So while at Portsmouth, some $50
miles below, the river stage reached
81 feet. This can be explained by the
water poured in by tributary streams.
At Marietta the Muskingum river was
slightly swollen, permitting a great
deal of water to 'back-up" into it. In
1913 the Muskingum was on a RAM
page at the same time as the Ohio
which resulted in this giant flood di-
rectly above and below its mouth. By
the time the water from the Ohio
reaches the Mississippi it will have
flattened out so much it will do little

"REGISTER" MUST

Purpose Of Recent Law Is To

If you have been to your neighbor-

have noticed a sign over the prescrip-

Under the Laws of this State All Pur-
chasers of Poisons Must Sign The

In explanation of this notice, DR..
R. L. Swain, Deputy Food and Drug
Commissioner of the State Depart
ment of Health, said: Legislation en-
acted at the General Assembly of
Maryland in 1885, and duly signed by
Governor Nice, requires such sign
to be conspicuously posted by the pro-
prietors, in all stores at which poisons
are sold at retail. The State law also
specifics that the container of the
poison-the bottle, box, vessel, or

DR.. Swain said: "The purpose Of
this precaution is to minimize the
misuse and abuse of poisons and tt
confine their sale and distribution tC

tremely dangerous, and their sale
should be surrounded by all necessary

Contrary to natural supposition
the 1886 flood below Wheeling was
just another high water. Towns be-
low have still the record of the twenty
three year old food of 1918 to boast
about. In the town where the writer
grew up the flood barely wet Main
street that had been submerged to a
depth of eleven feet in 1918. At Mar
ietta, Ohio, that ranks with Pomeroy
as co-champion flood town on the up
per Ohio, a crest of So feet was ex-
pected but only At feet arrived to fall
eleven short of the So record breaking
stage of 1913. You may get some rea-
lization of what the 1913 terror was
like when you know that az feet puts
water on the first business street in
Marietta.
Portsmouth, the home of Selby's
Arch Support Shoes for women, has a
rather unique preventative against
floods. A concrete wall five feet thick
and high enough to take care of a
sixty foot stage extending for ten
miles around the business section,
along the river side. The wall was
built after the 1918 flood at a cost of
100000. Sewers are equipped with
valves that can be shut off to keep
the water from squirting up through
the streets. According to newspaper
dispatches a two foot wall of sand
bags had to be built to keep out the
flood of this year.

Crests and flood stages are rather
difficult to understand when you have
never lived on the river. Each town
has its flood stage based on the simple
idea of how much water it takes to
get into the town. River stages are
measured from the estimated bottom
of the river at each point. An aver
age stage in the river is about ten
feet. Flood crests are more complex.

Newspapers expressed an opinion
that the great crowd probably caused
some delay and that the many elderly

slowing of the progress over the long,
