 A good deal of time and money has been spent by the city authorities during the past year or more in an effort to increase the limited supply of water fur nshed by the city wells. Other wells had been sunk at considerable outlay of money. 1t was discovered recently that the trouble was due to the pipes having become filled with a mineral de- post from the water. This possibility had been considered but it was thought that the strong air pressure in the pipes would prevent the collection of such sub stances. The pipes were taken up and found to be almost closed in places The wells are now supplying the town with plenty of water.

In addition to the mem bers of Congress mentioned, the World proves that liquor has been ordered by clerks of many other members, by at- taches of every administrative depart ment, and employees of the White House itself.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
Not Opposed To Dancing"

To the Editor of The Age-Herald:
 In the spotlight of The Age Herald of March 13, rises the Rev. Joseph T. Ware, rector St. Andrews church, to remind the public that the Episcopal church does not consider dancing sim full" A squelcher, surely. But what's the idea? What motive prompts the rev erend reminder? Can it be that, al thls time, the public" is particularly con cerned about any position which the Episcopal church" may choose to take touching any abstract matter? What cause is to be subserVed? Is there an ax to grind?
 Grammar school Latin used to teach that "rectus means right; logically, therefore rector may mean one who sets aright everything and everybody With bated breath and in painful per plexity 'the public" may have been bid ing the hour when speaks the voice Of supreme authority in final pronounce ment upon abstract matter, which was not under consideration, It may now be up to the preachers meeting to pass a vote of thanks. So luminous and convincing reminder may sweep away all lingering suspicion of danger lurking in any sort of dancing, any where; may coerce pestiferous preachers particularly of the Methodist persu- ason) to fall over one another in tumb- ling to the commanding considerations of the "Mother Church '-deeming per- chance that the clergy" had already and heretofore showed such preeminent devotion and leading activity in civic sa feguard and uplift, well as for ger eral religious betterment in the whole community, as to entitle to leadership here and now. Selah For wisdom must be justified of her children.
 However, if dancing be considered not sinful, why bother about matters SC irrelevant as "safeguards" and stan dards'' of conduct? Why not cry, "All broke loose," and let 1t go at that?
