I'VE can well be proud Of the
efficient work of the men under

hot and trying period. They were
unfailing in their good nature
and courtesy.

to the men who labored so dill
gently to keep the streets cleared

of cars blocking the lanes OF
traffic, the city would have sllf-

Fred v. Hetzel, director Of the
USES for the District, reported
that the strike had a serious
effect on job placements made
during July. A 43 per cent drop
in placements was recorded In
July as against placements made
in June, he said.
He said a survey conducted by
his Office indicated that 10 per
cent of employed persons were
dependent upon public transpor-
tation to reach their jobs. The
most seriously affected group
during the strike were domestic
and unskilled workers, he said.
However. the transit strike did
not stop the. upward trend in
Washington area employment
during July. he reported. A gain
Of 800 in employment was re-
ported for July while unempicy-
ment dropped from 16,500 to
400.
Biggest employment increase
was in Federal work where 3,70O
more persons were put on the
payrolls during July. This gain
was offset by a decline of 1000
workers in service industries
with lesser losses in manufac-
turing and other industries.

He is district engineer in charge
of the local Office of the Surface
Water Branch. of the Water Re-
sources Division of the Geolo-
gical Survey of the Interior De-
partment.
What the Geological Survey
wants to know is how many
cubic feet per second are flowing
down the Potomac. To find out,
they send down an instrument
that looks like a wind-gauge,
attached to heavy weight. The
line attached tells them how
deep the water is. The gauge
measures flow and relays its
data to a man on the bridge, via
the line, which is really an in
sulated electric wire.
The average depth. times the
width of the river, times the
rate Of flow in feet per second
gives the flow in cubic feet per
second.
With that data. and a handful
of arithmetical formulas. the
Geological Survey engineers can
figure out what the flow is up
at the Letter gauge, ~ miles
above Chain Bridge.
They could take the measure
