Funds tor its establishment were donated by Mrs. H. E. Talboft. wealthy society matron of Dayton. f . After only three years it has degistered 200 students from 14 - states. , Each year ' the Dayton Westminster choir, composed of 0 of the best men and women sing fers of the school, goes on tour. Be fore the end of February It will have siren concerts in more than a dozen eastern states. Walter Dam rose h has said that this is the finest choral organiza tion In America, and the equal of . any he has heard in Europe, even being superior to the Sistine and other famous Italian choirs. 7 j . John Finley. Williamson, con- doctor of the choir and director of 4 the schodl, started the organiza tion as a form of recreation for : the business people of the city. s Today about 1,400 voices sins un , der Williamson and his teachers. ;"; fSuch a movement, will hare enormous artistic -raftre when it reaches its full growth' says Wal ter Damrosch.: Many "cities "and towns never hear . good music. While they cannot support a sym-j .? pnony orchestra, they could easily ' form a good choir, which could offer the local public the works of the great composers, which at present are sadly neglected." CITY SEWAGE MADE VALUABLE PRODUCT it (Continued from page 14) "" ' , VBSSSSSSBSSaawk ; in size since Its construction. Is 'Considered one of the best of its type In existence." Known as the activated sludge system, it is of a type used successfully for years in England and Germany. In this country, Milwaukee has such a plant, considerably larger, that Is regarded as a model of its kind. Chicago Is preparing to build such . a plant to cost 135,000,000. One 1other California city, Lodl, has a small one and Pomona is planning one. Los Angeles, which pours its sewage Into the Pacific, may be forced someday to build one. - The plant on the Pasadena City -farm receives about 7,000,000 gal lons of sewage a day. With Its "present eauiDment. It eonld handiA several million gallons more and" as it is built on a unit plan, ad 4l it ions can be made at mere con -Stractlon cost.. The power house is ample for twice the present ca pacity. Other neighboring cities are considering plans for send ing their sewage to the plant by Many Salem people are making the ' Campbell Court Hotel Heir Home When in Portland A pleasant place to live, in beauti ful surroundings.

JEAN CAMPBELL , Owner and Manager means of extension sewer lines. .The principle en Which the Trl- Clty plant operates Is that et aer ation, the introduction ot air in' to the sewage working a chemical change by mechanical means. Sewage, to begin, contains septic bacteria, but the air, thoroughly incorporated into- it, kills these and Introduces In their place ni trifying : bacteria which are said actually to digest the contents of the water, changing it Into a total ly different substance. Such is the scientific explanation given by A. W. Wyman, the plant super intendent. I When the sewage " first enters the plant it is screened to remove all . undissolved ' substances. Mr. Wyman says that an average of 10 per cent of the solids of the sewage is removed in this 6 train ing. This J ten per cent, mostly paper. Is hauled to the fields and buried. The 3 0 per cent of solids remaining is In the water, almost, it seems, in , solution, and this flows from the straining room into the great aeration ; tanks. Here air is pumped in from the power plant. There are thirty concrete tanks, each seventy feet long, ten feet wide and fifteen feet deep. The sewage is circclated from one to another of : these, the aera'Jon process requiring four - hours, when the work of nitrification Is complete. Practically no odor is noticeable above the tanks, which are open to the air. -The water is next Introduced in to : five re-aeration tanks of . di mensions, similar, to those of the others. Then t Is forced Into five clarifying tanks, fifty by fifty feet Here the water .drops Its sediment, now in the form of a grayish pow der, t' At the bottoms of the clari fying tanks are great, slowly re volving sweeps which gather up the sediment in an outlet whence it goes to the . fertilizer depart ment. The water, now 'Quite clear, is further treated with chlorine gas. Mr. Wyman says that' 97 per cent of all the septic bacteria are destroyed by aeration, .and that the chlorlnation kills the rest, so that the water issues from the plant so nearly pure as to be quite inoffensive. It goes right onto the farm and' there is more than enough for all purposes. The sur plus is run through a concrete pipe line to empty into the Rio Hondo some miles away, ' ' ; Make Good Fertilizer ; ; The sludge" or sediment is run in Just enough water to carry it into another building in which great vacuum drums fourteen feet long and about twelve feet In dia meter slowly revolve , through the mass. The vacuum draws the substance np on webbing on the drum surfaces and extracts a good deal ot the remaining moisture. The sludge - then appears . very much like thick damp sheets of heavy paper and is peeled off the drums by big' shuttle knives then dropped in sheets Into an endless conveyor and taken to a dehydra tor. This latter Is the newest part of the equipment. 'Formerly the sludge was used without dry ing for fertilizer, tnat In excess of requirements being buried, but because some . odor 614 develop after it had stood awhile, the 6e-l hydrator was installed. This is a big cylindrical affair and pro vides; -; high temperature, caus ing the iudge to come out in the form of a gray , powder, odorless and easily sacked. . . - v rn ' From the records of the well- equipped laboratory maintained at the plant it is found ' that thjs substance contains approxi mately 70 per cent organic mat ter, of particular value In mak ing humus for Southern California soils; an average oK.lt per cent available nitrogen, a IKtle over 2 per cent prosphoric acid and about one-fourth of one per cent potash. It is regarded by many users as of decided worth and Mr. Wyman states that it recently has had a market value of S3 5 a tbnr r The plant turns out from 30 to 0 tons of wet cludge every 24 hours." and from this the finished fertilizer, is ordinarily produced at the rate of from seven to eight tons a day. The plant works 24 hours In the day . and employs about 30 men. .