WASHINGTON (IP) The gigantic
job of protecting the MIsslsHlppi's
banktj nguinst lloocla hits proved n
rjoon to employment this winter.
thnnKs to a prolonged drouth. .
. . Thoiumnds of workers on the fed
eral government's flood control proj
oct have been kept at work becnu.se
lack of rain has held the river at low
level, says Col. Ernest Ciravcs, member
of the MlsslHBlppl river commission.
' Army engineers hnvo set out to
master tne Mississippi once ana zor
11, and the task of course has brought
work to thousands who might other
wise be out of Jobs.
More Than lM),noo,00(i Spent
- Somo are employed by contractors
building levees, sinking ' protective
mats of concrete and dredging chan
nels. Others benefit Indirectly
through orders for material used In
the flood control work. Engineers
under MaJ.-Gcn. Lytic Brown are In
chnrge. '
: i More than $100,000,000 has been
spent for wages and materials out of
the $325,000,000 assigned for flood
control after tho disastrous high wa
ter of 1027.
i Last your about 00.000.000 cubic
yards or earth wero placed In levees.
Beforo the Job Is finished half a bil
lion cubic yards of earth will bo
moved, twice as much as was shifted
in building tho Panama canal.
. ' Engineers aro not planning to keep
or iNflsslsslpp" strictly within the
straight and narrow limits of tho
levees, howevor. When It goes on a
rampage tho river will bo allowed to
esproad but only whero tho engi
neers want it to spread,
i 'Dolour' nt New Orleans
, Instend of threatening the streets
of New Orleans, tho river will bo "do
loured" around tho city. Tho detour
Is to be finished this spring.
. - It Is a gigantic splllwoy, largo
enough to carry moro wator' than
flows over Niagara Palls, Flood wa
ters tumbling through 16 will flow
harmlosilr Into Lake Pontchartraln
behind the city, and from there to
tho OUU of Mexico. ...
The Boeuf and Atohafalaya basins,
two lowland areas bordorlhg the MIs
niRninni on tho west farther, upstream,
also are to divert flood wators M
necessary. Auxiliary dikes are piannea
to protect lends near them. .
, Hlans Protect Levees
Spoclally-designed barges are
spreading great sheets of concrete
slags olong tho levees under water
almost as easily as linoleum Is laid
on o kitchen floor. . ' -
The slabs, Jour feet long ana
foot wldo, are wired together and
sunk to protect the banks from ero
sion. Larger slabs, four feet by six,
are laid like shingles along the shore.

LOOK FOR THE
ROUND RED
VACUUM TIN
What a rare discovery
when coffee was first
packed in vacuum! Just
like coffee, tea flavor
also evaporates from a
tin or. cardboard box.
Tea is best when sealed
in vacuum, according to
the tests of the Gov
ernment Tea Examiners.
So now, Schilling Tea is
scaled in vacuum and
what a difference! When
you try it you will know
what you have missed all
these years a fresh
fragrance, new and de
lightful. FRESH

More than 1.000 miles of levees ate,
being raised, strengthened or rebuilt,
They aro about 300 feet thick Is the
bottom, 30 feet high, and taper to a
width of ten feet at the top. . '
Levees often are built several miles
back from the low water limits of tho
river so they will not bo eroded by,
the current, -and to- give- the .river
more room to spread In flood time.-
