CONTROL Of FLOODS
URGED, BY DIVERSION
OF MISSOURI RIVER
North Dakota Association for
Linking Stream and Devils
Lake Hears Leader

jamestown. N. D., May 9.-Pe
Preliminary steps leading up to the
present status Of the Missouri river
diversion movement were outlined at
a meeting Of North Dakotans inter-
ested in the project by S. w. Thomp-
son, Minneapolis, formerly Of Devils
Lake and president of the Missouri
River Diversion association.
Beginning with the fixed idea that
development Of its water resources is
essential to successful agriculture and
the development Of its cities, Thomp-
son said advocates Of the plan OBJ
tanned an appropriation of $25, O00
from the state legislature in 1925 and
an additional $4,000 at the 1927
session. These amounts were matched
by the federal government and the
money used largely in the making by
the U. s. Geological survey of a topo-
graphical map.
The Missouri River Diversion asso-
citation was organized in Devils Lake
in 1924 and since then has spread to
include a large part Of central North
Dakota, Thompson said. Its object
was to disseminate information rel
alive to the merits Of the project and
to foster legislation, both state and
federal, which would end to make
it q reality.
Five Benefits Claimed
Benefits to be obtained from the
project, Thompson said, are an ade-
quate domestic water supply for cities
in the Devils Lake area and the
Sheyenne and James river valleys,
water for irrigation purposes, promo
ton of Missouri river navigation,
flood control and the development Of
recreational centers.
The movement developed national

significance and attention, Thompson
asserted, when it was presented at
the Chicago flood water conference
after the disastrous Mississippi flood
OF 1927. It also was presented off,
cially to the national convention Of
the Izaak Walton League of America
at Omaha, in 1928. A resolution
adopted there urged the conservation
Of inland waters.
Continuing the campaign, Thomp-
son said, North Dakota was repre-
sented before the flood control COM
mittee in congress prior to the pas
sage Of the flood control bill and urged
federal legislation looking toward
water conservation rather than mere
flood control.
1t vas pointed out at that hearing, he
said, that during the Mississippi flood
the stream carried $500, 900 second feet
of water at New Orleans and at the
same time the Missouri river at Bis
marck carried 100000 second feet. A
dam at Stanton, N. D., he said, would
have held back virtually the entire
flow Of the Missouri and thus would
have contributed Z per cent to flood
control.
Is in Group Of Projects
Six other similar projects on other
Mississippi tributaries, the speaker
said, would control half the water and
make another similar Mississippi flood
impossible. The cost, he asserted,
would be less than that spent for
bikes and levees and, in addition
would give the 81 states comprising
the Mississippi valley not only flood
control but adequate water supply,
navigation, irrigation, water power
and recreational centers.
The last step in the organization
program, Thompson said, was the
creation at the 1929 session Of the
North Dakota legislature of the Mis-
souri, River Diversion commission,
consisting of three members appoint
ed by the governor, with the COVER
nor and the state engineer as addi-
tional ex-officio members. The pur-
pose Of this commission, Thompson
said, Is to work with other organiza-
tons and association in the state and
in the United States who favor the
reservoir system of flood control and
who believe in water conservation.

ATTACHMENT WRIT
 HOLDS UP FLIGHT
Montreal to Croydon Hop Meets
 With New Difficulties

Montreal, Sept. LP)-A writ Of attachment stood today as a barrier to the proposed flight of Captain Errol Boyd from Montreal to Croy- don, England, in the transatlantic plane Columbia.
 The attachment was obtained py Roger o. Williams, New York avi- ator, who charges that Charles A. Levine, owner of the Columbia, owes him sS01 for flying the plane here from New York The suit IS directed against the Columbia Air lines, Inc, and Levine.
 John O'Brien, packer of Boyd's flight, said they were willing to post bonds if necessary to release the plane He saiG none of the persons associated with the proposed Boyd flight were responsible in the mat ter as the plane had been loaned by Levine who nov is in Europe.
 Another plane belonging to Levine at the St. Hubert airport where the Columbia is housed also was attach ed.
 The Croydon flight was originally scheduled to start Monday but was delayed by adverse weather. Then the legal entanglement arose.
 Boyd announced that Lieutenant Harry Connor had been added to the crew as navigator. Connor, Boyd and Williams made a nonstop flight from New York to Bermuda this summer in the Columbia.

lost nothing of the pessimism that had dwelt with him for several weeks past.
 He and Johnny were tired after their golf game, and Johnny left them not long afterward. Back in the apartment once more, Paul sat down to his typewriter to hammer out his column and Dan picked up a book with feeling of relief that, his own manuscript finished, there was no need of his working this evening.
 But he yawned over his book after a while, so he went to bed, and Paul shortly followed; and past midnight the insistent ringing Of the telephone brought him sit ting up in bed with a jerk. He heard Paul stir in the next room, but he called out: "I'll get it." and switched on the lights.
 It was Anne again. She said, in a voice that was half frantic with fear: "Oh, Dan, we're in trouble. It's Eva. Can you come right away?'

