STATE SURVEY OF
RIVERS IS URGED
Water Supply Commission
Issues Reasons For the
Complete Study
The State Water Supply Commis
sion In a statement issued to-day.on
the policy which should be adopted by
the commonwealth of Pennsylvania
for control of its streams urges that
there be made a general survey of the
river systems of the State and that se
rious study be given to framing of
laws which will conserve the water
supply and supervise the construction
and operation of works for that pur
pose. It is likewise recommended
that the topographic survey of the
State, which is about one third com
pleted, be finished in conjunction with
the United States government and be
used as a basis for engineering prob
lems.
It is estimated that to cover the en
tire State in a survey of water sys
tems, developing possibilities for flood
control. Water supply and water pow
er on each river system in Pennsyl
vania, would be done in less than five
years and at a cost of SBOO,OOO. It is
pointed out in the statement that in
some regions, notably on the Beaver
river, industries have been forced to
move because of limited water supply
and that in other regions repeated
floods have restricted growth of indus
tries and towns when experience in
other States and in Europe has shown
that the water can be conserved and
floods controlled.
"An adequate policy for the con
trol and regulation of the watters of
the State can not be formulated, ex
cept Insofar as present and probably
existing conditions are known and un
derstood," says the report. "The con
ditions which are necessary for the
development of such a policy are:
First, a thorough knowledge of the
streams of the State, so that the prob
lems of control may be known; sec
ond, general plans for solving those
problems and third", an orderly legal
code, which will make practicable the
execution of plans when developed and
\ will insure control and supervision
over constructions affecting the river
systems."
WORK ON FLOATS
IN GLOW OF LIGHTS

planned by the Jovian League for the
evening program of the first annual
Kipona to be held Monday, under the
direction of the Greater Harrisburg
Navy.
Just what the results of these ef
forts is to be, is a Jovian secret—to be
flashed on "oh-ing" and "ah-ing"
thousands who will line the city's
front steps, the parks, the bridges or
who will see from the hundreds of
canoes and other river craft.
The Secret
I* you were lucky enough to be
promenading 'round about 10 o'clock
along tlio river, however, you would
have done a little admiring while at
least one of the tests was being made.
If you were so fortunate, keep to
yourself what you saw of the spec
tacle. There may be another test to
night and to-morrow night, as the
long lines of firehose that extend from
the city across the bridges, the bun
dles of wires, etc., and other para
phernalia have been left in position.
While the electric light companv
men are putting the finishing touches
to tl;e Jovian fleets, corps of decora
tors; of Dives, Pomeroy & Stewart, D.
Kaufman stores and other business
and commercial houses were prepar
ing their exhibits.
The Lighting of Flouts
The >lne of floats which will be
lighted by current swung from the
Walnut street bridge will be aligned
from the bridge piers northward at a
point fifty feet west of the outer line
of the afternoon race courses.
Here and there on the surface of
the river from a point opposite the
pumping station to the Market street
bridge, tiny red buoys, topped with
little American flags, marked the
courses. These buoys are airtight tin
cylinders with a small flag socket
They were planned by James Shope,
one of the park department draughts
men. During yesterday afternoon the

buoys were placed under the supervi
sion of V. Grant Forrer and G. M.
Oves, of the executive committee.
The most northern buoy is opposite
the waterhouse and marks the start
of the half-mile "war" canoe race.
Delay In the arrival of the Oldtown
canoes has caused some apprehension
among the students of the Central and
Steelton High Schools who will man
the craft while a similar situation has
developed so far as the Kennebec
canoe for the Academy team is con
cerned.
The courses will be the same for
all the races and a line of buoys mark
the outer limit which is on a direct
line from the third pier of the Market
street bridge. The quarter-mile buoy
will be opposite South street and the
finish for all the events will be in the
deep water about forty feet north of
the Market street bridge. The outer
line of the course will be about 150
yards from the river wall so that the
thousands that crowd on the city's
natural grandstand can readily see all
the events. Water of ample depth
extends throughout the swimming
courses.
I The specialty events will probably
I all be run off in the water between
the Market and Walnut street bridges
or just above the latter viaduct. On
the finish line float, a big sign will be
erected bearing the number of the
event that is to be held much after
the flash letter program of a vaude
ville show. These numerals will be
large enough to be seen from the
shore. The first event will be run off
at 1:30 o'clock.
The outer line of the course will be
marked with flats and ropes and a
motor policeboat will be on the job to
see that none other than contestants
or officials are permitted in the
course.
The decorated boat parade will be
| gin at independence Island and every
canoeist and motorboatman on the.
river has been urged to have his craft
adorned with lanterns or other deco
ration for the occasion. The proces
sion, because of the water conditions,
probably will not move further north
than Vcrbeke street and will wind
down to below the Market street
bridge.
Red fire will help add a brilliant
effect and hundreds of sticks of this
type of pyrotechnic was purchased
yesterday by Mr. Forrer for distribu
tion among the canoeists. Just 800
Japanese lanterns and some 400 light
wire frames, all provided by the com
mittee gratuitously for the benefit of
canoeists who can't or den't care to
go to the expense of decoration them
selves, can be had by this evening at
any of the boat liveries.
A feature of the afternoon event
will be the aqua-planning by prgtty
Misses Jane Agnes Krouse and Reba
Whiteman, two High School girl ath
| letes of Williamsport. The former is
.the daughter of President Charles C.
Krouse, of the Williamsport Board of

