SLIGHT INCREASE
IN D. c. WATER USE
Per Capita Consumption for
Fiscal Year Two Gallons
More Than 1922.

Consumption of water in Wash
ington increased slightly during the
last fiscal year. according to the an
nual report of Supt. J. S. Garland,
submitted to the Commissioners to-
day.
The mean daily consumption for the
fiscal year was 63,9S2,461 gallons.
equivalent to daily per capita use
of LAP gallons, based on a population
of 100000
For the preceding twelve months
the mean daily average was 63,3Os,230
gallons, or 140 gallons per inhabi-
tant.
The amount of water consumed has
been climbing steadily in recent years
and for time caused considerable
uneasiness in view of the fact the
city had only one supply line from
Great Falls.
Work Is Being Pushed.
However. work Is going forward
rapidly on the new conduit and within
a few more years the National Capt.
tai will have an ample supply.
Mr.. Garland tells the Commission
ers that before the end of the pres
ent year one large government build
ing will discontinue the use of ap-
proximately 100000 gallons of fill
tered water day for condensing
purposes: This saving of filtered
water will be made possible by the
erection of a plant that will provide
that government building with light,
heat and power.
The staff Of workmen who are con-
stantly going about the citv with
pitometerS in search of underground
water waste detected and stopped
leakage totalin& $4,000 gallons a
day last year
Have Individual Complaints.
While this was less than the leak
age detected during the preceding
year, the falling off was due to the
fact that some of these operators had
to devote their time to investigating
individual complaints
A total of 169 Individual leaks, av-
eraging 4.468 gallons each per day,
were found. The chief source of leak
age was the lead-caulked joints A
averaging 6.S15 gallons each per day.
The need for larger appropriations
for the development of the water dis
tribution system is emphasized by the
report.
Fund Shortage Hampers.
THE department wishes to call at
extensions must be denied to isolated
sections, sparSely built up, on ac
count of lack of funds to provide
for these cases. 1t is now the prac-
tice to allow the owners the priv
ilege of laying small services at their
own expenses. This is not consider
ed good practice. because no fire pro-
lection is possible"
During the past fiscal year the de-
partment laid fifteen miles of new
water mains. making a total of GA
miles of mains now in use.
Mr.. Garland's report shows that
a
homes in Washington are now me-
tered. The total number of premises
is 67567, leaving only 10,112 un-
metered.

THE NEGRO MIGRATION

We have heard much, for the last 80 years, of the
migratons of peoples, and it has been the practice
to compare the journeyngs of Europeans to this side
of the Atlantic to those tremendous movements of
the North European tribes which wrought the undo
ing of Rome and made Britain England and Gaul
France. Perhaps because of this we have neglected
significant movement here in our own land.
Since the Civil War the negro has been free to
travel and reside wherever he chose, and there has
been a steady northward drift. Yet half century
after Appomatox when the black population has
doubled nine-tenths of the nations negro population
was still in the South. 1t only during the world
War, and n the succeeding years, that migration
northward assumed large proportions. And it brought
change in work and manner of living no less than
in general locality.
In the South the great majority of the blacks have
always been farmers farm hands. When they come
north they seek the cities and stay there In Michigan,
for instance the urban population has ncreas
ed 1926 per cent since 1910 although the states actual
numerical gain is hardly $4,000. Reports from other
states with highly industrialized sections show SIM
liar conditions, while in Mississippi, which has
lost 900 colored inhabitants within this period the
urban negroes have increased by 34 per cent in spite
of steady increases in cultivated acreage.
The Norths demand for unskilled laborers is the
easy explanation of the drift across Mason and
Dixons line but the tendency toward urban life
in the agricultural South cannot be without its
economic otherwise While the nation is studying
its immigration problems it we'll afford to con-
slider this migration phenomenon Also

RIVAL "ISMS" IN RUSSIA

visitor to Russian explains the present bus-
ness situation there rather simply. The Soviet gov
ernment still maintains absolute control over
public uttes-raroads, street cars, electric light
plants water works, etc.-with much of the mineral,
forest and oil lands. The export trade too, is gov
ernment monopoly. But domestic trade in Russia is
now free. There are government stores and private
stores, competing with each other The private stores
are heavily taxed, but able to hold their own by
superior management and personal interest Almost
every kind of merchandise he says, is obtainable.
Here is an interesting example, big scale of
Socialism and Capitalism operating side by side. The
former having failed in its pure form of Bolshevism
has had to yield little by little in order to keep the
economic machinery running at all and save the
nation from ruin and starvation. The great compro-
mise goes steadily. And is not necessary to
sumo that either side will win the other, as
complete national policy.
Capital has already in agriculture, and seems
destined win generally in manufacture trade and
finance, but Socialism represented by the present
policy may survive in public utilities and
in the handling of some important public resources.
If so, then Russia may end by being just little
more Sociastic than some respectable European ma
tions In any event, Bolshevism is a thing
of the past, however its oratorical defenders may
pretend to be keeping it alive.

MORE PLAY, BETTER CHILDREN

The Playground and Recreation Association of Am
erica decided recently to check up playground ben
efits with reference to juvenile delinquency 1t sent

than 900 replies. few of the facts disclosed are
worth study.
In one district in st. Louis the establishment of
playground followed by Is per cent reduction
in the number Of juvenile court cases. The manager
of light company in Duluth reported 81 per cent
decrease in the breakage of street electric lights on
Halloween when the city held municipal program

In st. Paul. rs boys saved from the reformatory
and from repeating their offenses, owed their happy
fortune to the activities of playground directors
Yakima, Wash, reports decrease of so per cent IN
its child delinquency since the coming of the play
grounds. Newark, n j. has a recreation hall in
which 68 basketball teams have their games, and the
Judge of its juvenile court has much less to do
than formerly that he is considering ending that
branch of court work
And so the story goes These are only few out
of sos cities maintaining one or more play CEN
