Pastor Tells of
Heaven Thoughts

Speaking on the subject Of What
u Heavengr Or. Dawson delivered
a sermon at the Baptist church re-
vival here Tuesday which proved OF
particular interest 70 the old people.
He said that many are interested IN
heaven. mentioning among the classes
the dying. the bereavcd, the thinkers,
the defeated, and Christian believers.
IN describing heaven he said IL ~
Perfection place where there will
be perfect beauty. perfect character,
perfect knowledge. perfect society.
1t will last forever. he said, and IS
n prepared place for prepared peo-
pie.
The evening sermon was from the
words 20 a king Of Israel in which
the prophet said "Set thy house in
order for thou shalt die. The pas
tor said that before God there are
but two classes. the saved, and the
unsaved. and asks the question, "is
your house in order"

can prospect for such water, drill wells
for it, install pumps and bring the
water into the present network of
pipes that supply the city with the use
of the water fund which lies in the
bank drawing interest and being
swelled each year by certain per-
centage of the city's income.
Mayor Hinton, in speaking Of the
consolidation of the offices of the city
clerk and the head of the water de-
partment, an action which saves to
the tax payers several hundreds of
dollars annually, says that this move
is one that he has advocated ever
since he first took office. He says
that the job is one that one man can
handle with perfect ease and that the
consolidation does away with several
extra employees that would otherwise
be drawing pay for full time service
and working only about half the time.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-03

The common council is uncommon
in that they spend their time figur-
ing out ways and means of bettering
the city administration instead of
studying some method for obtaining
appropriations from the tax payers
money to be spent with then par
ticular friends.
The attitude of this body is unique.
They don't think that because there
is money in the bank credited to the
city that it should be spent for some
thing new, whether it is needed or
not. They devote some of this money
to paying off the bonded indebtedness
of the city and some of it goes into
that steadily swelling water fund,
while some of it is let out for repairs
and improvements, but never all of it.
There has been talk for number
of years OF prospecting for new wa
ter supply in the hills east Of the
city. The administration admits that
the time may come when this will be
advisable. At the present time the
water supply for the city is ample.
The quality of this supply is OF the
very best. The city water in Douglas
is pure water, of an excellent quality
for drinking purposes.
If this time ever comes when more
water, or water of a different cfemi-
cal consistency is demanded. the city
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-07-03

Mayor TIinton's mind was to guard tne
city water supply against any possible
emergency. The result of this idea IS
that the city water fund is OF such
proportions that if an earthquake
should tear the present water system
to pieces tonight it coAld be rebuilt
tomorrow without the necessity ot Dor
rowing q single cent.
Experts report that the financial
condition of this city is better than
that OF almost any other city OF It's
size in the United States. This is true
in a city where there are miles OF
paved streets, miles of electric lights,
miles of water pipe and sewer pipe and
one of the best fire departments IN
the entire southwest, to say nothing
of the police department with its long
record of arrests and convictions and
maintenance of peace and crder.
Mayor Hinton and the various men
who have served with him on the
council have but one main object in
view, That is to give this city eff
cient government on a business basis.
No ordinance is ever passed by this
administration until the need for it
has been carefully studied. Careful
celiberation marks every action OF the
council. No appropriations are ever
made, be they small or large, until the
need for them has become definite.

ONE ENGLISH MARRIAGE
in EVERY 100 FAILS

LONDON, July 2 QB.- The registrar
general has disclosed that one mar
riage out of every hundred fails in
England.
Divorce in England, where dissolu-
ton of marriage is granted only on
grounds of adultery, is becoming more
and more common, especially since
newspapers were forbidden by law to
publish divorce case details. Before
the World war the number Of persons
divorced was about 1000 year. Since
the war the figure has been increased
five times.
Three of every five divorced persons
get married again. The majority OF
these are men, of whom 70 per cent
marry spinsters, 13 per cent marry
widows and per cent marry divorced
women. OF the divorced women who
remarry, 70 per cent take bachelors
for their second husbands while 20
per cent prefer widowers. Two out
of every three divorced men marry
again but only one-half of the di-
vorced women remarry.

UnbustdbLe Glass
Needed For Autos

Somebody recently woke up to. the
fact that in the last decade every
thing entering into. the manufacture
of an automobile has been vastly i'm
proved except the one item that, in ac-
cidents, causes more injuries than
anything else. This is glass.
Whenever a car is involved in a
smashup, the windshield is almost in
variably broken. Often a smashed
windshield or window is the only DAM
age in minor accidents. And in a
preponderant number of cases, per-
sons hurt in automobile mishaps are
cut by flying glass.
Now the glass makers have got
busy. Several types of practically
unbreakable glass are on the market
and they are being adopted by many
Of the makers of high-priced motor
cars. People are beginning to demand
safety glass more and more. Within
a few years, in all probability, the
use of old-fashioned, easily shattered
glass in automobiles will be forbidden
by law as protection to the public
