" Water, the lifeblood of all liv ing things, is also the lifeblood of industry. The production of a ton of finished steel, for ex ample, requires 65,000 gallons. As the nation grows, it gulps down water in ever-increasing quantities. The current demand for public use, industry and ir rigation totals an estimated 200 billion gallons a day or 73,000 billion gallons a year. - Falling water ' tables . and squabbles over water rights have plagued the West and Southwest for years.

With the present population at 23,000,000, there are 1,500 chil dren born every day. The rate of, infant mortality has declined in recent 'years so that now only 180 of 1,500 die before reaching adolescence. The general death rate is less than 1,000 daily. , Egyptian sociologists said it is practically impossible to in crease production and 'national income to keep pace - with the population growth. Educational and health programs: ' barely meet the increase, and produc tion projects, ' including land re form and industrialization, . can never match it. , They , explained that this in crease of birth rate is due to the fellaheen (peasants) who form two-thirds of the population. . To the fellah, a child is extra capital which costs nothing, be cause children - start working as hands in the fields or servants, in houses as soon as they are old enough to walk, thus adding a bit more revenue to the family's income. To the fellah's wife, there is more security for her in con stantly producing children be cause her husband, under Mos lem law, can easily divorce her for lack of fertility. ; Sociologists put forward two inter-dependent solutions. , The first is a country-wide program of obligatory. . educa tion. This would have the double effect of depriving the. fellah's children of their value as imme diate capital because of their be ing obliged to attend schools, as well as spreading education. The second is to outlaw poly gamy and restrict divorce. This, they pointed out, would result in strengthening the female's posi tion in the family as well as bet tering the Egyptian family bonds. ; ' CRIBBAGE COUP Providence, R. I. (U.R) A cribbage player, Joe Nolin, made a farce of the law of averages. He was dealt two perfect crib bage hands in six months. A Brown University ' statistician said the ehance of being dealt a perfect cribbage hand is one in 649,740. - "Use Mail Tribune Want Ads ing is becoming common : in Eastern cities.: Problem of Distribution Nature, however, is not ra tioning rain. The nation's total rainfall continues, to average 30 inches a year a superabund ance of 1,570,000 billion gallons. The basic problem is distribu tion. The Herculean task of replen ishing water in arid zones or cities where demand is outreach ing supply is being approached in several ways: conservation measures such as antipollution and re-use of water, helping na ture to increase supplies in areas of . scarcity, and conversion of fresh water from the sea. Some methods are old, others new and visionary. Interior Secretary Douglas McKay says economical conver sion of sea water, and reclama tion of contaminated water offer two of the most promising fields for research. " Several large distillation un its are actually operating at oil refineries in remote, sun-baked spots. The largest of these, on the Persian gulf, supplies 720, 000 gallons a day for the Kuwait Oil company. ' Unlimited sweet water from the salty sea is an age-old dream. But present distillation systems are still too costly for general use, the Rand corpora-1 tion' found" in "a recent survey. Depending : on the process, the cost in $150 to $1200 per acre foot compared to $1.50 to $50 for natural fresh water in the United States. :;. .;. . . Underground Reservoir . ' Known principles of launder ing sewage may eventually pro vide industry, and . agriculture with useable water, and science is looking for an economical way to treat industrial wastes. . Part of the nation's supply flows in vast underground reser voirs. In some localities, ground water is being tapped much fast er than nature can replace it. Artificial recharging of ." these reservoirs with excess runoff water may restore a cheap source of water. . ' On the King ranch in Texas, a 1,500-acre lake was built for a recharging experiment. As the lake fills, the water will be pumped down a deep well into a naturel reservoir that supplies hundreds of windmills. . Hydrologists, are studying other scemes, notably : surface treatment of watershed lands to stimulate greater insoak of rain and snow. Denuded land sheds water like a "tin roof, causing floods and loss" of fertile top soil. Reforesting, proper vege tation cover, contour plowing and construction of small deten tion, dams helps the earth to ab sorb rainfall. Evaporation Losses Plant life, like man and in dustry, is a greedy consumer of water. More than 70 per cent of the nation's rainfall is used by plants or breathed back into the atmosphere. To conserve local supplies, some experts favor the removal of profuse, "undesire able plants such as the thirsty, long-rooted salt pine. Evaporation robs open storage lakes, reservoirs and distribu tion canals of perhaps half their water. The rate, of course, varies with humidity. Oil layers or bouyant insulation covers might save millions of gallons. 'rC?s You'll Always Find o Reliability O Uniformity o Full Strength IN EVERY LOAD OF TRU-MSX CONCRETE Tru-Mix Concrete Co. FAST. PROMPT DELIVERY McAndrew Road Phone 2-5271 Old Payroll Sheet Sheds Light on Custer Massacre Fort Riley, Kan. (U.R) A yellowed payroll sheet for the period from Feb. 29 through April 30, 1876 has shed a bit of new light on one of the bitterest tragedies in U.S. Army history the massacre of Custer and his men at Little Big Horn. The payroll recorded the iast pay received by the men of Troop C before the rampaging Sioux slaughtered them in a ra vine on June 25, 1876. ' Until recently, Sgt. Lawrence R. Sisson had used the payroll as an exhibit in teaching. He found it in an Army salvage dump at Fort Hood, Tex., in April, 1946. When Sisson was transferred to Fort Riley, he linked the sheet to the Custer affair and the form now has been placed under glass and hung in battalion head quarters. Capt. Thomas W. Custer com manded Troop C. He died along side . his famous brother, Mai. Gen. George A. Custer, at Little Big Horn. Further Identification The massacre occurred, five days before the next bi-monthly payday for Troop C. The docu ment is important because it further identifies positively many of the victim's of the Sioux. Troop C and four other troops of Custer's 7th Cavalry Regi ment made up the only squad ron the general had at Little Big Horn. It was roughly one-third of the regiment. Troop, G and Troop E fell as they formed a skirmish line some 300 yards from Custer and completely outside his defense position. The men of C and E were in no position to defend themselves, nor could they take advantage of the small facilities the ground offered for defense. One of the Indian' chiefs, Lame White Man, and his men closed with Troop C and broke it. The soldiers were tumbled into the ravine and crushed.

