Says So-Called "Fishy" Taste
Is Not Due To Presence of
Flnney Tribe, But to Minute
Water Plants

That the so-called "fshy" taste
sometimes evident in public water
supplies is not due at all to the
presence at the source of fish. bpt
Is caused by a minute organism,
winch In turn is of food value to
lsn and is entirely wholesome TO
humans, was one of the interesting
Things which DR.. Elmer Campbell
tolo the Rotarians in his talk at the
regular supper session, held at the
augusta House, Friday evening.
Or. Campbell, a member of the
club, Is Director of the Division of
sanitary Engineering of the Depart
ment OF Health of the State of
Maine. and collaborating engineer in
the United States Department of
Public Health. His talk of last eve
ming was on the tastes and odors
prevalent in drinking water, their
cause and effect. A series of stere-
opticon views from microscopic
studies of the various forms of an
imal and vegetable life in water
We're shown to illustrate the address
and the evenings program proved
most interesting and instructive to
the Rotarians and their guests.
In prefacing his remarks, DR..
Campbell told his audience that all
manner of biological organisms
thrive in certain environments. The
tastes and odors in public water
supplies are due to the presence of
one or more of the group of plants
called algae. The algae is a large
order OF aquatic plants found in the
sea and In all water sources. They
in ci2o firm fhp OF
specie. 700 feet in length, to the
minute organisms of pure water
sources which can only be studied
through the microscope. Many forms
of this algae have commercial or
food values, the most commonly
known of which are the Dulce and
Irish mosss.
The particular algae which, I'm
parts to water the "fshy" taste is
but five-ten thousandths of an inch
in length, and it takes $4,000 of
these in one teaspoonful of water
to cause any foreign taste. Fish
feed on these plants and thus gain
their own "fishy" taste.
Speaking of the treating Of pubs
lie water supplies to eradicate the
plant life causing tastes or odors,
DIR. Campbell stated that there had
State Of Maine, but mentioned the
experiences Of Boston, New York
and other cities with their public
water supplies. One method Of Grad
icating the particular form of algae
which Is the cause of the foreign
taste or odor IS the introduction of
copper sulphate in quantities of 8
pounds to each million gallons OF
water.
The series Of stereopticon pictur-
es shown in conjunction with the
address were most instructive and
entertaining, and DIR. Campbelps en-
tire talk was followed with the clos
est Of attention by his hearers.
In the absence Of President Her
man r. Mansur, the secretary of the
club, Fred Davis presided at the
session last evening. One new mem

Forecast Record
Democratic Vote
Texas Primary Today

Dallas, Tex, July % = up - The
Texas pre- primary campaign closed
tonight with the prospect Of $4,000
voters going to the polls tomorrow to
say whether they wish Governor
Miriam A. Ferguson retained as the
titular head Of the Democratic party
and to settle other contests.
The first woman governor to be
elected in Texas has been the OBJ
ject of the most intense "off year"
campaign in the states history.
The Texas election bureau, an or
ganization set up by Texas news
papers to gather returns, estimated
that the Democratic vote would be
about $4,000. or about SO percent of
the states voting strength.
Each of the three leading Demo-
cratic candidates for the guberna-
torial nomination predicted triumph,
and two, Mrs. Ferguson and Attor-
ney General Dan Moody, declared
they would have a majority over all
opponents.
On the Republican side the chief
interest centered in efforts Of the
minority party to hold a statewide
primary for the first time in the
states history. The Republican lead
ers were not claiming that they
would poll large vote-30, 900 was
the highest estimate of the Republi-
can headquarters-but they assert a.
Republican primary will be held in
200 of the states 252 counties.
The final campaign day was feat
ured by a statement from Governor
Ferguson in which she mildly enid
ed her own husband, former Govern
or James E. Ferguson, for engaging
'in too much Incorporate expression
in the campaign" thanked her OPP
ponents for respecting her and the
position which she holds, and pre-
dicted complete victory for herself.
Attorney General Moody, who has
| made attacks on "Fergusoniom" his
chief campaign issue, predicted his
| own victory by 100000 majority.

