ON the channels of the streams drain

disaster at Dayton illustrates the
point. The rain fell in torrents. and
with no u~nobstructed channel to the

the river banks. The rainstorm. l

carry the flood more swiftly to the

would back angrier than ever into
what would quickly be great lakes.

stream for the disposal Of xces wa
tiers was to reservoir first the greatest
offender among rivers-the Ohio-and
its tributaries. including the Miami.
The government engineers refused
to approve the reservoir trial project
on the ground the federal government
is constitptionally prohibited from in
terfering in matters affecting only u
state or locality.
But this Is met with the contention
that n local flood in a stream tributary
to n larger one becomes an interstate
affair. and the common experiences Of
Louisville. Cincinnati. Evansville and
Pittsburgh on the Ohio and st. Louis.
Memphis and New Orleans on the Mis-
sissippi are cited in r%efutation.
Even ardent state rights men are
waving the point of constitutionality
involved in the matter because of the
opportunity they believe they see to
prevent future calamities such as have
overwhelmed American cities in the
past.

voirs Is TO make them so huge in ca

Approval of the great project was

DEFORESTATioN MENACE
Ii seems to be generally conceded
that denuded forests are partly re
sponsible for floods and that reforesta-
ton will go IA great way toward modi-
flying cloudbursts and freshets. The
violence of floods may be attributed
in part TO encroachments on the
banks of rivers and possibly to depos-
its of silt. But the s~uddenness. which
is such Il striking feature of recent
floods. is probably due to the failure
of the bare ground to absorb the ex-
cess water as the forest formerly did.
Ii has been pointed out that this argu-
ment is borne out by the devastating
visitations in the Mississippi bottoms.
which of late years have become more
and more destructive.
No doubt there were spring freshets
along the Ohio and Mississippi rivers
and their tributaries in the early his
tory of the country. but the big floods
there have been traced back only to
the time when the wholesale destruc-
ton of the forests began. Before that
the forests had served as natural res
ervoirs. checking the force of the
freshets and washing down the silt
which subsequently has raised river
beds. This situation suggests as rem
edies reforestation as we'll as the
dredging of rivers and the building of
reservoirs.

UNAVOIDABLE DISASTER?

Engineers assert that foods can be
prevented in a general sense. and as
proof of the statement point to what
has been accomplished abroad by
mean of storage reservoirs built for
the purpose. They do not say, how
ever, that any human agency could
have prevented such disasters AZ the
disasters in Ohio and Indiana. Chief
photographer Leighton expressed his
conviction that the calamity referred
TO could not have been averted and
that il is doubtful if IN. adequate
remedy is possible against the reeur-
renee of such a catastrophe. ''The
Ohio food" said Mr.. Leighton. twas
one of those things that could not have
been averted any more than the San
Francisco earthquake. II was simply
n deluge of water of unprecedented
proportions. and no reservoir system
ever contemplated in that region could
have afforded protection against 1t. 1t
was a waterfall that exceeded all
known records. Such deluges come
once in 100 or 200 years.
Several years ago Mr.: Leighton
worked out n plan for storage reser-
voirS Mt the head waters of the rivers
in the Ohio basin. designed to con
troll floods. The idea received much at
tention from engineers. and the Pitts
burgh authorities seeking 10 devise
some method for preventing disastrous
floods in that district gave it their ap-
proval.
But the plan with respect to stor-
z reservoirs which | worked out
said Mr.. Leighton. was not designed
to deal with a situation like that in
Ohio. Ii was intended TO deal with
ordinary foods. not with such a del
uge as that"
