France, Belgium, Great Britain and
Italy affirm that the Locarno pact still
remains in force and stipulate that
the general staffs of the four countries
make immediate contact to arrange
technical conditions for carrying out

The Locarno powers, under the plan,
invite Germany to submit the Franco
Soviet pact to The Hague court and
agree to abide by the courts decision.
Until negotiations for a new Sc

FLOOD CONTROL
MEASURE REVIVED
$571,0 900 for Projects Here
and $500, 900, 900 for
Nation Sought.

The damage wrought by surging
waters Of Eastern rivers his week
has brought to light a flood-control
bill, including a project to protect
Washington, which has been tied up
in the Senate since 1t passed the House
ut the last session.
The office of Chief of Engineers Is
being asked today to revise the meas
ure for consideration by the Senate
Commerce Committee. presided over
by Senator Copeland, Democrat, of
New York, at this session.
The local project. which was in the
bill as it passed the House, authorized
S57l, 900 to prevent future overflow
ing Of the Potomac opposite the Ma
tional Capital.
Purposes Described.
TIE House report described its pur-
pose as follows:
The proposed project provides for
the protection of the central down.
town portion of the National Capital,
Arlington Experimental Farm, Wash
ington- Hoover Airport. Boiling Field
and Anacostia Naval Air Station. The
work includes levees, grade raising
flood gates for sewers and drains and
raising certain buildings. The central
part of the city has been flooded
twice in the last so years, and out
lying areas to 10 times during the
same period. The probable damage
from one record flood is estimated
at s14, ,480 900 or. for 25-year period,
annual damage which would be pre-
vented is estimated at $580,000.
The report then points out that the
cost of the project would be only
SSH, 900. While the House bill is to
be gone over by the engineers at this
time, 1t Is generally expected that the
Senate bill will retain projects within
the areas affected by the present
food.
s5O0,O0O, 900 for Nation.
The projects authorized by the
House bill for the entire country rep
resented a total cost of more than
S500,000 900, but the list included
about 100000 for projects which
it was planned to carry forward as
w. P. A. work out of emergency re-
lief funds. Separation of those items
would reduce materially the total new
authorization in the pending bill.
In addition to the work opposite
Washington. the bill made provision
for other Potomac basin projects to
protect Cumberland, Md; Ridgeley,
w. Va, and Harpers Ferry. This
work included retaining walls along
Wills Greek, a diversion channel
through Ridgeley, movable dam and
retaining wall at West Cumberland,
an earth levee at South Cumberland
and clearing Channel Island. The
estimated cost of this work is $743, 400.
Flood protection for Moorefeld,
w. Va, to cost s41.500, and for
Harpers Ferry. to cost $164,e00. also
are part of the Potomac River basin
program.
In addition to reviving this pending
bill of specific projects, Senator Cope
rate measure laying down the general
policy for future flood control under
takings by the Federal Government.
After calling attention to the destruc-
tion of property, loss of life and up
setting Of orderly processes. caused
by floods, the bill would place Con-
gresS on record as making flood con-
troll an appropriate activity of the
Federal Government It would define
in general way the functions of
the Army Engineer Corps in making
future flood studies.

future.

impose on his aunt.
Impose On her? Why you'll be
doing her a favor. Honestly-I
mean It'll"
1T would be grand for you, Har-
riet," Toby urged: "You know the
doctor said you shouldn't go to work
right away"
Two days later a letter arrived
from Mrs. Abigail Dinwiddie-a let
ter that revealed Mrs. Dinwiddie to
be exactly the sort of person Hiatt
had described her as.
ut was sweet of her to write me,
wasn't it?" Harriet said. But, of
course, can't CO."
Nevertheless, when Sunday morn
ing arrived, Marty Hiatt halted his
car before the apartment and pres
emily was helping Harriet in and
slowing her suitcase into the rear.
Toby found it lonely after Harriet
was gone. The days had been so
full that she had had little time to
herself. Now she had more than
she knew what to do with. For no
reason at all, calls from the studio
dropped off.
They'll pick up again." Sally, at
the Model League Office, assured
her.
TOBY hoped they would. Jay
l. Hillyer was out of town. Bill
seemed TO be busy at his job; at
any rate, she didn't hear from him.
Then the weather turned hot.
1t was June, but the sun beat
down on the pavements as though
it were August, and what breeze
there was only added to the dis
comfort. People said they "felt it,
because the heat had come so sud-
denly.
Toby, finding the apartment un-
bearable, set off one afternoon for a
movie. The theater, at least, would
be cool.
She reached the avenue and
halted, waiting for the traffic light
to change. A young man in a
white suit elso was waiting there.
He turned and said, "Why-Gor-
geous!"

