The second report deals with the application for a preliminary per- mit by the South Branch Power Co. of | Philadelphia, while Maj. Somervells | third report deals with the application for a preliminary permit filed with the | Federal Power Commission by Stieman & Quick of Baltimore for a limited ce- velopment between Great Falls and ‘Tidewater. | ‘These three reports set forth Maj. Somervell's views, after investigation, | of the effect each firm’s plan might have on the conservation and utilization | i the public interests of the water | resources of the Potomac region. All three projects contemplate hydro- electric development between Great Falls and tidewater. This is the area | which certain groups of park enthusi- asts insist should be preserved for | #cenic beauty. The fourth report, on the complete utilization of the water resources of the | Potomac River basin, is termed an “in- | vestigation of the survey report,” called | for by House document 308. This re- | port seeks to cover in a preliminary | way what can be done on a program for flood control, power and irrigation development. It deals with the effect | of such development on the full utiliza- | tion of the water supply for domestic | purposes for Washington and other ad- | Jacent communities and on park de- | velopment. Plan Four Storage Dams. ‘The application of the Potomae River n contemplates development of Tfour ‘Town, storage dams—near Charles | W. Va.; at Brocks Gap, near Broadway, W. Va,; on the South Branch, near Springfield, W. Va., and | |~ on the Great Cacapon, near Berkeley | Springs, W. Va.—with a total storage | capacity of 1,650,000 acre-feet. Power would be developed near Harpers Ferry, W. Va, at Great Falls and at Ghain Bridge. This application for a pre- permit was filed with the Fod- eral Power n May 12, 1927. Application of the South Branch Co., contemplates construction of development on the South Hranch, on the Great Cacapon and on the Shepandoah River. This s - tion was 1aid before the Federal Commission September 27, 1926, but an amended application for a larger de- velopment on November 22, 1927. ‘The Stineman-Quick application, filed with the Federal Power Commission De- cember 8, 1920, contemplates develop- ment at Great Falls. Congress has ordered the Federal Power Commission to grant no permits affecting Great Falls until it has sub- mitted a report on the whole water- power development program. The Na- tional Capital Park and Planning Com- mission has in process of Prepant.wn its own report on the question of park and power development, particularly at Qreat Falls.

Thin, pale people—the despond- ent sort who never have an appe- tite, and complain of headaches, indigestion, dizziness, biliousness, usually have too much acid in their stomach. And unless they displace it, any food they eat turns into sour bile and foul gases, which poison their system. Pape’s. Diapepsin dissolves that poisonous acid, sweetens the stom- ach and digests your meals. Many | thousands of people have brought back the appetite of their youth and gained weight simply by chewing one of the pleasant tab- lets of Pape’s Diapepsin after meals. It does what it promises. That’s the reason 5 million packages are used a year—ask your nearest druegist for it. PapeS DIAPEPSIN It won’t be long Don’t miss it, men now! | Special Prosecutors and U. 8.
