All rights of republication of special dispatches herein are also reserved. A Pure and Copious Water Supply Richmond ha3 never been threatened with a water famine or endangered by unwholesome water. The quality of the supply furnished by the Richmond City Water Works is far above the average, while the company has always kept its equipment at the highest point of efficiency. And in passing one may say that the service of the other utilities in Richmond leaves' little to be desired. .
We are so habitually accustomed to good service that we do not appreciate fully the work of the utilities in providing for our comfort, con
venience and health.
, The city of Bloomington just now is having
an experience with its water supply that is dis
tressing and fraught with danger to health and
to the protection of the municipality. The sup
ply 13 so low that water is imported by tanks and peddled on the streets. The price is commensurate with the expense to which the peddlers
are put in getting a supply. .
State officials have been forced to co-operate
with city authorities to solve the problem. Gov,
McCray has offered to send engineers to Bloomington to help establish a plentiful supply, as the
state, owing to thet present of Indiana university, has an interest in the situation. - Bloomingtbn's plight should serve to warn
other communities that a pure and abundant supply of water is a consideration of major import
ance. A city may not be seriously crippled by an interruption in service of other utilities, but when the water supply fails, it not only discommodes residents, but also jeopardizes their health and he"saf ety of their property. . One can easily imagine what would happen if a 'fire broke Out in Bloomington now. As there
is not enough drinldng water to go-around, the fire department wuld make little headway
against a stiff blaze fanned by a high wind.
Modern civilization in the cities is dependent upon it3 utilities. The individual citizen no
longer ftas his own light, fuel and water supply on his premises, but he depends absolutely upon
the services of companies organized to provide
them. t ; .
Ifr these companies? are watchful othe city's needs' and keep their plants working efficiently, the citizen can rest easy. If not, he must be
ready to face privations. Inasmuch as the utilities perform an essential service, and are paid in
return for it, a spirit of co-operation should exist
between the consumeiT. and the producers, which
will' enable both sides to appreciate the import
ance of the service given. If this relationship
rests on a sound understanding and on mutual
good will, both the utility and the consumer will
profit thereby.
Richmond is fortunate in having men at the head of its public serv:lt'e utilities who believe in giving adequate service at reasonable rates. Adherence to this policy ill be a blessing to both the city and the utilities.. '

By FREDERICK J. IIASKIX WASHINGTON, D. Ot. 27. The Davy this week is beginning an lntenelve campaign for recruits. Tnirtycight thousand young Americans aro wanted to put on the blue uniform and be trained into artisans, machinists, aviators, gunners, radiomen, torpedomen, electricians, clerks, submarinemen, and the other vocations necessary to the operation of Uncle Sam's fighting ships and the naval shore es
tablishments. From now on for many weeks the recruiting offices will be busy enlisting young men who elect to take advangtage of the undoubted opportunities which the navy offers them. It may come as a surprise to some that the navy so soon after the disarmament agreement is seeking 38,000 new men. The answer is obvious. Even the reduced establishment permitted by the treaty permits the American navy to have 86,000 men in its service. These men enlist for a relatively short period of time. The r.ew recruiting is to find men to take the places of those whose enlistments have expired or who are leaving the service to go into the reserve or retirement. For instance, the navy this year is losing 2,600 chief petty officers who have served the required time and ara now going on the retired list with good pay. These men, whatever oc- . cupations they may now take up, will continue to draw from $67 to $134 a month from the government for the rest of their lives. This is a reward for long and faithful service, granted by a law now four 'or five years old. Those who are retiring after 16 years of service will get $67 a month. Those who have served a full 20 years will get $105. A man who retires af ter 30 years service gets $134 a month
for life. These allowances amount to $804, $1,260, and $1,608, a year respectively; and, calculating them as
income on capital invested at four per
cent, they are the equivalent of $20,
100, $31,500 and $40,200 respectively, hanA d over by the government to the retiring petty officers for their free use during the remainder of their ' lives. Inasmuch as a boy can enlist
in the navy at the age of IS, it will be
seen that he can gain the smallest of these rewards when he is 34 years old and needs only to stay in the service
until he 48 in order to secure the larg est. No Other Nation So Generous.
No other nation is so generons to its sailors. The existence of this retirement law is one of the chief reasons why the navy is able to enlist
men of calibre of those who now
serve in it. Because of this and other
attractions, the naval service has now
become highly selective. Of those apparently qualified who apply for enlistment, only one in three can get in at all. The navy is now able to
pick its men with great care.
The young man who enlists in the navy can do so in the knowledge that
he is taking up a career of fundamental
use and value to his fellow country
men. For every dollar the people pay him the people get value received, and this is true even if he and his mates
never have to go to actual war for their employers. In fact, the view that a navy is an essential but expen
sive ornament in time of peace and only pays for the money invested in it after a war comes is a view that is
rapidly passing away. The chief value
of the navy is lt3 peace-time value
and it serves the country well merely
by existing.
The recent revelations made by the
revolutionary governments of Europe
In ransacking their foreign offices and publishing the secret documents pigionholed therein have constituted
a powerful endorsement or the wisdom
of the policy of the United States in
maintaining a strong navy during the past 30 years. We are beginning to
see something of the fate we have escaped, and to understand that for that escape we can thank the American navy. Even without its splendid record in the World war, the navy has justified all the effort spent upon it. These formerly secret but now published archives 6how that for the generation preceding the outbreak of the
World war diplomacy In Europe was but another name for warfare, bloodless, but without consciem e or consideration for the rights of weak nations. The successful diplomacy has been that which could demand the greatest military force if it needed to call upon it. The diplomats masked what they were doing with such fine words as influence," and the like; but actually all thesa words have meant the conquest of peoples, too weak to resist.
Behind each set of successful diplo mats stood power armies and navies. With these the imperialistic nations
carried on their expansion by coercion-
Navy Backs Up Diplomats.
It is not long ago that the school
geopraphies showed a large part of
the north coast of Africa belonged to
Turkey. It was territory over whici
the Sultan had either direct temporal power or the influence that was his by virtue of his being head of the
Mohammedon religion. Today France
has Algiers, Italy has Tripoli, and
Egypt Is independent. The turks were
skilled diplomats; they were even
fierce fighters on land; but they lacked
a navy strong enough to command the
respect of their more powerful advei-
sanes.
And what was true of the Mediter
ranean coast and other parts of Afri
ca has been true also of Asia. Fart3l
of China were lopped off, and it is only the firm assertion of an open-door poli
cy by our own state department that prevented perhaps the dipmemberment of China. In southern Asia and among the rich archipeligos of the South Sea has the same story been repeated defensless peoples exploited by those
who had the power to conquer, if need
be, by might.
One great section of the world, and only one, has been exempt from the raids of European diplomacy the Western Hemisphere North and South America. A hundred years ago this government enunciated the Mouroe Doctrine and since that time has been prepared to maintain that doctrine by force, principally by naval force. ' As a result, no European flag flies on American soil today except over land occupied before the United States became a nation. We can than force, the potential force of the American navy, floating in our harbors or cruising up and down our coasts, for our immunity. There is no reason to believe that the same diplomatic game is not going forward In the same old way. There was a brief moment in which it seemed that the nations of the earth might at
tempt to do away with warfare alto
gether, but that moment has passed. Militarism is as progressive as ever.
The "mandate" now substitutes for tha "sphere of influence" a change in name and nothing else. We are beginning, too, to realize tlat most of the nations of Europe do not abhor 'tvar as do we Americans. We suffered with them in spirit a few years ago, lmt now it is dawning on our people that millions of them actuary preferoI the fighting, with its assurance of adequate food, clothes, and shelter, to a half -starved existence in city slums or peasant villages. To these swarming, thwarted populations America is nc-v a more glittering prize than ever. TTtiey picture us with our pockets heavy with gold taken at the expense of thtsir present misery. The navy is. costing now about $300,000,000 a year1 about five cents a day for each American household.
This is a small p rice to pay for the protection it gives us amid the frightful
dangers that nep v beset the earth.

