when coal was forming at the bottom
Of great Pennsylvania swamps and a
shallow sea rolled over what is now
the upper Mississippi valley. A dense,
fnegrade blue limestone was laid
down at the bottom Of this sea- This
limestone, hard and absolutely water
tight, forms the foundation into which
is keyed the great Keokuk dam.

VAS written perhaps 35,000,0o0 years
later. 1t was the beginning of the
glacial period, and the channel of the
Mississippi, while in the main, where
II is today, was much further to the
west between points just above Fort
Madison and just below Keokuk. The
old valley, like the valley of the river
at St Louis, was several miles wide,
and the rcck bottom of 1t was cover
ed deep with clay and sand. There
was no dam site there.
4 But in the course of the great ice
movement from the north, lobe or
point Of the glacier projected itself
over into the channel of the Missis.
'sippi It kept coming until not the
channel only was full, but the entire
alluvial vallev from blur t, bluff. A
vast lake formed above this ice dam,
which was piled so high that when the
lake finally overilowed the waters did
moi go back into the old channel. That
vas filed to the top OF the bluffs with

facilitating construction. Mr.. Coop
Ter was called upon to make plans
to wall across the channel of river
which, at its extreme lowest, sends
21,00O cubic feet OF water past Keo-
kuk every second, and whose high
water flow is dozen times that.
It would have been simple enough
to fence off half the width of the river
with cofferdam and build half the
permanent dam, but when it was COM
pleted there would have been raging
torrent that nothing could control the
rest of the way across. The engineer
finally worked out plan as unique as
was the problem to which it was ap-
piled.
Mr.. Cooper planned structure con-
sisting Of great piers eight feet thick
and thirty feet apart, connected above
by arches so as to form structure
resembling an old Roman aqueduct.
He planned to build his piers and
arches first and then fill in afterward
between the arches, the masses of
concrete forming the "spillway" of the
dam, and determining its height. So
he constructed cofferdam enclosing
few hundred feet of the site of the
dam and pumped the water out of it.
Then on the bare river bed he started
to build his piers and arches.
Great Arm Of Derrick
He had set of steel forms built,
enough for six or eight of the piers
and connecting arches. Here a great
travelling derrick was set up whose
great arm reached out $50 feet along
the length of the dam. and dropped
the concrete down into the hollow
steel forms. When 1t solidified work
men pulled the forms down, laid the
track for the crane and the concrete
cars over the newly completed arches,
ran the derrick out on them until it
once more projected over space, and,
having set up the steel forms again
poured them full second time. BY
this time that end Of the dry space
within the cofferdam was reached,
another section of cofferdam had been
built and pumped out The first sec
ton was then torn down, letting the
river run freely between the complet-
led piers under the arches. When all
the 119 arches are finished the thirty
foot concrete blocks which will con-
stitute the remainder OF the dam will
be built. These will be built In Ave
foot layers. a layer being complet-
ed clear across the dam before a
second layer Is begun. So all the
water which will have to be handled
at any one time in this finishing of
the work-the critical stage with 9TH
er dams-will be a depth Of five feet,
in section to thirty feet broad. The
mighty Mississippi will be raised so
gently to the dams smooth crest that
it will be unconscious Of the process
until 1t Is complete. P. w. B.

HAVE L FORFEITED MY
RIGHT?


Dear Miss Grey: A num-
Der of months ago, l met a
young man, and careless of
the future, we lived in a
town where he was a
stranger, and / was supposed
to be his wife. l soon found
out that the class of women
l had belonged to he de-
spised, and as I love him, L
led him to believe 1 had new
en- been a very bad girl, and
that L had made but one mis-
take, and in that was more
sinned against than SHINING.
Miss Grey, I had been as
bad as 1t is possible for a
woman to be for two years
previous to meeting him; and
my only excuse was youth, IL
that Is an excuse.
Now, this man is sorry,
and thinks he has greatly
wronged me. He loves me
and wants to marry me and
take me among his own
people. II 1 marry him with
out telling him, 1 fear he
will soon find out that +
have deceived him. Every
day 1 meet men on the street
that know my past, and al
though / have been true as
any woman can be to him, I
am afraid these people would
not hesitate to tell him.

think every woman who goes
out into the world to earn her
living, whether as an artist or a
business woman, wishes at times
that men would be more chary of
their compliments and more
ready to respect her opinions.
A very famous man has said:
Compliment a brainy woman
upon her beauty and a beauty
upon her brains" am quite
sure that most pretty women get
very tired of being told Of their
attractions.
IL you sincerely think a woman
looks well tell her so, but do not
tell her that she is attractive, or
fascinating, or beautiful just he
cause you think she would like to
hear 1t. The thing most women
like best in a man is sincerity,
and l sometimes think that sin
certify is the thing men like least
in a woman. Women like frank
ness in the other sex when it cuts
deep into their self-conceit. They
long so intensely to be treated as
equals that they are perfectly
willing to take the frank Bullets
of speech that one man gives to
another without holding rancor.
Personally a compliment upon my
work, upon my taste in dress or
the decoration of my home
means much more to me than a
pleasing eulogy of my physical
attractions. Although work
hard and think much of my per-
sonal appearance, as it is one of
the tools which / use in my art.

someone, tells me that l have in
terpreted a great emotion or

when you turn to retrace those

your right to home and mother

cannot grant forgiveness
until it is deserved. 1t is your

not for the sake of the man you

You need not give up the
