Soon To Take Cast
Off Leg OF Sande,
Injured Jock

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-
Friends and admirers of Earl
Sande, premier rider of race
horses in the United States, will
be glad to learn that he is pro-
crossing nicely.
Mrs. Sam Hildreth said that
he has improved so much that
they expect to take the cast off
of his leg some time next week.
She said that when one applied
slight pressure in the region of
the fracture that Sande did not
complain of pain.
The physicians said that this
was an indication that the in
flammation in the thigh has
subsidized. The weights are still
attached to the leg in order to
prevent it from shrinking.

rain always makes my mind as keel

The intrinsic value of the gift to
the Griffmen's star pitcher will
show the extent of feeling it will
represent. Therefore it will be
worthwhile.
Washington baseball fans want to
show Walter johnson that his eight
cen long years of faithful, some
times heartbrealing, service in the
Nations Capital is appreciated.
They want him to know and feel
in years to come that he held a
place in their hearts not occupied
before by any man.
They desire to pay tribute not
only to the athletic prOWess of the
Cyclone from Kansas, but to Wal

helm, His splendid character is

The applause that greeted this
observation, which Sullivan, one Of
professional baseball's pioneers, pre-.
coded with the remark that in his
opinion johnson was the leading
pitcher of all time, indicated the
type of sentiment that inspired the
testimonial.
Such prowess as Johnson's would
win admiration for any man. But
the feeling of Washington's baseball
bugs for the big pitcher is some
thing more than admiration. He is
in their hearts. Though his pitch
ing days might be over, there will
be regret when Walter pulls out Of
this town.
In a meeting that packed the
New willard cabinet room, Eddie
TaIbert was named chairman.
Thomas f. Flaherty secretary and
Cy Mac Donald treasurer of the
Walter johnson Testimonial.
Today Talbert is busy getting
in line a committee of fifteen lead
| ing citizens, which will complete the
organization. Another meeting will
be held next Thursday night at the
New Willard and the pleasurable
business Of getting together the
lucre viii get under way.
Talbert has been promised wide

FLAGSTAFF NEEDS FIRE PROTECTION

No town or city can hope to figure as an
industrial community of. prominence, nor can
it hope to prosper in the absence of an ade-
quate water supply for the protection Of its
industries. To secure fire protection a town
must be provided with ample water as well
as sufficient force mains and distributing
system to convey the water and deliver it at
proper fire pressures.
Citizens of Flagstaff we'll know that the
present waterworks system is grossly def
cient in all of these particulars. Only few
weeks have passed since fire has caused
Flagstaff to pay an additional penalty for
lack of adequate water facilities. 1t is also
well known to most of us that this same sit
uation during recent years has occurred time
and again
More than forty per cent of the total cost
of any modern Waterworks plant is for the
purpose of fire protection The water re-
quired for fire protection determines the size
of mains and the effective pressure.
Drinking water used is but small frac-
tion of the water required The capacity Of
fire stream should be about $50 gallons per
minute. At this rate, with two or three
streams going, in but a few hours more water
is consumed in fighting the fire than would
be consumed by the town for domestic use in
weeks. To obtain this rate of flow, reser-
voirs force mains and distribution system
must be sufficient to meet fire protection re-
quirements and in addition must supply the
water for domestic needs.
If town is to grow, it should be capable
of supplying most of its needs for water even
in time of fire. Fires may occur at the time
of the peak load or at hours of the day when
water is used at maximum rate.
Not only does the town need to provide for
seasonal fluctuations of water supply by pro-
viding additional reservoir capacity but in
creased pressures must be supplied by inn
proving the distribution system by the
elimination of dead ends in the pipe lines,
taking up few important small inadequate
mains to be replaced by larger pipes of suf-
ficient capacity and by adding large pipe
line to conduct water from the reservoirs
into town at larger pressure.
1t is very important that the street mains
shall be large enough to carry the water
from the supply line to the point of use with
out large pressure loss. Large quantities of
water can not flow through small pipes with
The Coconino sun., 1924-12-19

