The Androscoggin has a large
amount Of storage now at the low
water mark which can absorb about
80 billion cubic feet of water. The,
water on the ground in the form Of
snow is about 1919 less than in 1922
and under normal conditions Of run
off serious results are hardly possible.
On the Penobscot. the East Branch
has only about 10 billion cubic feet
Of storage and can absorb only a
small portion of the run-off on that
area. The West Branch, however, is
very completely developed and can
absorb about SO billion cubic feet,
mostly in the Ripogenus and Twin
Lake systems. There is about 500
of snow, however, than in 1922 and
unusually high water is possible.
On the Kennebec, Moosehead Lake
is empty and will take up about %
million cubic feet. There appears to
be about 500 more water on the
basin than in 1922. With the Moose
head storage the flow at the East
Outlet should not exceed to 10
thousand cubic feet per second I'M
der normal conditions. and serious
results are not probable above the
mouth of Dead River. The flood
flows on the Kennebec ar, due large
~ to the run-off from Dead, Cara
bassett and Sandy Rivers which are
almost entirely without storage. With
the water now on the ground. or
about 90 thousand cubic feet per sec

two thirds of the Kcnnebec flow.

1901 it is estimated that about

Lack of Fire Fighting Force
 Causes Second Trip To Get Tower

checkers" as they expressed 1t. to get to their work, but the fact was plainly brought out, said the com missioner. that the fire department officials considered the tower neces- saryS or they would not have sent for it. and in sending had to take needed men away from the fire to go and get apparatus that should have been able to respond to the first alarm.
 q do not recall an instance" said MT. Cloe. since the days of the vol unteer fire brigades, when men of the department have been sent back to bring in additional apparatus. making a second trip to fire necessary. Alarms have brought other station crews to the scene of action, but I recall no case of neces- sity anywhere of first crew re- spending having to make a second trip.
 fit takes trained dexterity to handle the tower properly and this particular piece of apparatus should have it's own crew for just such emergencies"

 Those who wish to be informed can get a lot of information on a trip to the modern dairy plant of B. M. holcombe in Shades Valley at Waddell, just off the Montevallo road. But don't go and ask to have the milkmaid show you around, for you'll likely be told that them days are gone forever" Modern cows are milked by machine. Also in many ways modern cows have it pretty soft" and particularly these so odd head of pure Jersey cows at Hol- combes. They have a Delco lighting plant out there for the enlighten- ment of the cows and convenience of the hands" a drinking pool of pure city water, filtered. clear and spark ling, just like the water we have on our tables. No more germ laden, stagnant pond water for these dainty bovines.

Birmingham's need of 20 more men for the fire department was drastic ally illustrated Saturday morning, said Commissioner w. B. Cloe. when it was necessary for a number of the firemen, after making the run to the Swift and company fire on Morris avenue, to go back to the station to man and bring back to the scene of the fire the tower truck. There Were not enough men to bring 1t on the first response to the alarm.
 The tower enables the men fight ing a fire to play high pressure streams of water directly Into the upper windows of a burning build ing.
 Commissioner Cloe said he has re- peatedly asked for an adequate force for the fire department, but as yet has not succeeded In getting the nec- essary number of men.
 The commissioner said he did not wish to say that the presence of the tower would have made much differ ence in the handling of the fire Sat urday morning. for the street was so blocked by delivery trucks and other vehicles the firemen had to play

CLOCK MADE IN 1895 IS ON DISPLAY HERE
Florida Man In Birmingham For
 Lecture Has Valuable Curio

W. R. Quinton of Chipley, Fla. will address the Pretorians in Moose hall Tuesday evening at o'clock on "FraternaMsm."
 MT. Quinton has brought with him to Birmingham clock made in Eng land in 1895 and brought later to America by an ancestor of W. T. Paschal of Eubank, Ky. The clock is made of several sorts of wood and all it's mechanism. save one wheel, is made of wood. Despite it's age and material it is said to keep very good time.
 The face of the dial, enameed wood, is hand painted, the decora- tions being a number of Masonic em- blems. Two of the emblems shown, MT. Quinton stated Saturday, are un- known to modern Masons, for they have been examined by several Ma sons of the highest rank who say they are not aware of what they mean.
 The makers of the clock were evs- dently believers in soft materials for the hands of the clock are made of lead.