FOREIGN TRADE
Continued from Page One)


purpose Of regaining avenues Of
trade this country has entered into.
There is always, OF course, it was
said, keen competition in foreign
trade, but so far as the President
knows. this is at present 20 different
than usual
The president has no information
here as to what use was made of
money advanced by the United States
to Great Britain during the war 9TH
er than what has been stated by
treasury officials in their replies to
British government spokesman who
have brought UP the subject in Eng
land.
Regarding the mission of Lincoln
Z. Andrews, assistant secretary of
the treasury in charge of prohibition
enforcement, to England, the Presi-
dent does not understand that Mr..
Andrews is trying to negotiate a
treaty with that country in his con-
ferences on prohibition enforcement
matters. The conduct of foreign rela-
tions, it is emphasized. is in the
hands Of the state department and
the President.
Referring to rumors that Governor
General Wood of the Philippines was
resigning his post, it was said that
President Coolidge could not see the
slightest foundation for them.
Remaining at the executive offices
the entire morning, President Cool
idge attended to number Of de-
partmental matters and also gave
consideration to the naming Of sue
cessor to Commissioner Fenning of
the District Of Columbia, who has
resigned. Nearly so names had been
proposed for the appointment.
With his engagement list free for
several days, President Coolidge has
been able to give many hours to gov
eminent business but more visitors
are expected in the next few days,
beginning with Secretary Wilbur of
the navy department, who will ar
rive tomorrow, and remain over the
week end. Mr. Wilbur, it is under
stood, will confer on. a number OF
departmental matters, including the
recent arsenal explosion at Dover,
n. J.
Senator Butler, of Massachusetts,
1t was said, probably will not come
to White Pine Camp at any time
during the summer.
Mrs. Coolidge this morning IN
spected the marine barracks. situat-
ed in the woods a mile from White
Pine Camp. Walking to the quarters
of the Presidents military guard
with Captain Wilson Brown, naval
aide to Mr.. Coolidge, she was receiV-
ed by Lieutenant Fred E. Stack who
escorted her on the tour Of the bar
| racks.
With the pen standing at attention
| before their tents, Mrs. Coolidge
peeped into each canvas dwelling
commenting on the neatness of the
| woodland camp Then she visited
| the hospital tent and the mess hall
| chatting pleasantly with Lieutenant
| Stack and his brother officers as they
| showed her each unit.

Catholics Prepare
To Meet Religious
Regulations in Mexico

MEXICO City, July "a P) - A
week remains before the formal put
ting into effect of the new religious
regulations, and the situation is
daily becoming more tense. The
closing Of the Mexico City head
quarters Of the National League for
Defense Of Religious Liberty and the
arrest Of the leaders of the organ
ization has caused much feeling in
Catholic circles.
The government is continuing its
programme for enforcing the regu-
lations apparently without the
slightest suggestion of modification.
Attorney General Ortega has given
instructions to department Of justice
officials to investigate every local
branch of the religious liberty
league and prefer charges against
those responsible for the circular
calling for an economic blockade in
opposition to the RELIGIOUS rulings.
Fearing that all church functions
will cease on July 81, huge crowds
are gathering daily for the purpose
of having their children confirmed
and performing devotions, the ca,
pacity of the great Mexico City Ca
thedral being inadequate.
1t is estimated more than 5000
children were confirmed in the ca
thedral yesterday. There were also
many baptisms, and hundreds OF
mothers were unable to get inside
with their babies.
The Most Rev. 5ose Mora y de
Rio, archbishop of Mexico, person.
ally officiated at the combinations
for two hours until, almost exhaust
ed, his assistants insisted he retire
The archbishop is not very strong
because of his advanced years, but
nevertheless, he has announced thai
from now until July 81 he will Of
fciate as many hours daily as his
strength permits, instead Of confirm
ing once a week as heretofore.
Dispatches are published here
saying that Archbishop CroZco
Jiminez. of Guadalajara, has sent 8
letter throughout his jurisdiction
together with thousands of cate
chisms. advising every Catholic
home to become a Catholic school
to assemble the children from tho
surrounding neighborhood to Civ
thenf religious instruction.
Another Catholic school, that Of
Sister Maria Ensenadora, has decid
ed to close. rather than await acttor
against 1t by the government. Tween
ty sisters of the school have depart
ed for the border, where they plar
to open an institution at Eaglt
Pass.
The Catholic schools which have
decided to close plan to reopen a
various border points in the United
States, thus enabling Mexican fam.
lilies to send their children with lit
| tie trouble for a Catholic education
