secretary was particularly
pleased with conditions at the home
where she says, the youngsters are
being splendidly cared for in home
like atmosphere.
The Home is established on the
desert where the kiddies have plenty
OF sunlight and fresh air and are near
a public school where the boys and
girls Of school age have educational
advantages. The children are only
placed in the Home temporarily un-
til their own homes are reconstructed,
foster homes found or are adopted.
While in Tucson Mrs. Guild at
tended a meeting OF the Southern
Arizona District Federation Of clubs
composed OF the affiliated clubs Of
Santa Cruz, Cochise, Pima and Pinal
counties. Six members of county
child welfare boards and two mem
bers Of the state board were repre-
sented in the gathering which Mrs.
Guild addressed on the subject of
child welfare, outlining in her discus
sion what the state board expects in
the way Of cooperation from club
women. Mrs. Guild also spoke before
the Tucson Woman's club discussing
club work.
In her southern tour OF inspection
Mrs. Guild visited Nogales where a
Joint meeting was held of the county
welfare board. the board of super
visors and the Associated Charities
in the interest of the work. In Yuma
county she conferred with Judge In
ghram and the county board. and in
Pima county with Judge Pattee.

of the lower grades in this staple
length could be had as low as 80
cents. Apparently the controlling
factors who hold the bulk of this
kind OF cotton are not the least wor-
ried over the outlook for marketing
their crop, and that despite the re-
ports OF a probable increase in the
Pima acreage to be planted in 1922

hours. The 3S-inch wood line has a
capacity of 25,000,000 gallons per "A
hours. 1t is anticipated that when
the average consumption of the city
is 100000 gallons per "a hours that
there will be periods during the "a
hour consumption at which the peak
demand may reach as high as 25, 900, :
600. In this case the additional water
VIII come from the reservoir. This
supply Of l5000,000 would adequately
take care of population of $4,000,
based upon consumption of 200 gall
Ions per capita per day. This is an
extremely high consumption, and is
equaled by very few cities in the
United States. / have no doubt but
when the city reaches the population
Of 10000 that the next step in water
supply will be to meter the entire
town, at which time the per capita
consumption can very easily be re-
duced to at least $50 gallons, and
thereby extend the life of this present
supply until the town grows to be a
city Of 100000.
From the sand trap north we have
laid approximately 1900 feet of five
foot inside diameter reinforced con-
crete pipe. All OF this has tight
joints with the exception of the upper
1900 feet, which is laid in the water
bearing gravels, and is now producing
the present flow, amounting to ap-
proximately 100000 gallons per "a
hours. AS we continue north with
laying our intake pipe the level OF the
underground water above the same
increases, so that fully believe that
when we have laid 1000 more feet Of
this intake line we will have devel-
oped, at that time, our full capacity
OF 100000 gallons.
When you look at the method by
which the intake pipe is being in
stalled, you will see that It is not TO
be unexpected that the first water to
be developed should have a higher
bacterial count than it viii later
This for the reason that in doing this
work in an open cut we find that the
top soils, which contain the decayed
organic vegetable matter, cave in, and
become mixed and intermingled With
the water bearing material. This will
undoubtedly take some little time to
leach out. We have every reason TO
believe that it will not require great
length Of time to do so. Our analyses
along this line have been proving
very satisfactory.
1t will probably take approximately
so to 30 days to lay the remaining
portion of the intake pipe, IL we are
able to proceed with the work with as
good progress as we have been max
ing this month. The analysis of wa
ter in the shallow we'll at our camp
was exceptionally satisfactory. This
water is taken from the same supply
and the same level from which we
derive the present city supply, which
clearly indicates that the sand filters
from the river to the well are work.
ing perfectly.
The cost OF the redwood pipe line,
together with all structures, includ-
ing the excavation and backfilling,
has been approximately $40 per
lineal foot. representing total cost
OF $l,164, 10000. To date we have ex-
pended approximately $292;000.oO on
the intake work, of which amount
$114.735.SS represents the cost of all
of the reinforced concrete pipe. Re
garding the chlorination, it will cost
about $500 per day to operate this,
including the cost of the chlorine gas.