out undue pressure loss, due to friction of
water on the sides of the pipe caused by the
high VeocitieS. Hence it is necessary, in or
der to provide ample fire protection, to carry
large line from the point where the supply
line enters the town to the business district,
SO as not to restrict the flow For this pur-
pose a 12-inch line has been planned on
Humphrey street because this street is un-
paved and because Leroux street already has
two lines on it. This line is carried through
10 Phoenix avenue and a cross connection
made at Birch to Leroux so that it acts as
the main feeder to the entire system.
The pressures over the entire distribution
system were carefully tested by the engi-
neerS, also the presSureS and discharge when
a hydrant was opened at different points in
the city In numerous places there is no
residual pressure when the hydrant is open
ed. This means that the pipe lines supplying
these hydrants were so small that the fric-
tion in the line became so great that very
little water could be obtained at the hydrant
and at no pressure.
Hydrants should not be installed on any
thing less than a fOur-inch line and in many
cities they make it practice to use nothing
less than a six-inch line where hydrants are
connected. The large amount of two-inch
and three-inch pipe in the system make the
pressure loss extremely large so that even
for domestic service poor pressure is eXper-
fenced in all parts of town during the time of
maximum demand and hydrants connected to
these lines are practically useless. Even a
fire engine cannot draw water through long
line of small pipe. The entire west portion
of the town, the central south portion and
a small district of the north and east of the
business district are very poorly served and
have practically no fire protection at the
present time.
These conditions will be remedied by the
proposed improvements A higher fire pres
sure throughout the town will be secured. A
marked reduction in insurance rates will be
obtained. Similar improvements in other
cities have in many cases more than saved
the interest on the bonds by the reduction of
insurance rates. besides giving greater Sc
curity from fires The Arizona Rating bu-
reau has already promised the town of Flag
staff Is per cent reduction of insurance
rates in all of the residential district if the
proposed waterworks improvements are add
ed, and still greater reductions are probable.

PROFESSORS PROBE
STATE UNIVERSITY

A university should be slow to dis
miss any professor when dismissal
may be even remotely attributed to
outside pernicious influence" the As
sociation of University Professors de-
clared last week at Cambridge, Mass,
in making public its report on an in
vestigation of conditions at the Uni
versity of Arizona, covering the two
years of President Cloyd Marvin's adj
ministration.
The institution, the report adds,
should prefer to retain mediocre
professor rather than to give an APP
pearance of molesting academic inde-
pendence and freedom.
The report is concerned chiefly with
the dismissal of A. r. Vinson, profess
sor of agricultural chemistry, the dis
missal of Professor Dorsette Thomas.
of the department of home economics
and the resignation of Professor
Charles A. Turrell of the department
of Spanish.
Charges that the copper interests of
Arizona, which are said to pay large
proportion of the state taxes were in
strumental in bringing about dismis-
sal of Professor Vinson, were investi-
gated by the association. Testimony
which Professor Vinson gave in suit
arising from the alleged injury of
smelter fumes to agricultural crops
was said to have been adverse to the
copper mines. In regard to Professor
Vinson, the investigating committee
expressed the belief that his short
comings in carrying through his ex-

Professor Thomas dismissal and
Professor Turrell's resignation came
after long terms of service and We're
caused by the sudden appointment Of
new department heads and the reor-
ganization of departments, the COM
mittee found.
University of Arizona authorities
seemed somewhat amazed when they
read of the mention in the report of
the Association of University Profess
sors of the dismissal from the insti-
tuition of Vinson, Dorsette Thompson
and Charles A. Turrell
1t was stated that these men were
released from the university in pur-
suance of a program of economy laid
down by President C. H. Marvin, soon
after he took charge at Tucson.
Charges that the copper interests of
the state were merested in having
Vinson removed were characterized as
ridiculous. The information at the
disposal of the association was turned
