The Tribuna today explained the report a8 having originated in a confusion of the premler's motor road an hour after the head of the government had passed. The ree port, it says, was widely circulated in financial eircles and caused alarm on the stook exchange with ocon- fequent fluctuations In stock quota- tions. According to the newspap: exe planation, two new motor cars, traveling from Brescia to Rome to be numbered and llcensed by their new owhers, were fired upon by an unknown person when they were passing a sharp curve.in the road between Radicofani and Acquapen- dente. Ono bullet passed through the second car at the helght of a man's head but injured no one since the car was empty except for the driver. The bullet later was found |l|~;1nd between rocks at the road-| side.

B, Pike, of Military Training Gamps Is Praised P Washington, Sept. 4.—Secretary Weeks commended President Chas, B. Pike of the military training camps’ assoclation for the assistance given to the war department “to in- sure the success of the defense test.” Mr. Pike, who resides in Chieago, 1§ gJso chief civilian aide to the sec- refary of war and Mr. Weeks said in 4 letter to him that the civilian aides and the training camps’ assoclation had “mdde many valuable sugges- tions” in connectlon with plans for the defense test 50 that the arrange- ments made for that' day would “conform to the state of American | opinion and the condition of Ameri- can life.” “They have enabled us to Keep our plans thoroughly democratie and popular in character,” Mr. Weeks added. “The interost and aid of the citizens prove that the volunteer training prograrh devised to improve our youth fits the typical traditions of America.” Mr. Weeks also commented on the “steady growth" of the training camps in Which “thousands on thou- sands of American youths” had been informed of the fundamental ele- ments which the country would need In war time: A knowledge of hyglene and of the elementary factors of discipline, and of patriotie loyalty and civie responsibility. Rithmetic OTY I NED OF NEW SEWAGE PLANT (Continued from First Page) and adequate |nlullnuon of same 18 the great problem ahead of the oity, I will give the rest of my time to & Aiscussion of the worls of the ex- perimental station. This station was located ‘At the site of the New Bflwu sewage disposal plant. Continuous 24 hours sampling and oporating began May 24, 1920. The station consisted of & pumping plaft, grit chamber, main welr box, aotiyated sludge plant, Imhoff sprinkling fliter plant, Miles acid plant, screening plant, and an oper- ating huilding. ‘The systems considered were the present process of large area fliter b for intermittent operation fl with or without preliminary n, actlyated sludge process, Imhoff sprifkling fliter process, Miles acid process. “The present system qonsists of sower beds bullt in 1904, 32 beds of one acre each, and one added later ot five acrés area. A small per cent of the area is clay, the rest is gravel and Joam. The beds are un- Arained and when working properly the process W& as follows: “The seWage is run onto a fllter bed and theh shut off from that bed and .run onto another, The water passes through the bed to the drains. The bed ls sliowed to dry And the sun and air on the sur- face, and the air 211 down through the fliter Bed act on the sewage and exidize it to a steble condition, Thie bed again flooded and the action repeated.. About once .a month the dry solids are taken trom the surface and trucked to the dump. TFactory Wastes Clog Filters. “One of the great troubles has been due to faotory wastes which have clogged the filters and under- drains thus preventing the filters from drying. This prevents air from passing down through the fil- ers and oxidizing this sewage. “When the filters clog then the unfiltered sewage overflows into Wil- low Brook, and so into the Matta- bessett river, “Recently a Dorr screen was in- stalled through which the sewage passes before going to the filter beds. This Dorr acreen takes out about 25 per cent of the suspended solids, and thus greatly relleves the load on the filters. The effluent from the Dorr screen goes onto the beds and is acted on by sun and air, as de- scribed above, This arrangement of screen and filters has been operating for some time and conditions are somewhat better than before the screen was added but they are very far from satisfactory, and we are faced with the immediate necessity of. installing an up-to-date efficient system for disposing of the sewage. “The results of the tests made at the experimental station are very valuable in giving us information to make it possible to decide on the proper plant to put in, and the size this plant should be. There can be no excuse for further delay, and the money must be appropriated. studied were: Miles actd process, ac- | tivated sludge, Tmhoff sprinkling | filter. In the Miles acid proce sulphurous anhydride, § O 2, is in- troduced into the sewage. The re- action that follows liberates fatty acids, and also has a germi- cidal effect on the bacteria. The sludge 18 drled and treated with naphtha or a similar solvent, and the grease thus recovered is used for soaps and greases. ‘“The experimental plant consist- ed of a tank about 6 ft. in diameter and 11 ft. deep. The sewage was run in through a four inch pipe, run- ning down about one foot