Washington (U.R) What's new in Washington: : ? nver a week now, the red carpet has , been out for Rep. Bruce Alger of Tex as. "It's been one whin g- ding after an other, he said. "I've never been so over w h e 1 m e d." Alger is some thing of a political odd ity, since he is a Republican and represents the Fifth Congres sional District. "First time in history a Re publican ever went to the House of Representatives from Dallas county," he said. Harmon Nichols There are four new lady rep resentatives - in the 84th Con gress. And all four aqe properly impressed. For the most part they gawked for a few days, like other newcomers. They house-hunted and took their pot luck on' quarters in" the House office - buildings, just like.- -the other . freshmen. . Mrs. Cpya ' Knutson, a Demo crat from Minnesota, gave her self ,; the nickname of j'Coya" when she was a smalkone. She couldn't pronounce ' her- real name which' is Cornelia. The Coya has stuck. Mrs. Knutson and her husband , run a hotel back in Oklee, Minn. (pop. 500). She has done about everything there is to do. She plowed a straight furrow as a farm lady. She milked cows. She is a tal ented musician, and is a cham pion cook. She campaigned on a farm program. She pumped the hands of 20,000 voters and came out with a sore right paw. Mrs. Martha Griffiths, a Dem ocrat from Michigan, is a law partner with her husband. She is no stranger to the political game. She's a former judge and served a lick in the . Michigan Legislature. "I'm looking for ward to working in the big time political ring," she said. "I won't be too lonesome for my husband, who will mind our law business. I'll see him quite often, I hope. He flies his own airplane, Mrs. Edith Green, a Democrat from Oregon, spent most of her time shopping for a combination bed-couch when . she finally found an apartment. She has a son, Jimmy, who is in the Army in. California. Mrs. Green came on ahead of her. husband and younger son, Dick, for whom the bed-couch ' was bought. ' Mr. Green and Dick dropped off in Detroit and bought a new car and drove on from ' the motor city. The new Georgia peach on Capitol Hill is freshman repre sentative Mrs. . Iris Blitch, a Democrat of Georgia. She had a little trouble here for a time, but it didn't amount to much but worry. It seems that Geneva Brand, who has been the Blitch maid and cook for 18 years, somehow got her travel orders to Washington. "We spent one mixed up and was late getting whole day meeting every train and bus from the South," Mrs. Blitch said. "But my faithful Geneva got her the-next morn ing and stirred us up some grits and so forth at a late breakfast." TREE MICE Concord, N. H.

New York (U.R) Gloria Vanderbilt Stokowski, 30, heir ess who left her famed sym phony conductor husband for a stage career, will meet with him "in the near future" to discuss a divorce and custody of their children, her attorney said. Mrs. Ileuberger Unaware of Booing Portland (U.R) Mrs. Richard L. Neuberger, state representa tive and -wife of Oregon's new junior U.S. senator, arrived in Portland Sunday from Wash ington, D.C., and said she didn't recall that anyone had booed her husband during his speech at the Women's National Press club. ' . Press reports, last week said Mrs. George Malone, wife of Nevada's junior senator, had booed and left the room when Neuberger got up to speak. Mrs. Malone denied she had booed or created any disturbance. She explained she . simply ' had to leave the gathering to go to the dressing room. ? Mrs. Neuberger who stopped off here briefly on her way to Salem for the 1955 1gislative session, said she did not hear Mrs. Malone boo, but she said the Nevada senator's wife "must have made some kind of a stir' around her table."
