SPECIAL SERVICES.
Rev. Donald G. Mcleod Commentaries
Anniversary Of His Passionate.

Rev. DIR. Donald C. Mcleod celebrated
the fifth anniversary of his pastorate at
the First Presbyterian Church by preach
ing a special sermon yesterday morning.
In the evening he preached another spe-
cial sermon to the Daughters of America.
The church was well filled on both occa-
sions.
For his evening discourse the pastor
chose the subject "Christ's Place and Mis-
sion for Women" He said. in part:
"Why is there less peace happiness and
liberty in the east than in the west? Why
do the non-Christian nations have less of
these blessings than the Christian nations?
What makes the difference between Africa,
India. Japan and China and the nations of
Christian Europe? The fact which lis the
dominating cause in the contrast between
Christian and non-Christian nations is the
place and consideration accorded woman.
In the heather countries man looks
upon woman as an inferior being. slave
and worse than slave. The oriental woman
sees nothing for her but despair. degrade
ton and death. The incident of Christ and
the woman of Samaria represents the atti-
tude of the world toward women before the
coming of Christ, and In the heather lands
today the attitude Is still the same. Be-
fore the coming OF Christ and his ideals no
woman ever had a husband in the true
sense of the word, and the same Is still
true of countries where Christianity IL un-
known

building, in which, at most. the water is not
required to rise above from sixty to seventy
feet.
According to the recognized authorities,
fifty pounds pressure, theoretically, and not
taking into account the friction of the water
In passing through the pipes, and the erect
of elbows should cause the water to rise
124 feet and inches; but in practice. on
account of the friction and elbows, 1t would
be somewhat less but still much more than
is required to supply any building on Capt.
toll Hill.
AS showing what the facts are In actual
practice, will say that at Eaglesmere, Pa,
we have water service in which the water
is pumped through 2,463 feet of six-inch
pipe into a standpipe, the top of which Is
236 feet above the floor of the pump house
and when the standpipe is filled to the top
SO it runs over, the gauge shows pressure
of 105 pounds per square inch when the
pumps are running. but which falls to 20
pounds as soon as the pumps stop and the
water becomes still. This shows that the
friction Of water in passing through the
2, 1853 feet of pipe, with its five elbows and
two valves, is equal to pressure of 10
pounds per square inch, or about one-tenth
of the total pressure. This. is will be seen,
corresponds with the theoretical pressure as
above stated.
While the pressure on Capitol Hill is more
than is necessary to supply even the tallest
building, it is well to have good pressure,
for fires especially. 1t is very fortunate
that the high pressure was applied before
the cold weather set in, as 1t is far less
troublesome to replace the defective pipes,
boilers, ETC., now than 1t would be in the
winter time.
Those who have more pressure than they
want in their houses can remedy 1t by put
ting in an automatic pressure regulator.
This can be adjusted to give any required
pressure within the building regardless of
what it may be outside or in the mains. 1t
will automatically close as the pressure in
creases, and opens as the pressure de-
creases, thus giving practically uniform
pressure at all times I have had one in
use for the past two years elsewhere and
have recently put one in my house here, and
find they answer the purpose well.

American Art and Artists.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
It should be source of qualification to
all who have at heart the encouragement
OF American art to note the interest shown
by Mrs Theodore Roosevelt, the wife Of
our President.
Recently Mrs. Roosevelt graced by her
presence the comparative exhibition OF
American and European painters in New
York, and more recently she visited the
excellent exhibition Of the Washington
Water Color Club at the Corcoran Gallery.
and showed her appreciation by purchasing
one of the paintings
The comparative exhibition in New York
was organized to establish in the minds of
the laity fact for many years recognized
in art circles both here and abroad. namely
that the best American artists We're the
