While gossamer clouds float high ;

And from ted banks Honeysuckles spill
Drowsy crows seek a pup ae’s shade;
There’s bass of a bullfrog in the glade.

Stir my beauty loving soul indeed.

THE SHORTAGE OF WATER
IS A GROWING PROBLEM _
By Walter Locke
The “Geophysical Year” faces,
among other things, the question of
water. We are running' short of it.
The surface of the earth is two
thirds water. The remaining third is
troubled by floods. The Chinese have
been dying by millions from the havoc
wrought Waily by their overflowing rivers.
we read of floods in Texas,
Indiana, Louisiana, California—every¬
where.
Yet, we are running short of water.
Ask, as to that, Los Angeles, New
York City, the Ohio Valley, the arid
irrigated West if it be not so. We
can go long without food. Without
water we quickly die. In our well
watered land we had thought of wa
ter begin as inexhaustible, like the air. We
to know better now.
On the ridge Spring lived
where I in the
West Virginia hills, we brought our
water from a spring. The spring
was at the bottom of the hill. Wa
carried our water up the hill in jugs.
No water, so laboriously got was,
of course, wasted. A gallon jug per
afford. person per day was about all we could
The consumption of water is a
measure_ of a people’s primitiveness.
The Chinese use little water now.
When China becomes industrialized
we are, a matter of but a few
now, what then?
In the America in which I carried
in gallon jugs, day before yes¬
we of are water now consuming 1,500

new economy, our indus¬
has done that. It is the v -
consumed by industry that ’ 'tikis
figures up.

In the Enough
United States as a .1 hi ! t
there is thus far water enoug
all. But with water, as with
fare, the problem is one of distribu¬
tion as well as quaintity. In even
well-watered areas of our industrial
states the water table—level of the
water stored underground—is falling.
Water is being taken from the
ground more rapidly than nature ia
putting water in.
All this in the geophysical year
calls for attention now. You never
miss the water, the ancient saving
goes, till the well runs dry. Tha
well in _ many a place threatens to
go dry.—Atlanta Journal.
