But Swt W.t.f U Llmll4 More than 100 years ago. Lord Byron, British poet, said: "Men really know not what water's worth." It's not surprising that he said it, but sad indeed that we (till can't comprehend this great truth. Some one else, not so bright, said. "As insipid as water" . . . That was actually a stu pid observation. The blue color on a world map conveys no true mean ing to most of us about how much water there really is that the world of water is much larger than the world of dry land. Three Quarters of the earth's surface Is cov ered by the waters and the average depth is mort than a mile. That's not just i sick ly film by a jugful. The oceans of the world are pretty ex tensive. In spite of this, the daily press carries stories of water shortages that is, shortages of sweet water. Many cities are faced with a serious prob lem and the problem will grow worse as the earth's wa ter tables continue to fall. In some places efforts are being made to deepen wells, and in many of these places of short supply the ocean is within easy walking distance. It seems very dificult for us to realize that sweet wa ter is exhaustible that the supply is limited and that much of it is being polluted with wastes and chemicals. Our reluctance to recognize this fact has caused the hu man race some embarrass ment and there will be more. In at least some parts of our own country there are areas where, when you turn the tap to get a drink, the water that pours out already has gone through a bathroom or two. Bdy Composition Scientists, after compre hensive experiments with living animals including man himself, agree that the hu man body is predominantly water that we can be liken ed to "walking bags of sea water." The solids in an adult man can easily be placed in small basin. Even at that. we are more solid than a watermelon they're 94 per cent water . which are lit tle more than oval "oceans' of sweet water contained in a thin, green-pigment. Pure water, of which we have not enough and which we will be pretty desperate to acquire within a very few years, is colorless in small amounts but in a mass looks blue. The amount and kinds of dissolved chemicals give it that taste, if water can be said to be "tasty," and fur nish necessary elements for our body functions. Solvent Erolution Water, one of the greatest solvents, will in time even dissolve solid rock. It is also one of the most restless of materials, always seeking its own level, and In doing so becoming musical, noisy or even destructive. An old Chinese proverb said: "A waterfall speaks the same language as the sea and no one has to leave home to hear it. If you did, who would tend the garden?" Vol umes have been written about the "babbling brook" that talks incessently in a liquid language which no one ever has been able to understand as it gurgles and babbles in apparent glee. The tide gurgles around the jetty or pilings. It is forever murmuring to someone, some where. Even the language of flowers is mute in comparison to the vocal persistence of moving waters. Water sur rounds continents and cush ions climates. It separates ; tana areas, until recently, w. never considered It valuable because there always has been so much of it. Goldfish's Heartbeat Starts Big Bulldozer Dallas - Wl - It was only the heartbeat of a tiny gold fish, but the electrical stlmu- I lus it produced started a giant bulldozer. The demonstration was used Monday at ground breaking for the new Biometrics In strument Corp. Some of th Intricate new medical elec tronic devices developed by Biometrics were used. The fish's heartbeat was picked up by electrodes placed in a bowl of water and am plified by a small transmitter. The transmitter's signal cranked up the bulldoier.

A case In point is a recent hearing held by a House agri culture subcommitte. on tex tile subsidies. As I understand the situa tion, the whole thing started back yonder when someone discovered that farmers were not getting enough money for their cotton. In an effort to remedy the deficiency, the government set up a system of price sup ports to make up the differ ence between the going rate and what was regarded as a fair pric for cotton. This worked fin. xcpi that It boosted th pric s. high it caused a slump In th. sal. of U.S. cotton or s.as. In an effort to remedy that deficiency, the government set up a system of export subsi dies to make up the difference between the U.S. price and the world market price. That worked fine, too, ex cept that it enabled foreign textile manufacturers to buy American cotton at a lower price than American manu facturers were, then able to sell cotton products In this country for less than U.S. manufacturers were charging for similar items.
