RESERVOIR SITES ALONG OHIO Government deologlo Survey Points Out Enormous Possibilities for Impounding Stores of Water. A comparison of records of tho flow of flic Ohio river with tlione of tho upper Mississippi nnd Missouri shows that although Its drnlnngc area Iff but one-third that of the combined Missis sippi nnd Missouri Its average and low-wuter How Is 11 times as great vs their combined flow, and Its innilinurt flow Is 1.(5 times as great. This fnct Is accounted for by the greater rain fnll In the Ohio basin and by tho gen eral character of the region. In the Ohio hnsln there nro appar ently many opportunities for storage especially on the southern tributaries. On topographic maps o'f tho geological survey that cover part of tho drain nge nren of the Ohio a largo number of reservoir sites hnve been located, some of them of enormous capacity, and It Is believed Hint careful survey would show many sites suitable for dnms f tint would Impound large quan tities of wnter In reservoirs, The voliiniQ of water flowing In tho Ohio mny perhups ho better nppre elated hy noting that n dlschnrge of .10(000 cubic feet per second would In one ilny cover (10.1,000 acres to a depth of one foot.

Do you think that your mother would allow you and Mr..Travers to spend n week a 1th mo ou the farm?" "I am certalu she would not," mourned Hlldegnrd; "she thinks I see too much of Ilenny now." "Perhaps," considered Aunt aiorj. "she might be lu favor of tho Idea II I mude u house party of It, and Invite your friend Jack, as well. Aud why not have the desired Miss Harlow to make up the four?" Illldegard laughed. "You are the wisest thing I" she exclaimed. "01 course mother will be fairly eager If Jack Is to be there." Aunt 0 lory's farmhouse was a pic turesque place, and Its amusement were. many.

"'We were nlways happy Just to be near each other,' Hlldah says." "What," father asked succinctly, "about that Truvers fellow she was so foud of!" "I'll read jou Hlldah's own words,' the mother said: "'As for Hen and me, we bored each other to death; ) never knew that his society wus sc tiresome. Anywuy, Hetty Barlow U uior Hen's kind."'
