U. s., Canada Start
Niagara Falls Project
To Increase Power
Island and Submerged
Dam Also Designed to
Prevent Erosion
Wide World News.

Wide World News.
NIAGARA FALLS, N. Y.-The
United States and Canada are start
ing a venture designed to provide
additional electric power to meet
war demands and. at the same time,
conserve the beauty of the falls.
The double-barreled project in
wolves construction OF weir, or
submerged dam, in the Canadian
channel of the Niagara River above
Horseshoe Falls and will provide
another attraction for tourists lured
by the famed cataract 1t is sched-
uled to be completed this year.
Engineers representing the United
States Army and the Ontario Hy-
droelectric Commission assert the
weir will raise the water level at
various points where water is di-
verted for hydroelectric power pro-
duction and will force more water
into the American channel, thus
adding to the splendor OF the Amer
lean falls.
by spreading the water more
evenly" one engineer explains, I'VE
believe erosion of the Horseshoe
Falls should be retarded and scenic
beauty retained even if there is
greater diversion for power"
The weir, about 1000 feet long,
will be constructed between Canada
and an island to be created 1900
feet upstream from Goat Island
A channel on either side will permit
sufficient water to flow over Horse
show Falls. The top of the weir will
be feet under water when the
waite is at its lowest.
Preliminary to the dams con-
struction. l6-foot wide. rock-fllled
causeway to transport materials
will be built from Goat Island to
a point where the upper rapids
start. There will be created the
new island. measuring 800 feet long
and 100 feet wide.
On this island and Canadian
shore will be constructed l50-foot
steel towers along line parallel
to the proposed weir The towers
will support cables to be used as
a track for buckets carrying rock
for the dam from the Canadian
shore.
After the weir is completed a
study of the rivers waterflov will
be made and the galloway will be
employed to make periodic adjust
ments. When the water flow meets
with approval OF engineers the
towers and stone causeway will be
removed. leaving the new island a
permanent fixture.

Spending About Equal
To Year Ago, but
Buyers Get Less
Most Stores Report
Unit Volumes Are
Below 1o4l Marks
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. May 15.-Ameri-
cas- are spending about as much
money as they did last year but are
getting less merchandise. Dun &
Bradstreet's weekly trade review
indicated today.
While most retailers found sales
during the past week equaled totals
of a year ago, the review said, a
majority had moderate to substan-
tial decreases in the physical volume
of turnover.
Retail dollar sales on average
were estimated approximately equal
to volume in the corresponding
week of 1941," the review said.
"Since the price rise over the period
ranged close to IS per cent, this
comparison represented a rather
sharp decline in physical volume" +"
Loss of sales of automobiles, tires,
typewriters and several other high
price items began to reflect In re-
tail sales totals, Dun & Bradstreet
said, as forward buying simmered
down.
The decline in anticipatory buy
ing contrasted with an uptrend in
sales of quality goods.
The biggest activity was noted
in personal merchandise. and there
was a brisk demand for linens and
housewares. Women's apparel lines
attracted considerable interest. al
though mems clothing moved more
slowly.
Regional percentage gains in sales
over last year included New England.
2 to 4; South, 3 to S: Middle " i,
I to 3, and Pacific Coast, Q to 6.
Mild declines we're: East, to 5
per cent; Southwest, to 8, and
Northwest, to 6.
Wholesale markets were quiet as
far as new business was concerned,
although shipments were we'll ahead
Of last year in many lines.
There continued to be some un-
certainty over the price adjustments
required and not all sellers were
prepared to quote prices on the
new basis.
