^ 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

Every day of the year, no matter the condi

tank trucks haul 18,000 gallons of milk into
Detroit from points as distant as 120 mile*.
They are operated by Ira Wilson & Sons.
The oldest Dual-Valve Pierce-Arrow now
has traveled more than 100,000 miles—all since
October, 1920. At 80.000 miles it was over
hauled for the first time.
“We expected to spend a lot of money for
new parts,” says a letter from the firm, "but we
spent less than $25- The rear axle (worm-drive)
and transmission were perfect and we could
find no need to replace any part of the engine."

Your haulage job may not be so exacting as
that of Ira Wilson & Sons. But isn’t Pierce

Shorthand Writers Are Worried
'Cause People Wont Talk Faster
Chicago. Aug. 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

From that it will lie seen that the

several to-be-contlnued magazine ate

his mind.
