WHAT CAUSED THE FLOOD

Many readers of The Citizen find it
hard to understand just exactly what
started the disastrous flood that caused
such terrible damage in the Ohio River
Valley and is now coursing down the Mis-
sissippi River to the Gulf of Mexico, leav-
ing devastation in its wake.
Weather experts explain the phe-
nomena by saying that cold, dry air from
the polar regions met warm moist air
from the tropics. When this happens rain
results. When it continues for an abnor-
NAL period, the precipitation is far above
normal. Consequently, the water flows
rapidly into streams, the rivers are over
loaded and leave their banks.
In connection with the present flood
it is pointed out that the rainfall over the
Ohio River basin and other flood areas
was some two to six times the normal
amount during January. Some weather
reported twenty-three inches of rain
when the normal was only four inches. In
number of areas the excess rainfall
varied from nine to more than eighteen
inches above normal.
Readers, hearing constantly about an
inch of rainfall, seldom realize that this
means that one hundred and thirteen tons
of water have descended on a single acre
of ground. An inch of rainfall amount. to
1920 tons of water to the square mile.
The vast amount of water that thus
reaches the earth is attested by a fairly
accurate measurement of one days rain in
an English county, where 670, 220, 900 tons
of water came from the skies in one day
A rain in India some, years ago, was
measured with reasonable accuracy and
the total fall of water amounted to 7OO0,-
100000 TONS
So great is the prodigous deluge that
balances the evaporation of the water
from the surface of the earth that COM
petent weather experts estimate that the
amount of rain and snow falling on the
entire surface of the earth averages about
100000 900 tons second. 1t is easy to
see, from such figures, that long continued
rains, over any considerable area, will in
evitably cause disastruos floods unless
measures are taken to retard the flow of
water.

Gently caught the attention of editors in

The electrocution of young woman

Another was the fatal stabbing of a

than five hundred persons listened to a
speaker, but were unable to tell how,
when or by whom he was murdered.
The third was the ''lucky mistake of
a postman" who misread an address on a

A RICH RAKEoFF
(Tampa Tribunel


Florida Front Page, a snappy and informa-
tive journal which recently began publication at
Tallahassee brings out a fact probably little
known to the general public.
Front Page tells us that, every dollar paid
by the state for school books, 10 percent goes to
the school book depository in Jacksonville. In
the past two years. total purchases of $780,
600, the depoaitory collected the snug sum of
$156000. The depository relays orders to the
various publishers. The office of the State Super
intendent of Education, which directs the entire
school administration of the state, has an APP
preparation of only $4,000.
State Superintendent English made an in
vestigation of the depository situation and re-
ported that there is nothing illegal about it. be-
cause the commission to the depository is author
lied by act of the Legislature This is another
instance of colossal waste As Front Page points
out, books could be ordered directly from publish
ers by the State Superintendent and the state
could save the 10 per cent paid Mr.. Fincannon,'
who operates the highly profitable depository, for
an entirely useless function, costing $4,000 a
year.

This bonus, misnamed 4higher

leges obtained by threats of injury,

of the constitutional right to direct
their own business. but the great and
continuous loss falls on consumers in
higher prices that they must pay to
keep up the series of bonuses to a
privileged class of wage dictators.
Those who force this unwarranted

of consumers receive higher wages
than those they exploit without the
tribute-but in the name of social

On the open market of freedom of
contract, the market, not individuals
nor groups, fixes the values of all COM

or price is the result of natural forces
expressing themselves through the
natural law of demand and supply
and the natural law of competition.

differences in wages are due chiefly
tn differences N the quality of labor.
Differences in technical wages in diff

the fact that wage carriers take into
consideration things outside of tech

KEY WEST IN
DAYS GONE BY


Almost unbelievable hardships
were undergone by group of Is
immigrants which were picked up
at Key Largo several days ago.
Rabbi RachniiI, of the Jewish
synagogue IN hey West, was in
close touch with the unfortunates
while here. The majority of them
were Polish Jews. The aliens
were almoSt naked when they
reached Key West, for they had
used their clothes to caulk the
seams OF the boat which was
leaking badly. For eight days
the party was afloat and for six
of these days they were in danger
of drowning. During the trip a
storm came up and when they
were landed on Key Largo they
were told they were but a short
ways from Cuba. They were COM
pletely fooled by the smuggler
who brought them to Key Largo
as he had told the aliens that he
had been authorized to bring them
here and displayed an official
looking document which purport-
ed to be permission from the
United States Immigration au-
thorities to handle immigrants be-
tween Cuba and the United
States. While in Key West all
members OF the party were cloth
edossupplieds with shoes and well
fed in the county jail. When leav-
ing for Philadelphia in charge Of
officials yesterday, they signed,
and very gladly, testimonial to
the kindness and courtesy extend
ed during their stay.
