New Stand Pipe

The Gardiner water district is to
erect a stand pipe on it's land at Iron
Mine hill in the early spring. The
present system base been in service
for 40 years and the load has become
too great to give the required pres
sure and service particularly on up
per Brunswick avenue, High Holborn
street and cross streets in that vi
cinity. The trustees therefore deem
it wise in order to give better service
and fire protection. The new pipe
line will run up West street to the
stand pipe and from there to the
junction Of Brunswick avenue and
High Holborn street. where it will
cut into the old pipe line with an
automatic valve. There will be two
new pumps installed at the pumping
station to take care of this new sys-
tenn. Each system will be independ-
ent of the other but in case of a
serious fire or any serious accident
they can be tied in by the automatic
valves.
The new stand pipe will have Il
capacity Of 100000 gallons of water
and will increase the pressure at
High Holborn street from q to 20
pounds. In taking off this section
from the present system it will
greatly increase the pressure of the
remainder.
The contracts have. been let for the
pumps. pipe and stand pipe and work
will be started in the early spring.

Philippines Losing Old
Tradition From Spain

Washington. Feb. 2S-UBy \. ID-
American occupation NJ the Philip
pine Islands for a period Of less than
% years has virtually eliminated the
Spanish language as wei as Spanish
traditions, from the archipaelagos ac-
cording to Manuel Eoxas. head of the
Philippine commission now in Wash
ington working for independence.
Centuries of Spanish control had
made Castillian the tongue of bust
ness, industry, the courts and social
and religious life throughout the is
lands. To-day. in considerably less
language and the tradition. are ire
mendously on the decline. Mr.. Roxas
said recently before the Senate COM
mittee on territories and insular
possessions. The Spanish influence
has receded and is no longer Of i'm
portance in the life of the people.
Whereas. the Japanese in their
country have adopted English as a
Commercial language" the speaker
declared, I'VE have gone farther ana
taken 1t into our homes We use
English in our social life, and so
great has been the spread of Eng
lish in the islands that we conducted
our election campaigns almost en-
tirely in English. Even the Spanish
priests grant the advantage of the
English language and the American
tradition. and bow before it. Wheth-
er We are Independent or not. Eng
lish Will be the language of the is
lands, not so much for it's CONNER
cial value as for its power as a uni
Tying influence, as means over
coming the dispersion of our people
through the speaking of dialects.
Where once Spanish books had
large sale in the Philippines today
the sales are almost nothing. I. my
self. for example, have not read a
Spanish book in Is years."

Fine Local Talent

The Junior Ministries given in the
High School auditorium last evening
before a crowded house will go down
in the history Of the social events of

class of rs presented a show worthy
of professionals. The affair had a
director who has already made a
name for himself in the black face
work. George "Hunker" Desmond,
and he took one of the leading parts
in last nights performance. Miss
Rachel Ripley of the High school
faculty supervised the show, and the
financial and advertising committee
| consisted of MadaIine Rellis, Marie
Williams. Eleanor Kelley, and Eliza
beth Harmon.
The first scene opened with Adel-
bert Del Danforth trying to uncer-
stand letter written to him by his
brother, and as 1t was beyond his
comprehension, he had to give It up,
and just as he completed his amusing
monolougle, Elizabeth Caravan, Eliz-
abeth Harmon, and Elizabeth Cover
rushed in on him with the sorrowfui
tidings that there were no end men
for their Ministries, SO four were TN
ported, and four better would be
hard to find, "Waliy" Stonier. Hun
ker" Desmond, "Tedie" Votoe and
Harold McGoff kept the audience in
laughter with not so much their
jokes but their antics during the
musical selections.

he was equally as good, and his at

pite his efforts to be foolish he could
not hide tho fact that his voice is
really one of the best, and he is fully
as good at songs of a deeper mean

audience with two violin solos. and
the interlude of the more serious
music was well placed. Henderson
is but a Sophomore, and has much
promise for future years.
Harold McGoff then gave Down on

Senior class sang Mother in Ire

applause was deafening and poor
