Hugh Water Not to
Recede This Winter

Memphis, Dec. 10.-Prediction of
Col. 5. c. Emery, weather forecaster,
that the Mississippi river at Mem
PMS would fall for only about FIVE
days brought forth the declaration
yesterday of river men that the river
probably will not recede materially
De1ore the summer of 1920. This.
they say, will be caused by the an
nual spring rise joining the present
hlgh stage and continuing it, if not
increasing it many times.
The spring rise usually begins in
January, sending the river past the
3O-foot stage. In 1913 it went to
44.5 feet. Colonel Emery yesterday
based his prediction as to the APP
preaching fall of the river on reports
from points upstream. Not only is
the rainfall general along the Ohio,
Missouri and Mississippi rivers, but
Ohio cities report rises from OIL OF
a foot to feet. This water should
reach Memphis in about a week.
The stage here yesterday morning
was 30.8 feet, with the river sta
tionary. Colonel Emery predicted
the fall would begin here inside of SO
hours.
The fall at Memphis before the
next rise arrives will not be rapid
enough to lower the stage more than
three or four feet, judging from the
rate of fall at st, Louis and Cairo
yesterday. While the approaching
rise will not be a dangerous one, it
nevertheless prevents the river from
falling as the annual spring rise ap-
proaches.
Much speculation is made over the
prospects for repetition of the de-
vastating flood of 1918. The river
has never before in history been so
high at this season as at present. The
month of November usually finds the
stage at it's lowest of the year. Last
month the stage reached the second
highest point this year.
River men state that nothing def
mite can be had on the volume of the
spring rise, which depends solely on
the snow which melts at the approach
of spring and the rainfall durinb the
winter.

SPLITTING OF BLOOD
SHOULD NOT SCARE

There is no need to become alarm
ed II one spits blood. 1t is not. as
so many think, a sure sign of con-
sumption, for the overwhelming ma
Jority of tuberculosis patients never
have this symptom, and the blood
may come from the larynx, pharynx.
teeth, stomach or even the small in.
testine.
DR.. II. Rabinowitsch of New York.
points out in the Medical Journal
that when we consider the great size
OF the arteries which enter the lung
and their minute ramifications on the
surface of the delicate air cells we
should not wonder if blood is some
times coughed up from the lungs. Sc
we're coughing or straining may easily
break small branch of one of these
arteries.
Dr. Rabinowitsch says the hemor-
rhage itself is of slight moment. If
it comes from aneurism, death is al
most instantaneous; if it comes from
a congested area and is limited, it is
In some ways beneficial by relieving
the congested area. 1t has another
good effect-making a recalcitrant
patient obey the doctors orders.
The treatment is directed to the
cause and not to the hemorrhage.
