Washington, D. c., Dec. 49,
More than $4,000 miles, nearly SO
per cent of the main arteries Of
vehicular travel in the 36 states in
the snow belt, will be kept open and
free from snow during the present
winter, according to q statement is
Dded today by the national head
quarters of the American Automo.
bile Association.
Approximately $5,269, 900 will be
expended for this extensive pro-
gram and it will mean a saving of
millions Of dollars in economic
benefits to the snow states.
The national motoring body, It II
announced, will continue its efforts
to have all states in the snow belt
adopt q definite program for snow
removal not only in the interests Of
economy, but as q vital factor in
distributing food, maintaining social
communications and keeping the
schools in operation.
Mileage Increased
In the winter of 1926-27, a total
of 106,721 miles were cleared Of
snow, the A. A. A. says, and this
mileage will be increased 10 per
cent in the winter of 1929. The
estimated cost for the ensuing win
ter is based on q slight increase in
both mileage and cost over last
winter.
The A. A. A. estimates that every
500 spent in snow removal yields
$1,000 in more efficient Transports
ton and business continuity. On
the basis Of these figures the COM
munities which keep their streets
and highways clear this year will
reap an economic benefit in excess
Of $50, 100000.
"These figures demonstrate the
great value Of snow removal to
commerce alone" says the A. A. A.,
land when it is considered that IS
per cent of the nations population
or 90,o00,000 people are dependent
largely upon the open road, the
figures carry a vital significance"

~ ECRETARY HOOVER is peering over and
beyond the tragedy of Americas greatest
\ flood to an ever-enlarging vision of what
~ he believes will result from the DISASTER
a gigantic inland waterways system connect
ing the Gulf of Mexico with the Great Lakes
and the Atlantic Ocean
1t is not a vision which greets the eye
of the forward looking Secretary of Commerce.
1t is the rebirth of old one--one that mas
haunted Hoovers pensive moments in daytime
and that has remained with him during his
dreams at night.
A great national system of waterways. built
around the Mississippi and it's tributaries as
nucleus. long has been advocated by the Com,
merce head. He has preached it to transpor
tation interests from one end of the continent
to the other. 1t has been his one compelling
hobby.
Then came the dark clouds of the Mississippi
flood to blot out during the temporary emer-
gency the vision fixed in his memory Human
lives were in danger, millions of dollars of
property was imperiled. The power of water
asserting itself-out of control This was
time for dreaming. and Hoover plunged into
the grimness of the present with the same
dogged determination as had married his cam
paigning for the future.
Now that the stark realities of the catastro
phe are beginning 10 fade before the sunlight
of another day, Hoover glimpses the silver
lining of a new of prosperity. not only in
the Mississippi Valley. but throughout the
tire country. The old vision of manmas.
tered. dominated Mississippi system
of inland waterways is forging again to the
front.
Not long before the flood began its devasta.
ton Secretary Hoover said:
II visualize the Mississippi system as 5000
miles of connected waterways--a transporta-
ton system of which some 3,1O0 miles are
trunk lines and 5000 miles are laterals. That
is. a main north hsouth trunk line 500 miles
in length. reaching from New Orleans to Chi
cago and there connecting with the Great
Lakes system and crossing this great east.
west trunk line 1900 miles in length frem
above Pittsburg', through Cairo [, Kansas City
1T will serve the vast heart of American
agriculture an will place great commercial
and industrial cities with upward of seven
million people in the cheapest of communication
with one another nd it will contribute to the
cheaper transportation of agriculture and bulk
commodities over great hinterand of States"
That is a broad vision for a thoughtful man.
There are those who might have thought that
the Mississippi. by it's recent misconduct
had killed all chance Of having it fulfilled BY
it's unruy actions, the big river deliber.
ately wrought the utmost havoc with the one
section of it's channel already qualified to work
into the vast scheme of waterways conceived
by Hoover - the lower Mississippi from st.
Louis to New Orleans
In that section the mad river undermined
its foundations. crashed its levees and plunged
itself over countless acres of populated farm
land and into of cities, towns and vii