A thorough exiunlnation of the egg and the tablecloth reveals nothing, and the feat appears to be one of genuine balancing of the most difficult sort. The trick d oes require careful balancing, but there is a little swret that aids the pa former. He Dreviously shakes the e- very hard, and hold it with the routrt ed end downwards. The Tolk Is thus iroken and sinks to me end, making t'Jb at end heavier than the other. Thus the trick, which under normal conditions would be almost impossible, is no 'longer a difficult matter.

After Dinner Stories This conversation was heard on a diner between the head chef and another chef, who was sent on an errand. Being gone longer than the head chef liked, the latter said to his
assistant on his raturn: "Well nig
ger, you can go thq fudderest the
quickest, and stay Kb3 longest, and do
tire lessest of .any rug ger I ever saw."
Two old English women who had
not. been on speaking terms were
brought together by friends who desired to patch up their quarrel. There was an embarrassed silence between them for a moment, then one ventured. "Well, Mrs. Tggins, I wish you all
you wishes me." "An' 'oo's saying narsty things now snapped the other woman.
Wise old Aesop once said this about the tongue: "It Is at the same time the best and the worst thing in the world." There is none who will not agree to this, for who has not learned its fact, one way or the other? How the tongue can cut Its sharpened edge into the soul and how it can lift up whole multitudes and set them to doing useful work in the world! How like a two-edged sword at times, and at others like oil poured upon troubled waters, according to the way In which it is used. Looks often deceive but tongues have a way all their own ot opening up the inner workings of a mind and picturing character. Get a man to talk and you won't need to inquire as to his pedigree. He will either be your friend or your enemy. You will trust him or avoid him thereafter. What a member is this tongue! In song, how it has Immortalized such names as Jenny Lind, Caruso, McCormack. And in speech such names as Gladstone, Wendell Phillips, Luther, and Lincoln. These things you say are expressive, largely, of what you are. Tongue control is all-important, for where would anger get its weapon were it not for the tongue? And how would we get into the innermost chambers of our friend's heart were it not that we exchange thoughts and expessions by means of this useful member, the tongue? The intimacy of this tongue of ours! Words lie so cold and silent, but when warmed by the tongue and given life, what a thrill of reality do we experience! The only record we have of the teachings of Jesus are the words He uttered to those who came to hear. Just fragments. But from them for nearly two thousand years billions of people have drawn comfort and inspiration. Say pleasant, kindly, happy things or else keep the doors ot your mouth closed and your tongue inside.

It is a pleasure to know that future generations of voters are bing epare. doubly a pleasure because the girl babies will be voting as well as the boy babies. Parents used to carry babies up to be kissed with a reckless abandon which would now be condemned by every scientist in the world. But the custom, happily, seems to have passed away.

do not remember that, away back in childhood, they were kissed by politicians.
