Proud Of History.
The Ohio Valley people are not only
proud of their great river as an artery
Of commerce and a thing of scenic
beauty, but because Of the peculiar and
important place 1t occupies in American
history. According to authorities in
this section, the first white man ever to
reach its banks was La Sale, the
Frenchman who explored the vast I'M
known interior of the continent between
the settlements of Quebec and the Mis-
sisSippi River.
The Iroquois Indians called the river
"Hohie," meaning the Beautiful River" "

NEW YORK, October 23.-Within the
last "a hours two powerful newspapers
have come out definitely for Norman

Scripps- Howard chain, came out fatty
for Thomas in a long editorial this

Eagle Leans Toward Him.
The World has been for Thomas only
inferentially, having opposed both La
Guardia and Walker.
Apart from this definite support, the
Brooklyn Eagle has been leaning to-
ward Thomas in its editorial columns
but has not supported him out-and-out
A day or so ago the Times reported
there was decided drift toward the
Thomas banner, and said the Tammany
district leaders who have had thetI
ears to the ground were well aware
of this tendency.
Aided by Students.

USE OF RESERVOIR
STUDIED BY GRANT
Proposal Is Made to Convert Six
teenth Street Site Into Ath.
letic Field.

While the District Commissioners
have not as yet turned over the old
Brightwood reservoir at Sixteenth and
Kennedy streets to the Office of Public
Buildings and Public Parks. its director,
Lieut.. Col U. S. Grant. Sd, had under
consideration various recreational prof.
ects to which 1t might be put.
Col. Grant said today that one pro-
posal to be examined will be that o.
turning the reservoir into an athletic
field, while another suggestion is to
have it made into swimming pool.
Yet another program under considera-
ton is that of tearing down one side
of the reservoir to admit light and air,
in conjunction with the development
of an athletic field.
The director said that consideration
is being given the suggestions of filling
part of the reservoir with one inch Of
water during freezing Winter, so that
it may be turned into a skating rink.
This would be more advantageous for
early skating than at the Lincoln
Memorial rejecting pool Col. Grant
pointed out, due to the fact that the
ice has to form thicker there before
skating is permitted.
