PROTECTING THE WATERS.
To find and supply to the people
enough fresh, clean water becomes in-
creasingly a problem as populations
congest. So numerous are great cities
in England, that some are finding the
problem very serious. Refuse from
cities and industries taints streams
and sometimes destroys them as
sources of water supply.
The same may be said in regard to
shallow wells dug on the homes of
residents of a city or town. And evm
what is called a deep well which is
not more than a few hundred feet
deep, is not entirely free from sur-
face contamination.
In this country science, govern-
ment and industry have joined hands
to cope with these conditions. The
Federal Bureau of Mines, the Ameri-
can Petroleum Institute and the Am-
erican Steamship Owners, Association
are grappling with stream pollution
by oil from oil fields and refineries,
and also with the difficulties growing
out of the use of oil as fuel for ships.
Many beaches have suffered from oil
pollution, and fishing industries also
are injured.
Fortunately for our country, the
problem has been recognized before it
became acute, Cooperation of in-
dustrial and governmental agencies
is developing means of control, while
international regulations are being
developed to protect the seas. All
this illustrates the intelligent attitude
which business and government nowa-
days take toward their common prob>-
lems. When difficulties arise, they
get together, not with knives in their
hands, but with a serious purpose of
reaching solutions helpful to all con-
cerned.
And this is the attitude all citizens
should take with regard to the water
problem in Saint Jo. Never did a town
of this size stand in greater need of
a system of waterworks and sewerage
that will supply the people with good,
wholesome, pure water in abundance
for all home purposes than Saint Jo
does today. It is imperative, unless
we are content to sit idly by and let
disease and pestilence stalk unob-
structed through our streets and
strike down old and young alike.
WIDER ROADS FOR MORE CARS
The American Research Foundation
finds that it is becoming a pressing
necessity to widen the arterial high-
ways, especially near large cities. In
a few years, it declares, we will have
30,000,000 cars; and its bulletin adds:
"It is estimated that good roads
now save the highway users $750,000,-
000 a year. Motorists pay the bulk
of road building expenses, but prob-
ably profit by it far less than many
others. Land values have been enor-
mously increased by highways, the
benefits extending to farmers even in
remote sections. With the growth of
our cities more and wider highways
in their vicinity are a vital necessity,
not only for passenger traffic but to
facilitate the transportation of food
and supplies into the population cen-
ters."
A Short Sermon
By Rev. S. L. Ball, Sherman, Texas
Subject: The Sympathy.uf Jesus. • enemies shall cast a trench about thee
Text: "And when he was come near land compass thee round and keep thee
he beheld the city and wept over it."
Luke 19:24.
This is said of Jesus and Jerusa-
lem. Jesus wept over Jerusalem.
Jerusalem was a great city in those
days, and was the center and seat of
Jewish worship. Solomon's temple
was there, but the worship even in
the temple was for the most part
merely formal. To say the least,
there was a great deal of wickedness
in the city. The majority of the
leaders, both in the church and in the
State, were refusing to accept Jesus
as the Messiah and Savior of the
world. To be sure, the common peo-
ple heard him gladly and he had a
great following.
Jesus was both duman and divine.
He was God and man. He came to
seek and to save that which was lost.
Being divine he foreknew future
events. Ho not only knew that the
Jews were rejecting him and planning
his destruction, but he knew that he
would submit to their power, and that
he would be crucified and would rise
again and live forever. He also fore-
knew and foresaw the coming destruc-
tion of Jerusalem under the siege of
Titus in the year A. D. 70.
Josephus tells us that one million
one hundred thousand jjersons perish-
ed in the siege and destruction of Je-
rusalem. Some believe that this is an
exaggeration, but no doubt the great
multitudes which crowded into the
city for protection from the approach-
ing Roman armies composed a vast
throng of helpless, sufferng people,
hundreds of thousands of whom per-
ished, not only at the hand of cruel
Roman soldiers, but for lack of food
and water, during this five months
siege. It has been said that some
hungry, despairing mothers ate their
own children during this awful time
of trouble, suffering and death.
Evidently this was but a little part
of the human misery which Jesus saw.
No wonder that he wept. He not only
wept, but he went on saying to them:
"If thou hadst known, even thou, at
least in this thy day, the things which
belong unto thy peace! But now they
are hid from thine eyes. For the
days shall come upon thee, that thine
in on every side, and shall lay thee
even with the ground, and thy chil-
dren within thee; and they shall not
leave in thee one stone upon another;
because thou knewest not the time
of thy visitation." Luke 10-41-44.
