Norfolk, Va, Dec. 3~.-Showing a list
of about Is degrees to starboard, the Old
Dominion steamer Jefferson arrived at
her Norfolk pier at 7:45 O'Clock last night
about ten hours late on her trip down
the coast from New York.
The vessel ran into the northeast gale
that swept the coast Wednesday night
and for ten hours was subjected to a
terrific flashing by high seas. The wind
reached a velocity of more than sixty
miles at midnight Wednesday and the
cargo shifted to the starboard as the
ship was tossed about. One passenger

POND SPRING WATER.
Analysis Shows Slight Pollution, but
Not Considered Dangerous.

1Josi,; Il II HdS re-
Health Officer Woolrurr 30. ~
SVtNed report from the State depars-
ment At health on an analysis Of
water from Poha spring. The
bacteriological examination showed
the presence of small amount OF
pollutional bacteria. The chemical
examination, however, showed practi-
cally no evidence OF organic pollu-
ton, and Director Campbell, VINO
makes the report, suggests that It is
possible the bacteria may come from
water running back into the spring.
He says, further, that, while there
are not enough bacteria present for
him to consider the water dangerous,
yet it would be greatly improved If
good water-tight curbing of con-
crete were placed over the spring,
thus removing the Qnfavorable con-
dition and eliminating any suspicion
of danger.
Health Officer Woodruff believes
it is entirely practicable to SO recon-
struct the container at the spring as
to make it real ornament, an ad-
vertisement for the city, and per-
petual delight to auto tourists, as
we'll as to the home people. He sug-
gests that the money for this might
be raised by popular subscription, or
the work done by the city govern
ment.
Health officer Woodruff has also
received reports on four samples of
water taken from different points
on Branch Pond stream-No. l from
the outlet of Branch pond; No. 2,
from near the wooden mill site No.
3, from above the bridge in the Flood
district, where it has been suggested
pollution might enter the stream,
and No 4, from below the same
bridge
All these samples show the pres
ence of colon bacilli, that at the out
let of the pond showing the least, the
other three samples showing slight
ly more, and all about the same. For
a better understanding of the diff
ference, it may be explained that
from each of the samples are taken
five cubic centimeters of water. OF
sample No. 1, three of the five &C
samples showed colon bacilli, while
of the samples 2, 8 and 5, four of the
&C samples showed colon bacilli
This, of course, is the raw"
water All recent tests of the water
after chlorination show it safe for
drinking. Dr. Woodruff expresses
the opinion that we shall never
again have safe water without
chlorination, but he believes its con-
diton would be greatly improved if
the intake pipe was at Bra pch pond,
instead of near the outlet Of Branch
Pond stream.

True, he has his charts and instru-

His only course is to steam forward

reets-sOmetimes Sometimes dead
reckoning goes wrong.
The La Honda disaster, off the Cali
forn1a coast, furnished terrible proof
Of this.
Seven destroyers of the battle fleet
were travelling through fog at a speed
OF 70 knots. Their object was to turn
III to shore, but a series of jagged reefs
had first to be passed.
Dead reckoning told the commander
of the first destroyer that the place
to turn had been reached. He changed
his course, the others following in
line.
Suddenly the roar Of breakers was
heard. The destroyers tried to swerye,
to reverse. Too late-their speed was
too great. One after the other the
seven ships piled up on the Jagged
rocks The commanders dead reckon

Study CottreI Principle.
Naval scientists are now trying to
combat fog by figuring out a suitable
modification of "CottrelPs Precipita-
ton"
The original purpose of the precipi-
tator was to '1ay' smoke and fumes
belched from factories and furnaces
and thus prevent their spread.
The precipitation, named for it's in
ventor, DR.. T. G. Cottrell, is a device
for making tiny particles in the air
collect into larger masses. Power
full electric currents are used. When
the particles form in larger bodies
they drop to the ground.
The naval Investigators have hopes
that the precipitator principle can be
used to dispel fog off a ships bows.
With this in view they are studying
the composition of fog, trying to figure
out a modification of Cottrell's device
that will apply to its particles as we'll
as to particles Of smoke.

mistake to wear a hat with a sharp,
stiff brim, as of the sailor. The line
of the hat then projects forward and
gives a shelf-like appearance above
the face, which emphasizes the unat-
tractive proportion of the features.
If the nose is very snubbed, never
choose a hat that turns up in front
as in rolled brim or poke. A drooped
brim, such as a mushroom shape. Is
generally very becoming as it casts
lengthening shadows over the upper
part of the face. In the same wav.
the sauciest nose subdues it's impu-
dence in the dignifed presence of a
large or medium -brimmed hat. How
ever, the saucy top-tilted nose is by no
means always unbecoming, and it is
just possible, if yours is attractively
so, you may wish to emphasize this
feature rather than to hide it. In that
case, desirable choice is the toque

The shape of the nose is very i'm
pOrtant The woman with a cOnSpic-
uous nose must choose a hat with
enough brim in front to shadow it,
and in the back enough to balance it.
little trying on of hats will con
vince you that a prominent nose is
much less conspicuous under a brim
which extends little way beyond it.
That is the reason that a turban.
which brings the profile into sharp
relief and accentuates the nose, is
such an unhappy choice for many
women Neither will long or
crooked nose brook too strong con
tradiction-and usually curved brims
are more becoming than the ones
which offer too great contrast.
When the angle of the nose is cut
deeply between the eyes, ii is
