MEASURES TO PROTECT
AGAINST RIVER FLOODS
Army Engineering Board Reports on
Investigation of Ohio Val
ley Disaster

Measures to protect against heavy flood
damages must vary with local conditions,
so that no general rule can be given, ac-
cording to the army engineering board,
whose report has been laid before Con-
gress. 1t was submitted by the War
Department The boards investigation
was made as result of the disastrous
Ohio valley food last year
Forestation and special methods of
plowing are not usually productive OF
practical profitable results; reservoirs,
both storage and impeding, may be used
advantageously in certain localities, the
report states. Moving structures and
bulky material out of the flood area will
afford prompt and certain relief.

Changes in Program.

Profiting by the experience Of last sun
day. when a portion of the eight or nine
hundred who enjoyed the walk could not
keep up with the pace of the veteran
hikers. Chief Wanderluster Boyle pro-
poses to recommend several changes in
the next excursion. Speaking OF these
proposed changes today. he said:
Instead of starting the mixers off at
from 20 to 100 in charge of one of the
will be formed with some idea oil the
travelling qualities of those involved
those wishing to go at four miles an hour
in one crowd. those wishing to go at
three miles an hour in another crowd.
They viii also be divided according To
their interests. those being particularly
fond of flowers going into certain groups,
while those who care most for the birds
will be placed in another group. So far
as is possible. a competent aid will be
provided for each of the groups.
Many letters full both of praise and
suggestions have been received by Chief
Wanderluster Boyle and many of the
other leaders. One writer, who failed to
sign his name, criticised the last trip
for being made at too rapid a pace and
for not giving the wanderlusters time to
stop or loiter among the flowers and trees
The announcement that next Sunday the
walk would be made more leisurely, the
writer says in conclusion. gives him re
newed hope of being in the future more
than a three-mile hiker"