COST OF RURAL
ELECTRICITY is
DEBATED TOPIC
Farm Bureau Chief Refutes
Contention of Rep. FinIy
Gray.

High cost of rural electrification is
caused by distribution problems, not
by excessive rates of private power
companies, according to the Indiana
Farm Bureau Cooperative Associa-
ton.
An association official refuted
charges that private utilities are
keeping the farmers of Indiana
cropping in the mud and darkness"
made in the national House of Rep
resentatives by Rep. Finly H. Gray.
'Mr. Gray commended that if IVA
rates were applied to present electri-
cal consumption in Indiana, it would
result in a saving to ratepayers of
$19 $4,000 year." the officer said.
Il wonder where he found those fig
ures? He also over-estimates the
savings a city makes with a munich
pally owned power plant"
Little Current Needed =
Engineers have estimated, the off,
Ger said, that if all the farms in the
state were served with electricity,
the load would be only half as great
as that maintained by the S. Hard
ing-st plant of the Indianapolis
Power and Light Co. A 10000 kilo-
watt plant probably could serve all
of them, he said.
The problem is in getting sub
scribers and lines, he continued.
That is why the county co-opera-
tives, being set up under the Farm
Bureau, are to make no effort to
furnish their own power, the officer
said.
The average county load prob
ably will be between $50 and 300
kilowatts, he explained, and the CO.
operatives can buy that much pow
er cheaper than they can make it.

Harriet lying back against the pill
lows Of the hospital bed. Harriet
said:
I'm sorry, Toby. I guess I've
made everybody lot of trouble"
Darling, it's all right now. You
had us horribly frightened last
night, but now everything's all right.
The doctor says you'll be yourself IL
just few days"
Yes, know"
THE few words seemed to have
l. exhausted Harriet. Toby lin
gered a few moments and then
nurse said that it was time for her
to leave.
From then on her daily routine
included as much time at the hos
pital as she could spend there. Bill
came with her once, and another
evening she arrived to find Marty
Hiatt sitting beside Harriet's bed.
There were flowers in baskets and
vases about the room-so many that
some Of them were on the floor.
Harriets illness had been re-
ported as the result of an accident.
She had many friends and all were
solicitouS about her recovery.
why, the place looks like a
florists shop!" Toby exclaimed.
Harriet smiled. 1T does, doesn't
it? It's lovely of people to send
them, but feel selfish with so many
flowers when some of the patients
haven't any at all. I've asked the
nurse to take part of mine to some
of the other rooms"
Marty nodded toward Harriet.
"She looks fine, doesn't she? All she
needs is to get some color in her
cheeks
She did look better, although she
still was weak. The doctor had or
dered that she should remain at the
hospital a few days longer.
TOBY was cheerful at the hos
Il pital, but privately she was
worried. Since the day Harriet
had received Clyde Sabin's letter
she had not mentioned him.
Did she still feel that life with
out Clyde was not worth while?
That was why she had done this
dreadful thing, of course. There
couldn't be any other reason.
If Harriet would only talk about
it! But she didn't. She was
sweetly appreciative of everything
that was done for her. She lay
back against her pillows like a
pale shadow of herself. The verve
and sparkle, the gaiety that every
one associated with Harriet was
gone.
Only one person besides Toby
knew the truth about the "acci-
dent" of the escaped gas-Bill
Toby discussed the problem with
him.
What worries me-" she con-
fided, "is what may happen after
she leaves the hospital and comes
home. Everybody knows she was

