B—16 ~— THE EVENING STAR., DROUGHT RECOVERY IN VIRGINIA'SEEN U. S. Geological Survey Says Soil Is Replenished With Water. Recovery of the 1930 drought-stricken ound water supply in Arlington and | irfax Counties in Virginia was fore- | cast today by Interior Department offi- eials following observations made on a well in Ariington County, on which an automatic recordcr has been maintained by the United States Geological Survey | in co-operation with the Virginia Geological Survey. | Since the Summer of 1930 practi- cally all of the wells and small streams in these two counties have been prac- ticaliy inactive. Water has been sup- plied families dependent on their well supply by tank trucks manned by sol- diers stationed at Fort Myer. | Well Replenished. | Government officials said today the observations show thet at the well site the Winter replenishment of the ground-water supply began about Jan- | uary 1 and that by January 16 the water level in the well had risen about | seven inches. 1t was pointed out that this early day for the beginning of the W plenishment indicates that if th fall is fairly abundant in the next th months the existing Geficit in the sup- ply will largely be removed and the wells, springs and streams will be re stored to approximately Ytheir condition | before the drought Officials explained that as a rule there is little ~r no replenishment of the ground-water supply during the Summer and Autumn, because vegeta- tion makes such heavy demands on the soil moisture that the water derived | from rains seldom gets past the root zone. After the vegetation becomes | dormar.. hgwever, each rain increases | the supply urt’l the soil contains all the moisture that it can hold, and | thereafter fhe rain water that ceeps | into the scil percolstes downward to | the water le, or upper surface of | the zone of Sturation. This is the | water that subsequently issues from | springs or supplies wells | Records show that in the Winter of | 1928-29 replenishment of the ground- | water supply began late in January; in the Winter of 1929-30 it began about | the middle of January, and in the Win- ter of 1930-31 it did not begin until the | end of March. The Winter replenish- | ment raised the ground-water table somewhat over two feet in 1§78-29 and over two feet in 1929-30, bu$ ess than one foot in 1930-31, accorG+ig to ob- | servations made at the (overnment well, and as the result officials said the record indicates “that the prospects are | good for considerable replenishment this year.” At Low Point in March. | It was said at the department that | on account of the great drawdown caused by the drought of 1930 the| water table at the well site dropped to a very low stage last Winter and | reached its greatest depression in| March, 1931. Last Summer, however, was considered by officials as being | unusually favorable for Np]enlshmem“ and there was a small net rise in the | well's water table, which was in strik- ing contrast to the decline of about | 3 feet in the Summer of 1930. Officials sald thcy noted last Sum- mer that there was more replenishment at their observation well than at_sev- | eral other wells in Arlington and Fair- fax Counties in which measurements of the water level was made. GRAND JURY TO PROBE | SHOOTING OF OFFICER Alleged Gunman and Companion, Thwarted in Robbery, Held at Hearing. John Kendrick, who is said to have shot and seriously wounded Policeman ‘T. D. Bacon when he thwarted an at- tempted robbery a week ago, and Harry Yudelevit, his alleged companion, were held for grand jury action following a hearing in Police Court yesterday. Judge John P. McMahon ordered Kendrick, who police said escaped two years ago from a New Jersey jail, held without bond and offered Yudelevit his release under $25,000 bail. Policemian Bacon, assigned to the first precinct, and Charles Flanagan, a night watchman, surprised Kendrick and a man, identified as Yudelevit, at the door of a store on E street near Seventh last Thursday night. They said they saw two men get out of a car and walk down the street toward the store. The officer became suspicious and began casual search of the machine. An automobile shotgun was found in the front seat, which Bacon promptly hid. When the officer returned to the machine, he said the men met him with drawn pistols. In an ensuing scuffle, Becon was shot in_the leg and foot by Kendrick. Bacon held on to Kendrick until help arrived, but the other man escaped. Yudelevit was subsequently apprehended and picked out of a po- lice line-up by witnesses as Kendrick's companion. According to police, Kendrick is also known as John Murphy, John O’Brien and John L. Lee. DIVORCED ANEJ INHERITS $75,000 IN SAME DAY $12-a-Week Waitress Wins Decree From Husband and Suddenly Becomes Heiress.