Flood Control and Transportation

l. We must have a larger, broader. more
definite national policy and better organization
in the development of all our water resources
for transportation, power flood control recla-
mation-vn order that may bring them In
as rapidly as the national need requires.
9 The Midwest is primarily interested in
the development of the Mississippi system, in
nav igation problems on the Great Lakes and
in the shipway from the lakes to the sea-a
a transportation system of IL 900 miles in
length Better distribution of population
lief from burdensome freight rates imposed by
the war; aid to agriculture and to industry
will result from the development of these re
sources in the heart Of the country.
g. The whole interior waterways system is
a problem of greater depth-a six nine foot
channel in all of rivers, stabilization of
the depths of the Great Lakes. deepening their
channels and the construction of the great
shipway.
T. unified connected system, with inter
connection of the great Mississippi system and
the lakes is essential Disconnected though
improved segments of no avail The whole
chain is only useful the weakest link
Hoover is looking forward to the time when
the Mississippi system, as he calls it, will be
blessed with rencarnaton of its one-time
maritime splendor. Before the days of the
railroad and automobile these waterways were
busy highways of trade. Romantic packet
boats, with their three-foot draft piled the
shallow channels of the big river and it's trib-
utaries and turned the Midwest into thriving
industrial center.
Then came the great railroads. to write fins

tory. Commerce the Mississippi waned.
In order to compete with the railways it
necessary to operate great barges, pushed by
steam tugs, but the varying depths of the
rivers channel have precluded successful com.

The task Is far from complete, however.
Hoover stresses the point that if America is
to have trains of steel barges instead of box
cars, the Government must not only deepen
the rivers but effect their interconnection. so
to the different seasons of the year, with their
varying products.

Secretary Hoover. who is something of
ongineer himself, says So Secretary of War
Davis and Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin. his
ylneering adviser say so. In fact, every
qualified to speak the subject agrees that
food con rol is no will-o the wisp but a per-
fectly feasible engineering problem if worked
out carefully and uniformly for the whole
river system.
In Hoovers own words
"rhs great catastrophe. by which a million
and half people have been brought into
jeopardy, is not all loss.
"It has served to educate the whole of the
people of the United States to great national
problem of eement; Importance to the prog
ress of our country and the prosperity of the
Mississippi Valley. That is. the necessity for
complete and whole control of the Mississippi
River.
81 believe the sentiment of the Nation today
is unanimous in that it should be taken in
hand in such fashion as to give complete as
surance that i'm the words of President Cool
idge, it will net happen again.
And it is national problem Not only does
the lower Mississippi serve as a trough to
carry off the flood waters Of 81 States, but in
the great flood plain of the Mississippi we pos
of the Nations great assets of 10000
900 acres of it's richest lands. BY proper action
we can reclaim to the Nation this great asset
for the creation of homes and prosperity. BY
sufficient food-control measures can render
this land as secure to life and production as
any other part of the United States. We
make it possible for the citizens of these States
to add hundreds of millions to the national
wealth and to maintain many millions of Amer
leans in future happiness and content
1t is not alone the citizens of these States
who would benefit from this increasing wealth
and production. Every farmer and every
worker and every citizen throughout the whole
of the Nation gains. 1t has been rightly put
that for every successful farmer another family
far distant is given livelihood through com.
merce, manufacture and transportation
How will the flood advance the Hoover
waterways plan?
1t will bring flood control to the Mississippi,
and flood control is fundamental prerequisite
to any waterways system according to Secre-
tary Hoover.
1t will serve, more than anything else has
been able to do, to focus the attention of the
Nation on its waterways and their possiblities.
No one now questions the potential might of
the Mississippi system. it's capabilities
when made to serve useful purpose

but differ as to methods of approach.
Lord Cecil remarks as follows con-
corning the three-power naval con-
ference, to which he was a delegate:
''The causes of failure may have

Animals That ROamed i'm California
100000 Years Ago Revealed by Bones

Bones that tell what kinds of ami.
mails roamed the valleys of California
a hundred thousand years ago. while
Eastern America was buried under
the great glacial ice sheet, have been
discovered in an asphalt bed in Car
pinteria, in the southern part of Santa
Barbara County. Sealed for ages
against decay in the germ-excluding
bitumen. they are only now being
brought to light and are finding their
way to the Santa Barbara Museum of
Natural History, where specialists
have been studying them.
The report of these scientists, which
will pe published in the next issue of
Science, tells a dramatic story i'll
which the actors were beasts and birds
now extinct, but resembling existing
forms and in some cases practically
duplicating them. They found bones
of deer, horses, rabbits and even of
skunks. Beasts of prey were repre-
santed by three species of the fox-wolf
group. There were Is species of birds,
including a kind of wild peacock, a
species of duck and pair of very
modern crows.
"F'or wheresoever the carcass is.
there will the eagles be gathered to-
gether" This text receives startling
illustration in the makeup OF the
group of birds whose bones were dis
covered in the asphalt pits. There
were 25 specimens of one kind of
eagle, Is of hawks and several of
owls. vultures and condor-like birds.
the latter was one giant. known
as Teratornis, which was at least as
large as the modern condors, the larg
est birds that fly.
