Basic Engineering

There are few elementary technical principles and basic
engineering facts that everybody should remember about Mis-
Valley On application of these largely depends

nearly all other development.
To the extent that dam sites and sufficient storage
capacity will permit the locations of these should
up that the origin of the flowing
water, as possible. This for the following reasons:
In and adjacent solid rock foundations
available On these be constructed higher but safer
dams. With equal water flow 200 foot high dam will
generate twice possible 100 foot high dam
higher up daming and the of equaz
ing volume of flow be started and carried
out the more chance of maximum power development
flow varies much that the highest
plant stream convert only two or three percent
of the energy flowing past into When there are
enough dams to equaize flow one hundred percent of
waters energy be captured and converted into
electric And the higher stream all this takes
place sites there will be left for total conversion
of hydraulic energy to electric energy below
Control of floods also depends almost wholly on equaza
ton of stream flow This by storing spring runof and
flash floods releasing this water during the balance
year The higher up this takes place the longer
the stretch of stream that has full flood control
A. An equalized stream flow will solve half more of
the problem of a navigation channel The more dams

to do along the navigation channel

easy coverage of land. Likewise, the more times

ever it can in the way of internal
Improvements that will contribute to
the comfort and happiness of its peo-
pie. In that connection let, us keep
in mind the fact that Montana con-
tributes millions of dollars toward the
cost of running the federal govern
ment, and that we are entitled to our
share of benefits from our part in
that government. With all the bitter
ness and conflict the differences of
opinion on the question of States
Rights have engendered in the past,
one thing has been definitely decided
The Union is NOT a loose confedera-

ANSWER

ANSWER
 It has been established from long experience that accidents or fires do not usually occur at locations where good housekeeping is con- sidered of paramount importance. Good housekeeping promotes or der and cleanliness throughout the organization, eliminates accident and fire hazards, conserves space, time, material, and effort. It is an important factor in maintaining and improving morale among both military and civilian personnel.
 It is something more than mere cleanliness. It is orderliness as well. Tools and work materials should be kept we'll arranged, aisles un- obstructed, floors free from loose objects and wet or oily spots. Work stands and benches should be clear of loose objects that may fall and injure the worker or passers-by. There should be place for every thing and everything should be in it's place.
 | Consolidating some of the acci- dents that may happen from poor housekeeping you have-workers tripping over loose objects on floors, stairs and work stands; struck by falling objects or inn properly piled or supported materi- als; slipping on greasy, wet or dirty floors; striking against inn properly placed or piled materials; piercing their feet or hands on pro- iecting nails; and last but not least, fires starting in rubbish or oil soak ed rags, or other combustible n1a- terial not properly disposed of. Good housekeeping cannot be at tained by an occasional grand cleanup. It must be continuing process and be properly planned and executed. Every worker must be responsible for his or her work area, and supervisors must see that the mission is accomplished.
 Good housekeeping in the Army Air Forces is fundamental to con- tinuity of production, service and training, and must be considered vital in all phases of operation.

Leon Fraser N. Y. Suicide

NOrCn GranVllle, N. r., April -(UP)-Simple burial rites were planned today for Leon Fraser, 55, who put bullet through his head when he tired of the life that saw him rise from humble son of a shoe salesman to the presidency of one of the nations richest banks.
 Fraser, president of the First National Bank of New York, died yesterday en route to a hospital after the caretaker found hin on the lawn of his summer home here The coroner returned a verdict of suicide.
 Fraser left four notes asking among other things that he be buried in the family plot with mo funeral, no flowers" he said he had not been able to find happiness since the death of his Wife-a former showgirl-two years ago.
 Except for this mental depres- sion, l have everything to live for" said one of the notes which apolo- gized to FraSer's neighbors for "the nuisance am causing"
 He listed among his assets "good friends, lovely business associates and a good future in this world with financial ease"
 Sorry to be nuisance this way. Call McHenry & Roberts (under- takers). I have no troubles of any kind, nor am I in bad physical health, but for a long time I have been depressed mentally and have suffered from melancholia that steadily gets worse. Forgive me, please, and know that the happiest hours of my crowded, busy life have been spent in North Granville"
 One note was found on recep- tion table and the others in a bed room upstairs.
 Haven Hodgkins, estate caretaker, who found Fraser mortally wound ed 50 feet away from his palatial home, called Dr. Walter Bennett.
 The message to neighbors directed the way to the other three notes. They included one to his son James, 15, away at school, one to admin istrators of his estate and one to business associates.
