HOT WATER


"You never miss the water til
the well runs dry is a saying SO
old and hackneyed that it really
takes nerve to quote it here now.
but there is reason to. Only now
it should be You never miss the
hot water until the heater runs
dry"
How true that is, foreign cor
respondent for well-known
American newspaper &C h C G 20
Tribune) is best qualified to testi-
fly. The poor man had been crav-
ing hot water for more than five
long months when he wrote to a
friend in this country.
1.-THE guy who invented hot wa
ter hasn't had enough credit" so
he wrote. II know that Watts-his-
name invented the steam engine.
But, for the life of me cant re-
member who heated water in the
first place. This is all wrong.
Somebody should write a story
about him."
This newspaper man is right.
You have seen more than one arti-
Gle about how hard it is to get hot
water in Europe, and soap, too.
But l think he tells the story a
great deal more convineingly and
Interestingly. Let's go on listening
to him. And while you listen COM
pare what he says with what you
enjoy as matter of fact in your
own home.
Il don't think everybody in
America realizes that few people
in the world have hot water" this
reporter wrote. 1T is rare in Eu-
rope. Even in England such homes
as do have it cook it up in q coal
or charcoal boiler, on the edge Of
the bathtub. Now and then this
explodes and burns the house
down.
mot many European hotels
have hot water. Those that do have
1t are the ones patronized by
American travellers. Their odd
tastes are catered to, at so much
per taste. This morning, my first
day back in Switzerland in nearly
six months, leaped from my bed
with a glad cry. l plunged into u
tub of delicious Swiss hot water.
My startled pores made little
noises as they opened, like the dis
tant popping of corks.
I'm Athens l bought some can
ned heat and warmed water in a
tin cup. for shaving. / thought
some of buying two or three hun
dred cans of canned heat, putting
them under the bathtub and set
ting them all burning at once"
Now comes the bad news. The for
eign correspondent reports, glum-
ly, my scheme failed. The tub
was flat on the floor"
We take cleanliness for granted
in this country. We turn a faucet
and If we don't get hot water we
say: Something wrong with the
hot water" We just know it
should have run. 1t is just plain
unthinkable that we should lack
hot water. We take fresh clean
clothes for granted. We take fresh
clean bodies for granted Those
European conditions are clear be-
yond our comprehension.

railroad employes-real aristocrats of labor!
Their paw is high by any standard. Granting
of these demands, therefore, would mean that
the railroads would be paying out millions IN
unearned wages to those in the very highest
pay brackets.
We'd Like To Spend This Money On You
You know how much the diesel has meant to
YOU in increased speed, comfort and conven-
ience. The railroads have many moro of them
ON order for even greater improvement IN
service to you. But needless drains of money,
such as this present demand of the unions for
needless men on diesels, reduce the ability OF
the railroads to spend money on better serv-
ice for you. -, :.
Proud as the railroads are of the diesel. it Is
only a small part of their Improvement pro-
gram. Since the War, literally billions OF dol.
isrs have been spent on improvement Of

ARMY TO RETAIN
 PORT AT SEATTLE,
 C0NGRESSMEN SAY

WASHINGTON, Jan. 31--tR-The Army Department has no present plans to close the Army Port of Embarkation at Seattle, two North west Pacific Congressmen said last night.
 Acting Secretary Gordan Gray to- day told Senator Magnuson and Rep. Mitchell. Washington Democrats, they said, that he knew of no i'm mediate plans for closing the port, as he has been rumored in the Paci- fic Northwest.
 He said that before any action to close a Pacific Port of Embarka- tion is taken he will notify the Congressmen and let them present data showing the importance of the Seattle port to the Great Circle Route to the Orient and to Alaska.
 Mitchell told a reporter he and Magnuson wished to point out the smaller cost of operating through Seattle.
 Mitchell said Gray told them the Army always is making cost surveys and he could not predict what the future will hold for Pacific ports or whether appropriations may some day force the Army to close one of them.
