The Water Supply.

Washington has been given it's an
nual water warning. Because of ex-
ceedingly warm weather, growth of
population and extension OF water
mains it is easy for Washington to
use water as fast or faster than the
conduit can bring it from the Potomac
at Great Falls, and with hot weather
consumption the reservoirs hold but
about one days supply. The capacity
of the reservoirs may be somewhat
greater than that, but, with the ex-
ceptional drawing eff of water due to
the weather, the reservoirs do not
hold much in reserve to take care of
fires. A very large. fire or several
considerable blazes might bring a
shortage OF drinking water The su-
perintendent of the Water Department
calls for economy in the use of water
and sinsists that lawns. be sprinkled
only during hours allowed by police
regulations.
Perhaps no Summer has passed in
20 years that Washington has not
been warned that the outflow of water
,is close to tee intake and that con-
sumption runs almost even with the
storage capacity Of the reservoirs. The
warning has come this Summer earlier
than usual 1t will be needed. With
reasonable use of water in homes and
business buildings, and with circum.
spection in sprinlSling lawns and gar
dens we can get through long period
OF hot weather without water short
age. The superintendent Of the Water
Department says that in the past week
water consumption passed 401. .000. 900
gallons and that strain on pumping
stations reached a point where q
breakdown weuld shut off the water

Peace and National Defense.

Peace is the object Of national de-
g tense. With an idealism that does
n not disregard the practical, President
> Coolidge, in his address to the grad
-llating class at the United States
- Naval Academy, expresses his hope
- and belief in the ultimate victory of
:. peace. the ultimate determination that
the rule of reason is more to be de-
:. sired than the rule of force. But the
h President at thessame time proclaims
= his belief in national defense, of which
= the American Navy must necessarily
. be a very considerable part.
.s- Without a feeling of security values
fall. production halts, and the progress
of civilization is arrested. Reviewing
the history of civilization, the Presi-
dent finds that lin all this progress
= and all this advance it has never been
q possible to maintain that first essen
III tial of security without q background
of military force"
The President. with even balance of
:. judgment denominated as common
z: sense, which is yet so uncommon.
NotA dedAilot JiiiSolSJit' pal hiSuldL-
sly jingosm on the part of the trained
. military and naval officers Of the
--country. and at the same time lays
= stress on the fact that under condi-
-tions as they exist today force may
s.be needed in the future to maintain
the peace of the Nation and of the
: world.
= To the young men just leaving the
- Naval Academy for the wider field
stof naval service the President draws
with unerring hand a picture of the
replace, which the officer of the United
;, States Navy holds in the world.
You will be a constant testimonial
q throughout your lives that America
z+s.believes in military preparation for
national defense" he says, for the
gssprotection of the rights, the security
:. and the peace of her citizens.
: What you represent the American
Navy: will represent in the ports of
our own country and in those of for
,ieign peoples where little will be known
of the nature of authority under lib
= erty, save what is learned from you"
2 Citizenship is the great profession
of America, a profession which, the
President points out, must not be
forgotten in the practice of the other
professions whether law, engineering,
medicine. or military and naval
science. To be an American citizen,
he holds. with all the term implies,
should be the proudest boast of any
gAmerican. The country will never
consent to the establishment of q mill
tary caste.
President Coolidse's address to men
who have been trained for war may
fall upon some ears with an usually
peaceful sound. To some it may seem
like teaching watchdogs to be friendly
with strangers. The President, it is
true, might have confined himself to
c:the glories of the American Navy in
cbattle, for those glories are many.
But he chose the wiser course and
sought to portray to the graduating
class what America really stands for
in the march of nations.

SHOOTING STARS.

The Pleasant Problem.

Tic TfedSdHt TTUDItIH.
Everybody talks about the weather;
The climate is a means of great re.
lief.
All the neighbors grayely get together
And tell the tales of thermometric
grief.

In spite of all the scientific row;
And Summertime, assusual, discloses
The Problem of the Blossom and the

THIS AND THAT
BY CHARLES L. TRACEWELL.

