4 MILLION REQUIRED T0 DIVERT SEWAGE Three Interceptor Systems to Protect Potomac and Aid Maryland. A total appropriation of $1,015,0 1s needed to complete the three big in- terceptor sewers which have been under construction for a number of vears to catch the raw sewage which now empties into the Potom r according to an estimate m night by J. B. Gordon, District sani- neer. ordon, who supervises the sewer system of the District, pledged -operation in carrying out the about to be started by the United States Public Health Service, in conjunction with the District Health Department, to determine the present condition of the waters of the Potomac with respect to the pos- sible establishment of bathing beaches in the river itself. g The proposes survey is of timely in- terest to the people of tbe District, si; Congress recently took a stand inst the continuance of bathing hes in the Tidal Basin At Seven Points. Mr. Gordon said the completion of the Rock Creek, the Upper Potomac and the Upper Anacostia interceptor sewers would free the Potomac of the rude sewage which now flows into the river at seven points Even after the completion of the big interceptors a small amount of sewage, mixed with large quantities of storm water, would still get into the river through the storm water sewers during periods of rain, Mr. Gordon explained. To what extent this situation would interfere with bathing probably will receive consideration during the sur- vey, which is expected to last several mont The bea sanitary engineer explained that the reason some sewage gets into the river with the storm water flow during rains is that Washington has what is known as a combined sewer There are, according to Mr. Gordon, about 100 outlet points along the Potomac River, the Anacostia River, the Washington channel and the lower part of Rock Creek for storm water, and some sewage mixes with this storm water in time of rain. Deemed Proper Sytem. Mr. Gordon said no project has ever been contemplated for the in- terception of these 100 storm-water outlets. When the sewer system of the District was designed, Mr. Gordon said, the combined system was deemed a proper one In normal weather, he pointed out, no raw sewage goes into the river from these 100 storm outlets, but it is carried off through small mains to the pumping station at the foot of New Jersey avenue, and thence piped to 1+ point three miles below Washing- ton Barracks. The small mains are connected with rger storm-water sewers, how ever, and in time of rain the flow and extends into these larger leading to the river front, rying with it a percentage of the k e that would normally go to the pumping station. Mr. Gordon pointed out this operation occufring in the storm-water sewers leading to the river, the river itself is swollen by the rain, tending to reduce further the amount of pollution The sanitary engineer emphatized the fact, however, that there are only seven points at which raw sewerage flows into the river all the time, and they are the places that will be in- tercepted and abolished by the three projects now under way. Large Amount Spent. that when A large sum of money already has | heen expended over a period of years in béginning the three interceptors, but it will take several years longer, even with liberal allotments, to com- plete them. Mr. Gordon's detailed program of the funds still required to intercept the raw sewage now flowing into the Potomac is as follows: To complete the Upper Potomac interceptor, $405,- 000 needed; to complete the Upper Anacostia interceptor, $498.000; to in- tercept sewage flowing in from Sligo and Woodside, Md., $46,000, and to intercept sewage from Capitol Heights, Maryland Park and Seat Pleasant, Md., $66,000. When these pleted to the necessary, under interceptors are com- District line it will be plans that are al- being worked out, to hav Maryland connect its nearby sewers with the local interceptors The completion of the projects men- tioned will free the Potomac and Ana costia Rivers of all raw sewage, and there will then remain only the diluted sewage which gets in with the storm water during rainy weather. Rock Creek Provision, The District has the necessary amount to finish the Rock Creek in- terceptor, to free Rock Creek of pol lution, during the next fiscal year. Mr. Gordon said the District already has acquired land near Blue Plains on which to erect, at some future date, a sewage disposal plant, which would chemically treat the raw sewage before it is emptied into the river at the present outlet three miles down from Washington. This project, however, Mr. Gor- don said, would have no, relation to the possibilities of bathing along the local river front, since the raw sewage is already taken by pipe to this point three mliles away. The purpose of this disposal plant would he to purify the sewage before it zoes into the river, three miles be- low Washington. st o SCOTCH ISLAND INSTALLS SUBSTITUTE FOR RADIO Arranges to Call Doctor From Mainland With Flares and Carrier Pigeons. Correspondence of the Associated Press ATLSA CRAIG, Scotland, April 5.— This little island off the coast of Scot- land, near where the Clyde reaches salt water one of the lomeliest places of the British Isles, in the ab- sence of radio inaugurated recently a series of signals for commungeation with Great Britain in case of emer- gency. There are but 40 inhabitants—old- fashioned fishermen’ and lighthouse tenders—and no one has ever thought of installing a wireless outfit. In- stead, arrangements have been made with a medical practitioner on the mainland and a system of signals by manner of bonfires and carrier pigeons agreed to, so that the doctor may be summoned to visit the island in case of sickness. ‘The Royal Commission on National Health Insurance has agreed to pay for the boat hire for the physiclan whenever he is needed by the lonely island inhabitants.

