J1DWIN, FLOOD CONTROL CREATOR,
 RET7RES AS 4RMY ENGINEERS CHIEF

WASHINGTON, July 25.-T h e man who was given the job of mas tering mighty Old Man River re- tires August ' from the profession which brought him national ani international fame.
 He is. Maj. Gen. Edgar Jadwin, author of the Mississippi river flood control plan and one of the most outstanding engineers ever to serve in the United States army. He returns to private life with signal recognition-a promotion to the rank of lieutenant general.
 General Jadwin is the first army officer to be retired as lieutenant general since Gen. Nelson A. Miles, the noted Indian fighter And al- though his promotion resulted from distinguished service in construc- ton of the Panama Canal, history will record as his greatest feat the devising Of the Mississippi flood project.
 This has been an unsolved prob lem since the founding Of the na- ton. The disastrous flood of 1927 made it imperative that a plan be formulated to keep the high waters within the streams banks. Presi- dent Coolidge put the job squarely on General Jadwin's shoulders. The task was one of infinite de- tail It meant sitting information gathered over period of 43 years but after. hard fight the plan wa accepted by Congress in the spring of 1928. Work was begun shortly after to insure that no such catas. | trophic inundation as the one. ol 1927 ever should recur in the Mis- sissippi valley.
 So, although his varied career had included the supervision 0. many tremendous engineering feats General Jawins greatest accom-. plishmcnt remained to be achieved in the last two years of his service 1 A native of Honesdale, Pa, borr August 2, 1865, General Jadwin af i ter his graduation from gradi school worked in his fathers stort for four years He then attended Lafayette College for two years bu went to the military academy al West Point where he was graduated in 1890 at the head of his class.
 During the Spanish American wa he was in command of the Ameri. can troops at Matanzas, Cuba, or the occasion of the transfer of SOY. ereignty from Spain to the United States.
 In the World War General lad win was in charge of all the con. struction work of the army's service of supply in France.
 He handled important tasks 1T the building of the Panama Canal Among other important tasks h. directed were the enlargement O Ellis Island, New York Harbor, fol an immigration station; the build ing of the San Pedro breakwatel in California; the reconstruction O the Qualifications and jetties o Galveston, Tex, after the storm 0

Buying ORGY SENDS
WHEAT TONEW HIGH
LEVEL IN CHICAGO
Price Closes 43 Cents Above
That Of Six Weeks Ago;
Orouth Is Cause

Chicago. July 1S.-(P)-A feverish
orgy Of buying lifted wheat prices
nearly nine cents a bushel on the
Chicago board Of trade today and
values at the close rested at the high
mark Of the day, level 43 cents
above prevailing prices six weeks ago.
July contracts closed at $1.377s, Sep.
tember at $1.42A to ", and Decem-
bcr $1.47A to l.47h.
The rise. almost without precc.
dent, resulted from the continuation
Of drought conditions over the north
west grain belt. Dry weather has
caused extensive damage to the
spring wheat crop both in this country
and Canada, and todays weather
forecasts lent no hope for relief.
Saturdays brief market session had
seen the start Of the sensational bull
ish movement without advances
ranging around s cents from Fridays
closing prices. and today's further
advance Of u. to 8k cents bushel
made . gain Of more than 13 cents In
two days.
