Indy Plane Still Is Best
Museum Drawing Card

Colonel Lindbergh himself. &C.
cording to Mr.. De Roose. always
drops in at the museum when he
is in washington. Sometimes he
brings Mrs. Lindbergh with him.
They, too, seem to have little to
say as they pause to look up at the
silver wings Of the Spirit Of st.
Louis.
From the Lindy plane, museum
visitors usually turn to the dresses
of the Presidents wives. Before
the arrival of the famous airship
the dresses were the greatest at
traction, but now they have taken
second place.
The Washington times., 1934-07-13

The first question asked by
every visitor at the National
Museum is:
"Where Is the Indy plane?"
Frank De Roose, veteran guard
at the main door, answers by a
gesture. He jerks his thumb over
his shoulder to where the plane
hangs just in front of the en-.
trance.
Says Mr.. De Roose:
TITS funny, but they never
seem to say anything. They
just stand there and gaze and
then blink and 60 on. It sort
Of seems to awe them"

ment of Health, in the depart ment's weekly broadcast today.
 When we draw a glass of water from a faucet, few of us give a thought to the safety of the water" :" MT Scott remarked, yet water supplies may become contaminated and may cause water-borne dis- eases unless certain protective measures are carried out and put in continuous operation" All of Connecticut's 102 public water supply systems receive this pro- tection with respect to watersheds. tributary streams of reservoirs. themselves, and treatment of the water to insure its purity, he said
 Regular Inspections
 Sanitary conditions on water sheds are regularly inspected by public water officials and about once a year a sanitary engineer from the State Department Of Hath visits each residence in water supply areas t@ make sure that no sewage Is contaminating the water supply. Watershed land is posted with warning signs. is patrolled, and exposed locations are fenced, so that chance contain ination cannot result from hunt CTS, campers or others who may come close to the supplies.
 Storage, filtration and chlorina- tion of water are other safety steps. Because water is stored for long periods of time in the reser- voirs, bacteria tend to die out after weeks and months, MT Scott stated. Filtration through sand removes bacteria from the water and chlor- ination destroys bacteria. About 77 percent of the population served by Connecticut public systems re- ceive chlorinated water; 27 per cent receive water that has been filtered. Operation of chlorina- tion and filter plants is in charge of local waterworks officials, but state sanitary engineers make fre- quent inspections and tests of these plants.
 Another important saeguard Is laboratory examination of public water supplies. State Department of Health laboratories regularly examine samples of water collected by department representatives or submitted by local water or health officials.
 Frequent Tests
 Still another way in which con- troll is exerted is the enforcement of the use of special calves where cross- s-connections between the supply and a supply which is unsafe for drinking exist. the latter being used for fire fight ing. Most cross-cpnnections of this type have been eliminated although 165 still remain in the state. The valves of these con- nections are tested for tightness three times a year by the state of Health and must be overhauled annually, in order that there is no possibility of con the drinking water supply.

FWALLOPINC WOP'
 TURNS BARRISTER
Guido PetruziO of Oakville Successfully Defends
 Self in Court

Guido Petruzio of Davis street, Oakville, known to prize fight fans as the "Walloping Wop," forsook the gloves to appear as his own counsel in city court this morning to defend himself against breach of the peace charges. So successful were his arguments and so graphic were his dramatizations of exactly what had taken place prior to his arrest on Brook street last night that he was given a nolle by Judge John F. McGrath. H
 John Baltrush of 38 Green street and Walter Gruskas of 4s Chatfield avenue testified that they were chatting with the fight CT when he started making passes at them. Petruzio was then ar- rested by Patrolman Joseph Gar vey and Patrolman Ernest Pakul.
 When Baltrush had been exam- ined by Prosecutor Joseph Neaglc, the "Walloper" began questioning him. "'Didn't you call me a 'wop'?" he asked. and Baltrush answered in the negative. He did" protested the fighter to Judge McGrath, ''and then the two of them started swinging at me. So, lifted my arms and this guy (Gruskas) walked into a left jab." (The fighter at this point gave a look that very obviously expressed disdain for anyone who would walk into a left jab.)
 Didn't you come back then with a gang ?" the prosecutor asked him.
 Me, with a gang" said PetruziO, in wonderment that he would need a gang. What would l do with a gang?"
 Hes also charged with drunk enness," said the prosecutor. What is it, punch drunk?" asked the judge.
 After warning Petruzio to keep out of further trouble, the judge gave him a nolle.
