The Stockley Grammar School held
its p. T. A. for February last
Thursday night, February 25th.
There were several recitations on
the two great heroes who fortunate
ly were born in that month. They
sang several selections. The speaker
of the evening was c. A. Short of
Laurel, and we very much enjoyed
his talk on the two heroes and edu-
cation. We don't know as yet when
the next meeting will be.
The following poem "WhO But Mo-
ther," was composed by Miss Marie
Ellingsworth. of Stockley, formerly
of MillsbOrO:
Who But Mother!
Who else is it but mother
That heeds to our sighs
Who is it but her
That soothes the baby's cries?
Who is ready to do our will
No matter at what time,
Who it it but her
That calls, "COme here, darling
mine?"
Who is it but mother
That leans toward her son,
Who is it but her
That helps to make the victory
won!
Who is it but mother,
That lists to her daughters plea
Who is it but her
That says daughter come to me?
Who is it but mother
That always does her part
Who is it but her
That holds such a love in her
heart?
Then it must be our mother
Who is our second god
When Christ has called her
And her body rests in the sod.

DEL.MAR-VA'S CHARMS

II all you folks will pay attention
To what have to say,
Ill try to tell of some attractions
That we have down our way.
You know we live in old Del-Mar-Va
Away down by the sea,
Where white-capped waves come IN
a-dancing
AS lively as can be.
The sand upon Del-Mar-Va's beaches
Is nice and clean and white,
The happy children roll upon 1t
And play with all their might.
The pine trees, too, deserve some
mention.
They stand so straight and tall,
They hold aloft the plumy branches
From which the pine-cones fall.
If you could see the sun-hecked
beauty
Beneath the shady trees,
Could catch the scent of sweet mag
nolia
A-fioating on the breeze,
1 think you'd say, like we who larry
Upon Del-Mar-Va'S shore,
"This is the best place in the coun-
try,
I'll travel round no more"
You'd build yourself little cottage
With flowers and trees around,
And melons in a nearby garden
Just rip'ning on the ground.
Some sweet potatoes in field,
Perhaps some peanuts, too,
And big red apples on tree
Just to complete the view.
OF course, there'd be a field of wheat
Not very far away,
And maybe, too, some soy Deans
Or new-mown clover hay.
Tomatoes, peas, and lots of corn
Each one comes in its season,
I know you, too, would like Del-Mar-
Va,
I'm sure you see the reason.
Oh. you may journey many miles
While searching for the best,
You may be charmed with northern
scenes
And also with the west,
But when you look for peace and
Joy,
For mem'ries rare and sweet,
You'll find that for a happy life
Del-Mar-Va can't be beat.

One of the best known bridge players
vas asked the other night what he con-
ndered the greatest quality for play
4r to have and he replied without any
hesitation: "The ability to play losing
cards WELL" Think that over carefully
ior it is a regular lesson on the game.
Learn to play your losing cards we'll
and the good ones will take care of
themselves.
One of the most unusual succession
Of hands ever known was held by we'll
known player the other night and as
they are very good illustrations of the
preemptive or shut-out bid, it is we'll
worth while to discuss them. The three
hands were held in succession and are
IS follows:
Hand No. L
Hearts-A, 10, 9, 9,8,7,5,3,2
Clubs-J,9,2
Diamonds "A
Spades *
The dealer and second player passed
and third player, holding the above
hand, bid four hearts. All passed and
he failed to make his contract by three
tricks. His opponents, however, had an
easy game in spades so the shut-out bid
iaved the game.
Hand No. 2
Clubs ubss:-K,o,916
Diamonds none
Spades - A, K, Q, 1916
The dealer passed and the second play
sr, with the above hand, bid four spades.
All passed and he made five odd. In this
ease the shut-out bid probably made
little difference.
Hand No. 8
Hearts "A
Clubs "A, Q,J,7
Diamonds-A, K, Q, J,o, Z, "a
Spades - none
The dealer with the above hand bid
Ave diamonds. Ali passed and he made
little slam. The opponents could have
made five odd in either spades or hearts.
In this hand, also, the shut-out bid
made little difference. The hands, how
ever, are remarkable for being held in
succession by the same player, some
thing that probably will not happen
lgain in decade.
The hands given in the preceding
article were illustrative of the proper
bidding of two-suit hands and are well
worthy of careful study. The question
n each case is, what would you, as
iealer, bid2
Hand No. I
j Hearts A, 10, o,S,7
Clubs "A, 10, 8, u, 6
Diamonds 40
Milford chronicle., 1926-03-05

