When a refrigerator contributes

the whole family for years to

cuts the tasks and the costs of
housekeeping .... then it
proves itself a thoroughly sound

The General Electric Refriger
ator consumes very little current
because all the heat generated
lises above the cabinet, not
through it. And because its
efficient motor is unusually small.
Its roominess makes fewer trips
to market possible. All foods

absolutely done away with.

WASHINGTON, May 23. The
government has launched upou
prolraoly the greutest engineering
undertaking In Its history In the
project to control the Hoods ot the
Mississippi river.
Kvcn the construction of the
Panama canal is bolleved by en
gineering authorities to be trans
cended in the task ot curbing the
GO.OUO.OOO horsepower torrent of
flood waters In the Mississippi.
It Is designed to protect the Mis
sissippi Valley against tuturo
floods even lntindailons 33 pur
cent greater thiin the disastrous
overflow ot lust year, which , took
2-fG lives and caused a loss ot hun
dreds ot millions ot dollars. To
supplement this plan is a project
mapped out by the Mississippi
liver commission which -iB charged
wilh tho flood control work. The
two plans will ho fused into a
slnglo project by a board created
by tho new law,. . ,
No' More Levees
Tho principal feature ot the now
method of curbing tho. floods hvill
bo ahuudonment of tho policy ot
"levees only," which bus been tho
solo mount) ot keeping tho flood'
waters In the river chunnol. A now
device will be used In building a
number ot diversion channels to
carry of excess yvuler direct from
tbe main channel of the Missis
sippi and its principal tributaries
Into tho Gulf of Mexico.
Of. the four inversion channels,
two the Goeuf llasin floodway
from tho Arkansas, river 'through
Arkansas und Louisiana into tho
lied river, and tho Atchafulaya Ua
sln lloqdwny from the Hod liver
to tho Gult ot Muxlco in Loiilsiann
will involve tire building of- an
artificial river' 300 miles long,
paralleling the' Mississippi. The
other diversion channels are tho

"fuze-plus" levees are embank

so that flood waters will overtop

Allhougli tbe "levees only"
