Forgotten Man.

The real forgotten man appeared in, police and traffic courts this morning. This morning after the last case in traffic court had been heard and Judge John F. Mo- Grath was leaving hte bench his attention was attracted to the prisoners cage where an elderly gentleman was waving his hands, emphasizing his displeasure by making all sorts of sounds in his native tongue.
 Judge McGrath returned to the bench and inquired why all of the men were nto brought, before him and everyone turned to the cage. Finally one of the policemen said that the man had been brought in Saturday night and this morning no one could recall what for. Through an interpreter it was learned that he was arrested for drunkenness. "Oh we'll" said Hizzoner, 'if that's all, let him go." tt.

Army Engineers Devise Plan of Protection in
 Merrimac Valley

Boston, Feb. 15-(UP)-Army en- gineers have devised a plan for con- struction of retention reservoirs in the upper Merrimac valley to safe- guard against floods similar to the disastrous one of last spring, the Massachusetts state planning board announced today.
 Captain Hugh J. Casey of the North Atlantic district army engi- neers presented at a meeting last week of the board and the New Hampshire Interstate Compacts commission the results of an exten- sive survey of the river.
 Needed relief from flood danger on the Merrimac river can be prac- ticably obtained through the con- struction of retention reservoirs in the upper reaches of the valley and very substantial benefits can be gained by the development of three such basins which are made possible under the authorization of the flood control act approved last June," a board statement said.
 Location of Reservoirs
 The reservoirs would be located at Franklin Falls, N. H., 8 short dis tance beyond the junction of the Pemigewasett and Winnepesaukee rivers; on the Black and White river, about eight miles above the junction of the Black Water and the Contoocook rivers; and quar- ter mile above Allenstown, N. H.
 Cost of the three reservoirs was estimated at $6,760,0 ,000 for construc- ton, which would be borne by the federal government, and $3,641 ,O00 for land fiowage, damage and relo- cation costs to be borne by the states involved.

IS = (UP) - Two British destroyers, Havock and Gip- sy, engaged yesterday in what was described as firing duel with an airplane, believed to be one of the Spanish Nationalist air force, Off Algeria, North Africa, 1t was learned today. A large airplane, apparent ly a Junkers (German make) in- effectively dropped six bombs near the destroyers IS or 20 miles off Cape Tenez, it was said. The en- gagement was described as the first one in which British armed forces have been involved since the start of the Spanish civil war, though other British ships have fired warn ing shots at Spanish cornbatant craft.
 Crack New DestrOyers c
 The Havock and Gipsy are sister ships, crack new destroyers of 1885 tons. with complements of 145 of- ficers and mean each. They mount four AZ guns and seven smaller guns each. As the atplane pro- ceeded northward from the Afri- can coast toward the Balearic Is- lands, it was said, the destroyers replied with fire.

Sir Henry Chiffon, British ambassador to Spain, will be in structed to protest to the Nation- alist dictator, generalissimo Fran cisco France, from his emergency embassy at Hendaye, on the French Spanish frontier.
