THEY MADE A FLOOD
 IN OHIO RIVER so
 BARGES COULD MOVE

How twelve thousand tons o1 ,oal were brought down the Ohio river last summer by a fleet ot 5arges which were floated on the crest of an artificial flood" is old in the November issue of Popu- ar Mechanics Magazine. Never be- ore in August had such an event taken place on the Ohio, and it hap oened only because one man stepped
 n to aid nature in the undertaking The Ohio river is always at extreme ow water around the month of Au- gust, and boats drawing more than q couple of feet of water normally Ire tied up.
 But the United States Army En- 5ineering Corps, wishing to demon 5trate the supreme value of the riv- ar as an artery of traffic in war time, stepped in with an illuminat- ing demonstration of what can be done even in the weeks of scant flow. Dams holding back pools along the Big Sandy, the Kanawha, md the upper Ohio river were op- ened a few weeks ago and surplus water was allowed to run out. An artificial crest of from three to six feet was formed and on the crest snubnosed argosies carried the fuel so urgently needed. Without the presence of the dams which the government has already completed this movement could not have been made
