OUTLINES L. A. SEWER RULINGS Offering a solution to the joint outfall sewer problem which has caused considerable discussion in Santa Ana, Anaheim, Orange, Fullerton, Placentia and Garden Grove, which cities are served by the system, W. T. Knowlton, engineer of sewers for Los Angeles, today explained how a similar situation is being handled in Los Angeles. W. G. Knox, engineer of the joint outfall system for the six cities of Orange-co recently raised an objection to industrial wastes which he said were being conveyed in the sewer which was intended only for "ordinary sanitary sewage." Knowlton recommended city legislation to prevent industrial plants improperly using the outfall sewer here. In Los Angeles, he explained, industrial wastes which included solid matter and even many kinds of tainted water were barred from the city sewers. The statement of the Los Angeles expert follows: "In the city of Los Angeles the factories and packing houses have been discharging the waste matter from their plants into the sanitary sewerage system of the city. In certain instances, where such industrial waste has contained solid matter, the city has required by ordinance that no solid substance shall be deposited in any public sewer. Furthermore, city ordinance prohibit the discharge of any oil petroleum, naphtha, tar or liquid petroleum or any kind of substance into any public sewer. "Concerning slaughter houses, all waste water is required by a city ordinance to be conducted through an intercepting tank in which the grease is removed before the effluent can be discharged into the sewer. "In addition to the above, the Board of Public Works of this city has prohibited the discharge of waste matter of certain laundries and film plants connected with the moving picture industry into certain sewers of the city where such..." "Concerning slaughter houses, all waste water is required by a city ordinance to be conducted through an intercepting tank in which the grease is removed before the effluent can be discharged into the sewer. In addition to the above, the Board of Public Works of this city has prohibited certain laundries and film plants connected with the moving picture industry into certain sewers of the city where such sewers have become overtaxed. In the harbor district the city has required the fish canneries to discharge the cannery waste into the ocean by a pipe system separate from that of the sanitary sewers. This action was found necessary on account of the large volume of water which these fish canneries were discharging into the sewer and because of the character of the waste so discharged. All pulp, peelsings and outside covering of all vegetables and fruit should not be permitted to be discharged into the sewers. Such waste matter can be removed by truck or otherwise to a point of disposal where it can be buried or burned or mads further use of. Concerning the sewer facilities in your case, I can advise no more than that the matter be referred to your city engineer, and regarding the disposal of the waste alcohol, I consider it perfectly feasible for your governing body to adopt ordinances prohibiting the discharge of such substances into the sewers if it interferes with the proper operation of the maintenance of your sewage treatment plant. One other angle concerning the disposal of industrial waste refers to the discharge of clear water into the sewers from industries like paper plants. Where the character of the discharge contains no organic substance and the water is in a stable condition when so discharged, I do not think the sewer is the place for its disposal. In such cases it is possible to discharge such clear water into a storm drain or ditch. At the present time the city of Los Angeles is receiving requests from many outlying cities and districts for permission to discharge their sewage into this outfall and main sewers of the city. Where plans for carrying out such disposal have met the approval of the city council, arrangements are being made to have the contract required thereafter contain a clause that all sewage discharge into the Los Angeles system from said outlying cities and districts comply with any and all requirements which the city of Los Angeles shall apply to those using sewers within its boundary. This requirement should be placed upon all districts using your join outfall." Dorothy Day wanted to live. None of the simple life for her. So she put in seven years of newspaper work, hunger striking with suffragettes, editing a radical magazine, and vagabonding in true man style in America and Europe. But the simple life has won her after all. She has settled down in a bungalow in the wilds of Staten Island, New York, with a 12-year-old brother and two cats as her only companions, to write WIDE-FLUNG HUNT FOR MISSING BOY CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Chicago became a focal point today in the wide-flung search for Lester Lapidus, 17, son of Harry Lapidus, millionaire politician and president of the Omaha Fixture & Supply Co., who disappeared August 3 from the citizens military training came at Fort Dodge, Ia. Every newspaper in the city was on the alert for the boy's appearance, following the anxious father's assertion that journalism was an obsession with the boy, who was believed en route to Chicago when he appeared momentarily at Galesburg, Ill., and posted a letter to his mother Friday. CHICAGO, Aug. 11.—Police today admitted that they had found Lester Lapidus, missing son of an Omaha millionaire, and that he was already on his way home. DES MOINES, Aug. 11.—A telephone call to Searah Robinson from Harry Monsky, attorney for the Lapidus family at Omaha, late this afternoon said that Lester Lapidus, son of Harry Lapidus, Omaha millionaire, had been found at 7235 Sheridan-rd, Chicago, and that he was now on his way back to Omaha. The boy disappeared from the Citizens Military camp near Des Moines a week ago. DES MOINES, Aug. 11.—"This is the first and last letter that you will get from me as I am contemplating suicide," wrote Lester Lapidus, missing Omaha youth, in a letter received by Miss Sarah Robinson of this city today.

MINISTER VISITS HEART BALM TRIAL LOS ANGELES, Aug. 11.—Life in all its phases should be an open book to the spiritual director of his fellow men. This was explanation given here today by the Rev. Robert H. Ferguson, canon of the church of England, diocese of Magra, Ont., Canada, when he visited the courtroom where Ann Luther, actress, is suing Jack White, Los Angeles millionaire, for asserted mental condition was a direct factor in this crime," stated Dr. Hulbert. "He was impelled by molestation in his subconscious mind. His judgment was childish. His education, did not enter in it altho the extraneous reading of his early childhood (dime novels) and detective stories, did his emotions were immature and childish at the time of this homicide. He had only an academic main sewers of the city.
