LADY T NOT TO
SPEAK ON NEXT VISIT

NEW YORK, June THE next
time Lady Aston visits America, she
intends t make no speeches. That
was. what she confided to reporters
before sailing for England.
Few public speakers, or workers
of any sort, ire ever keyed to the
high tension with which
Lady Aston seems charged when ad-
dressing an audience. Her nervous
ness may not have been so appar-
emit to listening crowds at her forty
odd public speaking appearances in
this country during April and the
first three weeks Of May. But if
one sat near her, the eye quickly
observed that she necessarily wrung
her hands behind her back and ran
her fingers over and under her jew
eled bracelets, the muscles of her
arms and shoulders %quivering from
nervousness.
Somehow the strain never seemed
to affect the clarity of her speak
ing tones. In fact, her talks to
crowds, no matter what their size,
were in a manner friendly and in
formal. Always she was breaking
away from her prepared notes to
start a sentence with the low, con-
versational now" or well"
But when the speech was done,
the first woman member of the
House of Commons was tagged out
and intensely That. too,
seemed never to ruffle her smooth,
smiling demeanor, nor did her ex-
preston reveal fatigue.
Lord Aston knew how high-strung
the Lady Commoner really was, and
he made it his job to keep her from
talking toe much to friends just be-
fore or after a speech. Nancy.
Nancy" he would call in warning
whenever she pitched straight from
a speech into chats to which she
seemed to give just as much energy.
Reporters seated Immediately in
the rear of the speakers dias when
Lady Aston gave her farewell ad-
dress noticed that her shoulders
suddenly deepened to a pink flush
as she got up to talk. Then. when
her message had zone over, and
there remained only the two closing
paragraphs. the tension was relieved
and the blush faded from her skin.

WATER SUPPLY
rs MADE BAD
Oil From Boulevard Gets in
Grant City Wells and Makes
People III

ToTTENvILLE, June 7:-Con-
sumefs of water from Dongan Hills
to T~ottenville yesterday and still
this morning were up in arms
against the water being supplied by
the city to residents of this section
which was unfit for human con-
sumption and is making children
and. grown-ups Ill.
Early in the afternoon people on
this end of the island began TO
notice that the water had a peculiar
taste and was nauseating to drink.
Ia number of reports have come IN
where children and particularly
babies were made i'll before 1t was
discovered that the water was bad.
1t was thought at first that some-
thing had been put into the water
to purify II but when Commissioner
James Vail, of the Department OF
Water Supply for the borough. was
called on the telephone last night
he offered the explanation n a OIL
that had been spread on the South
field boulevard Saturday had been
washed into the wells at Grant City
by the heavy rains of Monday and
yesterday. This oil gave the water
the taste of carbolic from the a
oil preparation spread on the road.
Commissioner Vail as soon as
notified of the condition OF the
water had those pumps stopped at
the Grant City pumping station and
substituted others to pump into the
mains on this end of the island.
Employees of the water department
were out late last night opening up
FIRE hydrants in an effort to clear
the mains of the water. , People
were unable to have tea or coffee
for supper last night because of not
being able to get water for that
Many found places whers
wells were still being used and these
were almost run dry because OF the
heavy drain upon them by people IN
the vicinity where they were situat-
ed.
At the Mission Of the Immaculate
Virgin, Mt. Loretto, where there are
ebcut 1900 boy and girl inmate
found 1t a great hardship to be
without water last night. This place
depends entirely upon the city
water.
The plant of the Hadkins Bottling
>company in Totenville and that of
the Prince Bay Bottling Company
at pleasant Plains were unable to do
any bottling yesterday because OF
the condition of the water and were
partly closed down for the day.
Commissioner Vail expects that the
water will clear today and every
thing will be all right again within
a short time. Consumers of water
on this end have been of h opinion
that they were drinking Catskill
water, bat this 1t Is said has never
reached this end of the island. the
Tottenville water works, which had
supplied good water here for some
time, after consolidation has been
closed for the past several years,
other than to start up for emer
.gency purposes when the supply. al
the other pumping station has be-
come low.
