SIMPLE METHOD IF
 MEASURING \ RIVER

The Geological Survey, Department ,of the Interior, receives many letters linquiring for some easy method of determining the approximate flow of streams or small rivers, where regu-
 lar river measuring instruments are not available. The method described
 below is considered useful under
 such conditions.
 l To ascertain the velocity of the stream choose a place where the !, channel is straight for 100 or if pos sible 200 feet and where it has a
 nearly constant wodth and depth and
 smooth current. Lay off on the
 bank the center 50 or 100 feet of the straight reach of the stream, mark ing each end. Then allow small chips to float down the stream, not ing the time required for these to traverse the distance laid off on the bank
 The surface velocity in feet per second is obtained by dividing the distance in feet passed over by the chips by the time in seconds it takes them to travel this distance. The average result of several such tests, made at different positions from bank to bank, will give the mean or average surface velocity of the stream. This result multiplied by tO.S gives very nearly the average or the entire flow of the stream. This lis the first step. To obtain the area of the cross section of the stream, stretch a tape | from shore to shore and take the depth of the stream at short inter- yals--2 or 5 feet. The average of
 these depths may be assumed as the
 average depth of the stream at this
 point. This average in feet multi
 piled by the total width in feet will give the area of the cross section Of l the stream in square feet.
 The volume of the discharge of the stream is now found by multiplying
 this cross section figure by the av-
 craze velocity, feet per second, as
 obtained by the chip measurements
 the result being the discharge in sec
 ond- feet, or, in other words, the
 number of cubic feet of water flow ing past the point of measurement each second.

CRACK TRAINS RACE
 ID CHICAGO SUBURB

CHICAGO, July 30. (P)-The Twen- tieth Century and the Broadway Linn tied, crack Chicago-New York passen- ger trains, run a race every day from their Chicago terminals to Whiting, Ind.
 The tracks of the New York Cen tral and the Pennsylvania railroads run parallel along that leg of the run, diverging at Whiting. At 12:4O p. m. the Century pulls out of the LaSane Street station and at exactly the same minute the Broadway Limited leaves the Union station, just across the river.
 "The passengers always watch the race, says c. A. Pinney, conductor on the Broadway Limited, "and there is much speculation among them on the winner. Honors are about even, with good many dead heats.'

 LOS ANGELES, July 30. P)-The latest ofrm of home for youngsters is "The Babies Hotel" It is the gift of Mrs. Allan Ratterree to the Los Ange- les chapter of the Natice Sons and Daughters.
 Accommodation are offered for So guests at a uniform rate of a dollar a day, American plan. But instead of the guests paying, the Native Daugh- ters are the paying hostesses for the guests and thus the institution is sup ported.

WLW, Cincinnati. station we haven't logged very often lately, came through as loud as if 1t had been with us every night for years. The Burnt Corkers presented flood fund program. providing entertain ment between the acknowledgement of donations.
 WABC,, New York, at II o'clock came through loud. in spite of the static which was beginning to rage. WABC is one of the loudest in the business. and we never have much trouble bringing 1t in. A flood pro- gram was being presented from that station also and the announcer gave a short talk, in which he told about the fund to which radio fans are asked to contribute. He asked for s1 from every listener. WBBC. Brooklyn, loud and clear. also of- fered flood fund program.
 Shortly after II o'clock VIC went over to WTIC, where B. A. Rolfe and his delightful dance combina- ton, from WEAF. offered half hour of music. One of the star num- bers was "Zululand." in which the various instruments initiated the animals of the jungle, from the lion right down to the hissing snakes. The accompaniment was well blend- ed with the solo parts. Somebody kicked over the mike, or the oper- ator yanked out the plug at the tele- phone exchange. or something. be- cause the music stopped suddenly. after which the reassuring. voice of the announcer at WTIC said. Stand by please" The music went on again after few seconds.
 VEAL, Baltimore, was very loud all evening. WADC. Akron. was an- other loud one, dance orchestra al- ternating with piano solos. CFRE. Toronto, the first Canadian station ill a lung tam, offered a MT. Reed, first name not mentioned. who sang Granny" by request.
 That's all for today. thanks!

Angry Mob Still
Hunts For Slayer
By United Press Leased Wire

LAKEPORT, Cal. Aug. 3.-AngeI
among residents of North Lake
county over the killing of Everett
Alley. rancher, by an unknown deer
hunter, had not subsidized today al
though an all night search for the
hunter by more than 800 armed men
had been unavailing.
Posses headed by Sheriff l.. o.
McKellv and District Attorney Ben
G. Jones, who claim the mob is still
making open threats to hang the
slayer, are racing through the Bart
lett mountain region in an attempt
to be the first to apprehend the man.
Members of the posse are eXamin-
ing every gun they find in the dis
trict and comparing it with marks
on the bullet which ended Alley S
life.
An erroneous report that Rudolph
Wolf, who was killed when his gun
accidentally was discharged in the
Horse mountain section, was also
slain by deer hunter, spread
through northern Lake county and
resulted in more men joining the
mob, the district attorney reported.

CONGRESSMAN TO
MAKE SURVEY OF
IMPERIAL VALLEY

Representatives Milton w. Shrevc
of Pennsylvania, W. Is. Oliver Of
Alabama and Anthony A. Griffin
Of New York are on congressional
tour of California and are scheduled
to arrive in Imperial Valley Satur-
day. The three congressman are
II embers of the House Appropriate
ions committee, which has
charge of department appropriat-
ions and the trip is being conducted
in order to give them an idea of the
manner in which the money appro-
priated for the various departments
is being used.
Assistant Secretary of Labor
Rube C. White is guiding the party.
Major Melvin Jones, chairman OF
the budget bureau, is accompanying
the congressman and Paul Malone,
secretary of the committee, is OUT
lining a complete report of the tour.
The congressman will be invited
to make a tour of inspection of the
Imperial Irrigation District holdings
when they visit the valley. Whether
or not thew will have time to make
this trip during their stay in the
valley is questionable at present As
their other duties are expected t"
take up the greater part of the time
allotted for the visit
Assistant Secretary White stated
that the Mexican immigration quest
ion. from the standpoint of appro-
priations for it's control, would be
a matter of especial interest to the
congressman. The border patrol in
California, for the prevention of un.
lawful smuggling of aliens and
liquors and its workings will be OBJ
served with particular interest, he
declared.
The party is at present in Los
Angeles and from there will proceed
to San Diego, then to Imperial Val
lev. The party after leaving here
will continue along the border to
the east, stopping at all important
ports Of entry enroute.

RIGID INSPECTION
OF DAIRY PLANTS
TO BE PROVIDED
Supervisors Instruct New
Ordinance to Be Drawn
For County.

More rigid inspection Of dairy
products produced in Imperial Val
ley was the most important business
taken up by the board of supervis
ors in its regular bimonthly session
which came to close last night.
While the matter was tabled until
the next meeting, which cOnvenes
on August Is, practically all points
were settled and the district attor-
ney was authorized to draw up an

ed, :" An ordinance to prevent the
manufacture and sale Of dairy prod
Cets made under unsanitary condi-
tions, was introduced. This amend,
ment would vest in the county

point special deputy to be known
as Dairy Inspector. This in
speetor is to make repeated inspec-
tions of all dairy products manufac
turing plants in the county to en-
force the sanitary rules governing
the running of these plants.
The board, however, in reaching
a decision on the matter decided to
withdraw the amendment and in
structed the district attorney to
draw up an ordinance to replace the
ordinance to which the amendment
was proposed and include in it the
provisions of the amendment. The
other ordinance will then be repeal.
