Some years ago before the construc-
ton of the Jerome reservoir and when
the storage problem for the north side
project came up. It Is said the company

project decided to build the big reser-
yoir and II was constructed at a cost
of between $500, 900 and 100000. The
Wilson Lake reservoir was also built.
Queer Formation.
The Jerome reservoir is the largest
in the state, and probably in the Unit

been done on 1t for some time it was
completed and the water turned in At

Secretary knox's Speeches In Cuba
Cannot Help But Produce
Good Results.

Naturally the visit OF Secretary Of
State Knox to Cuba gave rise to a
very general discussion in the Cuban
newspapers of the past and present
relations between the island and the
United States. As Havana was the
last stopping place on tour that IN
cluded numerous other Latin-Ameri-
can capitals. there was no possible
reason why any extraordinary signin-
canoe should be attached to Mr..
Knox's visit. But the question OF an
neIation never quite gets laid In the
island. and this subject was given q
good deal OF airing during the Ameri-
can secretary's visit.

STATE TAKES HAND IN FIGHT
New Jersey Leads In Advanced LeeIs-

What is designed by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis as the most ad-
vanced legislation in the campaign
against tuberculosis that has been
enacted by any state In the United
States, II not by any country in the
world. is found In bill recently
passed by the New Jersey legislature
and signed by Governor Wilson. The
new law provides that tuberculosis
patients who refuse to obey the regu-
lations laid down by the state board
OF health concerning the prevention OF
their disease. and thus become NEIL
ace to the health of those with whom
they associate, shall be compulsorily
segregated by order Of the courts, In
institutions provided for this purpose.
II such a patient refuses to obey the
rules and regulations OF the institu-
ton In which he is placed. he may be
isolated or separated from other per-
sons and restrained from leaving the
institution" The law further pro-
vides that all counties in the state
Of New Jersey shall within six months
from April LIST make provision in spe-
cial institutions for the care of all
persons having tuberculosis in these
counties. The state treasury will sub
sidize each county to the extent OF
So week for each person maintained
in these institutions. except those
who are able to pay for the cost of

/" The MAN BEHIND. !"

/ We don't mean the man behind the
times, nor the man behind in his
i payments. Julius Caesar was "the
man behind" Rome. Washington was
the man behind'' the United States
at a crisis in its history. Every sue
cessful business venture, no matter
! now humble, has "a man behind;'
| the man who shoulders the respon-
/ sibility and plans the campaign, who
possesses those qualities that bring
success to him and to those associat-
ed with him in business.
Young man! if YOU wish to be the
man behind a successful enterprise,
attend the Tyler Commercial College
| of Tyler, Texas, Americas largest
school OF bookkeeping, business ad-
ministration and finance, shorthand
and telegraphy. With such effici,
ency as this school will give you, the
time will come when you will be 'sthe
man behind a successful enterprise;
when you will become factor in
the business world, and your name
a synonym Of success, again exempll-
flying the fact that with educated head
and skilled hands, young men and
! women can carve their names upon
the taIIest towers of fame.
We have now more students in
daily attendance than any other
three commercial schools in the
state combined. This shows the over
wheiming popularity Of the Tyler
Commercial College. 1t shows that
the people appreciate the advantages
of the famous Byrne systems, which
save the student, while qualifying
himself to hold a good position, al
most $500 in time and board over
what it would cost in a school teach
ing other systems.
We can place you in a good posi-
ton just as soon as your course is
finished. Write for. catalogue and
make your arrangements to enter at
once.

Marshall G. Leighton, chief hydro
srapher of the United States Geo
logical Survey, in an address before
the American Reclamation Fedora
ton at Chicago on Oct. 2S, declared
that none of the plans advanced
for controlling the floods in the Mis-
sissippi river is practicable Or an
assurance of safety.
B The water itself, he said, is worth
more to the nation as an avenue of
commerce than are the lands SUBJ
merged, and to the general failure to
recognize this fact he laid most of
he ineffectiveness of the previous
attempts to cope with the floods.
A national campaign under the di-
rection Of government engineers
might attack the problem advantage
#ously, he thought, by harnessing the
river in sections for water power.
