Nothing. I came over faint in the

Are you sure, my dear?" Lefty ques-
toned anxiously. "You look awful"
would you like to go back to the
hotel, Mrs. Syrett?" soathsd Elip's voice.
"A glass Of brandy, mother?"
"She ought to go home"
THE Nazis haven't worried you,
Auntie?" Clarke Syrett wanted to know.
"You haven't been insu1ted?"
why should she have been insulted
unless she did something .insulting?"
the boy Brown countered instantly.
The young men glared. at each other
across the table.
I'm alt right It isn't nice feeling
you're going to faint in a big store
alone, when you don't even know the
language, and anything may happen"
"Of course not" Flip said, gently
and easily.
Privately she thought the silly, vague
little woman was shot and shaken out
of her small, habitual calm more than
the occasion had warranted; but she
had seen her distraught and twittering
over trifles so many, many times in the
past five weeks, and passionately ad-
mired Wynne's handling of his idiotic,
pretty little parent.

softly and reassuringly. Let me: take

Mabel Syrett said breathlessly, blow

voice, iii be all right with Flip. 1t was
just that I have a terror of coming
over faint in big places alone, especially
abroad"
They knew her for a near-neurotic
impetuous and peevish. The shrill note
in her voice warned them.

We are rising-8,00 ,000,-9,0 -9,000,-1O,000,
we are nearing 10000 feet. The
storm is much less severe up here
but the air is much colder. The
motors are functioning perfectly
and we are confident We'll pull
through in first class shape.
We have the sky practically to
ourselves. Before leaving the Unit
ed States we did see a couple of
mail planes. They waggled their
wings in greeting and we signalled
back. Since then we haven't seen
a single ship.
AS told the reporters before we
left this morning, we intend to fly
to the southern tip of Hudson bay
to Moose factory, Hudson bay
post. We will land there to take
on additional supplies and fuel.
Then We will follow the western
shore of Hudson bay to Cape
Churchill where the last post of
the Hudson bay company is locat-
ed. From here We will fly NN.W.
to Bathurst inlet, Coronation gulf.
If conditions are favorable we will
continue across the gulf without
stop, landing on the southern
shore of Victoria land. This is the
home of the famous blond Eskimos,
and 1 have many friends here who
will aid us.
Will Leave Plane
We will leave the plane here with
Red" Borland and the two me-
chanicS, ready for the return jour-
ney, and secure dog teams and
reindeer with Eskimo drivers to
mush us north in search of Santa'S
home.
While Red" has been flying the
camera man has got the camera
ready for action so that we will be
able to get some good pictures.
There is also a motion picture
camera with which We hope to
get some interesting scenes. I

No Hot Food
None. of us have eaten any hot
food since breakfast this morning.
1t is now 4:30 in the afternoon
(that is, 1:30 by your time on the
west coast). We have eaten only
a few sandwiches and have had hot
coffee from the thermos jug.
We are flying clear of the storm
now and it is possible to see the
ground. We just crossed a frozen
river. Men, like black bugs far
below, were cutting ice and hauling
it away with horses. 1t must be
at least 20 degrees below zero now.
Fortunately our cabin is sealed
tightly against the outer air and
heated by the exhaust from the
motor.
The snow storm is the only diff
ficulty we have encountered so far
but it was not so serious as sleet
would have been. Snow does not
stick to the wings in weather as
cold as this.

About noon today we ran into a
heavy snow storm. Old Layluk, the
Northwind, is still screaming and
bowling about us. The snow is
swirling and slapping against the
windows of our cabin and the
whole plane shudders, rising and

