TO RECLAIM Land
Holland Plans to Drain Part of
the Zuyder Zee.

The wonderful little country of Hol-
land Is maintained as a safe place for
human habitation by means Of huge
pumping stations and miles upon miles
of dykes Were 1t not for the dykes,
the result of years UPON years or
building, the sea would sweep over
the land. If you should take ride
in a motorboat around the coast, and
peep over the dyke, you would dis
cover the roofs of farm buildings just
level with your eyes
AT the seaside resorts the only hill
in the place is the hill you must climb
in order to get to the waters edge.
The hill was built by human hands
in the age-old fight against the inces-
SAINT and tireless assaults of the ocean.
Until about so years ago the Dutch
depended entirely upon windmills to
pump the water to the canals which
carry off the surplus water, so that
the farm lands may not be submerged.
Then steam pumps came into general
use, and the quaint but cumbersome
windmills were pulled down. During
the war, it looked for while as
though the Hollanders would have TO
rebuild their windmills on account Of
the acute coal shortage.
However, looking upon the other
side of the picture, the Dutch enjoy
advantages not possessed by other
countries. BY means of dykes and
pumps they may enlarge their do
mains at will Today cattle are graz
ing over wide areas, where 80 years
ago fishes were swimming
A much larger scheme still Is now
on foot which will add to Holland
whole large country consisting of farm
ing land as rich as the richest pOr.
ton Of many of our states. The whole
of the southern part Of the Zuyder Zee
Is to be reclaimed. after being TOO
years under the water.
For the redemption of this particu-
lar area Is in the nature of a coun-
ter-offensive by the Dutch. On st.
Elizabeth's day in 1928 their he
Ieditary enemy, the North sea, made
big and successful push. Advanc-
ing In huge tidal wave, 1t swept over
$50 square miles of low-lying farm
lands, and formed what has since been
the southern part of the Zuyder Zee.
Many villages vanished beneath the
water and 10000 people lost their lives.
The plan now is to recover all this
land, and besides the economic gain,
Economically minded people look for

ancient boards engulfed with their
owners on that wild night when the
North sea raced over the land.
Some, however, foretell disastrous
results from tampering with natures
dispensations. The Zuyder Zee, thes
say, forms a great drainage basin for
the whole of northern Holland; II 1t
is suppressed the water that would
have flowed off there in time of flood
may cause foundations. The question
is a serious one, for in Holland even
great rivers flow to the sea only by
artificial aid.

that dread malady, tuberculosis.
Mrs. A. o. DeWitte, president of the
Missouri auxiliary, led in the move
ment which resulted in the paroles.
And she and her aides also obtained
the promise of Gov. Arthur M. Hyde
that several more former service men
who seem to be mentally afflicted, or
i'll of tuberculosis, will be sent to gov
eminent hospitals for treatment.
"The men we have observed entered
into the crime, not because it is clear
Of criminal instincts or desires, but
because they were mentally irrespon-
sible, or in some cases respondent and
sick, with no hope seemingly, because
the dread white plague handicapped
them in their efforts to compete sue
cessfully with normal men in honest
employment" Mrs DeWitte told the
governor.
On the success of Mrs. DeWitte's
and the auxiliary's efforts to reclaim
their proteges for society depends q
national policy, it Is said, for the aux
Hilary to adopt. The seven paroled
men will report weekly as to their
progress toward rehabilitation, and
will be watched closely by the women
who have saved them from prison. 1t
