whatever precautions are possible.
The current seasons peculiar wealth
err, however, was unpredictable until
the waters already were rising dam
erously. Day-by-day forecasts, of
course, were made as usual, but near
ly a month of almost continuous
drenching downpours throughout so
large a portion of the country was
much more than weather experts con-
fess they had counted on.
Periodical
About once in every three or four
years devastating floods sweep con-
siderable parts of the country.
During each of these visitarions the
cry of never again is heard from con-
gressional committees on irrigation,
reclamation, rivers and harbors and
flood control.
It continues to echo and re-echo
for a few months after each success
sive flood has subsidized.
Then it fades away gradually until
the next overflow.
1t is not altogether that nothing is

ways are constructed. Fresh spillways
are provided. Controls of various sorts
are devised.
Partially Effective
These precautions are partially eff
fective in spots. But whenever they
prevent a flood in one area they tend
to aggravate matters elsewhere. The
nub of meteorology seems to be: a
certain amount of water must find it's
way from the northern uplands to the
ocean, or more particularly the Gulf
of Mexico If one of it's channels is
obstructed it inevitably finds another
one.
Army engineers say they have SOL
we'd the problem but never have been
permitted to make their solution eff
fective
Their prescription: Control head
waters Dam up little streams. Not try
to keep the water from finding it's
level ultimately. That is hopeless. But
keep rain water and melting snow
from running off too rapidly Then,
although there still will be OCCASION
freshets, they will not be bad ones.
Objections
However, down-river communities
do not like this program.
They want down-river engineering
because it is locally profitable. The
up-river folk are correspondingly I'M
enthusiastic at the idea of being tax
ed to protect downstream population.
They do not have floods where they
live. They furnish the water which
overflows the lower reaches of the
big rivers, but their motto is: Let the
downstream inhabitants foot the

county. The bill also authorizes the
issuance of bonds in the amount of
$75O,O00 and the creation of a COM
mission composed of five business men
to be appointed by the governor and
to serve without pay, to supervise
the construction of the new building.
This is regarded as the first of a Sc
ries of bills in prospect calling Tor
one or more new State buildings here,
as a result of the congestion both in
State buildings and in privately own
ed office buildings. At the present
time the State is expanding more
than $4,000 a year in rents for office
space in private buildings, while the
creation of additional agencies by
this General Assembly to administer
the various social security laws is ex-
pected to increase the annual outlay
for rent. 1t is estimated that the
various State agencies now renting
space outside of State-owned buildings
and Federal agencies renting space
in private buildings, could easily use
from ten to twelve floors in a new
office building and that it would be
real economy for the State to erect
such a building as soon as possible,
rather than to continue paying more
and more rent.
Representative c.. w. Spruill, of Der
tie county, chairman of the commit
tee on public buildings and grounds,
has already undertaken a detailed
survey of conditions in the State-own-

What Does That Mean?

A great many things can cause
constipation and there are many
remedies to relieve it, but possibly
none more popular than the "vege-

Among these, Black-Draught is
outstanding. In it's manufacture,
leaves of a certain plant are used,

are dried so they will keep without

This particular pair seemed TO-
bring none too much, yet the al.
fair has always been growing
through the twenty-four years
since that far-off first game which
saw Rockne and Dorais go wild
on the plains above the point. To-
day it reached a creScendo.
In fact, they're calling this the
dollar-a-yard game, because of the
story, unconfirmed and possibly
untrue, that spectators were get
ting $50 pair for tickets on the
SO yard line. They also say that
behind the end zone the price is
SIS a pair-one for each goal post
but, as to that, they'd probably
pay as much if you put them be-
hind the concession stand.
COLORFUL EVENT
For this is the one game of the
year where Notre Danes famous
pavement constituency gets its
chance to play college-boy for a
day; also where the colonel's lady
and Judy O'Grady really become
sisters under the raccoon. Outside
of the cadet corps and a handful
of officers from nearby army
posts, the crowd is as collegiate as
a sleeve garter.
Nevertheless, the hySteria over
this one defies all reason. Neither
team seemed to have an attack.
The Army, having lost to Yale,
gained So yards on the ground
against Harvard last week and
barely bungled through to 7-6
victory. Notre Dame scored a
total of four touchdowns in its
last five games, of which it lost
two and tied one. 1t was just off
a 21-6 beating by Pitt which left
it so done-in it was possible that
neither Mccarthy at center nor
Mccormick at halfback would be
able to start today.
SOGGY FIELD
Even the weather was adverse,
for it rained throughout the night
and the forecast was for a con-
tinuance of the storm this after
noon.
The Army already had shifted
some of its emplacements with
the idea of bringing greater power
to the forward line and this fig
ured to pay dividends, in case it
came UP mud for the game. Stella,
a 21O-pounder, was to start at
tackle, Coach Gar Davidson an
nounced. Isabel, a 220-pounder,
was to replace Little at guard
with Jim Mather, 225 pounds
starting at the other tackle, and
Jim Schwenk going into the back
field instead of Frontczak.
However, the weather probably
would be no particular boon tc
the Army. It had been a passing
team UP to this game, and neither
receiver nor thrower can guar
antee results with a sodden ball

