Mr.. Carson explained the import

normally about the same amount

the normal functions. A fever, q
temperature above normal, indi-
Gates that the body Is operating at
a higher rate than normal because
it Is working harder to throw oil q
diseased condition. The true con-
cept OF fever was not realized until
the middle OF the 10th century and
clinical Thermometers did not come
into general use until 1870 In Eng
land and 1875 In the United States.
Since that time, Mr.. Carson said,
their use has grown to such an ex-
tent that they are now indispensable
to the physician, the nurse and even
to the housewife. and with 2.O00,0OO
thermometers being sold IN the
United States annually governmental
agencies have interested themselves
In the quality Of those being sold.

Flood Sweeps on Down Po-
tomaC, Leaving Wide
spread Desolation.
BY the Associated Press.

CUMBERLAND. Md. March 19.-
It's business district heavily guarded
by State troops, Maryland's second
largest city emerged from a Shiny
blanket of Potomac River mud today
and counted devastating flood losses in
millions of dollars.
Elsewhere in the State, particularly
along its northern and southern bor-
ders, thousands made frantic prepara-
tions to receive the full force of raging
waters just reaching the lowlands.
Other thousands, already rendered
homeless in Western Maryland, sought
the aid of National Guardsmen and
relief workers to salvage some of their
property.
Electric power along both sides of
the river was shut off last night as the
muddy torrent roared toward the sea
and engulfed villages and towns in
depths greater than those of 1889,
year Of the Johnstown disaster.
Shortly after midnight, high water
reached Harpers Ferry, w. Va. tear
ing away the highway bridge leading
to Weaverton. Nd. and inundating the
business section to a depth of from 10
to Is feet.
What amounted to martial law was
in force here, with dead-tired troopers
patrolling the streets to prevent loot
ing Of hundreds Of battered stores and
homes. For blocks. not q plate glass
store window was intact.
The Guardsmen. on duty more than
36 hours. their uniforms mud-stained
and torn. looked in vain for relief
from Hagerstown last night. Com
pany B Of the 1St Infantry, stationed
there, was ordered to Cumberland, but
was marooned en- route at McConnels-
burg, Pa, by washoutS.
Commerce was dead and devastation
commonplace here. Four of the banks
in the city were inundated and all
stores were closed. Approximately
1900 residents were driven from their
homes.

ARLINGTON USING
EMERGENCY MAINS
DaIeCarIia Water Shut OFF
to Relieve Strain on
Chain Bridge.
By staff Correspondent OF The Star.

ARLINGTON COURT HOUSE, Va,
March 19.-Arlington County is as
sured of an adequate water supply in
event its main lines beneath Chain
Bridge, from which the water tempo
rarily was shut off to relieve strain on
the bridge, should be damaged by the
flooding Potomac, county officials said
today.
The supply was cut of at the Dis
trict'S Dalecarlia Reservoir shortly be-
fore pm. officials said it would be
turned on again as soon as danger tc
the bridge lessened.
Meanwhile County Manager Roy S.
Braden ordered the countyS emer-
gency connections turned on. They
were recently provided for when the
Chain Bridge lines-two 8-inch mains
carried beneath the bridge flooring, 40
feet above the rivers normal level
were threatened by ice jams.
The most important OF these con-
nections is with the Government
owned Fort Myer supply line, at the
intersection of PerShing drive and
North Barton street.
This connection, completed only
few weeks ago, will furnish two-thirds
of the county with its normal supply,
it was said. as long as the Fort Myer
lines, crossing the river by way of Key
Bridge, remain undamaged.
The remaining third of the county
can be supplied for a period of four
or five days from water stored in the
county's reserve tanks, according to
Braden. There is also, he said.
connection with another main at East
Fails Church, which has been ordered
turned on.
In event that these sources are cut
off, it was pointed out, there is an
appropriation available for conStruc-
ton of temporary lines across the
river by the District Engineering De-
partment, either across one OF the
bridges or over a pontoon structure.

All structures but the administration

1000 RACE FLOOD
TO COMPLETE dixie
FIoodIights and Trucks Aid
Work of Protecting U. S.
Buildings.

After working all night under the
glare Of fioodlights and portable anti
aircraft searchlights furnished by the
National Guard, nearly 1000 c. c. c.
and Works Progress Administration
workers today seemed to be winning
their race against the rising waters
Of the Potomac River to build 49,
foot dixie across the low area between
the Washington Monument and the
west side of the Navy and Munitions
Buildings.
While crews of C. c. c. youths from
the Washington area and five COM
panies brought in during the night
from neighboring districts filled sand
bags and laid them along the dixie
line nearly mile long, 80 trucks
shuttled back and forth from the
dixie to nearby points where steam
shovels replenished their loads.
Completion Before Noon.
The dixie was to be completed before
noon, full two hours before the crest
of the high water sweeping down
from the upper reaches of the Poto-
mac, was scheduled to reach Wash
ington. With the race against the
rising waters apparently won, officials
of the Rational Capital Parks Serv-
ice, which has had charge of the dixie
construction, at o'clock released
five companies which had been on
duty since midnight and permitted
them to return to their stations al
Annapolis, Belair and Beltsville, Md.
Protection Of Dixie.
With the water level scheduled to
reach the 19-foot level at Key Bridge
about noon. the parks service officials
estimated that making the dixie G
feet high would protect the area.
After the crest has reached here
and is coupled with the high tide
to bring the water to the highest
point in nearly half a century, 1t
is expected to maintain its level for
| about seven hours. To guard against
| possible breaks in the dixie a force

points along the line to rush re-