"She ought to go away some

anything any more. That's the
trouble. Bill, do you think she'd

LIE understood what she meant
l. l. before the words we're out.
Not a chance" he said. Don't
you know, Toby, that once any one
has come as close to the finish as
Harriet did, they never make a sec
ond try? They realize, guess, just
how much life means"
Il hope you're right"
"Of course I am. I can show you
figures to prove it,"

who made the suggestion that was
carried out. Harriet was back at

choking fumes in her throat. She
CROPPED for the electric switch,
found it.
The room was just as it had been,
but there was no sign of Harriet.
Where is she?" Toby cried. ooh.
Bill, where is she?"
The kitchenette of the apartment
was little more than cupboard. In
fact, it had been one once. Bill
pulled the door back and disap-
peared inside. The sting of the gas
was sharper with the door open.
Toby cried, Bill" and ran for
ward.
There he was, with Harriet in his
arms. Raise the other windows"
he directed. do you know where
to get doctor?'
He put Harriet on the davenport
and they did everything they could
think of to revive her, but she was
still unconscious when the doctor
arrived. He made arrangements i'm
mediately to take her to hospital.

doctor promised.

dreary hospital waiting room. Her

chief she twisted in her hand limp,

What time is it now?" Toby
asked.
He told her.
Surely it can't be much longer

JOB INSURANCE
LAW EXPLAINED
TO EMPLOYERS
Cooperation Urged by
White in His Address
al Charlottesville.

Times Special
CRAWFORDSvILLE. Ind, April
16.-Members of the Montgomery
County Chamber of Commerce to-
day considered a plea that Indiana
employers cooperate with the state
In working out the unemployment
compensation law.
Unemployment compensation, I'M
der the Indiana law, neither is taxa
ton nor charity, but an insurance
plan worked out on a sound insur-
ance basis, Prof. r. Clyde White, In
diana University social research
bureau director, told the Chamber
last night.
The Indiana Legislature did more
than plan to pay benefits to unem-
ployed workers. said Prof. White,
who was an adviser of the joint
committee which prepared model
social security legislation for the
special session.
Sees Incentive for Sterilization
1.-The Legislature" Prof. White
continued, drafted a blueprint for
the sterilization Of employment. The
Indiana plan provides that after
March, 1899, the amount of contri-
buttons of both employers and en-
ployes will depend on the record of
employment provided by each con-
Germ. There will be a direct incen-
tive for each business to stabilize
employment.
Il spent the summer of 1882 in
Germany studying their social in
surance system. talked with off,
Gals of the German General Fed
Grafton of Labor, with officials of
the Associated Employers, with pro-
fessional men, with manufacturers
and with government officials.
Not one of them said unemploy-
ment insurance was failure; all
of them said they could not Go
without it. Englishmen have told
me the same thing about their law.
Two Methods Combined
"All foreign laws provide for
pooled funds only; Wisconsin, the
first state to have an unemployment
compensation law, provides only for
an individual reserve account. Our
law provides for both. BY the use of
the reserve plan, we provide for
payment of benefits, and we make
ii profitable for the employer to
prevent unemployment; by the Gre
alton of pooled account, we spread
the risk to which employees are ex-
posed and we gain the maximum
Insurance coverage. Because we
have combined these two principals
in our law, other states and the
Federal government are going to be
deeply interested in our experience
with it.
"As insurance, the Indiana plan
is conservative. Because money must
be paid in before it can be paid out,
no benefits will be paid until after
April l, 1888. Unemployed workers
then will be entitled to receive bene-
fits. They can receive one week of
benefits equal to SO per cent of
weekly wages, but not to exceed SIS
a week for every four weeks work.
The maximum duration of benefits
for an employe Is Is weeks.
Calls Law Good
1.-THE reserves provided under the
Indiana plan are sufficiently high
to insure the payments of these
benefits with margin of safety.
I'VE have a good unemployment
compensation law in Indiana. 1t is
up to those concerned in it, the
employers and employees, to make
it work out successfully. The I'M
employment compensation division
is ready at all times to cooperate
with you"
