COMPROMISE IN
FLOOD CONTROL
READY TO PASS
Give and Take Measure Is
Framed; Speedy Action
Is Forecast.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, March 23-Lead-
ers in Congress have worked out a
compromise Mississippi flood con-
troll program which, if finally
ratified, will bring the legislation
up within the next few days with
prospects of speedy action in both
House and Senate.
The tentative program, tine re-
suit of numerous conferences in the
last few weeks, provides:
Federal payment of all flood con-
troll costs on the lower Mississippi.
Administration of the flood con-
troll project by army engineers.
Investigation by army engineers
into demands that tributary streams
be included, with recommendation
later to Congress.
This program, to which it is
understood President Coolidge has
given his tacit approval, represents
compromises all along the line.
The agreement has not been
sealed and signed finally, but that
action confidently is expected. 1t is
expected to be noted officially in the
long awaited report Of the House
flood control committee, which
probably will be ready at the end OF
this week or the first of next, and
also by the Senate committee. in
making slight changes in its Senate
bill.

Mr.. Wicks' case is typical. He
had neglected his cold, hoping each
day it would "cure itself" Instead,
it got worse, spreading from his
nose passages down towards his
lungs. Fearing pneumonia then he
called the clinic, where doctors
gave him double doses of Ayers

mixture of wild cherry, terpin-
hydrate and other ingredients used
in treating even the most extreme
hospital cases.
