Plain_ville News WATER CO. OPERATES [TS PUMPING PLANT Town to Be Furnished Wilh Well Water During the Summer. RESERVO.R SUFPLY DISCONTINUED Barrows to Be In Charge of Plant— I'ell and Dislocated Knee—Dance at Country Club—Expect Return of Pastor—Busy at Freight Yards. Water from wells in the Mountain View section is to he furnished to the townspeople fromynow on, according to the plans of Supt. Joseph N. Mc Kernan of the water company. McKernan has had the machinery overhauled at the pumping station and the pumps were put into opera- tion yesterday afternoon. They will be run every day during the summer and it is the intention to discontinue using the reservoir water until cold weather, During the past week there has been a noticeable change in the water supplied to the company's patrons. The growth of vegetable matter In the bottom of the reservoir has been responsible for a most unpleasant taste to the water. This condition exists every summer and the sinking of the wells was planned as an im- provement for the summer supply. Although the reservoir water dur- ing the warm weather has almost a nauseating flavor, the analysis which Supt. McKernan has had made every week by chemists shows it to be pure and in no way unfit for human con- sumption. Preparatory to starting the pump- ing plant, the company had all its hydrants and dead ends flushed. It will probably be a day or two before all the reservoir water is out of the plpes and the improvement will not be very noticeable until then. The well water is not only clear and pure, but is unusually cold. It is consid- ered superior to the water furnished in any part of the state, While the pumps will not be oper- ated at night, the supply from the wells will be continued after the plant closes, the water coming from the company's big stand pipe, located near the reservoir. A, C. Barrows will be in charge of the pumping station, Fell ‘and Dislovated Knee. Jackson M¢Kee of Park street will be confined to hls home for some time as the result of an accident yes- terday. While on his way home Mr. McKee was walking on the railroad tracks. A short distance below the Main street crossing he tripped and in falling dislocated his knee. He was found in a helpless con- dition a short time later and was taken to his home. Dance at Country Club. Members of the tango class, which concluded its meetings a few weeks ago, are anticipating a most pleasant time tomorrow evening when .they will go to the country glub in Farm- ington for a social and “dance. Ar- rangements have been made to bring the party to Farmington in autos owned by members. Music for the dancing will be fur- nished by Lynch’s orchestra of New Britain. A luncheon will be served.

The notable revival in dancing, | which has come about through the introduction of the tango and other | South American dances, has had | somewhat of a stimulative effect upen the silk industry by reason of. the greater number of dancing gowns required, not only by women of fash- | fonable soclety but also by women of moderate means, who dine out much more than formerly. 'The custom | of dancing in the afternoon as well as at dinner and after the theater has become almost universal in New York city, and the craze for this form of amusement is rapidly spread- ing to other cities and towns through- out the county. Every woman who yields herself to this most popular fad needs a much larger watdrabe. which usually means a greater ver- fety of dancing and dinner costumes of silk- - Tn order to meet this situn- tion our silk manufacturers have out many fabrics especially | | Not only has the increased popu- larity of dancing stimulated cg dustry, but the great dressmak Paris have almost outdone thems in bringing out original and fascina- ting creations in silks and satins, The influence of oriental fashions together with the new impressionistic tenden- cles in art have combined in an al- together unusual manner to produce this effect. Bold, striking colors, startling con- | trasts and bizarre effects not only in color but in contour and line have been the rage.’ No fabrics have lent | themselves to these fashions as read- | fly silks. The majority of these effects could hardly be produced in | other fabrics. ! Most lavish in decorative effects are many of the orlental gowns, em- | bellished as they are with the richest | embroideries of gold or silver thread, or tinsel, or the rich, brilllant em- broidery silks which are now pro- duced by our American manufactur- ers in such a varlety of styles and colors. Incidentally we might re- mark that the present fashions =0 tavorable to elaborate cffects have been of no small benefit to the man- ufacturer of embroidery silks. Since the eves of the world have South America, not only on account of the revolution in the former coun- try but also by reason of the con- | struction of the Panama canal, fash- | ton detafls having their origin in the land of the Aztecs, the Teltecs and the Incas have been making frequent appearance. Fashlon creators are ransacking all Central and South American coun- tries to find things which they can turn to their account. Fven in Bo- livia, “the roof of the world,” one of the most isolated of human habita- tions, the costumes of the native men and women have been made to give up ideas to the unresting seekers after the new in fashions, Never has the search for the orig- inal, the beautiful and startling as well as the graceful and the picturesque been so urgent and so persistent.

(Scranton Truth.) According to the commander of Department of the Potomac, G. A. Ryl war veterans have been discharged trom the civil service and others are fearful of a like fate; so It is planned) to protect them by suit based upom the law of August 20, 1912, which specifically forblds the discharge from| the civil service of war veterans with good records. Postmaster General Burleson, from whose department, veterans are alleged to hive been re- moved, is reputed as sayving that as he| -onstrues the law it hasinot been vio= lated. Surely this is a law which should be most liberally construed, with thel veteran recelving the benefit of every doubt. If there is not “ple” enough tc go around without disturbing the 0ld soldiers, the hungry ones ought to be made to wait. There are not very many left of the men who fought to preserve the Union fifty years ago, cers tainly not enough to constitute a bure | den upon the treasury, and a very few vears will see the problem of the veteran buried. But, in their few remaining days, this great government can afford to be generous in its treat: ment of them, and it cannot afford te appear in a court of law seeking to justify dismissing them from office. While the war veteran will ceass to trouble, the present agitation may well serve to forcibly impress congress again with the imperative necessity of providing a pension system for ems= poyes of the Civil service who have grown old and become incapacitated in the government's employ. The néed of a pension system has been recognized for years, and it is a mel- ancholy reflection on the government of the United States that it is so far behind the governments of Europe and the great corporations of this country, wbich it is so fashionable as to bait and herate in congress, with respect to providing for its worn-out employes.
