cleanup day in Michigan. and calling
upon health officers. municipal author
tiles and the people generally to CO.
operate on that date in improving the
conditions Of health. This is a new
departure in Michigan, but in the west,
notably in Seattle, Portland and other
places a general cleanup day is an
annual event. Michigan communities
are cleaned up each spring Of aceumu-
lated winter debris. but in some OF
them the people wait too long or are
not thorough enough in the cleaning
hence the value Of a special day set
apart for that purpose and interesting
everybody in the Importance Of good
cleaning up of premises. The public,
Of course. is not expected to leave this
important duty until May fifteenth
for the sooner the needed cleanup
can be accomplished the better ii will
be for the public health. The COVER
nor's idea. we take il, is TO finish up.
On that particular date all cleaning
not previously done and make the job
thorough. The News hopes village
and township officials and residents
generally will aid this movement and
that the schools will. as suggested, de-
vote some attention 10 health sub
jects on that day If this cooperation
is given more healthful surroundings
and a greater appreciation Of the val

ARE FLOODS INcReAsINe7

The present disastrous floods Of the
Mississippi River and the inundation
OF the surrounding lowlands through
the breaking Of the levees suggest the
inquiry: Are floods increasing in the
United States? Present conditions are
admittedly most unusual. floods OF both
the Ohio and Missouri Rivers swelling
the already heavy flow Of the Missis-
sippi itself and this has created what
will probably pass down in history as
the worst flood of the Mississippi since
the settlement Of the country.
Precipitation--either snow or rain
must ultimately take two courses,
either along the surface Of the ground
directly into ater-courses or into the
ground by percolatlon. with subsequent
discharge into the rivers by seepage.
The water which causes Hoods is that
part Of the precipitation which is not
absorbed into the ground and which
therefore must flow along the earths
surface.
According to NJ. o. Leighton chief
photographer Of the United States
Geological Survey. there are five
classes Of agencies or conditions affect
ing the flow Of streams. The first is
climate, under which are comprised
rainfall. evaporation. temperature.
wind and humidity. Although these
are exceedingly variable from day to
day and from season to season. the
observations that have been recorded
Indicate that a period Of years en-
braces all conditions so that the mean
of them may be considered fairly con-
slant There is very little evidence
except in special areas, that reveals
any progressive and permanent change
in climatic conditions. The second
agency is topography, and the third
geology. both of which may be con
sidered absolutely stable. The fourth
is surface vegetation. which includes
forest cover and cultivated land. The
fifth consists Of artificial agencies, such
as storage reservoirs and drainage. |
which produce rapid and marked ef-
fects on river discharge.
when the physical conditions on /
the drainage areas are summed up. the I
one great change that has been pro-
duced in the vegetative conditions is
the reduction Of forest area. on some |
Of these drainage areas it has occurred
by slow progression and ON others
more rapidly. il is certain that in
some areas this forest cutting has
caused barren conditions because the
land was Of such a character that after
IL was relieved Of forest protection It
eroded easily and its productive por
lions were quickly swept into water
courses.
Summary, therefore, II may be
stated with confidence that the in
crease in flood tendency shown so UNI
mistakably is due in by far the largest
measure TO the dcnudation a forest
areas"

IDEAL SWIMMING TANK IS NOW READY Orpheum Crew Has Altered the Stage for Champion
 Woman Diver

Practically the entire stage at the or pheum had to be made over for Ideal 5 act this week. and the crew at the or days getting ready for this sensational feature
 The entire flooring of the stage had to be taken up and the ground underneath exeavated sufficiently to allow the tank to be put inside. This tank is 15la by 1Ols feet and seven feet deep, and the hole had to be considerably larger so that some idea of the work necessary can be im- agined.
 Crews of men have been working night and day making the changes. All night Thursday, Friday and Saturday men were busy as bees getting ready, and in the day time another gang relieved them.
 A false floor had to be built to go over the trap opening, and on this false floor tho other actors will perform their stunts this week. The flooring is raised in order to allow Ideal to perform her act
 The tank used by Ideal holds 32,00O gal Ions of water and 1t requires several hours to fill it. using a fire engine hose.
 Great mirrors are placed all round the top of the tank so that they reflect the every movement of the swimmer to the audience, and every person in the theatre can see with equal ease. A great spot light is placed in the fly gallery over the tank and thls Eliminates the wnter bril- lantly. Another spot light plays on the swimmer from the rear of the theatre, so that the tank is brilliantly lighted at all times.
 Ideal is said to be the most perfectly formed woman in the world and she cre- ates a sensation dressed in a suit of red swimming tights. Like red flash she dives from the springboard into the tank, performing all kinds of wonderful feats in doing so. She dives some 70 times at each performance and in addition per- forms stunts in fancy swimming.
 The changes being made at the Orpneum will cost the management fully s200, or more than the salary paid many vaude- vile acts. Tn addition Ideal is paid be- tween s759 and s10OO per week, making this the most expensive vaudeville act that has ever been brought to Birmingham Man ager Semon states that the act has Gre ated more talk in Atlanta than any act that the Forsyth theatre has had in months.

Evans. witness for the defense in the trial of Rev. J. Frank Norris. local minister, accused Of perjury. Counsel for Dr. Norris is en- deavoring to show that q strong preju- dice existed against the defendant.
 Evans testified that he called Reeves attention to the fact that his statement was strong" Reeves. the witness said, replied that he was worth half a million and that he would be foolish if he could not prove it."
 Reeves also denounced the minister as "a liar perjurer and thief" the witness testified, and explained that he referred to a piece of paper sold him by Norris and secured by Dallas real estate.
