WATER, -AS A RULE, is taken for granted. ~Turn™ a faucet—out it comes. Some people drink it; straight ~—others mix if,- ‘Doctors claim it is essential to life although there are persons who would dispute that theory. No matter what you think of water, the purification of the stuff is a big business and a com= plicated one. Even its structure is complicated. Two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen combine to make—H20. Tricky, isn't it? Cecil K. Calvert, superintendent of the White river purification plant of the Indianapolis Water Co. can talk as easily about water purification as a mother can about her new baby. Of course, he's been working with water since 1908. And he's not tired of it, either, he drinks some “every day. According to Mr. Calvert, the water you get in your home comes from White river. It finds it way to the plant by entering an inlet above the Broad Ripple dam and follows the canal to the plant. At that point there’s too much guff and stuff in the water for human consumption. It may also have an odor or a taste. People who pay their water bills have a right to use pure water. The water comes into sedimentation basins, There are two types. Slow and fast basins for slow and fast sand filters. The older type, slow basin, has an area of 15 acres and holds a capacity of 45000000 gallons of water. The rapid basin is much smaller with a capacity of 1,500,000 gallons. But it processes water much quicker as the name indicates, The rapid basin does in two hours what the slow basin does in 48.

Chlorine Finally Added

A SPECIFIED AMOUNT of aluminum sulphat sojution is pumped into the basins. It collects particles of mud, clay silt, and organic matter and settles to the bottom. White river water isn’t the cleanest stuff in the world. In the rapid filter plant I got thirsty. Mr. Calvert showed me a fountain, The water tasted exceptionally good. I thought it must have been direct from the plant and pretty fresh. Mr. Calvert said “No, the water you are drinking probably left the plant 24 hours ago, traveled a mile to the pumping station and another mile back here.” It was all in my head, Seems like a funny way to do things. Pump water out and then pump it back to its source. Well, anyway, the water goes into filter basins from the sedimentation basins. Here the water filters through a top layer of sand, a coarse gravel and finally throwing-size stones. The fitlered or strained water leaves the filters through a drain at the bottom. By this time the water has been cleaned of impurities pretty well. The chemicals for the most part have also filtered out. But ornery bacterial may still be

old Feet

WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.—Hell hath no fury like that of a congressman with cold feet. That's old Confucius Othman speaking for the benefit of John L. Lewis and his striking coal miners. There's increasing talk of calling congress back in a hurry to pass a law. Even if this does not happen, the regular congress meets on Jan. 3. If the coal miners still are twiddling thumbs, and Mr. Lewis and the government still are making faces at each other, those lawmakers are going to have cold hearts, They'll be cold all over. Architect David Lynn ef the capitol reports that the crisis is uporr him. He's plunged the dome into nightly gloom and: he’s going easy on the steam. The coal bin of the steam plant that keeps congressmen comfortable is nearly empty. Two more weeks of the strike and the capitol will be as cold as the eye of a Republican looking over a Democratic job holder,

No Christmas Tree Lights

THAT'S ONLY ONE of the crises John L. has brought on. Soon it will be President Truman's job to push the button that lights the nation’s Christmas tree in Lafayette square. Only nothing will happen. Christmas tree lights are against the rules so long as the coal strike lasts. The.long arm of the civilian production administration reaches inside the White House itself. There'll be no light on the President's private tree. As for Mr. Lewis himself, he’s threatened with chilblains, You may have noticed the sorry state of the woodpile behind his house in those photographs printed over the week-end. That's not all. When he pought his handsome white house on Washington

Science

THE MAGIC BULLET dreamed of by the great Dr. Paul Ehrlich, the magic bullet that will knock out all disease germs without ill effect upon the human system, may prove to be a super-penicillin. The way for its achievement was opened with the announcement by Dr. Vincent dn Vigneaud, world famous biochemist of Cornell university medical college, that he and his colleagues had succeeded in producing penicillin by the methods of - synthetic _ chemistry. As most readers know, penicillin differs from sulfanilamide in that the latter was a synthetic chemical, well-known to chemists before it was realized that it was useful in fighting disease germs. As a result, chemists had no difficulty in making derivatives of the original sulfanilamide and a number of them—sulfathiazole, sulfadiazine, etc. quickly came into general use. Way Open for Derivatives PENICILLIN, however, had to be extracted from cultures of a living mold, the pencillium notatum, and as a result it was used to treat disease at a time when chemists had only the haziest idea of what its chemical formula might be. Study finally showed that the extract obtained from the mold was actually a mixture of a number of substances of which the most effective one was named G-penicillin, Chemists now prefer to call it benzylpenicillin and it is thls substance which Dr. du Vigneaud and his colleagues have succeeded in synthesizing. At the present time no less than five sulfa drugs are in general use. These are sulfanilamide, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole, sulfadiazine and sulfaguanidine. Hundreds of other derivatives are being studied and it is not yet certain ‘but that some sulfa deriva-
