water industry uses to achieve production
goals For instance, $4,000 gallons Of water
are used to produce one ton of steel.
1t is an ironical fact that, as the oceans
rise and create problems along the eastern
seaboard, the water level is dropping in
many areas, and as industrial consumption
of water increases the problem of finding
adequate water supplies for both cities and
industry will sometimes be serious.
The real squeeze will not come for an
othe- twenty years, in all probability, and
in the meantime careful planning, conserV-
alton, and proper management of supplies
and storage, will do much to aid individual
communities who wish to plan ahead and
provide an adequate supply Of water for
continued economic growth.

Her Cloak of Laughter

Quite often she is laughing
Lest folks ground might see
Within her heart there is sorrow
And hiddenmisery.
Her foce is wreothed With laughter
Lest friends she meets might guess
Thot whot she feels beneath it
Is far from happiness.
But does her cloak Of laughter
Do whot she strives to do,
When friends who know her better
Sees sadness peeping through
Though laughing to hide sorrow
May fool some stranger folk
From close friends one cont hide it
With laughter os O cloak
For often clocks Of laughter
Are opt to wear too thin
And those who know and love US,
Still see the grief within
Oft with smile folks greet the world
And TO il they seem euy
hide from view their secret hearts
Where hidden sorrows lay.

Water and Industry

Dr. Walter c. LoWdermilk, L. S. soil con-

Nations 10 survey the world Is water needs,
has come up with warning that rapidly
accelerating consumption of waste by IN
dustry will create a serious Water-short-
age problem in most countries of the world
in the next twenty or twenty-five years. DR..
Lowdermilk included the United States in
his recent survey.
Dr. Lowdermlk, in his report, called at
tention to the finding Of U. s. commission
which studied the water supply OF the
United States recently That commission,
whose chairman was William S. Paley es-
timated that by 1878 L. 5. industry would
expand in areas only according to the
availability Of the water supply.
Many people do not realize how much

IN terms Of population, there are

comparison, the survey shows that
there are IA government agencies
