the best men on the council. He will
be reelected by 100 majority if he
wishes to run again. The election
had the effect of encouraging repub-
licans and the effect of this city cleo
tion will be felt next fall.
The new council meets on Monday.
There are many candidates, for mar

no promises have been made. The

Storage Reservoirs to Prevent Floods and
10 AID Navigation.

! plan has been proposed to stop
forever the costly spring floods at
Pittsburg and other places along the
rivers which drain the Appalachian
Mountains. These annualo devasia.
tons are. so certain in their recurrence
that they, have come to be consider
ed almost inevitable. All the efforts
of the government with dams, restrain.
ing walls, and other. engineering work
have proved inadequate to control
the streams when they have been
swollen with the melting winter SHOWS
On the other hand. the Government
projects have proved unavailing to
maintain the same rivers at. a depth
great enough to permit unhampered
navigation later on in the year, wher
the food waters have spent them
selves. This latter. trouble possibly
caases a greaer financial loss to the
Sosth than the foods, but as it IS

Il am one OF the best sleepers in tn"

soing to lose a job | held oyer 30 years
lago-the only Job I ever held down till
| went to work at my profession.
When / was a young fellow | went t.
work as a clerk in a silk mill over In
Paterson. My father was a struggling
clergyman and there was a whopping
big family of lis, All of US, boys and

anything, had Il pile in and help We

MY Job paid be So a week. 1t was

poor sort OF clerk at all. At any rate,
| appeared to give satisfaction to my
employer. But after I'd been working
at the job for a year or so and was
all tied up trying TO learn how to be a
surgeon a period OF depression fell
upon the sllk.making business In this
country and the factory where I clerk
ed began to lay of hands. Then, from
operatives In the mill, Office hands be-
gan to be ~furloughed. I stuck, but my
tenure was very uncertain. Fellows at
desks all around me were getting their
fateful layoff envelopes, and that, Of
.leourse, kept me In a state OF constant
panic. / needed the eight per most
distressfully, and the thought of hay.

II ran me down in health and vitality.
II dreamed ever night during that
somewhat protracted period of sus-
pense that l was jobless, and then I'd
wake up in a cold sweat, but most IN,
commonly tickled to know every time
that II had been but a dream. l Never
had the nerve to 90 to my boss ard
ask him, SOS to get II of my mind, how
long he intended TO permit me to hang
around on my job. Probably he
wouldn't have told me anyhow, being
a worried man.
II know now, of course, that the
kindly boss really permitted me to hold
on to my Job through all the trouble
for the silk industry solely because he
knew about my circumstances, the size
Of the family Of which I was one, and
about how I was studying to be q doc.
