The amounts of soap andof alum that might be used in the ratio of 2 :1 with the bestresults is shown by the curve on page 25 which was plotted afterthe percolation had become uniform. The curve shows that thedisks which contained about 2% soap and ifo alum gave the bestresults. The variations in the results indicate the necessityof careful supervision and careful v/ork on construction wherewaterproofing is being