Spades %
The proper bid with this hand is one
club. If overbid by either opponent or
by partner, bid the heart. The reason
for preferring the club to the heart as
the first bid is that partner is more apt
to overbid the club than the heart and
so gives you better chance to bid both
suits.
Hand No. 2
Hearts -8
Clubs %
Diamonds K, O,o,4,2
Spades *, ], 10, 7, g.,
With this hand the better bid is one
spade. The spades are much stronger
than the diamonds and should be rebid
before showing the diamonds. For that
reason the one spade is preferred to one
diamond.
Hand No. 3
Hearts - none
Clubs "A, X, Q, 1914
Diamonds 10, IL
Spades "A, K, ], 1917
In this hand both suits are of fairly
equal value so one spade should be the
first bid. If overbid, show the clubs.
Hand No. 4
Hearts "A, K, Of
Clubs-K, Q, 10, 8, IT. 6,5
Diamonds none
Spades 90
With this hand, one club is the proper
bid. Clubs should be rebid at least once
before showing the heart suit. The
clubs are so much longer and stronger
that the hand will undoubtedly give
the best results with that suit as trumps.
Hand No.
Hearts "A, SO IS
Clubs *, JOS 5,3
Diamonds *, J, 9, 5,3 /
Spades - none /
This is a very doubtful hand. 1t is really i
a sound pass but the two-suit character /
of the hand makes it tempting propo-
sition to bid. If you do decide to bid,
one diamond is correct. Whenever the
two suits are of fairly equal value, al
ways bid the higher value first.

this hand is just under. Pass with the
firm intention of bidding the hearts or
the next round if the bidding makes
such a course expedient. These example

of two-suiters, and the bidding as giver
should be carefully studied.

Mr.. Curtis points out an electric
generator attached to a stationary
engine, and tells us that this plant
is not dependent upon the city for its
light and heat.
In this work. says Mr.. Curtis, lit
will not do to be reasonably certain;
we must be absolutely sure, in so far
as it is humanity possible, for water
is the most essential of all the i'm
portant public utilities. When the
street-car system is tied up, office
workers and others trying to reach
a certain destination at a prescribed
time become impatient; when some
thing goes wrong with the lights or
the telephone the public becomes ex-
asperated; but when the water supply
fails everybody gets panicky, know
ing instinctively that nothing is more
dangerous than water famine. So
the job of supplying our city with
water is one that must go on "a
hours a day, every day, and so far
we have been able to make good.
That explains why there are three
pumps in the pumping station when
two would ordinarily be sufficient. 1t
is why connections were made be-
tween the old conduit and the new at
frequent intervals as we saw on our
trip down from Great Falls, even
though the recently laid conduit en-
bodies all the latest improvements
known to the engineering world and
carries a factor of safety large enough
to handle every contingency that can
be imagined.
We were taken itno the boiler
room. and here again we found pro-

being four boilers, only two of which
are operated at any one time. Here,
too, every effort was made to secure
efficiency and safety. There were
automatic stokerS, extra safety valves,
ingenious devices for regulating the
flow of water and several other fea-
lures by which the heat and gases
that are ordinarily wasted were uti-
lized.
Beside the boiler room is com
partment containing water softening
machine. Mechanism of this sort is
necessary because the water obtained
from the river contains considerable
percentage of minerals and acids. re-
sulting in it's being given the name
hard" water. When passed through
boiler pipes, water of this sort de-
posits the solid substances in it, caus-
ing a dangerous condition to result.
The softening machine consists of
tanks in which the water is treated
with a mineral solution that makes
the fluid soft" and safe for boiler
usage. Every laundry now uses a
device of this sort. for the reason
that more satisfactory results in both
cleaning and dyeing can be obtained
with soft" water. Washington water

The pumping station was also found
to house the machinery used for plac-
ing under pressure the water that is
employed in washing the sand of the
filter beds. There are 80 such beds.
each having an area of one acre. A
process called "the slow sand filter
method" is in use here, by which the
water passes by gravity through
feet of sand and gravel that effectively
extracts all impurities and sediment.
The filters are entirely covered with
earth over a vaulted, arched concrete
roof. and inside are completely wired
and equipped for electric lights. The
water passes from them into small
buildings known as regulator houses
wherein meters record the rate of
filtration, the condition of the sand,
etc. From these houses the water
runs into covered. clearwater
reservoir of 100000 gallons
capacity.
WHILE pointing out the machinery
w in one of the regulator houses
Mr.. Curtis remarked that many visit
ors, seeing the innumerable machines
that control the water while being
stored and filtered, say that this plant
requires no supervision, that ii will
run itself. But the contrary is true.
declares Mr.. Curtis, for the more
numerous and delicate the machinery
employed the more expert must be
the men in charge. 1t is by securing
highly skilled engineers that the local
plant has been able to establish a
reputation for efficiency and economy
that is looked up to by every city in
the country.
The local filters follow closely in
general design those installed at AL
bany, n. Y. The first bed was put
into service on August 81. 1905, the
actual construction work having
commenced in the Spring of 1903.
Since October 5. 1905. the entire
supply of the city has passed through
the plant. Mr.. Curtis helped super
wise it's construction and has been
in charge of it ever since 1t was
opened. In addition to his regular
routine duties at Mcmillan Park, he
is now personally directing the
building of the new plant at Dale

The most expensive part of the
operation of the filter beds is the
cleaning of the sand. procedure
that has to be gone through, on the
average, once every four months.
mechanical. First the water is
drawn from the bed. Then the
sand is scraped off and passed under
pressure through pipe lines into
stationary sand washer which not
only cleans the sand thoroughly, but
also automatically elevates it to a
storage tank large enough to contain
the entire supply for one filter. The
storage tanks are in the form Of
