PLAN TO CONTROL
DUCK CREEK FLOOD

Strengthening the Duck creek
channel to prevent overflow of the
low lands and to increase the value
of property at an expenditure of
$4,000, the net cost of which to
the city OF Davenport will be about
$4,000, is the plan of City Engineer
Roscoe Earle, which was submitted
to the city council last night.
OF the $4,000, at least $1,000
will be used for the purchase of
necessary land, and $4,000 will be
required for excavation.
Against this, the engineer sub
mits that the Strengthening of the
channel will obviate the necessity
OF constructing four bridges at a
cost of $4,000 each, and he states
that property may be assessed
$4,000 for benefits because of the
elimination of flood danger.

A new DAY FOR WOMEN
Invention of Electricity Has Revolu-
tionized the Kitchen.


French Lick, Ind, Sept. "a
complete revolution of facilities for
doing work in the home is being de-
manded now by women. John F. Gil
christ, vice president of the Common
wealth Edison company, told the
Great Lakes section of the National
Electric Light association in session
here today.
when women start after anything
they usually get IT," he said They
have been obtaining information as
to the convenences and labor savers
their husbands enjoy and now the de-
mand is for similar innovations in the
home.
1.-The kitchen of today is vast i'm
provement over that of ten years ago
but ten years from now the change
will be revolutionary. Countless APP
pl ances must be invented and per-
fected by man. If he doesn't woman's
ingenuity will discover them.
While e -ectricity as a lighting me-
dunn revolutionized home life, the ad-
vent of electric power into the home
on a large scale will work even great
er benefits. 1t means longer-lived
and happier women. better children
thru the ability of mothers to shorten
work hours and pay more attention
to them and the general elevation OF
womankind thru her ability to have
time to pay more attention to her own
physical and mental improvements.
