GRAVE DANGER IN NEGLECT OF . STATE FORESTS Indianapolis of Future Must Face Problem of Water Supply. BIG RESERVOIR URGED "Because Indiana has been prodigal ■with her once great forests until today there la a wholly inadequate supply of timber, and because this lack of forest tracts Is a direct cause of soil erosion resulting in rest land areas failing to retain the desired moisture with resultant lowering of water levels, a problem for future solution will be an adequate water supply, in the opinion of Richard lieber, director of the state department of conservation. The department stands for legislation that wUI underwrite this perplexity confronting future generations. Indianapolis is destined to face a sefions water shortage in-' the not distant future, Mr. Lieber declared, and immediate steps should be taken to meet the increased demand of the future, he argues. GROWTH OF CITY DEPENDS ON WATER. “We have not given much attention to our water supply, and yet, if this supply remains only stationary, let alone that it should be decreased, the growth of Indianapolis will be Immediately stopped and life therein will become unbearable. “Water is the basis of life. It is one of the most wonderful resources of our etate but neither city nor county has properly valued it. “The wster table all over the state is fast receding; antiquated and ill-consid-ered drainage schemes are lessening the quantity of this Invaluable resource dally. “Asa matter of self-preqprvatlon, Indianapolis should take immediate steps to safeguard its future water supply. Such is true throughout Indiana, for the water supply of ftre future is of state interest and welfare." According to Mr. Lieber,, this reserve

water supply should be obtained first by pre-emptying the water shed of White river as far, at least, rfs >Noblesvilie and secondly by the construction of a lake in close proximity to the city. These two factors would go a long way toward supplying Indianapolis at all times with the needed water and in addition would provide wonderful spots for recreation and water sports, he contends. Because this lake undoubtedly would be patrolled by a life guard, bathers would be assured considerable protection from accidents that annually claim a large toll, according to Mr. Lieber. CITY WOULD HAVE FIRE PROTECTION. Mr. Lieber points out that the effects of such a lake would be astonishing in many respects on our municipal life. For instance, in case of a conflagration the city would be assured of an ample water supply to tight it. Asa recreational center —absolutely necessary when Indianapolis has double its present population—it would be unsurpassed for providing essential breathing space, he points out. "Such a lake properly stocked with fish could be mode a mecca for anglers,” Mr. Lieber said. “Bathers, canoe enthusiasts and, in fact, lovers of all forms of aquatic sporte would welcome and undoubtedly appreciate It. “Again, atmospheric conditions frequently are improved to a great extent by a large body of water, and the section fortunate In having a large lake experiences none of the torrid heat often found in congested and thickly populated centers. “But most important of all would be the assurance of an ever-ready supply of water for all municipal uses.” Child, Chasing Ball, Loses Legs as Result TRENTON, N.

But as the minutes passed and Jim didn’t come, all happiness went from me. It was long after ten when my husband returned. The very first words he said these: “Where’s that selfish young cub? Couldn’t ho stay home with his sister one evening'” , “I sent him out. Jim,” I 6.ild colorlessly, waiting for Jim to come and tilt up my chin for his kiss. But Jim dropped into a chair near the door. “I’m dead tired,” Jie said. Then I took refuge in cold sarcasm: “Oh, indeed! Ycu weren’t too tired to run around town with your sister. So 1 should think you might find enough energy to walk across the room and—greet your wife.’” Jim laughed—but there was an ugly FRECKLES Don’t Hide Them With a Veil; Remove Them With Othlne—Double Strength.