- !;-. : ; Some Cost Figures The Tri-CIty sewage disposal plant cost about $1,000,000, as ft stands today, and Its maintenance is given at about 1125,090 ; per per annum. As it serves about 25.000 persons the . annual cost 'or sewage handling for the thres cities figures : about a dollar a year per capita. Howeveif, there .re the items on the credit side of the ledger.: " ! , Of course, the farm uses a large amount of the fertiliser. The past several r hundred I tons ! of it were sold at wholesale, although the plan Is to develop the sales direct to the consumer. Some of the Inoffensive residue is ; still burled, hut it is the hope of the management that enough demand for the dry fertilizer can be de veloped to enable the city to dis pose of all of the sludge in this form. The market for the; sacked product is expected to grow as its merits become better known, an,d Mr. Wyman states that at $35 a ton, there could now be; enough output to bring in around $90,- 000 a year. Figuring in the value of fertilizer and water used on the farm, there is possibility of a return, he says, that will go " far toward making the plant self-supporting. " - s Regardless of economic con siderations, the plant seems to of fer the most satisfactory method of disposing of a city's sewage that has even been found. Al most' every week engineers of other cities come to inspect the workings of the system.' " : 1 . The disposal of sewage is a problem of tbe utmost importance for any city the larger the city, and the faster it is growing, the greater the problem. i It is becom lng more and more evident that dumping sewage into a river, or shooting it Into the ocean is not a satisfactory method of solving the difficulty. The former inevi tably leads to contamination and the possible breeding of epidemics. Nor does the-sea prove an Ideal place for sewage, f f Airplane passengers flying out over the Pacific relate that from the great Los Angeles j outfall sewer &ettoe jrtTee t sewage mmaAuei through tfc blue ocean waves for. miles offshore. It does not dkwolv and vanish Into the depths by any mean, at least not tat ft loaf time, and it la always nowlng. At the whist ot shlfUng eurrenta and stormy winds It may, and sometime does, visit the beaches along the Southern Cali fornia shoreline. . Not a pleasant thought tor the coast dwellers or the folk who find joy in surf bathing. Already there may be heard the rumbling of commun ity, state and federal discontent over this unwholesome state of affairs. The aeration system, with pro per equipment like that on the Pasadena City 1 Farm, obviously robs the sewage of Its offensive character and turns it into some thing that not only can be more easily disposed of, but which can actually be made use of. ,lt also helps .conserve water, an impor tant consideration in this part of the country. Los Angeles may some day thank Pasadena for hav ing pointed the .way to the solu tion of 6ne of its most trying mu nicipal problems. " 1 (The Los Angeles Times Farm and Orchard Magazine prints with the article above some pictures made from photographs taken on the Pasadena city farm, one show tng a bumper crop of potatoes be ing harvested with mule-drawn diggers, and : one showing corn Trowing on the farm, more than twice the height ot a man's head. (How; tall the man is. is not shown.) One important part of the operation of the sewage treat ment plant, for the Pasadena dis trict, as It would be in the Salem f Istrict, Is the fact that the water purified, does irrigation ,.auty. One of the first big eWes to the world to scientlflcallr treat it sewage was Berlin. Germany, as large as Chicago. The city ot Berlin has large municipally owned gardens, and the sewage is treated and used for fertilizer there and the city of Berlin gets a profit ftrom the whole operation: x net profit above the large cost Ed. . Ringing Bells In One Church Athletic Feat PARIS. (AP) Ringing the bells in the church of St. Germain l'Auxerrois Is so much of a he-man Job that the bell-ringer. Monsieur Maxime Bigarelle, strips to the waist when he tackles it every Sunday morning. When M. Big arelle breaks loose with the Mar seillaise, he gives an exhibition that combines some of the more strenuous features of punching the bag, punting footballs, and giving someone a good swift kick. The ancient keyboard, the same used on St Bartholomew's bloody day in 1572, requires heavy punch ing and heavier footwork to make the wires pull the clappers. - Mr. Bigarelle, a pupil ot the famous Belgian bell-ringer, Jef Benyn, is thinking of inventing another one that will require less labor. He doesn't get paid for his bell-ring ing. He just does It for the love of It and for the exercise. Perfect!

According to an almost obliter ated Inscription on a stone near the wonder-working fountain, "Baalclflem, founder of the Chassl dis sect of Jews, immersed himself here 300 times, in the days of the rigors of the winter of 1744, and found the waters heal all ills, re lieve all evil and restore fecundity to sterile women." News of the discovery has spread far and wide, and an un ending chain of thousands of pious Polish Jews, among them the lame, the halt, the unhappy and the blind, are journeying to the spot on foot, horseback, car riage or automobile, - Tens of thousand of bottles of ttie water are being carried away by the believers. The municipal authorities are being petitioned to build a hotel near the spot to ac commodate the throng of pilgrims. 3 Dr. Munkacs Spiro whom the Austrian and Polish Jews call the "Wonder Rabbi," and who is said to be the greatest authority! on Judaism, has come to Ronsperg to Investigate the claims made for the fountain. This is said to be the first time In history that the Jewish race has exploited a miraculous shrine ot this kind. HYPNOTISM IN HOLDUPS NEW YORK CITY A young bandit, when called before the judge on a charge of robbing Ralph 'Sanches, a diamond mer chant in his hotel of his keys to his Fifth Avenue office said: "Your honor, I am not a criminal, I was hypnotized by my -master whose will is stronger than mine and I was helpless." But evident ly the master's power wore off be cause the bandit was unable to open the safe and was surprised at his work by three detectives. But he was unable to recall the name of his master.
