WATER BREAKS THE BACK

Somebody has figured out that
"a woman living on certain farm in
Maryland walks 44O miles a year-as
far as from Chicago to Omaha-in
her daily journeys between her kit
chen door and the farm pump. Ig-
noring the question of expended en-
ergy which. might be put to more
profitable use, it is figured that the
time this woman spends in her 44O<
mile annual pilgrimage between her
hypothetical Chicago and her imagin-
airy Omaha is easily worth $50-and
for $50 a simple but efficient water
supply system could be Installed in
this farm home. And $50 year for
several years would put in something
elaborate in the way of farm water
systems.
The first steps toward such labor
saving systems are pictured in a new
U. S. Department of Agriculture film,
Turn on the Water" which has been
made through the cooperation of the
rural engineering specialists of the
Bureau of Public Roads. The film
aims to give a general idea of the
need and the problems involved, and
to point the interested farmer to more
detailed sources of information. The
need for such an effort is, indicated
by the departments statement that
for: every American farm possessing
modern system of water supply
there are ten still using the old back
breaking methods.

A TOUCH OF BEAUTY
BY Angelo Patri.

Life without touch of beauty
would be unbearable. When God
made the world he worked with
the hand of the supreme artist.
Everything he touched CLOVIS
with divine beauty. The mys-
FERROUS depths of the star-studded
sky; the fleeting glory of the
clouds; the majesty of the sea;
the mystery of the mountains;
the sweet restfulness of green
grass; the symmetry of tree and
flower; the soothing gladness Of
color;;-all this beauty lifts our
soul above the weight of daily
labor.
et-and this is hard to under
stand-country children are Of
ten blind to the beauty spread
before them. We see only what
our eyes have been~schooled to
see and too often the. grown-ups
are so busy looking at the job,
the work, the chores, that they
have no time to look above it to
the beauty that lies close beside
it and even shines through it..
Too often we older folks fix, our
eyes on things that have neither
beauty nor inspiration, and so we
give not even a crumb to feed
the beauty hungry souls of our
children.
Little things close at hand are
full of the highest beauty if one
has, eyes to see. Instead Of a
tawdry glass vase filled with arti-
fetal flowers set upon a crowded
mantel or shelf, try something
like this: Clear the little square
table that sits over there in the
dark corner. Rub its top clean
and put a square of tawny linen
in the center. Set a little brown
stone pickle jar on that and let
it hold a lovely spray of. shad
bloom-just one spray of SHIN
mering, trembling blossom dress
ed with timid green-bronze leaves
breath of fairy land. X -
When that bit has served its
turn, replace it with a spray of
Japanese ounce or a branch of
syringa; try a bunch of purple
and white lilac; a loose and
scraggly bunch of daisies and clo-
yer; shower of milkweed bloom;
sprays of bittersweet; a branch
eff hemlock trimmed with tiny
brown cones, each a gem of the
great jewelers. art. The touch
of beauty is always with your
fingers touch. And children
need it so!
Above all else they need to
learn the beauty of the human
soul. Take time to show them
that as you live from day to day.
It must shine through your deeds,
your voice, your gentle patient
hands that minister to all who
come through long hard days and

that Congress would be willing to wipe

suggested some time ago that the
money could be raised by putting a
heavier tax on commercial vehicles

are the worst Instructors OF paving.
Il also was pointed out that the pres.
ant tax on trucks and buses OF 81 a
year is the lowest anywhere In the
tynited States. While the Commits
sionsrs have given consideration to
this recommendation, they have not

Shimidzu is already well-known to
American tennis fans. He is not

contests, however, because iii health
and advancing age have robbed him
Of much of his skill.
Harada. also wellknown in tennis
circles the world over, is the ace of
the Japanese team. He is young
enough so that 1t is believed that he
has not yet reached the zenith OF
his game and he is expected to inn
prove in play this year.
Tawara and Toba are also young
sters in years and tennis experience.
Tawa Is still student at the Tokyo
Imperial University and Toba has
only recently graduated from the
Kobe High School. Both are fast
and f1ashy on the courts.

the honor of playing singles In the
