~ star Correspondent Of The Star.
ALEXANDRIA, Va, November TO-
Many persons here are unduly excited
over the water situation, Urban S.
Lambert, manager of the Alexandria
Water Co., said today in discussing the
present water supply on hand and the
various emergency measures which have
been taken to curtail the consumption
Of water.

supply the Bancroft dam and the Duke
street revervotrS, have shown a tendency
TO start flowing again as has been the
case In other sections, Lambert said,
ana moderate amount is being added
70 the supply daily.
Only 100000 gallons a day are now
being used from the dam, according to
the water company official, with the

the water company may still tap other
artesian wells as such wells are avail
able at the former plant of the Mutual
Ice Co. at the foot of Cameron street
and at the abandoned plant of the
Robert Portner Brewing Co.
No Cause for Alarm.
The emergency still exists according
70 Lambert, and it is still necessary for
persons to conserve the supply by not
using water for washing automobiles,
watering flowers, grass and porches
and in other manners not absolutely
necessary. However, he stated, the
situation is not as alarming as many
people seem to consider it.
Recently city council enacted an
ordinance providing fines of from $40
to $50 for washing automobiles or
the use of water in other ways not alb
solutely necessary and this measure will
remain in force while the present Sit
uation exists. Persons who are tn Sec
tons Of the city supplied from the ar
tesian wells of the Mutual Ice Co. have
expressed themselves as being very well
pleased with the high quality of that
water which they are now getting.

SURGERY FOR LUNGS
BIGGEST DVANCE IN
TREATMENT OF 7. B.
Minneapolis Expert Tells N. o,
Doctors Three Lines Of
SeIective Operating

Surgery has become. increasingly
important in the treatment Of selec-
tive Eases Of tuberculosis of the lungs,
DR.. Thomas j. Kinsella, of the Glen
Lake sanatorium, near Minneapolis,
told the North Dakota State Medical
association here, today.
Surgery is particularly important in
the treatment of patients whose dis
ease is limited to lung, DR.. Kim
sella said. :
The surgical methods of treatment
of pulmonary tuberculosis may we'll
be considered the most valuable adj
dition to our methods of controlling
this disease which has been devel-
oped in the past SO years." he added.
"Only l to 3 per cent of patients
are suitable for this method, but In
this group which includes those who
have been unable to control their dis
case by any other method, this opcr-
alton may be expected to give good
results in than 60 per cent and
return many of them to useful work."
The three most important forms OF
treatment present were outlined by
DR.. Kinsella as artificial pneumothor.
ak, phrenicotomy, and thoracoplasty
In the first type of treatment, arti-
ficial pneumothorax, the lung is col.
lapsed and placed at rest by injecting
air between the lung and the chest
wall, according to DR.. Kinsella.
1T is attended" he continued. "by

very little risk but the treatment
must be continued at regular inter-
walls for several years to prevent re-
eurrence Of the disease. Only about
10 to is per cent of patients r suit
able for this type of treatment but If
1t can be successfully given, it will
double or even triple the given pa
tents chances Of recovery"
BY p~hrenicotomy rest is given to
the diseased lung by inducing a par
alysis of one-half of the diaphragm
by removing its nerve, supply. the
