different, and social climate is as

1t is stated that Baroness Hengel-
muller nearly fell down dead when
she saw this interview in the New
York papers and then saw it copied
into the Washington papers. Baroness
Hengelmuller is nothing If not con-
ventional. She lives by form and
rote, and to do anything out Of the
regular is in her opinion to commit a
crime
She came back home in a state Of
nervous collapse, declared she never
said a word of it and that Washington
is perfectly lovely.
Baroness Hengelmuller wears that
title in her own right, and both she
and the baron belong to the stern Aus
trian court circles; that is, the baron

AMONG the navies of the world the
IA American sailors have long held
the record of the finest marksmen In
existence Though the United States
does not spend so much for new battle
ships as other countries, it lays more
emphasis on craftsmanship than does
any other nation and for that reason.
combined with the American sailors
infinite patience, our men have gained
their worldwide reputation of cham
pions. More time and ammunition are
exhausted in the American navy in

Due Precautions.

In a town in Georgia there was an
old preacher whose knowledge Of the
world was not wide nor deep, but who
conceived it to be a place where, if
one should trust his fellow men, he
should at the same time keep an eye
on his own interests.
One hot day he pulled Off his coat
and preached a vigorous sermon, un-
der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At
the close Of the openrair service one
of his admirers approached him and
said, regretfully:
II don't suppose that you knew that
the editor of one of the big New York
Sunday papers was here when you
pulled off your coat"
II reckon I knew it well, for I'd
been told of it." said the preacher.

In this prosperity the farmer has

What is the answer? Easy. The road

the tariff question.

are more important than the above

commissioners. They represented that
there are springs near Cayuse, only
nine miles from the city, the flow of
which is much greater than that of
the springs located at Thorn Hollow.
They asked, then, why the commits
sioners had gone so much further up
a. so much greater an expense when
supply of unquestioned abundance
could be secured at such little dis
tance from home.
They Were either iusinoere in their
questions or surprisingly ignorant OF
the whole water question either one
of which conditions is sufficient to
| eprive their arguments of any worth.
The Cayuse or Mission springs are
IUnquestionably source of sufficiency
| but unfortunately quantity is not the
only factor to be considered in a
, gravity water system. AS the name
implies, there must be sufficient fall
from the source to the city to raise
the water to a reservoir of sufficient
height to give adequate pressure.
This is lhe factor lacking In the Mis-
sion springs. According to Engineer
Kelsey's field notes, the fall in the
nine miles from the Mission springs
is just sufficient to raise the water to
the present reservoir which as every
one knows is not located high enough
to give residents on the two hills of
the city fire protection and which
would nos raise water to the level of
the Livermore and Cole additions, so
that if che city ever grew. the resi-
dents in these sections would be with
out water service.
According to Mr. Kelsey, the fall
! from Thorn Hollow is sufficient to
raise the water 20 feet higher than
the level of the present reservoir and
it is the intention of the water COM
mission tC construct a new reservoir
at this higher level so that the COM
paint Of lack of pressure will never
more be heard.
So much for the comparison.
