TOWN is BEING REBUILT
Flood of Waters Has Not Taken Black
River Falls, Wis, From the Map. I

More than q million dollars absolute
ly disappearing in the short tiIpe OF
two hours was the toll collected ny the
waters at Black River Falls, Wiscon-
sin. Even the residents of the town
could not realize what it meant until
the lake formed by the Hatfield dam
was dry, and the rush of waters had
passed on to the Mississippi.
Just out of reach of tho food the
business men and residents OF the
place watched the waters carry away
the buildings that represented the
homes of business enterprises which.
1t had taken years of effort to build.
Among the larger industries seemingly
wiped out within a few minutes was
the plant of Coles Carbolisalve. This
plant, along with others that suffered
like fate, is today being rebuilt, and
the business men Of Black River Falls
promise that a better town shall re-
place the one destroyed by the raging
floods, and that just as rapidly as men
and material can put it together. 1t is
catastrophies like the breaking Of the
Hatfield dam that demonstrate the
American spirit.

Air Mile.

The lair mile" is unit OF measure
ment that has come into use with the
advancement of aviation. We had the
land mile and the sea mile, which is
approximately one-seventh longer th IN
the land mile of America. The nautl.
cal mile is often incorrectly called a
knot, but knot is a measure OF both
distance and time. 1t is correct to say
that vessel makes ten knots, but 70
say that she makes ten knots an hour
is tautology. The air mile is measured
differently from the land mile and the
sea mile. 1t is a land mile minus the
retardation of an adverse wind or plus
the acceleration of favoring wind
Thus an aviator could cover many air
miles while lowering over a given
point on the earth's surface-Brown.
