an elaborate system of flood diver
sion channels and strengthened levees

Compared with the Panama Canal
the cost of the rivers flood control
will be smaller The canal project
cost $346,000,O00, but the water
way across the narrow isthinuS ex-
tended only 40 miles. However, con-
greSS has precedent in the canal
construction to follow in its form
ulation of national flood control
plan.
The house flood control committee
has been holding hearings for nearly
two months, in an effort to gain en-
gineering information from civilians
to determine the feasibility of the
Army engineers plan.
Representative Frank Reid, repub-
lican, Illinois, chairman of the COM
nittee, declares that the testimony
of the scores of civilian engineers
and flood experts viii be "yard-
stick" to measure the Army pro-
gram.
While the army engineers program
deals solely with the lower Missis-
sippi river, it is expected to be the
genesis of the devising by congress
OF new governmental policy which
will result in the controlling of all
'rlavigable rivers floods by the fed
eral government.
The nationwide plan probably will
be put in operation after the army
engineers have completed an extern
sive survey of the Misslssippi's maih
tributaries and flood dangers in \, b
England, New York and on the COZ

JAZZ

STOCKHOLM R.-The blatant jazz
melodies of today are threatening the
native music of Sweden, says Baron
Marks Won Wurtemberg, former for
eign minister and president of the
Royal Academy of Music in Stockholm.
Speaking at the annual meeting of
the academy, he voiced the belief that
the musical culture of :. Sweden has
hardly progressed in the last decades
Instead of being generally played and
appreciated, the works of Swedish tone
masters of by-gone days are allowed
to be forgotten, he asserted.
The speaker particularly regretted
that the folk tunes of Sweden, which
formerly played so important role in
the music life of the country have
lost much of their interest to the pres
ent generation.

LATE. APPLE PACK FAVORED

WINCHESTER, Pa. R).-E S t e r n
apple growers who pack their product
late in the season obtain the best re-
suits in both common and cold stor-
age. Most producers allow their apples
to stay on the trees as long as they are
holding firmly or there is no danger of
freezing. The matured fruit does not
soften as rapidly as apples picked early
for storage, or packed and held in the
orchards.

Without detracting from the glory

And did Cap'n Slocum retire

He did not. Cap'n Slocum took

required after the work of sealing

The tremendous water pressure

may be observed by the condition
of the 12-inch-square hard-oak brac-
ings used inside the dam. In some
places many of them show the cross
bracing pressed in for approximately
2 inches, but the amount of bracing
is so great that there has been little
fear Of a collapse.