DUBLIN, April 6—The Pioneer Total Abstinence Association of Ire- land, the conditions of membership of which prescribe that no one cam join until he has totally abstained for two years from any form of alcohol, is not satisfied that St. Patrick’s day, 1925, was as dry as the legislature in- tended. All drink shops were closed, but there was an exemption in favor of bona fide travelers. One had only to go outside the city boundary, it was sald, to get all the drink desired. E. Baird, F. Seitz, G. NOBLEWOMAN MANAGES BIG BRITISH STOCK FARM Correspondence of the Associated Press. CHESSINGTON, England, April 10, —One of the largest stock farms in England is managed by a woman, Lady Barker of Barwell Court, famous for its Percheron horses. Lady Barker is not only owner of the estate, but is the actual superintendent of the farm stock. Barwell Court includes among its fowls a large number of white fantail pigeons, which came from the palace of Abdul Hamid. Several pairs of these birds were pre- sented to Queen Alexandra and de- veloped into one of the outdoor sights of Sandringham House. Also at Barwell are two Percheron horses presented to the late Sir Francis Barker by M. Clemenceau, who himself owns one of the finest Percherons in France. L) .probably TELLS HOW HOT SUN MAKES CITIES COOLER AT SCIENCE PARLEY (Continued from Page.) same as saying. Mr. Clayton explained that the heat of the sun itself changed from day to day through various in fluences, sun spots and the like. Mr. Clayton has found that when there is a marked upward swing on these variations for a day or so an inter.se high pressure area is created over Canada, which results in driving the hot air north and the cold air south. This affects the United States as far south as Washington and ed by hotter weather rth. Contrast Is Sharp. When the solar radiation drops down sharply from the constant the usual result is that the center of high atmospheric pressure is shifted south, always pushing the cold air still further south and the warm air north. Thus Washington probably would be suffering very hot weather while Florida might be unusually cool, as the result of such a drop. The local effect around the shift- ing high pressure areas is almost in- stantaneous, Mr. Clayton said, but before Washington would feel the cooling effect of a high-pressure area over Canada several days would be required for the heat waves to make their way south. Although this gen- eral theory holds, he pointed out, it is not fair to apply it without a| thorough understanding of all other factors that enter into weather vari- atlons. Tt seems to bring better re- sults when applied to the Middle West. The Atlantic coast, with the disturbing effect of the ocean, does | not seem to respond so readily. Forecasts Days Ahead. By this method Mr. Clayton claims that he is able to predict weather with fair exactitude for five days ahead and that the general trend of weather can be forecast for weeks and even a month ahead. At this time he might be able to say that May would be a hot or cold month, but could not say whether any particular day more than ks away would be hot or cold. vton developed his theories in Argentina, where, however, some- what different local ‘conditions obtain than in the United States. He has been applying it recently to deductions for New York City. None of his fore- casts have been published since both he and Dr. Abbot are -anxious to get them on a more unassailable basis be- fore giving them to the world. The mean constant values for two- week periods now are published by Dr. Abbot, thus giving anybody who cares to predict with them an_oppor- tunity to do so. Weather Bureau statistics yesterday in a_ public de- bate with Dr. Abbot and Mr. Clayton expressed themselves as still skep- tical of the method, although willing to co-operate in any way possible. New Corelations Found. Mr. Clayton said: “We constantly are finding more and more corelations between the variations from the solar constant and the actual weather that follows. T presume that a good many people will try to make weather pre- dictions by the method following the pyblication of my paper today. That will do us no good unless these peo- ple have a fundamental understanding of all the factors that enter into weather changes.” W. I. Milham of Williams College, who presided at the sessibn yester- told of his observations of tem- ture variations and light during total eclipse of the sun in Janu- . There was a total of two degrees centigrade drop, he found, during the approximately two hours while the moon was crawling across the sun. Measurements of light showed that this was of almost exactly the same intensity as on a night when the moon is fuli. Other Papers Read.

By the Associated Press. PARIS, May 2—The municipal elections’ to he held throughout France tomorrow will attract greater interest than is customary, as they are expected to be an expression as to whether the country, which had undergone a change in political mind since the legislative elections of May, 1924, still favors the left group or has been won over by the more con- servative element. Discontent over the administration of the late Herriot government ap- pears to be far reaching, but the Painleve - Briand - Caillaux cabinet, whose declaration has been much more moderate than the original Left group’s policy, is likely to interpret as success whatever turn the elec- tions take, providing it is not too far either to the Right or to the Left. However, the indications are that both the extreme groups will gain in tomorrow's elections to the detriment of the Center party. Voting begins at 8 o'clock tomor- row morning, and will continue until 6 o'clock in the evening. The main results in Paris and other large cities probably will be available tomorrow night, but the final figures for the entire country will not be forth- coming for two or three days. The Communists have made a very spirited campaign, as have the Right Catholic elements. On the other hand, the Left Center groups have remained somewhat in the back- ground, apparently relying on effi- ciency and the patronage system, as exercised by the prefects of the de- partments, to bring the electors to their support.