Although the "Y" forfeited to Vic

have been given that the G Street
institution will place a team on
the floor from now on. Treasury
has been knocked about quite q
bit in their three games, but the
players come back fighting each
time and each game has seen their
run total go up while their op-
ponentS have been coming down.
Y. M. C. A. was drubbed 23-1 in
five-inning tilt in their only
start.
Two Standards players stood out
in the victory over Sogimas, a
game that required two extra in
nings. They were Benzing, short
stop, whose lack of weight and
height proves no detriment, and
Voigt.
Benzing, besides making several
good fielding plays, continued his
consistent hitting, getting five out
of six. Voigt is the best all-around
man Standards has. After turn
ing in two good pitching perform
anceS, he was shifted to second
base and then third.
In both positions he looked
good. His pickup and perfect
throw of Koustenis' hopper with
the tying run on third ended the
game. He also collected a double
and single in five trips to the
plate.
Greggorio, with four for four,
and Panago, Zanelotti and Aqui-
limo with three hits each, kept
Sogimas in the game until the last
out.

EXPECT CROWD
BY HARRY COSTELLO

PITTSBURGH, Nov. 13.-This
city OF smoke certainly is all set
for a real weekend of football.
Today, it's Pitt VS.. Nebraska.
Tomorrow, it's the Pittsburgh Pi-
rates vs.. the Washington Redskins.
Both games are the talk of the
town. Neither is in opposition to
the other. Both will draw large
crowds.
The Pirate-Redskin game is i'm
portant to Washington. The Red
skins must win over the Pirates if
Washington is to figure in the
playoff for the championship OF
the Eastern Division of the Ma
tional Football League.
BLOOD READY
For the first time in two weeks,
the Pirates tomorrow will be at
full strength. Johnny Blood, play
ing manager and key man OF the
Pirates, is back in shape and will
face the visiting Redskins on the
opening kickoff tomorrow.
Other Pirate players who have
been out with injuries but who will
be back in the Pittsburgh lineup to-
morrow are Byron Gentry, guard;
Vinny Sites, end; Tex Holcomb,
tackle; Ed "Popeye" Karpowich,
tackle; Joe Cardwell, tackle, and
BY Haines, halfback. When the
Pirates lost to the New York
Giants last Sunday, in New York
none of the foregoing players par
ticipated in the game.
The RedSkin-Pirate game here
shares with the Giant-Lion game,
In New York, the spotlight of the
National Football League tomor-
row.
The New York Giants, present
pacemakers in the East, must win
over the Detroit Lions if the
Giants are to retain their position
as leaders of the Eastern division.
If the Lions lose, they will be elm
mated from further consideration
in the race for Western division
honors.
Other games tomorrow include
the Bear-Dodger game, in Chicago,
and the Packer-Eagle game, in
Milwaukee. The Chicago Bears
IRE highly favored over the Brook
Wn Dodgers, while the Green Bay
Packers are top-heaVy choices to
defeat the Philadelphia Eagles.
BATTLES LEADS
Tomorrow'S games give individ-
Ial pacemakerS opportunities to !
improve their positions. Cliff |
BATTLES, of the Redskins, has only
} 50-yard margin over George
Erosvenor, of the Chicago Car
dinals, but the Cards do not play
tomorrow, thus giving Cliff a
grand opportunity to improve his
leading position.
Slingin' Sammy Baugh tomor-
row will be out to regain the
league lead in forward passing
from Bob Monnett, of the Pack
RS. At the moment Monnett tops
Sammy by three points, quite a
slender margin.
