The old Franklin Square spring was
one Of the larger and better known
natural sources of water supply In the
Federal City In those days Washing

from a score of springs and from
number of wells. Another noted down
town spring was on the site of the old
Masonic Temple. at Ninth and F
streets. II was known variolsly as Caf-
fray's. the Federal Burnes' and the
Hotel Spring.
Records of the Columbia Historical
Society state that from an early date
wooden pipes carried water from the
spring in Franklin Park down to the
houses on + street about Fourteenth.
and as early rs 1920 the wooden pipes
were being replaced by cast iron pipes
and extended TO Pennsylvania avenue
and Twelfth street. The flow of water
from this spring in 1924 was estimated
TO be two barrels per minute"

About 1889. the records show. water
from this spring was brought to the
Treasury. and during the succeeding
year IL was introduced to the White
House and fountain was proposed at
the south front of the mansion. In
1888 Pennsylvania avenue was supplied
with cast iron water pipes and fire

COMMITTEE TELLS WHY QUOTA
CANNOT BE APPLIED TO JAPAN

try for permanen> settlement, since
even now a small number, if gath.
cred together in community, must
provoke friction and racial trouble.
Such was the line of reasoning
which forced Congress to abandon
any idea of granting quota to Jap
an. 1t has lost none of its force
since 1924. There has been added
since an additional reason because
such plan would no longer meet the
requirements of Japan, as has been
explained in public print by num-
her of her leaders. They say she
will insist on this country granting
to her nationals ultimately full
''racial equality that is to say,
not only the same rights as to ad-
mission, but also as TO citizenship,
that are granted by US to European
members of the white race. To grant
quota to Japan now, therefore, it
is claimed would be regarded by her
as an indication of weakness on our
part and encourage the further de
mands referred to.

DAIRY LOSS BY
FLIES DECLARED
0VERESTIM ATED

Completing their second year 5
work on the effect of fly sprays on
the production of milk by dairy
COWS, three members of the staff of
the branch of the College of Agri-
culture. University of California,
have published the results of their
study. which indicate affirmation
Of the first year 5 research, that fly
SPRAYS not only do not increase tho
increase the production of milk by
driving away insects, but actually
decreases the production. Those who
coopcratcd in the study are Profes-
scr Stanley 3. Freehorn, of the Di-
vision Of Entomology; Professor
W. NJ. Regan, Division of Animal
Husbandry; and Arthur II. Folger,
in charge of advanced registry test
ing.
The conclusions reached are these:
That exposing high producing
COWS TO an extremely heavy in
festation of house flies did not re
suit in lowered production.
That in the absence of flies,
SftH-lHS with NdltT ma no erect
on production; spraying with water
caused a loss of 81 per cent, with
pine tar-creosote a loss of 60 per
cent, and with oil o. per cent.
That the body temperature was
consistently higher, sometimes as
much as three degrees, for the oil
SPRAYED group than for the controls,
not SPRAYED; and that the respira-
tion rate of the sprayed group
averaged 10 per cent higher than
of the unsprayed.
High producing dairy cows, the
first experiment showed, suffered a
slight loss in production when en-
posed to a heavy infestation of
flies, and this loss was increased by
the application of commercial fly
sprays.
As a result of these two wears
of investigation, says the author,
cit is evident that the loss TO dairy
production caused by flies is some
times greatly overestimated and
that often greater damage to the
COWS results from the spray than
from the flies. =

PRODUCTION OF
DODGE BROTHERS
NOT DISTURBED

Despite the extensive changc-over
period that Dodge Brothers, Inc,
has gone through during the past six
months in preparing a complete new
line of six cylinder ears and trucks
to replace the old line fours, this
company completed its first half year
with the enviablc record of having
shipped 12l,327 units from its
plants in the United States and
Canada.
This is believed to be one of the
outstanding records in the history
of the industry, inasmuch as in the
half year just completed, none of the
present types has been in production
the full six months. In the face of
this situation, the figures just made
public clearly indicate the potential
possibilities of the company for
1925.
During the first six months of
1927, this company shipped lO7,1l5
units. Accordingly, this year s fig