below the water level, then horisontal to the center of the tank, and them down to & point 18 fnches from the bot- tom. The low end ‘of the pipe was expanded to a bell shape. “The 8 O 2 gas was introduced ‘into the sewage from a cylinder and the most satisfactory place to in- troduce ‘it was found to be ia the vertical pipe about three feet above the bell end. This process proved unsatisfactory and was drepped. “The two other processes, activat- ed sludge and Imhoft sprinkling fil- ter, were tried and both proved sat- isfactory, Both processes plan to make the sludge or residue stable through oxidation and bacteriologi- cal action. More or less of the solids are carried off in a clear and odor- less effluent. “The activated sludge process uses the Arobic bacteria, which requi plenty of air for their life and growth. The Imhoft sprinkling filter process uses a septlc tank in which A T-reel feature interest to everyone. “As I sald above, the three plans | free | become soluble by the process and | there is no air, and the sewage is decomposed by the Onafoblc bac- terla, and Rhere is some settlement of the heavy sludge. The sewage i3 drawn from this tank and sprinkled over a coarse fllter where the Aro. ble bacterla and air complete }hu t;utment of the sewage, “For the activated sludge process small bubbles of air are’ blown through a tank of sqwage, causing the Arobie bactéria to grow rapidly and the sludge thus' formed has chemical and biological properties of value in the treatmont of sewage and 18 known as activated sludge. “The activated sludge is then mix- ed with crude sewage in an aeration tank which is agitated with an air blast, the whole mass hecoming thor« oughly treated. This treated sewage is then run into a settling tank ‘where the sfudge settles out quickly; and fhe eftluent or liquid which rung off 18 clear water, white and odorless and bacterla very low. Eunough of thé activated sludge is pumped back and used for treating more crude sewage, and the rest run onto filters and dried. “At the experimental station Targe wooden tanks were used, with con- crete covered bottoms and wood baffles, and (the air was blown through the sewage through filtros plates in the bottom. “A turbine blower was used to furnish the air under the necessary pressure, The air was also used .to 1ift the settled sludge to the reaera- tion tank, or to the sludge drylnl beds. “A further test was mdde to try the acld heat flotation process, for de-watéring the sludge by the addis tion of acld and application of heat. The acid caused the suspended sludge to shrink, and the heat caused further shrinkage, and the sludge became light and floated, and the clear water was drawn from the bot- tom of the tank. This acid heat treat- ment was to help in the drying and disposal of the sludge. “The third process tried out at the experimental statlon was the Imhoff sprinkling filter, This also proved successful in handling the sewage, As 1 sald earlier, this procesw: double treatment; A septic tank where the sewage is decomposed by one kind of bagteria which lives where air is not present, called Anar. abic bacteria, and the treatment-omn & coarse filter where the treatment 1s completed by the bacteria requiring afr, called Arobic, “Wooden tanks were used for the experimental work, and the sewage was pumped to the first of ‘se) tank, where it was partially decom« posed. The ‘effiuent was pumped to the filter which formed the second part of the process. Here 1t was sprayed at interval§ on a filter con- sisting of underdrains, and one foot of four inch crushed stone, with five feet of two inch crushed stone on top. The intervals of spraying were one minute spraying, and threé mine utes' resting. “One advantage of this process is the fact that the area of the filters do not need to be large, because of the first treatment in the septio tank. These filters will handle two militon gallons par day, per acre, whereas, our present when working properly, will handle only 50,000 gallons per day per acre, The effluent from the Imhoff gprinkling flter plént was as clear, and odorless, as from the acti- vated sludge process. “The difference in cost of installa. tion of these two systems, and the difference in annual operating cost of these two systems, are matters of detail for the experts to work out, and study. The point we should all be interested in, is to insist that the problem be worked out and present. ed to the .city government, so that the necessary money can be appro- priated, and-we can obtaln an ade- quate and sanitary plant, for the disposal of the sewage of the city.” BLAME HOME BREW FOR WOMEN'S ROW Wile Finds Husband Acting as “Host in the Cellar A hurried call for the police pa- trol and police was recelved on the telephone at police headquarters last night from a man living in the house at 47 Belden street, who told fhe police in a trembling and ex- cited volce that two women were battling in the cellar and that knives were being brought into play. s ‘Thn patrol was rushed to the house and the police found that there had | |been a hot argument there, and | that one of the women had fainted “The Reason’ film telling a story of | Bristol Store:’ 185 Main St. We're Showing Some of the Most Remarkable School Suits with 2 pairs of Knickers pay for such good quality and style it4 Other School Suits and upwards to ...
