population of about 100000, will be
protected by the system of reservoirs.
The property valuation OF the protect
ed district is estimated at $3.50, ,OOO, 900.
The fundamental idea Of the dry
reservoir plan is to impound the ex-
cess waters of flood and retard the
flow until the crest of the high water
has passed. From careful SURVEYS
and computations made by the engi-
neers 1t Is found that about $4,000
100000 cubic feet OF water fell over
the Miami basin above Dayton during
the five-day storm of March, 1918. A
system OF six or seven dams has been
planned with sufficient capacity to
hold back 40,0OO,00O,00O cubic feet
These dams will be built Of earth, will
be from 40 to 20 feet high, and will
be placed across the valley from hill to
hill In suitable locations. Reinforced
concrete tunnels, large enough to al
low the normal flow of the river to
pass through, will be placed through
the bottom Of each dam. These tun.
nels will be kept open at all times, and
when the water coming in from the
upstream side of the dam exceeds the
normal flow Of the river, the excess
will be held back BY the dam. When
the supply is reduced the reservoir
will empty automatically. To prevent
the destruction Of the dams in case of
unprecedented floods, each will be pro-
vided with spillway to relieve the
dam Of some of the surplus. The car
rying capacity OF the river channel is
estimated at 8,000,O00,000 cubic feet
per day, SO that the system will afford
ample protection during heavier
storm than last year. An expert has
estimated that approximately 280,000.-
100000 cubic feet OF water, OF enough
TO have raised Lake Erie with its TO-.
00O-square-mile area a height OF 4 feet,
fell In Ohio and Indiana during this

Scheme Showing Four or Five Like

New York.-The scheme Of show
Ing in photograph four or five like
nesses of one individual has always
proved an attractive one because of
certain air of mystery surrounding
1t. To the average person it is quite
mystifying how the different poses can
be secured of the same individual
all on one plate. The attached sketch
shows how this may be effected.
There are two special mirrors with
frames only on three sides, each five
feet high and three. feet wide, placed at
an angle of about 75 degrees, the angle
being formed by the edges of the glass
alone.
The subject sits at table, with his
back to the camera, facing the right
angle formed by the mirrors. The cam

PORT WINE MADE IN LONDON
Spurious Article Is From Raisins and
currants, Not Portuguese
Grapes.

London.-All is not port wine that is
80 labeled. A reporter was in.
formed that large quantity OF
spurious vino Is made in London
and designated port" although Meth,
or. It nor eny of it's ingredients has
ever been near Portugal. The tech.
nical description of port wine, as given
by an expert, is as follows:
"The words port or port wine when
used by themselves denote fortified
wine of a particular type and having
particular chsracterlstics as to sweet.
ness, color and bouquet, made from.
fresh grapes grown in Portugal and
shipped from Oporto."
y This description does not apply to o
large quantity of the so.called port"
wines sold in London. AS matter OF
fact the cheap ports" are nearly al
made in London. The manufacturers
make i wine quite openly and tbeiI
faotdl0S are subject to the inspection
of esEyte officials, but as they make II
from dried currants or raisfns and use
in the manufacture certain amount
OF real port wine they avoid the pay
ment OF import duties.

Not the least important feature Of

TAXI RIDER SENTENCED
Man Who Refused to Pay Chauffeur
Gets Five Days.

A young man from Amber, Pa, who
started out in a taxicab to meet three
friends at Chestnut Hill, and who had
but 1904 to meet expenses, came to grief
today when he was arrested at Broad
street and Allegheny avenue for refusal
to pay for the ride. Arraigned before
Magistrate Emely, in the Park and Le-
high avenues police station, he was sent
to prison for five days. He also paid the
chauffeur for the ride.
The prisoner, John Meehan, called a
cab at 18th and Market streets. and told
the chauffeur, Edward Raney, $50 North
18th street. that he wanted to be taken
to a hotel in Chestnut Hill.
When the taxi reached Broad street and
Erie avenue. the taxi driver spoke of
money, and Meehan became indignant
Raney turned, and started the machine
down Broad street. AS the taxicab
neared Allegheny avenue the driver
slackened speed to allow q cross-town
car to pass. Meehan quietly opened the
door of the cab and stepped to the street
Policeman Sickenger, of the Park and
Lehigh avenues station, saw the man
jump from the taxi, and placed him under
arrest.

BEFORE THE SANDMAN COMES

very conscientious man and very
strict with his children.
His rule was that every child must
be in the house when the curfew rang
at dusk.
No one broke the rule until young
David was about nine years old.
Then one day he was away from
home playing so happily that he for
got all about the curfew till it rang
out in the twilight.
He stopped his play at once and
rang home as fast as he could, but
he was too late.
His father had come home and all
the doors were shut and barred for
the night.
Instead of crying or pounding on
the door, he accepted his punishment
like the manly boy he was
Pulling from his pocket a crust of
bread left from his school luncheon,
he ate it slowly then he stretched
himself out on the cold doorstone and
went TO sleep.
Many times through the night his
mother watched him to see that he
slept safely but she did not speak to
him for she wanted him to learn to
be brave and self-reliant as we'll as
obedient.
In after years he told some friends
that that night was one of the most
wonderful OF his life, for in it he
learned to make the best of whatever
happened.
And all because of curfew bell.

UTHEN you hear the curfew ring
w in the evening does it ever
make you think of the old,


make you think of the old,
old fashioned curfew laws?
Do you realize that the curfew bell
stands for the law and order of things
long ago-so long ago that it is
almost forgotten?
Hundreds OF years ago every city
was surrounded by a wall and the
curfew was rung to let the people
know the time of closing the gates.
Then the people would drop their
work, shut their stores, come in from
the fields and make ready for ths
night.
In other places the curfew rang
earlier, some time before sundown, to
let the shepherds in the fields know it
was time to shut up the floeks for the
night
Then the curfew rang sometimes
for an evening service, perhaps in
big cathedral-perhaps only in a mis-
sion church, but always the bell rang
for few people had clocks or watches
to go by
But always the bell rang to tell the
people that night was approaching
and they should be ready for rest.
The good English fathers and
mothers would listen for the curfew
and when il rang, would lock their
doors and windows for the night
All the children must be in then If
they wished to get in at all

I'VE are proud of England because she

IF the women of England had had the
vote, would they have attempted to keep
their country out of the war?" she was
asked.
Decidedly not" the militant leader
responded. "Englands honor was in
volved, and when the neutrality of Bel
gium was violated Great Britain would
have been just as quick to protect Bel
gium, under her guaranty, with women
taking an active part in the affairs of
the Government.

as advanced in that country as It is in
England. We think we are better off
than the women of. the 'Fatherland, even
If we don't think we have enough, and
Il Germany wins 1t would set all women
back.
I'VE believe that our chances of get
ting the vote in England will be much
better after the war than now. At pres
ent we have stopped our militant work;
that Is not a concession to the Govern
ment with which we are at war, but to
