Flood Control Proposed for
Business Area, Air Fields
and Arlington Farms

An authorization of SSH, 900
for levees and grading to protect
the downtown portion of Wash
ington, Arlington Experimental
Farms, Boiling Field and the
Anacostia Naval Air Station is
included in the omnibus flood
control bill pending today before
the House Flood Control Com
mittee.
Representative Riley j. Wilson
Cd, Louisiana, chairman OF
the committee, is conducting the
hearings which have not yet
heard testimony on the local prof.
ectS.
In the plan outlined for the
protection of the washington
area it is estimated that flood
having a discharge of from 475,-
900 to $4,000 cubic feet per Sec
ond is possible.
Overflow Feared
The report states that such a
flood would overflow an area in
Guiding the wharves and indus
trial development of the Gorge
town waterfront above the mouth
of Rock Creek. the War College
grounds and all of Potomac Park
south of the Lincoln Memorial,
the lands of the Navy and NUM-
tions Buildings and the building
of the Pan-American Union, the
northern and eastern portions OF
the Mall, a greater part of the
Ellipse, the area between Penn
sylvania Avenue and Constitution
Avenue and Pennsylvania Avenue
from Thirteenth Street to the
Capitol grounds as we'll as the
Navy Yard, Boiling Field, the
Naval Air Station, the Washing
ton and Hoover Airport. and the
Department of Agriculture's Elk
perimental Farms.
The plan suggested for down.
town Washington is a levee ex-
tending approximately along the
line of Independence Avenue
Southwest from a point near the
Lincoln Memorial to the high land
between the washington Monu.
ment and the Bureau of Engrav'
ing and Printing, and the raising
of P st. S. w. in the vicinity OF
Canal Street about two feet Tor a
distance of $50 feet.
Raise Air Fields
Commenting on the flooding Of
Boiling Field and the Naval Air
Station, it was stated that the en-
tire area could be raised to an ele-
walton of the flood height at the
cost of 100000. The District en-
gineer recommended, however, the
construction of a levee around the
property at an estimated cost Of
100000.
Major General Brown, Chief of
Engineers of the Army, how
ever, held that the protection
of downtown " ashington could be
accomplished by grading the park
roads or park grounds between
Washington Monument and Lin
coin Memorial at cost of $50 1000.
Bladensburg Area
In tn same report the District
Engineer suggested that the over
flow of the AnacoStia River that
causes 50 much havoc at Blandens-
burg should be controlled as far
as traffic is concerned by raising
the Baltimore Highway above the
level of the flood and recommend
ed that in the proposed park de-
velopment under the Maryland
Park and Planning Commission
some consideration should be given
to flood control.
There is no item in the present
bill, however, directed at relief
for Bladensburg.

vents a romance with a sweet and
talented ballet dancer at the royal
opera. Miss Laye makes beautiful
picture in her ballet costume.
She enters into the conspiracy to

Just when you think they are
going to be happy forever and ever,
the emperor, played in most ma

the feeling at the end of the story
that Novarro will grow up being just
