MAY STOP FLOODS
Regulation of Streams by Forests
Is Solved.
Overflow Prevention Said to Have
Been Worked Out by United
States Geological Survey
Means Purchase of Land
Under Weeks Act.

Washington.-Tna the forest COW
er OF mountains and hills has an ap-
probable and measurable effect on
navigation streams and that the re-
moval of the forest growth from the
lands tends to produce floods is the
conclusion reached by the United
States Geological Survey announced
as the result Of series of scientific
experiments in the White mountains
of New England. The report carries
with it the statement of the survey
that the removal of the forests tends
to produce floods. The Investigations
are believed to solve a problem long
source Of strenuous contention
among scientists. While the investi-
White mountain area only, they estab-
lish q principle OF far wider applica-
ton and indicate that there may be a
scientific method of preventing floods
generally.
In conducting it's experiments, the
Geological Survey selected two small,
almost exactly similar drainage basins
of about five square miles each on the
east branch of Pemigewassett river,
one largely clothed with virgin timber
and the other deforested and burned.
Careful measurements of precipita-
ton over the areas and of the run-off
of the respective streams show that
not only was the snow held better in
the forested area, but that during a
period of II days in April, including
the stream in the deforested area was
comparative flood. practically >dou-
BILE that Of the stream flowing through
the forested area.
On both streams photographic sta
tons were established and the stream
flow determined with a high degree
of accuracy. The survey report shows
that the maximum food flow from the
forested basin was only 81 per cent.
Of that from the deforested basin
The Survey says:
THE stream Of the forested basin
Is observed to be the steadier of the
two and In proportion to it's drainage
area it tends-at least during the
spring months-to promote a steady
flow Of water in the master stream of
which 1t is a tributary.
Such an actual demonstration and
cumulative measure of the perform
ance of different areas, some forested
and others deforested, has never been
attempted in trying to determine the
effect of forest cover on stream flow.
Efforts to arrive at definite conclu-
sions have always been based on a
study of longtime records of precipi-
tation and stream discharge; but ow-
ing to the many qualifying factors
such efforts have simply resulted in
divergent opinions and inconclusive
controversies.
THE results of the present actual
measurements in these mimic drain
age basins, so accurate and refined in
method as to approach laboratory ex-
periments, where exact results may be
expected, leave no doubt as to the con-
clusion. Forest cover and the re-
sulting forest mat In the White noun
tain granite area does 20 a consid-
cradle and measurable degree steady
and regulate stream flow, and there
fore must be stated as an important
factor in maintaining the navigability
of streams whose headwaters lie in
such areas"

ISAAC 7HAYER DIES
 AFTER SHORT ILLNESS
Aged Resident Passes Away at Home
 of His Son

An illness of but two days resulted yesterday afternoon at 1 o'clock in the death of Isaac Thayer, for eight years a resident of this ity and for twenty one years in Arizona Since the death of Mrs. Thayer, in Lima, Ohio, last summer, MT. Thayer had made his home with his son, Dr. L. H. Thayer, at 520 North Fourth street. Dr. Thay- CT had but recently come to Phoenix having for several years practiced in in Buckeye.
 Early last summer when the health of MT. Thayer began to fail it was thought that a visit to the old home in Ohio might result in improvement. MT and Mrs. Thayer went to Lima, but Mrs Thayer died shortly after wards. It is probable that the re- mains of MT. Thayer will be shipped to Lima to be laid away beside those of his wife The arrangements for the funeral, however, will not be made un- til another son who is absent in the northern part of the state can be reached.
 Before coming to Arizona, Rev. J. Harvey Deere, was the pastor of the Baptist church which the Thayers at tended. MT. Deere, now a pastor in Phoenix will officiate at the funeral of MT. Thayer

BRITISH NAVY
 FUR YOUNG MEN
Winston Spencer Churchill, First Lord of Admiralty, Arranges That Plum s Fall to the Comparative ly Younger Officers
ASSOCIATED PRESS p1sPArcHl

LONDON, Dec. l4-N mStOn Cnur- chill. the First Lord of the Admiralty himself a young man to have reached the position he occupies in the British cabinet, has set about making the British navy young mans navy. In the list of recent command appoint ments the plums have fallen to the comparatively younger man, the com bined ages of the newly appointed officers totalling TIC years as compar- ed with the 815 of their predecessors. The oldest man appointed to these commands was NiceAdmiral Egerton, aged 50, who succeeds Admiral May, aged 63. as commander-in-ch chief at Plymouth. The other fortunate of ficers are all some years younger than Admiral Egerton, and succeed men all of whom are some years their seniors. His aim is to enable men to reach positions of the highest responsibility while they are in the prime of life.
 
