STARR COMPANY
ISSUES BOOKLET
Tells of 1918 Flood and of
Precautions Against Rope
titiOn.

In commemoration of the flood OF
March, 1913, a booklet entitled AN
Appreciation" by Fred Gennett, sec.
rotary of the Starr Piano Co., was yes.
terday issued to every member of the
working force of the concern. The
booklet tells of the disastrous flood of
last March and is illustrated with pho
tographs describing the havoc of the
water.
In the description of the local flood
the booklet states that the White
water. ordinarily practically dry
stream, attained a~height. of approx.
lmately ninsteen feet on the night of
the foodinkof the lower rooms of the
factory. The damage done by the
raging waters to the plant that night
is illustrated in the pages of the issue.
10 prevent repetition of the disas-
ter. the Starr Piano concern has done
everything in it's power to mitigate
the danger of another flood A con
crete wall, more than 1900 feet in
length. and 25 feet high in places, has
been built
Not only has this wall been built
to keep the water from entering, but
a system has been established to rid
the premises of water that does, from
some reason or other, get past the
walls. A pumping system with a ca
pacity of 5000 gallons a minute has
been installed, which would seem to
make repetition of last years disas-
ter an impossibility.

lie schools, who has studied social con
ditions, declares that she has a plan
which is carried out now, eventually
will result in a solution to the divorce
evil. Her plan is almost identical
with that of a Cleveland teacher.
Il believe in beginning while a child

explanation. ''Untidy homes are many
times responsible for dissatisfied hus-
bands and if we teach the girls, start

the girls learn how to clean this
house, attend to having it re-papered.

let them take charge and see that it
is kept clean and tidy. I would let
the girls obtain estimates for the
painting and papers and every article
of furniture from gas stoves to drap-
cries and linen. Economy is the first
consideration.
