Mere Monda Aids in War on , Tuberculosis Separate From Red Cross; Dr. Dowtl Is Chairman; - ' Luncheon Scheduled : Tb 34th annual Christmas Seal sale will officially open here Monday, when a kickoff luncheon Is served at the chamber of com merce at noon. Short talks will be riven by citizens, and a sound motion picture, "They Do Come .Back," will be N shown. The pic ture has been prepared especially for seal work and is being shown for the first time in the Pacific northwest. As an opener for the campaign Governor Charles A. Sprague last week 'purchased his usual $10 worth of Christmas .seals, and stated that every piece of mail from the governor's office will carry with it a seal to help adver tise the campaign and to assist In. raising funds for the health work. Dr. Hugh A. Dowd, Salem chairman of sales, has sent an urgent appeal to all citizens of the city to remember the Christ mas seals again this year and thus aid in eradicating tubercu losis. ' . He stated yesterday that clti- sens should understand that the double-barred cross which ap pears on Christmas seals is not the same as the American Red Cross insignia. Funds are entirely separate and are used only in the anti-tuberculosis campaign. Dr. .v. A. Douglas, county health officer, yesterday endorsed the 1940 tuberculosis Christmas sea! . sale of the Marion County Public health association which will open Monday. Dr. Douglas' . statement follows: "An Important part of the na tlonal health program has been our long and persistent fight against tuberculosis. This disease Is . difficult to control, with its peuliarabnity to undermine the health of its victim and spread germs to others before any out ward sign of its presence can be seen. "The medical profession has always endorsed the efforts of lay workers to carry the educational campaign against tuberculosis to every man, woman and child in the country. Every physician rea lises how much more can be ac complished In controlling the dis ease In any one family when that family knows what tuberculosis Is aad where the dangers of con tagion lie. "I am glad to give my earnest support to the coming Christmas seal campaign and recommend It as a worthy cause for community Interest. Ia Ealem we have a year round program for tuberculosis prevention and control. I also recommend that purchasers of Christmas seals follow the prog ress ef that program and see for themselves what progress Is be ing made."

Gully g Studied Mechanics of Dams Gains Attention; Saving in Costs Is Foreseen ....... .... ..... . :.. j PASADENA, Calif.. Nor. 22 yp) Working on the theory that one Grand Canyon Is enough and most growing gullies take away good farm land In chunks," en gineers here are scheming to keep these gullies In 'check. ' Using miniature, glassed-in wa terfalls, they have learned how to b n 1 1 d ; economically control dams which they claim -will with stand all except unprecedented floods. - "We nsed to think that the depth of the pool immediately be low a dam should be related to the height of the fall, .aid CiTil Engineer, Brooka T. Morris, "but our testa ' with miniature dams have shown the fallacy of - this theory. ' -- TWe . build our pools of con Crete, along with , the dam." The experiment are being eon- ducted by the soil conservation laboratory, operated jointly by the California Institute of Tech nology and the federal department of agriculture. Hundreds of thousands of ero sion control dams, ranging in cost from $50 to $2000, have been built over the. United States in recent years, many of them by CCC youths working under direc tion of soil conservation engi neers. But some of the dams were washed out and the experiments seek the reason why. root Depth Is Key "We found," said Morris, "that the pool below a dam must be long enough so water falling over the dam's crest will strike far enough Inside the pool that it will reach the bottom, be turned and rise over the pool's end. The pool's depth . mast be at least one-half the depth of the water as it flows over the dam. Greater depth Is an J economic waste. ---,- ; "The ' n o o 1 s shonld have straightening sills or ribs in the bottom to make sure the water flows parallel to the pool's sides In leaving it. Morris said the new. specifica tions for erosion control dams have been accepted as engineer ine standards In California and Nevada and are being passed on to other areas through the soil conservation service's Washing ton office.
