U. s. Weather Men Tell Army How Large Dams Must Be

The biggest rain" that might fall
on river or creek watershed is one
of the things that engineers need to
know in building dam for flood
control. This hypothetical rain
must be at maximum intensity and
duration. The run-off from such a
rain determines the size of the
dam and-more especially-the size
of the spillway. Huge losses may
be avoided if the dam and spillway
are big enough to Withstand any
flood that may develop. Huge ssv-
ings result when construction does
not exceed needs for which the dem
is built.
Rainfall records and hydromete-
geological specialists of the United
States weather bureau provide the
corps Of engineers, United States
army, with essential information on
possible maximum precipitation
in q number Of watersheds or basins
where fiood-control projects are un-
der way. The figures turned over
to the engineers by the river and
flood division Of the weather bureau,
represent the maximum In rain
intensity and duration that may be
expected. The biggest rain that
may be expected would equal any
big rains that have fallen, or might
fall. q The river basin IN question.

The Arkansas river basin above
Caddoa, Colo, where a dam is to
be built, is a good example. In
checking its records, the weather bu-
reau considered all big rains in that
part Of the United States and de-
termined whether or not they might
have fallen on the upper Arkansas
watershed. The probability of big
ger rain than the hypothetical rain
is a virtual impossibility. says the
weather bureau.
The weather bureau has figures
on the maximum rainfall for other
such watersheds. Among them, the
Arkansas river basin above Caddoa,
Colo. the St. Francis river above
Wspapello, Mo-, the White river
above the Mud Mountain damsite
in Washington, Wolf creek above
Fort Supply in Oklahoma, and Mill
creek in Cincinnati. It is planned
to make similar study of all prin-
cipal river basins in the country.

CHAPTER TX

The Maharanee's maid, who
changed Lynn's frock, was one of
those who had been loaned to Aunty
Harding, because she knew English.
It was impossible not to believe that
the Maharanee already knew more
than the facts about Lynn's break
with her aunt. The maid left the
bedroom. The Maharanee sat by
the veranda window, staring past
the edge of the sun-blind into the
garden. There was hardly a sound
except the purring of the two cleo
trio fans.
Meanwhile, she smoked a ciga-
rette and watched the Maharanee,
who seemed to Lynn to be consider
ing, not what to say, but how to say
what was crowding her thought

1t might be inferred that you &C.

nothing about them until you
learned, let US say at the palace,
that someone knew about it; and
that then you hurried to me in
rather belated attempt to establish
innocence. am simply pointing out
to you what might be inferred If
you are not particularly careful"
Norwood stared at the package of
diamonds. He thought a minute.
Then he looked straight in the Resi-
dents eyes and spoke quite calmly:
you appear to me to be limiting.
Had you heard about these before l
brought them to your"
eyes"
"Who was your Informant"
ut was confidential"
"You suspect me of having &C.
cepted a bribe?"

Every well, sir, you admit that
someone accused me. I want the
name of the informant. Otherwise
l demand my arrest and court
martial"
Keep your temper. You have al
ready been reported to me for punch
ing someone's nose"
"Whose?"

"You have not had words with
Rundhia about herr"
Eyes. l did tell Rundhia, last
night after midnight, that if anything
should happen to Lynn Harding, /
would hold him answerable."
''Why should you have said that?"
Because like her. I suspected
Rundhia's intentions"
'Are you sure she is nice? Why
should she have told Rundhia?"
II don't believe she did. Rundhia
lied, if you ask me. Perhaps serv-
ant told him."
"Just a moment, sir. This &C.
ours to me. Is Rundhia exactly in
good standing?"
mo. Confidentially, speaking off
the record, took recent occasion
to warn him that one more indiscre-
ton might endanger his succession
to the throne"
II suppose" said Norwood, sit
would be great deal easier, and
would cause lot less trouble, to
veto him now than to have to de-
pose him later on, after he had
come to the throne?"
why, yes, certainly. Even the
right of veto isn't anything we like
to exercise. To depose a ruling
prince, after once having recognized
his right to the throne-well, it has
been done. But it isn't good policy,
if it can be avoided. You see, the
alternative to Rundhia is Jodha, who
is an invalid and likely to be child
less. We might be accused of de-
posing Rundhia in order to grab
Kadur. No. If Rundhia should sue.