first public use to which it was put.
Evidently these logs soon rotted out,
resulting in their replacement with
castiron pipes in 1924, as stated.
It was about 1909 that the spring
was covered over with a reservoir
like structure of sandstone, for pro-
lection, the capStone Of the masonry
being inscribed: Erected by the vol
untary contributions of the citizens
during the mayoralty of Robert
Brent"
Many years later, when 1t had
served its usefulness and it was no
longer needed, and F street was being
graded by the Board of Public Works,
it was abandoned and lost to view.
At the September meeting, 1873,
of the Association Of the Oldest In
habitants of the District Of Columbia,
the matter of restoring it as public
spring was taken up and referred to
a committee composed of the presi-
dent, DR.. j. B. Blake, treasurer;
Nicholas Callan and w. John Purdy.
Subsequently Capt. Chauncey Bestor
and David Hepburn were added to the
committee.
As usual, it was one-man job, and
Mr.. Purdy did the investigating. He
reported: GAS the level Of the water
was only feet, it could not reach the
surface of the pavement, except by
Evening star., 1935-03-10

itol for drink water and fire protec-
tion, and an item appearing in The
Star Of october of that year gives
an account of the negotiations for its
purchase and other interesting details,
as follows:
In preparing to sell to the Gov
eminent Cool Spring, or, as it is
sometimes known, Large Spring, John
Howard Smith, 1t was learned today,
will. also convey the rights to the
water arising on a farm which he OBJ
tanned only a few days ago from
Richard Smith and Thomas Peter for
the sum Of $3.50.
Negotiations for the sale of this
water supply to the Government are
confidently expected to be concluded
before the end of next month, now
that Mr. Smith. has acquired the por-
ton of the farm in question, thus
protecting the sources Of the water,
which flows in a large stream.
1.-THE farm lies somewhat to the
northwest of the Capitol, and the
stream flows in the general direction
of the Capitol Some persons have
considered it feasible to pump the
water from the nearest point to the
Capitol for the use of Congress, and
this consideration has doubtless en-
tered into the purchase.
Three springs on the farm Of
John S. Smith, in the same vicinity,
have been found to furnish 7, and
Az gallons of water per minute.
These embrace the principal head
water of Tiber Creek, which forms a
part of a tidal estuary of the Potomac
River, a little distance west Of the
Capitol, after the water has come
down over the hills to the north.

and pumps erected upon petition,
about as we often do now, when we
want an alley improved or side
walk laid, and the nearby property
was assessed Just about as it is today.
There were laws, also, governing
pumps, about as numerous as there
are now regulations in connection
with the use Of the automobile, and
for various other purposes.
1t was unlawful ito wash clothes
or other articles, to clean fish, water
horses, or fill and leave barrels or
casks, or do any other act in. near,
or about any pump, well, spring,
hydrant or aqueduct within the limits
Of this city, injuring or tending to in
jure and make impure the water OF
the same; or to destroy, impair, or in
any manner injure any public pump,
well, aqueduct, pipe or hydrant within
the limits of this city; and any per-
son or persons offending against the
provisions of this act shall forfeit and
pay, on conviction, a sum not ex-
ceeding $40 for each and every Of
fense so committed"
Probably, even before this law was
enacted, plans were being made
eventually to do away with pumps,
and to introduce into the city an
adequate supply of Potomac water,
and so far had the idea advanced by
1853, that q beginning was made in
this direction, of which The Star Of
November 8, said editorially:
WATER FOR WASHINGTON.
"It affords us great satisfaction to
be able to state that today ground
was formally broken in the work OF
constructing the aqueduct through
which the water is to be brought from
the Great Falls, for the supply OF
Georgetown and this city. We need
hardly add that this event is SUBJ
ject of rejoicing on all hands.
"Our city needs this improvement
more than any other. Indeed, it is
the only extensive improvement re-
quired among us at this time, and its
prosecution with promptness and Wig
or will be anxiously looked for by
our citizens.
Fortunately, those who now have
the Government in charge look with
earnest zeal to the steady and rapid
progress of facilities for the trans
action of the public business accum-
ulating at this point, and cheerfully
give their countenance to all plans
likely to further this object; to none
with more alacrity than to the
speedy completion of these water
works.
once finished, upon the plan:
adopted, they will prove of immense
economy and advantage to the Gov.

those of the Government of the
United States than are the interest:
Of any others in their country.
