The nature of the bacteria present will not be difinitely known until late this morning when the culture started by Dr. ;W. H. Em erson of the hygiene department will be sufficiently well developed. It is believed, however, that there are colon germs in the water again, and because of the close relatinship be- tween the colon and typhoid germs the water is considered dangerous. None should be used for drinking purposes unless it has been boiled. Last night's -drop in temperature will not offer any relief other than preventing more surface water from entering the intake near Barton dam. Enough water has already run in, however, to keep the water contam- Inated for several -days. Dr. J. A. Wessinger, city health offi- cer, stated last night that the city had been very fortunate in the past inas- much as no great amount of sickness has ever resulted from the water supply even in times of great freshets. He attributes this to the fact that the water is tested daily in the hy- giene laboratories of the University. This has been done for the last 20 years. CITY NEWS Summer gardens for school chil- dren are being encouraged by the board of education of the Ann Arbor public schools and at its meeting Wed- nesday evening four instructors were appointed to take charge of the work which will be done in collaboration with the civic association. Last year the work netted substantial results and this year the board expect that the school children will be able to aid' considerably to increase the food supplies. The Ann Arbor Civic association will repeat the shrub campaign again. this year with a view to beautifying Ann Arbor homes and parks. The aim of the movement is to supply in- dividuals with shrubs and plants at a nominal cost in order to stimulate the home beautiful idea. Open window schools will be es- tablished in Ann Arbor with a desire to improve health conditions among the school children. The board of education realizes that there are many students in the public schools who should expose themselves as much as possible to open air and be- ginning April 1 the Thompson house on North University avenue will be open. The school will probably ac- commodate 35 students. A group of 88 persons represent- ing several nationalities attended the night school conducted by the public schools during the winter months. The course was designed to give the foreigners training in English and problems of citizenship. Several local employers have commended the school board'on the results that have been obtained among the foreign laborers. OPERA DEVELOPS SMOOTHNESS ! AFTER SHOWING FIRST NIGHT (Continued from Page One) do, and could easily supplant some of the others in the company. Robert Dieterle Gets Across Robert Dieterle makes a very good male star. His voice carries well, and his stage presence is pleasing. His acting could be still better. Paul Moore, the second leading man, has improved much since Wednesday eve- ning. He is not .yet quite at his ease on the stage. Mention must be made of Eva Bow- en and Pauline Collier, who play two French lassies, or should it be mad- amoiselles? and make them the best characterizations in the production. Besides which, with Dieterle and Moore, they provide the best comedy of the evening. The chorus is to be commended in several of the numbers, though it could be better trained, especially the ponies, who think nothing of getting out of step once in a while. LIBERTY LOAN WORKERS PLAN DRIVE AT BANQUET COMMITTEES FOR LOCALITIES WILL RECEIVE THEIR INSTRUCTIONS Every district and township in Washtenaw county will be represent- ed at the Liberty Loan banquet which is to be held at noon tomorrow in the city Y. M. C. A. Committees for the various localities will be given in- structions as to the nature of the campaign. Although the bonds will not be placed on sale until April 6, the educational propaganda for the; drive will begin immediately after the banquet. Special pains are being taken by the committee to reach the farmers of the surrounding districts. Ques- tionnaires prepared by the executive board of the state War Preparedness committee will be -mailed to every farmer. A statement from the Treas- ury department at Washington in re- gard to this attempt to reach the farmers says in part: "The farmer has come splendidly to the front with his muscles and knowl- edge of agriculture and has provided the allies with food. He has been, paid handsomply for his crops. If he invests those dollars in Liberty bonds, he will be making a profitable deal and at the same time providing his government .with the funds to pay him higher prices for his grain and his corn and oats now in the ground." Mr. Frank L. Pack, secretary of the second Liberty Loan committee for Washtenaw county, will also act as secretary fortheypresent campaign. Mr. George W. Millen, chairman of the committee, will return to Ann Arbor from California next week to take over the leadership of the com- mittee. On the whole, the play is to be praised. The improvement of last night's performance over that of Wed- nesday is remarkable. At that time it looked as if the opera would be a failure. It now seems that it will be a big success. There are many weaknesses. The plot, or lack of it, is the weakest point. There are not enough lines,, not enough action, not enough "pep" in the show. The interest lags once or twice, which is one of the deadliest faults of any play. But the music is good, the acting fair, and the aud- ience tolerant, and what more can be . asked?