SHOTGUN BLOCKS
LOVE OF 78 AND 92
[Continued from First Page]
Williams, who looked more like a
railroad accident than a romantic
Lothario, hoisted the white flag, after
the father dragged his blushing
daughter, who was with him weeping
bitterly, home with him.
The elopement was arranged on the
conventional 1840 model. Caleb had
been aware that Williams was trying
to win his daughter and he frowned
on the match. However, love laughs
at locksmiths, so why should it fear
a second-story window. It was
through one of these that Cynthia
climbed to be caught in the ardent
embrace of the aged Lochinvar.
He had his conveyance, an aged
horse and an old-fashioned buggy, and
In this they drove to the city. ' The
father, reaching home soon after
hitched up his old mule and pursued
the elopers. He arrived at the Re
corder's offlce as the swain was giving
the details essential to obtain a li
cense in a shy and diffident manner,
while his sweetheart stood coyly in a
corner, blushing like a debutante at
her first proposal.
ARRANGEMENTS FOR TAG DAY
Final arrangements for "tag' day
along the West Shore, on Monday have
been made under the direction of
George Wilson, chairman of the com
mittee from the West Shore Firemen's
Union, that has charge of the cam
paign. The tag* have been distributed
among the different committeemen In
the seven districts and they in turn
will give them to committees of high
school girls who will "tag" residents
This is the first time that the West
Shore Firemen's Union has asked aid
from residents, and In this case each
contributor will receive just reward
for the piece of coin he may donate.

Outline Work in County
Marysville, Pa.. Sept. 2. —Last even
ing the Marysville Republican Club
held a rousing get-together meeting In
its club rooms in the flatlron building.
Republican politicians, both district
and county, out-o£.-town and local
members swelled the size of the meet
ing.
The keynote of all the talks was op
timism of a sweeping Republican vic
tory at the polls in November. Plans
were made to have all Republicans of
Marysville assessed and properly regis
tered In time to vote this Fall. The
local club Is the leading Republican
organization in Perry county, and as
such is planning to have this cam
paign conducted throughout the entire
county, besides attending to its im
mediate district.
Senator J. Franklin Martin, of West
Falrview, candidate for re-election in
the Cumberland-Perry, Juniata-Mifflin
district, addressed the club. He briefly
outlined his reasons for his objection
to the hunters' license bill and some
bills, now in operation or planned, to
regulate fishing. Other out-of-town
members present including R. Jones

the owners of the three b»st gardens,
while graduated lists of garden tools
were the prizes for the second and
third best gardens, numbering, re
spectively three and four each.
The three gardens, totaling 140 lots,
one at Thirteenth and Hemlock, an
other at Seventeenth and Brookwood
and the third at Twelfth and Calder
streets, have been cultivated by fami
lies whose supporting members have
either been without work or incapaci
tated for regular employment through
sickness or accident. The ground was
plowed by the association, which also
furnished tomato and cabbage plants.
Seeds were furnished those families
ur.able to secure them at planting time.
The cultivation and planting was done
by the workers, assisted by John 1,.
Price and Leroy Howard, who actgd
as instructors.
Practically every lot showed decided
improvement over that of 1915, when
230 families availed themselves of the
or portunity to secure fresh vegetables
during the summer and at the same
time enjoy active work outdoors.