 And Paul said again You're crazy. I don't argue with a man that's lost his reason"
 Paul was clear-sighted and wise enough to know that Rorimer had other things on his mind that he was saying nothing about, and Anne Winter was one of them. Trying to put himself in Dams place, he reasoned that it would be rather disheartening to be in love with a girl whose progress was not matched by his own. Anne was going ahead fast now; unless the unexpected happened she would be getting some pretty important roles very soon. And Anne had started from scratch. Some day she might even be a star; it all depended now on the breaks" she got and how the public liked her.
 Sitting beside Dan as they drove to town: Paul remembered the day that Dan had show him the letter from Ziggy Young, directing him to look up an obscure extra girl named Anne Winter. and be nice to her. And he remembered how Dan had fumed-until he met her.
 Well, Dan had been nice to her, all right -too nice, perhaps, if be- ing nice was responsible for Dams present frame of mind. In Golfers philosophy no girl was worth all that trouble.
 They were on Hollywood Boule- yard now. Your old home" Paul said, motioning toward the Roose- welt.
 Yep" Dan said.
 How about that idea of mine? Are you going to call up Anne and ask her to the opening?'
 I'm thinking about it.
 Paul said, Just out of curiosity, seen her? I used to keep pretty c!ose track of you, but since you've chained yourself to that typewriter O. yours "
 Dan said it was two or three weeks. She's pretty busy; work ing nights some, too"
 Well, give the girl a break and take her out. You can't expect her to work all the time"
 Dan thought: I'll quit bother ing her. I won't even call her up. If she wants to see me she can call me-
 Anne tslephoned him that eve ming. '''''

 Are you still in Hollywood, Dan?"
 At the sound C Anne's familiar laugh over the telephone his black mood dissolved at once.
 You bet l am," he replied cheer fully.
 Anne said I'm glad. I thought possibly you had gone back to New York without even saying goodby. Where have you ueen?"
 Dan explained. And I know you've been busy, too. I didn't want to bother you"

 "Well'-he laughed-"you know how it is. Those eight o'clock and nine o'clock studio calls of yours. And I never knew when to go home
 It developed that Anne had called merely to inquire about him, And Mona and Eva have been wondering about you, too.'
 T was just about to call you, Anne. How about going to the opening with me? Paul's taking Maris Farrell"
 I'd love to, Dan.'
 Its date, then. Maris Far rell, by the way, said some nice things about you today. Paul and I were out there to lunch" "Oh, you were?'
 Yeah. Paul dragged me out with him. Maris told me she had seen you rehearsing." He repeated what Maris had said. Not so bad, eh? You've

Angeles: Parker, Stone s. Baird Co.
IN spirit and effect "On and Peace" constitutes
a warning to this country to its industri-
alists, fnanciers, legislators, to the public gen.
orally.
The book sums to a compact body Of research
that is concrete in fact, significant in mplca-
ton, vital in its possibilities Of issue. It is not
a story of optimistic outlook. Some may look
upon it, instead, as clear case OF running out
to meet trouble. However, here 1t is.
The last word points upon the present in
ternational commercial competition the di-
rect and immediate road to industrial war.
Oil Is the one indispensable factor In the on
coming struggle, according to Mr.. Gibbs. Neither
modern industry nor modern war itself can be
carried on without oil. Therefore, if any one
nation should come to control the oil trade that
nation is on the way toward industrial and
military supremacy.
The discussion opens with a brief summary
Of the uses, the growing uses Of petroleum and
certain of its by-products in everyday life.
the distribution of the considerable oil fields Of
the world And since this, like every other
natural resource, is subject to ultimate exhaus-
ton, the inevitable question of conservation
and further acquisition becomes q pivotal point
Of industrial and legislative concern to every
nation.
From this point on the study becomes of in
ternational scope with definite comparisons be-
tween Great Britain and the United States in
forward-looking plans for the acquisition and
control OF oil. BY implication, at least, this
country stands charged with youthful over-con-
fidence in the richness of its oil reserves in its
own general wealth and enterprise and power,
in its own divinely shaped ends. Unframed in
the long diplomatic schooling by way of which
European nations have achieved shifting SUI
premacies, this country-half optimist and half

ing no harm to any other nation in this great
day of common understandings and genuine
friendships.
International diplomacy is cited by occasion
and date More than that, its pockets are

real content than the suavities and subtleties
Of international speech is likely to make clear.

part of DR.. Sokolof to conception of the

up to an intelligent grasp of its diverse and
specialized groupings, to certain habits and
attitudes that are conducive to the legitimate
activities of these minute bodies, to certain

their sympathetic physical reactions. And, be-
sides, one is given an Illuminating look-in upon
those mysterious and magic organs the glands,
which have so much to do with keeping one

of the ground. There is much in this book
that the intelligent seeker-out of his own case
can grasp and make use of. But, it takes
work. Popular writing is not the field of DR..
Sokolof. Approaching, however, that there are
certain points in his scientific research that
can be brought into the open for practical
service, he has offered these vital statistics"
