get along in the school work? His
last letter on the subject was more
or less a TRADE"
Reading, Rose smiled; shook
her head over the substantial
check, and sat down to figure with
pencil and paper. The house need
ed some repairs. Would she be JUS
titled in letting them go until the
autumn and squandering the mon
ey on things for herself? Her mo-
ther found her thus occupied and
said definitely, Nonsense, why
shouldn't you have some new
clothes? You spend very little on
yourself. my dear, and now that
you are going out more frequent
ly you certainly owe it to yourself
to be we'll dressed. Nothing gives
a girl more confidence"
Rose was amused at her mo-
theirs attitude. Mrs. Ward had al
ways listened to the arguments
which ragged about the house con-
corning the Sutton clan. She had
seemed to agree with the young
er people flat disapproval of SUIT
ton and all his works. But now
that Sally had begun to run in
and out Of the cottage as an init
mate, she took it in her stride and
seemed to think it a just tribute
TO Roses power of making friends.
Mothers, reflected Rose, even the
most democratic, were slightly
SnobbiSh when it came to their
children.
Frankly, she was enjoying her
self: there were dances at the
Club and parties at the house on
the Hill and excursions to the
Island, picnicS. swimming parties,
and trips on one or the other of
the boats. Sometimes Jonathan
was with them, but not always. On
such occasions it seemed to Rose
that Sally appeared to console her
self with Phil or visiting out-of-
town man or one of the usual
crowd.
The one less happy result of this
new friendship was that she saw
Jonathan less alone. When they
were together in the evenings or
Sundays, the general rule was
that Sally and her crowd were
with them. To be sure, he drop
ped in now and then on his way
home from his calls or late in the
evening. But for the most part
they were surrounded by other
young people.
Once he mentioned this to her.
They were dancing, at Sally's, and

dab high above the river. He said,
leaning on the railing and look

MAN proposes, God disposes. ("
That ancient adage can be aptly
applied to the problem of flood
control.
First flood control measure in
this country was taken by New
Orleans in 1717, when levee was
built. First Federal action came
in 1850, when Congress appropri-
ated $4,000 for a survey of the
Mississippi. Since that time bill
lions of dollars have been spent
by various units of government in
attempts to curb the destruction
caused by great rivers on ramp
age. Since the great 1927 flood
acne, several hundreds of millions
of dollars have gone into bikes,
levees, reservoirs. 1t was widely
believed that the flood menace
had at last been eliminated, at
least so far as important centers
of population were concerned.
Then came 1897, and man-made
devices again proved inadequate.
Asa resd1t, Gtlood control, past,
present and protected, has again
become a national issue, is engag-
ing the attention Of public men
and engineers alike. ai IL
Most flood control projects, as
Nicholas Roosevelt writes in the
New York Herald Tribune, care
dealing with results, not causes,
They are seeking to curb the dam
age of the waters, not to curb
the waters themselves" If the wa
tiers are to be curbed, land now
given to cultivation must be re-
turned to grass and woods, in or
der to hold rain and prevent ex-
cessive run-off. Experiments have
shown that where the run-off in
a grazed, cleared lot is nine per
cert, the run-off in a similar wa
tershed which is ungrazed and tim
bered will be as little as one-sixth
of one percent.
Obvious question is, Why, then,
have we spent our millions for
dams and levees and reservoirs
when we might have curbed the
water at its source?
In 1927, according to Time,
army engineers pointed out that
to reduce a Mississippi flood one
foot would require the holding out
of 100000 to 100000 acre
feet of water. If 100000 acres
of reforested land held back just
half-inch more water than would
flow off cultivated farm land a
flood would be reduced a half-inch
ard no more. Similar objections
were brought out by the army to

Miss Eta Patterson has receiv.

died at the home of her daughter,
Mrs. Oscar C. Gone, in Detroit,

the building of headwater reser-
voirs-it was said that at least ST.
000,000,000. would be required il
spent for this purpose, to do as
much good as $300,000,000 worth
of levees.
This gives some idea of the
magnitude of the problem. And
the upshot is, according to Turner
Cat.edge of the New York Times,
that it is now proposed to promote
a coordinated, longtime pro-
gram dealing with reforestation,
upstream control, prevention OF
soil erosion, ETC., all measures
which would steady the flow of
water to the sea. The evidence is
now complete that our past activi-
ties have been too scattered to
really solve the problem-we must
adopt the scientific approach. 1t
is estimated that at least 20 years
would be required to complete
such program. cos ,nI

RED MEN AND

JOINT MEETING
FRANK o. ROBERTS GIVES
ADDRESS. EXCELLENT PRO.
GRAM RENDERED DURING
OCCASION

Members of Tiger Tai Tribe
10, Improved Order Red Men and
Minoca Council Is, Degree Of
Pocahontas, assembled in joint
meeting in their hall last night to
enjoy a delightful program and
listen to Frank o. Roberts sound
note of warning, regarding the
:. snS' in Europe which are be-
coming a menace.
Mr.. Roberts, who is keeper of
records of Tiger Tail Tribe, had
given much thought to his sub
ject, and in touching on the Euro
pean situation and the threat
which the thoughts and ideals
mean to America said that there
is one cure for all other "isms''
and that is fraternalism.
The speaker held the attention
of his hearers as he guided them
through the different phases of
the situation in other ountries
and explained in definite terms
what the invasion of this country
by the thoughts which now domi-
nate certain countries would
eventually mean.
He drew vivid word picture Of
what curtailment of liberties now
enjoyed by the people of this
country, the freedom which is now
the birthright of citizens Of the
United States, and pleaded with
them to adhere to those ideals
which are dear to the American
heart, and not forsake Fraternal-
ism for the isms which mean
everything else but brotherly love.
Following Mr.. Roberts address
which was happily received, de-
lightful program of songs, instru-
mental numbers and readings was
given by members of the organi-
zations and invited guests, which
was replete with surprises and
those attending say that some ex-
cellent talent was brought TO the
attention of the audience.
During the intermission and be-
tween the different presentations.
delicious ice cream and cakes were
served. The evening was one of
the most delightful and enjoyable
ever experienced by members and
guests. II
