Water Supply Increased.
The lone aqueduct which, since 1868,
had brought water from Great Falls, in
the upper Potomac, to the Capital had
been carefully guarded during the war
lest its destruction by the act Of an
enemy bring disaster. Washington was
using its capacity flow and suddenly
awakened to the narrow escape It had
had. Another conduit Of greater capacity
was planned and built and a filter plant
and pumping station constructed, which
more than doubled the available supply
Of pure water.
The old conduit, built into one of the
famous aqueduct bridges of the world,
the Cabin John arch, afforded a flow
line aqueduct from intake to outlet.
The most striking feature Of the new
waterline is the crossing of Cabin John
Greek by reinforced concrete siphon
Of circular section, with an inside
diameter Of 8 feet, which conforms
closely to the natural surface and leaves
the historic bridge untouched and the
view of its graceful arch unobstructed.
Over the old and new auueducts,
which lie side by side in this Federal
owned strip, is the Conduit road, which
will be reconstructed as a boulevard
from washington to Great Falls, in
Maryland, atfording a most attractive
drive with enchanting views of the
upper river, the Virginia Palisades and
the Great Falls. of which Lord Bryce
wrote, mo European city has no noble

The most vital of public utilities.
sanitation, unseen and unknown by the
average citizen, has in the past 10 years
called for an outlay exceeded by three
times that spent in the preceding dec
ade. In the five years just past there
has been expended for large mains and
pipe sewers in the District of Columbia
more than 100000 as compared with
$2,250, 900 in the five years before. To-
day there are more than 200 miles Of
main concrete sewers In Washington.
This increase in expenditures reflects
not only normal growth, but also re-
fleets closer coordination of sewer
construction with city planning. No
street in Washington is now paved or
repaved until the necessary sewers are
installed, or, If required, enlarged or
reconstructed. This, as 1t may readily

CUPERSTITION - strong fac
~ tor in the makeup of a ball
player, boxer or golfer-is des-
tined to play an important part
in determining the championship
of the Professional Golfers Asso-
citation tournament at Fresh
Meadow Country Club on Long
Island. The event is calendared
for Sept. 9Th through the 18th.
On one hand we have Leo Die
gel, perhaps the games most SUI
perstitious player, who believes
that certain prizes for which he
completes are his, regardless of
who else is a competitor. Oddly,
Leo looks upon the P. G. A. cup
as his own pet prize. He has won
II two years hand running.
AS a counterbalance to this
Diegel bunch, we know that Leo
recently lost his Canadian Open
title to Tommy Armour in a
playoff. And, strangely, the Ca
madam Open crown also was re-
garded by Diegel as one of his
private possessions. He had held
it for two years, too.
The boys who play for money
are giving a thought to that re-
cent defeat of Diegel by Armour.
By the time they are ready to
tea off at Fresh Meadow, a good

Your correspondent is one who
feels that Diegel's string of P. G.

next month. My main reason for
feeling that way is perhaps, after
all, twofold-the Smiths, Horton
and Mac.

from Carnoustie, has displayed

complish something this time.
Both Smiths have what is
known as a fawless style in golf,
while Diegel's is probably the most
unerthodox in the game. He tees
his ball too high and crouches
too low, the better-known instruc-
tors declare. He is a bundle of
nervous energy and, if we would
believe the experts, one can't have
nerves and play good golf.
Regardless of what the Smiths,
Farrells, Sarazens, Coopers and
Armours do to Diegel's champion
ship lunches, we can rest assured
of one thing-there will be no
hazards of the Bobby Jones type
to spoil their games at Fresh
Meadow.

man at Billings.
Inquest Held
That there might be no question
in regard to the manner in which
Stuart Beeman met his death, an
inquest was held Sunday after
noon, conducted by Coroner 10
seph Montgomery. A transcript
was made of the testimony and
a copy was sent to the relatives.
Ed Krebsbach, Miles Fishel and
DIR. DeWane testified. The verdict
of the jury was that Stuart Bee
man came to his death by coming
in contact with a high voltage
electric current and thereby being
electrocuted, that death vas ac-
cidental and was caused by his
own negligence.
The body was shipped to Sac
ramento, Calf, for burial. Be-
sides the brother at Billings, the
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. w. w. Bee
man, a brother w. W., Jr., and
possibly other relatives survive.
Stuart Beeman came to Wolf
where he had been employed. Pre-
Point about July 1 from Butte
vious to that time he had oper-
ated stations at Vancouver and
San Francisco. He was a licensed
radio operator and a graduate ell
ectrician. He had attended the
Billings Polytechnic and had had
a year and a half work at the
University of Montana. He was
about "a years old.
Liked BY All
Besides being an expert operat-
or Beeman was a good announcer
and was well liked by his large
audience. He was particularly
popular with the children who
knew him as "Uncle Oscar. He
had a pleasing personality and his
untimely death cut short a life
that gave promise of having a
great future.

How many of us keep a check on I'LL insurance and know HOY
much We have in force? There is something about the Fall seaso
that brings to mind the need Of protection from fire. Perhaps /
is because the thought of cold weather brings home a greater ap
probation of the shelter Of our houses and buildings. 1t has beer
said that without the protection of insurance business and industry
could not long carry on.
An exchange says:
No one would purchase a n interest in an enterprise without be
ing assured that his investment would be safeguarded in case of fire
No one would employ men without a insurance policy to stand be

plishes a tremendous task upon which the very life of industry de-
ponds, and which benefits, directly and indirectly, in one way or
another, every citizen.

fairs are urged to prepare stand
ard exhibits. BY standard exhibits
we mean those meeting the re-
%quirements published in the fair
premium list issued for the Roose-
welt County Fair. The same re-
quirements will govern both COM
munity and county shows.
Exhibits that are not standard
will be promptly rejected as all
exhibitors must show on the same
basis. Five vegetables exhibited
in a class calling for six will be
disqualified without further con-
s~ideration. Forage sheayes less
than three inches in diameter at
the base will be eliminated from
show as we'll as grain sheaves
that are less than the required
three to five inches in size. Peck
samples of grain are standards
that must be met, though the full
amount may not be shown in the
booth. Other standards required
are twelve potatoes, ten ears of
corn, gallon samples of certain
seeds and different numbers of
rolls, cookies, doughnuts, etc., as
specified in the premium list.
Attention to the matter of stand
ard exhibits before presenting
them to the community committee
will obviate trouble after the ex-
hibits reach the county fair.

BASEL, Switzerland, May 19-The
Bank for International Settlements
opens officially tomorrow morning.
There will be no ceremony, but business
will be begun there.
The new institution had to be built
from sthe ground up. Even the rooms
of the former hotel had to be rear
ranged
The banks main function will be re-
ceiying administering and distributing
German reparations payments Next
will come liquidation of the PREPARATIONS
of Austria, Hungary and Bulgaria and
of the complications resulting from the
territorial changes in Central Europe.
Probably for years the banks task
will be smoothing the matter of debt
liquidation through loans and discounts.
Many persons see wider task and
a broader field for 1t In aiding and de-
veloping new markets. Germany espe-
cially seems to want the bank to help
find new markets In the Balkans Russia
and the Orient, as for instance In the
reorganization of the Chinese railroads
Another probable field for the bank is
thought to be that of enabling the
regular meeting of the heads Of the
central banks who are on its board to
further their international cooperation,
which hitherto has been developing in
formally.
