FOUR THE DAILY JOURNAL -GAZETTE AND COMMERCIAL-STAR, MATTOON, ILLINOIS MONDAT, MARCH 10, 166 Rotarians Hear Talk on Sources. of Water Members of the Mattoon Rotary Club heard Dr. Carl Bays of Urbana, an official of the Illinois Geological Survey, speak today at their weekly luncheon meeting in the Hotel U. S. Grant.

Dr. Bays spoke on "Geology of Supply in Illinois." He described the many sources from which water is obtained in this state. One of the chief sources of water is from glacier gravels and limestone crevices and caves, Dr. Bays said. "Many towns and cities also use shallow wells as a source for water," Dr.

Bays explained. "This often proves unsuccessful, and the deeper well method is more satisfactorily used. "Spacing of wells for the best results should be limited to not more than one well to 80 acres." Dr. Bays has written a report for the Mattoon Water Department to aid in solving the problem of obtaining a greater water supply for this city. Guests were Carl F.

112-6tt SOLDIER VOTE BILL IN SENATE BY. WILLIAM S. NEAL (1. N. S.

Staff Correspondent) Washington- Sen. Tom Connally. (D) of Texas, introduced the conference report on the soldiers vote bill for Senate approval today with the explanation that it represents "neither extreme" in the bitter controversy. Connally, discussing the predominantly state's rights bill brought out of conference, said: "The conference report represents neither the extreme views of those who advocate widespread use of the federal ballot or the other extreme." However, the senator described voting as "heretofore a state function." Connally declared the federal ernment under the bill throws its physical forces back of the states in implementing the soldiers' vote by state ballot. "More soldiers and sailors.

will be enabled to vote under the pending bill than under any measure proposed or possible of adoption," Connally asserted. "If this bill should be rejected, I can see no, hope of the passage by both bodies of a satisfactory measure." The Texan warned the states they had "solemn obligations" to set up absentee machinery for servicemen and women. HOLD FUNERAL OF CLAUD L. JAMES Funeral services for Claud L.
