Housewives t<j Observe ^ Water Order “W e Have Pride in Our Lawns,” They Say, “But We Must Have Clearer Water.” - Water will be shut off in homes which fail to comply with the emer gency order which prohibits the use of city Water for sprinkling lawns, Senator R. B. Howell, general man ager of the Metropolitan Utilities dis trict, announced Monday morning. "But 1 don’t think any such caseB will arise,” added Senator Howell. "I'm sure that in this emergency everyone will co-operate." Given Full Power. Senator Unwell declared the law gives the water- board full power to enforce the order or any other reason able regulation. He says the order will not be In effect for long, how ever, and explains that it was made necessary by the necessity of wash ing out the basins, the increased con sumption of water, the unusual tur bidity of the Missurl river and the fact that tlie new filtering plant is only operating at two-thirds of its capacity at present. "There was one day this month when 39,000,000 gallons of water were used In 24 hours,” said Senator How ell. "That is more water than the district has ever before been called on to furnish irs^a similar period." Washing Mud ltank. It was declared at the water office that new machinery for tiie filter ulant will be on hand In a few days. also was declared that the "tur bidity of the Missouri amounts to 13,000 parts per million amt that this Is due to the fact that the river is washing away a mud bank just $bove the suction intake of the pumps the the plant. While a majority of those inter viewed evinced il desire to co-op erate with the order. Ira Jones, su perintendent of public recreation, took exception to it, declaring that the municipal golf course greens must he watered at all costs. "I take great pride in my lawn, hut it seems to be more important to obey the order in this emergency than to water it,” said Mrs. C. V. Warfield, 4.320 Miami street. ”1 be lieve the water should be reserved for domestic use until the emergency is passed.” “I have confidence in the water hoard and 1 believe the order should he complied with,” said Mrs. E. J. LeRoy, 2743 Titus avenue. ”1 take great pride in my flowers, but I'll defer watering them rather than not co-operate,” said Mrs. Ed ward Morris, 914 South Thirty seventh street. Mrs. I). C. Sinclair declared she ^welieves it more important to have tear water than to sprinkle lawns. Plant officials explained that there ■« no actual danger of a shortage, hut that to get the water back to us proper clear condition It Is abso lutely necessary to cut down con aa^imption.

There were rumors that the alligator ■had been loaned from Riverview park and "ditched'' in the lake for the spectacular event. Batteries in each canoe furnished the lights for their own decorations. A canoe which portrayed "Night." showing silver stars and a quarter moon set in a background of black was the center of attraction. It was the entry of Dr. If. W. Weeks.

SO.—Two hundred and fifty delegate* to the National Shorthand Reporter*’ association convention got together here today to worry because everyone doesn't talk faster. When they take dictation, they’re always away ahead of the dictator. They know what he's going to say before he does and they have their note book crammed full of those funny doodads that resemble typhoid germs. They even know when lie's going to make a mistake and they correct ft in advance. Then they yawn. They're hot for action. •lust to show how fast they./hie. the shorthand sharks had a contest today. Before the contest they herded a group of reader, off into a quiet hotel room and let them pra< lice talking fast. To c.nduct the contest they had to have someone who could : putter out 250 words a mipute. The stenographer hardly bother to take notes when one speaks fewer than 280 a minute. The reporter who can ropy 2S0 arui make fewer than seven mistakes will win the silver trophy cup that Nathan Fehrein of New York City has held for a year. At the rate they're going, the delegates expect soon to be dashing off 330 a minute. Outside of a few senators, however, they’ve found no one who could speak so quickly as all that. After listening to members of the association one gathers that they think and lake dictation like this: ''C.entiemen of the ury: "You have listened to thp* grave charge from the state (wish this bird would step on it a bit) that my client broke into a saloon (wonder when I get my vacation and how long) and stole 17 quarts of Scotch. (If that guy giomnted J7 quarts his lawyer got Hi.) This, gentlemen, is rldieu J lotis on its very face (wish they'd let me whittle in court be play the zither or something to pass time) tjecause my client makes such good moon shine himself (I'll have to keep the prisoner's address) that lie doesn't il Don’t take our word for it We might talk “till the cows come home” about the supe riorflavor.the smooth, creamy richness of MacLaren’s May onnaise Products, and still you would have only our word for it. The best way, the one certain way to find out whether we have really produced a dress ing that is better; even better than the best home-made,is to try it. If you don’t say it’s the best you ever tasted it won’t cost you a cent. Fair, isn’t it? We are so confident you will pronounce MacLaren’a Mayonnaise Products the best you ever tasted, that we have instructed your dealer to return the price you pay if you do not think they are.

Chicago ■ °\emTork • San Francisco have to go out and steal other people's.” From that it will lie seen that the average shorthand reporter can read several to-be-contlnued magazine ate rles while his dictator Is making up his mind. They're worrying about something rise. too. They wish to Improve the allusions used in ordinary conversa tlon. When a candidate says, for ex ample: "When Stephen Decatur remarked. I regret that I have but one life to lhe for my country—etc., the re porter lets Kthan Allen say it and the candidate is elected. Indeed, the state legislature must, he jammed with lawgivers who owe everything to their stenographers.