Tightening TO those who have not had
an opportunity. to make a personal
inspection of the system:
In making the trip from Phoenix
TO the intake. the first feature is the
end OF the 3S-inch wood line at
Twelfth street and Mcdowell road.
Here 1t Is proposed to divide the
water supply. taking approximately
one half of the present city water
plant and there connecting with the
distributing system; the other half
is taken west on Mcdowell road to
Seventh avenue, south on Seventh
avenue to Roosevelt. west on Roose-
welt to Ninth avenue. south on Ninth
avenue to Washington, and east on
Washington to Seventh avenue. con-
Meeting all the important large mains
and thus establishing a point of dis
tribution at an equal distance on
the west side Of town to the present
water plant, located on the east side.
This has the effect Of doubling the
capacity of the mains in the heart
Of town, because in case of a heavy
draught Of water in the business sec
tion, the supply is diverted to the
central poiHts from both the Ninth
street and Ninth avenue distributing
centers. This fact, in addition TO the
recent improvements made in the
present distributing system. by the
installation of large amount of
6-inch, S-inch and 12-inch cast iron
pipe, will be a great factor in equal
izing the pressure throughout the
entire town.
From Twelfth street and Mcdowell
road, the 3S-inch redwood line runs
east to Sixteenth street, thence north
on Sixteenth TO Thomas road and
thence east on Thomas road TO a

The demand for grapefruit has
been so great the past week due to
the freeze in other citrus growing
sections of the country that the local

fruit crop was only slightly injured
by the freeze due to the fact that
most of the fruit is on the inside Of
the tree near the bottom and was
protected.

above the city, and upon which the
city proposes to construct ultimately
storage reservoir. At this point, at
the present time, we have Temporal
rily installed a Wallace Tiernan pu-
rification chlorinator. The installa-
ton of this apparatus is as much a
preventive as anything else and is
an insurance against a possibility of
contamination. especially during the
remaining period at which construc-
ton work is being carried on at the
intake. This chlorinator is, at the
present day. quite universally in use
In 1908 there were approximately 75
chlorinated water supplies in the
United States. In 1920. there were
approximately 1900. 1908 the typhoid
death rate, in 81 cities of over 100000
population, was approximately q per
100000. In 1920, 4 per 100 900. There
are six of these chlorinated water
supplies in use in the state of Ari-
zona.
The length Of the 3S-inch line is
approximately six and one half
miles. From the reservoir the line
continues east. begging 36 inches in
diameter, to the new Cross cut canal,
at which point we have a standpipe,
which is safety device whereby. IL
1t becomes desirable to close the wa
ter from the line into town, the same
Will automatically discharge through
this standpipe and flow into the new
Cross cut canal.
From this point the line continues
east to the end of Thomas road, on
the Indian reservation, and then
across in q northeasterly direction
to a point on the desert approx
mately one mile beyond Evergreen,
where we have a 40-foot standpipe.
This also acts as an air valve and a
relief valve. We have just west of
this standpipe a. 36-inch control
valve. SO that in case we desire to
look over any section of pipe between
this point and the reservoir, the same
may be closed and all the water will
discharge out of the top OF this
standpipe.
Thence line continues further in a
northeasterly direction across the
Arizona canal and round the point Of
Granite Reef, on up past the forks OF
the Verde and Salt rivers. thence go
ing north from this fork to the sand
trap, or point Of intake for the wood
line
4 You will note along the line occa-
sionally a great many small air
valves located on top OF same. These
are FOR the purpose OF relieving the
line OF air when the same is being
filled, and also allowing air to enter
the line when sudden rush or draw
Of water would cause a vacuum
therein.
After passing the forkssbetween the
Verde and the Salt rivers you will
come upon another 36-inch regulat-
ing valve. BY closing this valve the
water will flow out Of the sand trap
and all discharge directly into the
river.
The sand trap is merely a small
building which provides for the juno
tion between the concrete intake pipe
and the 36-inch wooden line.
