The new reservoir. to be located at

Ncostia an adequate supply Of water at
all times for domestic use and fire pro-

tanks which now provide the reserve
supply for that part of Anacostia on

These tanks were built In 1918, and
have q combined capacity of 276,000

estimated would last but three hours

construction, the tanks would provide

tanks stands at Thirty-f1rst and r

EDISON'S GENUS

EEW men have ever lived who affected
the lives of the rest of mankind as
profoundly as Thomas A. Edison The
famous old inventor i'll with what may
be his final illness, will leave the world
vastly different place from the world
he entered 85 years ago.
Carlyle's remark that the history Of
the world is simply the story of the lives
OF the worlds greatest men seems pc
culiarly apt in Edison's case. Every in
habitant OF civilized nation lives under
conditions that are utterly unlike what
they would have been ii Edison had never
lived and the changes the man caused are
permanent things that will affect the
lives of people a thousand years from
now as profoundly as today.
1t is the fashion among highbrows to
remark that Edison was never true
Scientist He never spun theories or
followed earnestly after truth; from
start to finish he was an inventor. the
apotheosis of the men who devise handy
little gadgets to save time and labor.
But what an inventor.
The world that Edison entered 50
years ago had no electric lights, 1t had
no radio, it had no moving pictures, II
had no monographs; it had not learned
how to use electricity properly, and that
giant force which will some day perform
all of the worlds drudgery was a use
less and mysterious giant.
And today? From dawn to dusk you
live according to Edison. The trolley
car or auto that takes you to work, the
electric appliance that toasts your bread
or boils your coffee, the illumination by
which you work and read, the entertain
ment you get in the movie theatre, the
music that comes over the air to you at
night-Edison had his hand in all OF these
things if he had not lived you would not
have them at all, or you would have them
in far less perfect form.
Scientist or inventor-who cares? He
made the world over, and made life more
comfortable and pleasant for millions on
millions of people. Mankind has sell
dom been any more deeply in any one
mans debt

plTTSBURGH coal operators are re
ported on the verge of asking the fed
eral government to regulate the coal in
dustry as public utility.
One Of the operators recently remarked
that anyone who had proposed such 4
scheme three or four years ago would
have been denounced as a vicious and
subversive Bolshevik. Today, however,
the coal men feel differently. As the
operator says:
They see nothing ahead of them, as
things stand now, but the loss Of their
properties through their inability to sell
coal at profit"
The incident gives another of those re-
vealing little sdeligha. on the general
business attitude toward government
regulation. If there are profits to be
made, then government interference Is
crippling, inefficient, politics-ridden and
altogether damnable, and no sane Amer
lean can even hint at it.
But if the money is not coming inf
there are problems to be met which priv
ate initiative cannot sOlve-then Uncle
Sans activity will be welcomed, and the
sooner he acts the better.
OF course, once conditions improve and
everybody is making money again, Uncle
Sam would be expected to withdraw
gracefully, and governmental nterfer-
ence once more would be spectre to
evoke shudders and chill the blood.
Regardless of this slightly illogical at
.itude there seems to be little doubt that
the federal government will have to con-
Germ itself over the coal industry sooner
or later. Conditions are little better than
chaotic The operators, in most cases,
are losing money. The miners are bare
ly existing, and many thousands of them
are on strike in protest against unbear-
able conditions.
Coal mining is one of the great, basic,
raw-material industries Of the nation.
Business conditions generally cannot
ever be entirely healthy as long as the
coal trade is sick. Uncle Sam will have
to tackle the problem eventually, and the
sooner he gets started the better for all
conserned.

Christian Science

"Unreahtye is the subject of the
lesson-sermon, Sunday, in all
branches of The Mother Church,
The First Church of Christ. Scien-
list. in Boston, Mass.
One of the Scriptural citations
recounts Jesus healing of the wom-
all who had "a spirit of infirmity
eighteen years. and tells Of the
Indignation of the ruler of the Syna-
gogue because Jesus had healed on
the Sabbath day. 1t continues.
The Lord then answered him, and
said. Thou hypocrite doth not each
one of you on the Sabbath loose his
OK or his ass from the stall, and lead
MIN away to watering? And ought
not this woman, being a daughter
OF Abraham, whom Satan hath
bound 10. these eighteen years. be
loosed from this bond on the Sab
bath day?"
A correlative passage presents
Mary Baker Eddy's statement from
Science and Health with Key 10
the Scriptures: If sickness IS
true or the idea of truth. you can
not destroy sickness, and it would
be absurd to try. Then classify
sickness and error as our Master
did, when he spoke of the sick,
whom Satan hath bound. and find
a sovereign antidote for error in the
life giving power of truth acting on
human belief. a power which opens
the prison doors to such as are
bound. and sets the captive free
physically and morally.
