ALL LIMITS Off
ON USE OF WATER
Temporary Pumping Stations
viii End 81 Day Short
age in Suburbs.

Succeeding in its efforts to obtain
ample water through the District water
system, the Washington Suburban SAM
tary Commission late yesterday removed
all restrictions on the use of water in
the suburban area of Prince Georges
and Montgomery counties.
The restrictions, which prohibited
the Sprinkling of lawns, and, at first, of
flowers, because of the water shortage,
had been in force 80 days.
Water is now being supplied to near
by Maryland through four connections
with the District system. One tempo
rary pumping station has been con-
structed, and another is being erected
today, permission having been granted
for its installation by the District
authorities yesterday.
The pumping station at the Burnt
Mills reservoir has been closed and the
little water that is now coming down
the Northwest Branch is allowed to
flow to Hyattsville, where the COM
mission Is still operating a pumping
station. The cool weather, cutting
down consumption, and the slight rains
Of the last two days, resulted in a
small quantity Of water accommodating

Deputy Engineer Harry r. Hall report
ed. About 100000 gallons were pump
day.
High pressures are now being MAIN
tanned throughout the sanitary district,
Engineer Hall states, and the new
pumping station is expected to further
improve conditions.
T. Howard Duckett, chairman of the
Sanitary Commission, declared today
the commission would continue to use
District water only so long as the pres
ent shortage exists. As soon as the
emergency is passed the commission
VIII revert to its old system Of drawing
its water supply from the Northwest
Branch, he declared.
The present emergency connections
with the District will remain In place.
however, so that a recurrence of the
shrlnkage of the Northwest Branch will
probably not cause another water short

RETIRING. MONUMENT GUARD
RECALLS Al YEARS SERVICE
Helped Answer Questions of
$3.50, 900 Visitors, Says
Jones.
Night That of KniCker-
booker DiSaSter-Locked .
In by Snow.

Walter S. Jones, who became . guard
when the Washington Monument was
opened to the public in 1888, and who
has helped answer the questions OF
9,36O,OOO visitors since, Is going TO re-
tire.
On August 80, Jones, somewhat weary
but still going strong, will close out his
Al years of service. Yesterday, on the
occasion Of his seventy-ninth birthday.
Jones consented to recall something OF
his past. He recalled that not one OF
those 100000 visitors lodged COM
plant against him and that he had
answered their questions courteously
always and as fully as time permitted.
Many of them asked strange questions
Some could not imagine the purpose OF
the giant shaft that towers SIS feet for
no apparent reason. 1t is a monument,
Jones would say, Nations attempt to
in1mortalize her greatest son. 1t was
built by the people and for the people
Jones hoped they would enjoy it.
On Duty Every Day.
Coming to work every day, from his
home at 2477 Eighteenth street, in the
city of his birtf1e Jones would take up
his place beside the familiar portal and
try to guess what the visitors would ask
him next.
They always fooled him, and they
sometimes stumped him-but not so
6ften of late, Jones said. He long since
familiarized himself with the answers
to stock questions and, in his sleep, he
can tell how high the monument is,
when the cap stone was set in place,
who designed it, how long it took in the
building.
Jones now is a doorman. He pre-
Yiously served as top man" and as

his duty, not merely to care for the
interior peak of the Monument and
lock the windows every night, but he

LUSK DISCUSSES
RIVER POLLUTION
In Radio Address Urges Sew
age Disposal Plant to Pro-
teCt the Potomac.

Even should the District erect $10,-
100000 sewage disposal plant, the
Potomac River, Rock Creek and the
Anacostia River still would be polluted,
Rufus s. Lusk, chairman of the Sewer
Committee of the Board of Trade, de-
clared in an address yesterday over
Radio Station WMAL.
I'VE would still have pollution" the
speaker said, until Maryland and Vir-
ginia communities likewise erect sew
age disposal plants. Some of the pol
luton of the river occurs at Cumber-
land and Harpers Ferry and the many
other points along the river"
Mr.. Lusk suggested that the public
refrain from criticism until the United
States Public Health Service had COM
pleted a study Of the situation in the
metropolitan area at the request of the
District Commissioners and the Ma
tional Capital Park and Planning Com
mission.
Suburban Plans Cited.

Commission" Mr. LuSk added, sis

discharged into Rock Greek Park from
the area Immediately adjacent to Wash

another Maryland sewer with an Inter-
cepter sewer that the District has just
run I'D Rock Greek Valley to the Dis
trict line. This will improve condi-
tions a great deal in Rock Greek, but
1t will not eliminate sewage in this
stream until every community lying in
the Is, 900 acres not under the Jurls-
diction Of the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission ceases polluting
this stream.
Sewage From Adjacent Areas.
'The same conditions apply to the
Anacostia River because sewage Is
dumped from Bladensburg and other
communities in that section. The
Washington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission is planning erection of sewage
treatment plant which will help very
much to correct this condition. We
must not be too critical of our friends
in Maryland, because Montgomery and
Prince Georges Counties have had such
an enormous growth that 1t has been
almost impossible to handle the sewage
IS it should be. They are making efforts
to correct an unfortunate situation"
