New York Uses Much Water,

In the whole world there are only
about 100000 people. An inch Of
rain on our watershed normally would
give two gallons of water for every
man, woman and child on the surface
of the earth. Put it another way: If
every man, woman and child on the
face Of the earth should walk up to
to the lakes, reservoirs. ETC., which
hold New York city's water supply,
and each pour in two gallons of water,
It would not be enough to last that
city ten days.

his wife were arrested for collecting

New York, May 4.-The body OF
John Jacob Astor. who lost his life
in the Titanic disaster. was buried
today beside the body of his father
at Washington Heights. The servic IS
were held at Rhinecliff on the Hud-
son. Only the formal service Of the
Episcopal church was used. and the
funeral sermon will be preached at
Trinity church tomorrow. A dozen
officers were necessary to keep the
curious crowd at a distance.
The singing of Nearer. My God. to
Thee. which is always sung at the
Aston funeral, was omitted because
the Titanic band played it as the ship
went down. and it was feared that 1t
would cause mental anguish to Mrs.
Madeline Astor.