What a prophecy! Jesus came to save
them from that and from all other
trouble, but they would not hear him.
Jesus said unto them: "O Jerusa-
lem, Jerusalem, which killest the
prophets, and stonest them that are
sent unto thee; how often would I
have gathered thy children together
as a hen doth gather her brood under
her wings, and ye would not." Luke
13:34. "As a hen doth gather her
brood under her wings" fo * their pro-
tection and comfort and welfare—in
time of sorrow, of rain, of cold, of
danger. So Jesus says to all the
world of suffering, sinning, sorrow
ing, perishing men: "Come unto me,
all ye that labor and are heavy laden,
and I will give you rest." Matt. 11:28
As it is better for the little,, helpless
chick to have the warming protection
of the mother hen, rather than to re-
main out in the rain and cold alone,
so it is infinitely wiser and better for
helpless man to seek protection in
the arms of the crucified and risen and
living Redeemer, rather than to re-
main out in a cold world of sin and
selfishness. As Jesus wept over Je-
rusalem, so he is weeping over a
sinning, suffering, perishing world.
Some one has said that God suffers
in sympathy with suffering humanity,
and that this divine suffering may
possibly continue as long as human
suffering shall last. Be that as it
may, let us remember that we are
called ypon to "Grieve not the Holy
Spirit of God, whereby ye are sealed
unto the day of redemption." Eph.
4:30. As good parents are grieved
and suffer and weep when their chil-
dren go wrong and get into trouble,
and as they rejoice when their chil-
dren do excellently, so God is griev-
ed and suffers and weeps (as Jesus
did over Jerusalem) over his sinning,
suffering children, and the divine call
is truly extended to all the world of
suffering men, "Come unto me all ye
ends i f the earth, and be ye saved."

clares that the great fighting craft
have seen their day. Battleships and.
cruisers have lost primacy because!
they cannot cope with aircraft and'
submarines.
Speaking of the fact that the en-
tire battle line of our navy has now
been placed on an oil-burning instead |
of a coal-burning basis, the admiral
added:
"Great Britain has established great
stores of oil at her bases all over the!
world; Japan likewise has accumu-1
lated vast reserves of this munition.
All navies are now on the oil-burning [
basis, because oil requires less space year 1927, especially in certain sec-

HARD KNOCKS AND LOVE
LICKS.
It is said that there is likely to be
shortage in the grain crop for the
A PROP TO PROSPERITY.
The following from the Wichita
Eagle so nearly represents our views
on the oil situation that we reporduce
it as showing exactly what we believe
about it:
Production of petroleum is said to
be 20 percent larger than it was a year
ago. That, however, is not what is
worrying producers and refiners of
crude oil. It is that production is con-
siderably in excess of consumption.
All last summer and as late as Octo-
ber consumption was equal with or in
excess of production. Since last fall
it is claimed there has been a steadily
increasing spread between production
and consumption until it has reached
7 percent. But this summer there will
be a record-breaking automobile mile-
age and consequently gasoline con-
sumption in excess of anything ever
experienced. Some of the biggest pro-
ducers, including the Seminole field,
are being artificially stimulated to get
maximum production. Crude prices
are almost at their lowest level in five
years, and the companies with big
storage capacities are filling their
tanks with cheap petroleum. When
the tanks_ are filled, when gasoline
consumption begins roqketing and
when the pressure is taken from the
big producers, the oil business is go-
ing to change speedily for the better.
The petroleum industry is delicately
adjusted. It is pompt to reflect any
adverse conditions, and equally as
prompt to take steps to cure those
conditions. That is a happy circum-
stance, for prosperity in the South-
west leans heavily upon petroleum
and every one is interested in keeping
a firm setting around this stalwart
prop.
SIMS' SENSATIONAL INTERVIEW
The recent interview in which Ad-
miral William S- Sims discusscd the
naval disarmament problem has
stirred up a deal of controversy. As
aboard ship, produces 50 to 00 per
cent more power per ton, and requires
a considerably smaller crew. No other
naval power possesses its own oil as
does the United States; yet so impor-
tant is oil that there were times dur-
ing the war when English commanders
were under orders not to proceed at
more than one-half or three-quarters
speed, except when confronting the
enemy, in order to conserve oil."
Asked if the American gavernment
had established any great oil stores
as insurance against war exigencies.
Admiral Sims replied that he was not
informed, aside from the well known
fact that large reserves had been set
up in the Hawaian Islands. "But,
having resources and production of i what we ought not tu buv.
oil available on both the Atlantic and I —
Pacific coasts," he added, "that is not j gome people, maybe most of us.
