 So fast did Pan-ku grow that he added six feet to his stature every day for 1S,oo0 years. With an axe he managed to hew out the universe. but in order to complete his work he had to die.
 His head, according to the myth, became the mountains. his breath the winds and clouds. his voice the thunder, his limbs the four quarters of the earth, his blood the rivers. his flesh the soil, his beard the con- stehations, his skin and hair the herbs and trees, His teeth, bone and marrow became the metals, rocks and precious stones, his sweat the rain. and the insects creeping over his body became human be- ings."

"levees only" which has been the sole means of keeping the flood wa- ters in the river channel. \ new device will be used in building . number of diversion channels to carry off excess water direct from the main channel of the Mississippi and its principal tributaries into the Gulf of Mexico.
 Of the four diversion channels, two-the Boeuf Basin floodway from the Arkansas river through Arkansas and Louisiana into the Red river, and the Atchafalaya Ba- sin tloodway from the Red river to the Gulf of Mexico in Louisiana will involve the building of an arti- ficial river 300 miles long. parallel ing the Mississippi. The other di- version channels are the Birds Point-New Madrid, Missouri, river bank floodway, where the levees would be set back from their pres cit location for an average distance Of five miles along 7e-mile stretch, and the Bonnet Carre spillway north of New Orleans to take the flood waters direct from the. Mississippi through Lake Pontchartrain and Lake Borsne into the Gulf.
 The tloodways and spillways. how ever, will not be called into use ex- copt in time of excessive floods and the high waters be diverted by building "fuze-plug' levees across their mouths. The "fuze- plug leNces are mbankments lower than the usual lcNccs so that flood waters will oVertop them first and release the pressure against the other levees by flowing into the diversion chan ncls.

at the extra session rather than the

argument is being made that if the
farm group really wants legislation it
should have 1t without the slightest de-

There is,' OF course, concensus that

can ,be passed and that Federal farm
board can be set up to make start on
the agricultural surplus problem. The
conservatives from the East who are
ready to vote for some kind of legiSla-

publicans now face an acid test. Do
they want legislation or do they want
further delay? II the need is acute.
then, 1t is contended, no time should
be lost in passing bill at this session
so as to be able to handle the next crop.
With farm legislation out of the way,
the demand for an extra session would
not cease entirely and that's why the
suggestion is being made in the cloak

be reached to ask the new Chief Ex-
