QUEEN LANE CRUX
Will Equal Torresdale and Lard-
nor'a Point if Improvements
Are Made
jL $4,000,000 IS NEEDED
The crux of the pure water situation
In this city lies at Queen T,nne, al
thonth the larger plants at Torresdale
and Lardner's Point are cenerally looked
upon as of much greater importance. If
tentative plans in the office of Chief
Daris are finally decided upon and the
?3,000,000 allowed out of loan funds
thetjueen Lane plant will rie to major
Importance and the Schuylkill river will
take an equal or even grentrr place
with the Delaware in furnishing the
city's filtered water supply.
The breaking of a pump shaft at Tor
resdale early Sundav morning proved
conclusively that the womout ma
chinery upon which 60 rer rent of the
city's supply now depends, cannot
longer be considered a safe source
The chain of Delaware works must
be discounted in the future for i num
and the less expensive. Chief Davfo es
timates the cost at $4,000,000. This is
the probable amount that nlll be nsked
for water In the next municipal loan,
provided the councllmanic loan with Its
item of $3,000,000 for water extensions
goes through Thursdaj In the event of
its failure the water system will be at
the mercy of accident and the elements.
Supplies Downtown Section
The Queen lane plant now supplies
filtered water to n section of the city
lying west of the New Tork division of
tho Pennsylvania Itailroad and cast of
the Schuylkill river llclow Market
street the section supplied in pnrt by
Queen lane lie between Broad street
..,,1 tfc Sehuvlkill river Here it is
used as a "boost" for the supply forced
through the downtown pires by the
mains from Gardner's point Together
they havo proven insufficient
By doubling the 70 000,000 gallon
dallv capacltv to make it 140 000,000
each twenty-four hours engineers be
lieve that much of the strain on the
downtown pressure upon Lardner's
point can be taken ncr, lenving a
greater supply for use bv homes and
manufactories south of Callowhill street
between the two rivers
Hv switihing thi bulk of its water
xupplv t the Schuvlkill river the city
returns to conditions as they were be

the failure of city officials to cirry out move mi.- unaware ,nr
the plan originally contemplated when
the big pumping station and filtration
system were installed under Major ens
sius E Gillette, more than twelve vears
ago. This included a gravity system
from a point forty miles up from the
filters. The plan died a natural death,
leaving the big Delaware svstem de
pendent upon a single chain of units
the failure of any one of which would
mean a water famine in all that portion
of the city lying between the two rivers
and east of the rsew Tork division of
the Pennsylvania Railroad.
Canal Offers Danger
Another danger that some engineers
say threatens the Delaware supply
which is of a much softer virion and
less filled with mineral matter than the
Schuylkill is the projected sea
canal across New Jersey
The result of the building of such
a canal, it is argued, will be to let
brackish salt water into the upper Dela
ware thus injuring the quality of the
nnd ire fullv met bv the plans now
formulating Th" Srhmlkill has never
been safe to use without filtration, and
m the nmnion of engineers never will
b safp without some stabilization of
its flow

probability of this occurring
All the plans for increasing the
present daily output nt the Queen lane
pumping station and filtration plant'
are contingent upon the carrying through
of plans for stabilizing the flow of the
Schuylkill so as to justify the plant
expenditure and make certain a continu
ous supply at all seasons of the year.
This project would consist of the build
ing of one or more monster reservoirs
along the tributaries to the Schuylkill
so that the flow could be released dur
ing drought seasons and at any other
time a shortage might threaten.
Two methods have been considered,
,' the one of building ducts being of almost
j prohibitive cost. A gravity flow with a
J stabilized condition of the river is, at
this time, considered the most feasible

But only for a moment. Two things he remembered :
That whortle-berries always grow on the north side of
ant-hills and that large pine trees bear more numerous
branches on their southern side.
Experience saved him from wandering aimlessly. vThe
rest was easy.
Many a successful firm is similarly lost in its account
ing department literally bewildered by ledger problems
that seem impassable.
We believe the experience of Library Bureau is your
safest guide in finding a way out of your difficulties.
Once you get the fundamentals right (and the L. 27. Card
ledger is fundamentally right) the rest is easy.
The L. B. Card ledger, machine posted, is used today In hundreds of
banks and commercial houses.
It saves posting time hours dally. Accounts are easy-to-find. The
cards are easy-to-handle. They drop right into place on the posting
machine. They are readily re-filed: housed in a special tray that holds
them in correct working position. Every account any account is
get-at-able at any time.

there vere any other tobacco in the
world as mild or as good for cigarettes
as Turkish tobacco do you think that
S. Anargyros would maintain a small army of
trained experts in the Orient, 4000 miles from
to select, buy, grade and pack Turkish tobacco then pay
ocean freight, plus 35c a pound import duty?
Of course not nor would our com
petitors use a single leaf of Turkish
tobacco if in any other tobacco grown
they could find a substitute for the "dash"
of Turkish which they put into their
"bundle" cigarettes to make them smok
able and without which they would be lost.
Our competitors know all this. They
harp on "part Turkish" and "blend of
Turkish" and "paper packages" in place
of a box. In fact they make many
skillful apologies, which they hope
will in part take the place of 100
Pure Turkish Tobacco.
and we
will
Now here is the nut-
crack it for you.
Murads are 100 Pure Turkish
Tobacco, the World's most famous
Tobacco for cigarettes. They are the
proverbial "whole loaf" not half loaf
or part of a loaf.
They are, for protection, packed in
cardboard boxes. A hen lays her eggs
in a shell for protection. If you prefer
them without the shell, you get scant
protection and much scrambling.
You ask the question, "Are Murads
so much better than ' the other kind of
cigarettes?" The answer is: More than
twice as good and we have here told
you why.
'.Are Murad 100 pure Turkish
"whole loaf" cigarettes more expens
ive? YES. All 100 good things cost
more and are worth more than half good
or imitation good.
Cigarette smokers of America:
People of your class and enlightenment
know these things and appreciate them.
We are proud to say to you that of dinary
cigarettes cost a trifle less than Murads.
Think it over. The reasons are before
you. Judge for yourself! In the long
run the public makes no mistakes.
Remember, every package of Murad
is sold under a guarantee.
