| it pays for delivering all the water
used by the Federal and District gov
ernments.
What they want is for you to pay
a million dollars a year profit on your
| water, to spend in laying new water
mains in the far corners of the Dis
trict Even if 1t is all right to lay all
these new mains, it Is all wrong to
charge the cost on your water bill. :"
The increase in rates is not neces-
sary to avert a deficiency. Mr.. Phil
lips contended. He quoted figures
showing that in 1925 the net profit
on opera tions totaled 1904 ,590.18. I'm
stead of a deficit" he said. there Is
an annual profit. Why, then, put the
burden of this increase in water rates
on the District householder? The only
answer Is that this profit on the sale
of water is not large enough to pay
for all of the new mains they want to
build. Water mains should be paid
for by sufficient assessments, and.
where that is not possible, any deficit
should he paid from the general prop
erty tax.
Instead of this just and equitable
method, 1t is proposed now to raise
the price of water that there will be
81 ,000. 900 year net profit on opera
tions to be used in laying new water
mains" "

showed the effects of heavy load

the Illicit operations. 1t also was
seized.
Two Men Sought.
Two men who had rented the house
several weeks ago are being sought
nv police as the bootleggers. Evi-
dently they had been warned of the
yaid and had disappeared when the
raiders arrived at Z am. They had
disconnected the gas heater. but left
other parts of the establishment as
they were.
The suspects are known. to police
and one is said to have been con-
victed for bootlesging. Warrants for
yheir arrest are to be asked.
The raid had been planned fot
three days, but delays were neces-
sary in order that all legal require

and in a few minutes the still was

The still was one of the most per.

lice. Its capacity output. Lieut..
Groves estimates, is 400 gallons a day.
The neighborhood apparently had
been selected by the EOotlegSerS IN an
endeavor to cast off suspicion.
The still was on the second floor in
the rear room, and about 1t were
standing seven barrels full of peach
mash.
The occupants of the place slept
there on two army cots and had fur
nished the dining and living rooms OF
the house with suites of expensive
furniture. Other rooms were unfur-

many gallons of liquor. it appeared
they themselves did not trust their

This was tried the other morning

Explains Scarcity of
Really Cleuer People

An epfgrammatiSt once wrote: "Clev-
er women hide what they know; clever
men hide what they don't know" How
true 1t is. How wise is our epigram-
matist to observe and remark on this |
Now. then 1t is equally true that clev-
or women hide what they don't know !;
and clever men hide what they know.
No one can deny this wherefore we
are forced to the logical conclusion
that clever women hide what they
know and what they don't know, and
clever men hide what they know and
what they don't know, and so we see
that clever people hide everything !
This being thus, and as clever people,
being clever, must do their hiding
thoroughly and successfully. how can
we know they are clever people? May
1t not well be that people whom we
consider dull and stupid are merely
clever people busily doing their hiding1
At any rate, this revelation of the
hiding process clearly explains why
we never, knowingly, meet any sever

Patriotic Action Of

Through the efforts of naturalized
Swiss, natGralized German and a
naturalized Frenchman, the United
States government once was saved
from bankruptcy, writes Sydney Green
bic In Asia Magazine. 1t was during
the War of 1872, war so unpopular
In many quarters that the govern
ment's attempt to negotiate loan of
S10,OO,O00 for its conduct brought in
subscriptions of less than $4,000 900.
New England refused to extend any
aid, and some persons thought that
the colonies were going back to the
Mother Country.
The treasury was almost at the end
Of its rope, lacking both funds and
credit, when John Jacob Astor,' ma
tive German, and Stephen Glrard,
Frenchman, the two richest men in
America, came to the rescue and,
through Secretary Albert Gallatin Of
Madison's cabinet, Swiss, took the
remaining $10,O00,OOO. Astor sub
scribed for 100000, and Girard,
through his bank, became responsible
for $8,0O0OOO.

Sanity and Insanity
Matter of Emotions

Where mental disorder becomes in-
sanity it is difficult to say Physicians
today do not like to use the word In
sanity, on account of the difficulty Of
defining it. Sanity is social concept.
A sane person is willing to cooperate
with other people in the affairs Of
life, and has confidence in others In
varying degrees, as his judgment
guides him. He has a direction Of
movement and purpose which he is
able to control.
Insanity is the reverse Of this. Yet
1t is easily seen from this definition
that a perfectly sane person can be
violently insane for minute, five min
utes, or half an hour. BY the excess
of his emotions he can be cut of for
the time being from rational judgment
Of anything or cooperation with any
body, and from any sense of ordered
direction of his actions. But sooner
or later his reason reasserts itself, and
In repeated circumstances of the same
sort Is likely to be on its guard. In
sane people have periodic or perma-
nent inability to overcome their emo
