POLLUTION IN

Officials Admit Impurities
Revealed by Health
Board Tests.
OBSTACLE TO OPENING
COLONIZATION May Be Tried;
Contractor Protests Hail.

Pollution IN the driven well at
municipal airport, today stood as
another obstacle to city officials in
their arduous efforts toward carry
completion of the airheld.
CITY works board members and
airport officials admitted existence
of the pollution after tests by the
city health board. but also stated a
report by the state health board
revealed the water was drinkable.
Discrepancy in the reports, SO far,
has not been explained.
In the city tests, three showed
bacteria. in the water too numerous
to count. according to the health
board report. The city tests were
made from water taken from the
well by Paul H. Moore, airport SUI
perintendent; M. G. Johnson, engi-
neer. and H. Gene Haynes, admins
tration publicity man.
Tests Made Secretly
The tests were made secretly and
board of health employees refused
to reveal the contents of the report
or to show the report to The Times.
A report finally was obtained after
the situation was admitted by
officials
That a state board test was made
was not revealed until officials pre-
pared to pay James Hensley, well
contractor, only 81 foot for the
513-foot digging. Hensley. accord
ing to E. Kirk Mckinney, president
of the works board, said he should
have So a foot because the water
was drinkable. The contract called
for the latter price if the water was
drinkable.
Hensley, Mckinney said, declared
he had taken the water to the state
board for the test Hensley today
was paid $2,052-a 81 a foot basis
. and if future tests prove thA water
drinkable, another similar amount
will be paid him, Mckinney stated.
Tanks to Cost $500
Mckinney said further tests will
be withheld until pumps are placed
in operation at the well. Bids will
be received on this equipment Oct.
20 and are expected to cost not more
than $500.
Mckinney pointed out that
chlorination tanks can be installed
to purify the water if the tests prove
impurities still exist. These tanks
will cost about $500, officials said.
If the water is found not to be
drinkable, no more will be PAID
Hensley and the difference in cost
will pay bottled water bills a long
time" one official said.
The we'll now in operation is the
second dug at the airport The first
digging, ordered by the previous adj
ministration, and costing more thar
$4,000. failed.
Digging of the second well, it is
recalled. was met with objections
by city officials who declared the
territory was dry and water should
be piped to the field This woulc
!. have cost the city approximately
$4,000, it is said.

The theory that Curry met death

by the fact that the body appeared

TNHE subject Of milk diet for adults
will probably always cause a good
deal Of discussion. The fact that a
f1ciently npurished entirely on milk
does not mean that a grown-up can
be. And although there are certain
examples Of adults who have made
milk the mainStay of their diet, still
1t is certain that q mixed diet is far
more wholesome for all save the very
young.
Doctors Slogan.
On the other hand, milk Is q splen-
did food to include in the diet of most
adults. more milk and less meat" is
the slogan of some doctors-for milk,
of course. has high protein value, and
when much Of 1t Is consumed less meat
is needed. Moreover, whole milk, In
GLIDING cream, is high in vitamins
and is, therefore, one Of the safety
foods, like lettuce and orange Juice
and egg yolks and other foods con-
tanning one or more Of the vital vita
minis.
The rule Of quart of milk for each
child and pint of milk for each adult
is good one to follow. This includes
milk used In cooking, of course. In
deed, the pint a day may be used for
each adult without having any of 1t
actually drunk as milk Hot milk in
coffee, cream on the cereal, q cup of
cocoa for luncheon, plate of thick
ened, vegetable seasoned milk soup or
q milk pudding for dinner, and the
pint Is more than used.
The same rules hold good for the
child. And although straight milk is
decidedly wholesome for children, still
weak cocoa, boiled and baked custards
cream soups made with milk and such
milky buildings as rice and tapioca all
help get rid Of the daily quart.
Avoid Excessive Use.
It Is well, however, not to let chill
dren drink too much milk. That is,

Your Baby and Mine

Everything goes to baby's mouth.
Sometimes the taste Of an old twig or

times the taste does not offend baby,
and he eats and develops an appetite

There are babies who pull hair from
their heads and chew it with relish.
Thsre are babies who can't be left In
their painted metal cribs, for they
gnaw on the paint and eat it like

normal children have these queer ape

most cases, Of some diet deficiency, or
Just bad habit
n deficiency of minerals In the diet
is given by most authorities as the most
frequent cause of these abnormal appe-
titles. To be perfect, of course, a diet
must contain all the elements. This

proteins; whole grain cereals and sugar
for the best type Of carbohydrate;
vegetables Of all kinds, fresh and cooked

types. Whether used In breads or as
breakfast foods, they provide the child
with vitamins and minerals that may
not be present In the more refined
cereals.