We talk and write our English to-
day without any particular attention
TO It's tremendous past: and yet 1t lies
back there, all the formative work Of
Beowoulf, Caedmon, Layamon. Chau-
Ger, and many whose names are
scarcely remembered.
Our modern English was formed,
Ialne tells US, by compromise, and
the necessity of being understood. To
even glance for a few minutes at
some OF the elder poems Of our Ian.
guage VIII show us the truth of the
statement. They are FrenchEnglish,
iEnglish.French .'.
IL makes one have a better appre-
clation, too, of the flexible instrument
fersatlon, our books, our newspapers,
our magazines, our Advertisements.
Take an extract from the account
OF the proceedings at Arthur's coro.
nation, given by Layamofl, in his
translation OF Waco. This was Eng
lish as she was writ" about 1880:
Ths the king isetsn .hafde
And al his mon.-weorede.
Tia busen ut Of burhse
Ale that kinEes
And heore here-thringes
Alls Ans siis shs bis S.:e0gss sIs.rck..

All heore rihten;
BE gel SOLVER, he gael gold.

His monnen he iquende.
Just what the King did and did
not 90 / do not exactly know! Do
you? Base ball slang (of the period
OF 10 years ago, say) was easy com.
pared to old Layamon There is
something there about the bishops
and the clerks, the earls and barons,
and then we are delighted to find out
that Alfred went to "spekene," and
that he gave away some gold, silver,
horses, land. castles and clothes.
King Alfred must have been gen.
erous to fault. He did not seem to
care a rap what he gave, any old
thing from nifty castle TO the latest
thing in dress suits, evidently
In the time of Henry III we find
English bit more easily understood.
The following hymn to the Virgin, for
instance. is pleasing enough:
Blessed ssf q seS SoAsa;. thu; lsI:ai sy,s...
aoder Q, nfitternis..
I-blessed beo thu, Lsvedi
=. SO fair and so briht:
Al min hope is upon the
Bi day and bi nicht
BRIGHT and scene quen OF Store.
So me HIT and lere.
In this false hkele world
So me led and steore.
One suspects that the above had
been doctored a bit, so that IL is more
modern to our eyes than 1t really was
in the original. The descent of those
old manuscripts is a difficult one to
trace. They were copied and re-
copied. from age to age, all down the
Middle Ages, so that by the time they
came to the dignity of books they
were different than when written.
In the above verse ii is interesting
to note the word for lady, "lavedi :"
probably pronounced with the accent
on the second syllable.
No account Of this sort, no matter
how brief, would be possible without
introducing the very famous old Eng
lish verse:
Suner is i-cumen in.
Lhude sing cuccu:
Growethe sed, and bloweth med
And springeth the vide nu.
Aurfe sing cuccu,
Cuccu, cuccu.

Miss Keith came to Washington
! with an introduction from Miss Edith
Emerson of Philadelphia, the well
known American mural painter and
designer. She had already exhibited
| some of her interesting woodcuts by
special invitation with the print max
ers of California. Within the last
few years wood blocks have come
greatly into vogue, but none, it is be-
ieved, has attempted as elaborate
work in this medium as has Miss
| Keith. It is true that she does not
cut her own blocks, but has employed
most skillful japanese workman to
do the cutting for her, arguing that
this is mechanical process for which
1t is best to employ expert aid. Those
who have cut her blocks have been
| for generations wood-block cutters and
are skfllful to the utmost degree: but
they have done this work for her as
the trained stonecutter carves the
work in sculpture from the sculptor's
model, or the caster casts ii in bronze
from the sculptor's moulds And in
this instance it is quite as truly, if
| not more truly, work of cooperation.
| Miss Keith cannot send her paintings
| to Japan to be reproduced; the jap
| anese craftsman must work with her
as we'll as for her to produce the de-
sired result.
! And what are these results? Fairly
| large sized pictures of Oriental scenes
which bring to the observer as almost
nothing else has a full sense of the
splendor, the beauty, the marvel of
the Orient. She has one, for instances,
of Honskons, a city built upon a great
| hill, which rises steeply from the