 As the number of cotton mills in crease in Lancashire the milIers find greater difficulty in getting oper- atives It is not only that more hands are required, but there is a growing dislike among the girls to work in the mills. They make much higher wages than do their sisters who enter shops or the office, but object to wearing clogs and shaWls while the other girls go to and from their work in costumes. brightly trim med hats, and gloves and shoes. With their five dollars weekly, compared with the few shillings of the shop girl. they can afford and do have finery, but having to clean their machines, cannot wear it at their work. The mill owners have been threatening to import foreign labor, and it is to pre- vent this that an agitation has been started to improve the working cOndi- tions of the girls.
 With the transfer of the larger part of European Turkey to the Balkan allies, a certainty, Lancashire cotton spinners, and in fact manufacturers all over the country, are beginning to wonder what effect it will have upon trade
 The cotton men fear that the effect will be bad and have urged the gov ernment to press for the maintenance of the open door in the Balkans. Turkey, a good customer of the cot ton mills, only places a duty of II per cent on all goods, while Bulgaria inn poses duties varying from 30 to 75 per cent. Besides Bulgaria already does a certain amount of cotton spin ming and manufacturing and will doubtless want to encourage the growth of it by further increasing the duty on imported goods.

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service.1
LAS VEGAS, N. NJ, June IA
Tommy Ryan told the newspaper men
here today that Fireman Jim Flynn
has got his weight down to 1875 and
that 1t now seems likely that he VIII
enter the ring with Jack Johnson July
weighing under 1870. He may get
down as low as 1856.
This pleases Ryan, according to the
statements of the Syracuse sage him
self. He insists that Flynn is normal
ly light heavyweight and that It
would be foolish for him to enter the
ring against such a powerful scrapper
as Johnson carrying about any super
fluous averdupois. He says he will
be satisfied if the Pueblan makes 185.
At training camp Johnson said to-
day that he expected to get down to
212 or 210 pounds for the fight, though
he admitted he would have to take
off a good deal of flesh to accomplish
this. When he weighed this morning,
the scales trembled at 222 pounds.
The big black says that he has mere
ly been playing UP to the present
time but that, beginning next Monday,
his real hard work will begin. Then
he expects to accomplish wonders
and to round into form rapidly.
The matter of a referee for the
battle has been thrown into the am
again by the action of johnson in re-
inserting in the list of eligibles the
names of Abe Pollock, of Denver, and
Billy Corcoran, of Pittsburgh. It is
said that Johnson is very favorable to
Pollock, the Denverite having officia-
ted at the Johnson-F Frank Childs battle
some years ago. When asked about
the referee matter today, Flynn said
that any OF the six men now on the
list of eligibles would be satisfactory
to him.
Governor Mcdonald will be here
this afternoon to look at the two biz
fighters. Incidentally, the chief execu
tive intends to see for himself just
what the conditions are here.

Ted Price is making himself solid
in the league as one of the two eff
fcient men that President Justice has
selected for his staff The Burlington
Gazette is the latest one he has con-
verified, as shown by the following:
Umpire Price, who is old enough to
vote, who can talk plainly, who knows
enough to keep ball game going and
who has few other requisites which
Burns, Brennan, ct al, lack, was in
the press box, seeing the first game he
had watched from a spectators point
of view for many moons. Being
prudent umpire he did not say any
thing about decisions, and in argu-
ments (nct with the scorers he up
held Mr. Justice-also a good quality.
If the opportunity afforded by the
Weaver wreck had been seized and
he had umpired, the game would have
undoubtedly been won by Burlington.
1t would not have been out of order

That a shakeup is imminent is ap-
parent from the signing of Wagner
and the fact that Pitcher West has

Wagner was secured from the Lincoln

in the light of valuable acquisition
by the Musky leader. He can play
in either the infield or outfield and
is a good stlcker. Alperman's place
