PAGE 2 MEASI'R'NG THE DAN'S WATER FLOW 1 Provision Made For Improving t Stations At Francisco. As- , bury and Pine Hall—War Department Is Making Srrvey- The water resources and en gineering division of the De partment of (' >nserv'ation and Development announces that improved provisions have been made for stream gaging on the Dan River system in Stokes ;ind Rockingham counties. This has involved the equip ping of the station at Francisco, established in 1924, with r.*-' cording instrument installed in a concrete shelter house, and the establishment of a new station at Leaksville on the Dan River and a second one on the Mayo river near Price The purpose of these stations is to obtain daily records of water level and flow. In the installation of gaging stations there arc certain natu- ral requirements in the way of lot 1 ation features which only the engineers know about. * Finding these, it is necessary j ? to build a combination shelter! house and stilling well which ' has connection through an in take pipe to the water in the j stream. An automatic recording in strument is then installed in the shelter house which is acted % upon by a float resting on the!" water in the stilling well. Aj * high grade clock takes care of t ' the time, and the result is that 1 a pencil traces a curve on a roil 1 of paper, thus producing a rec- 1 ord of the stage or depth of! water- Most of the recording J * instruments now being install-1 ( «d are of the type that operate j 1 sixty days after being set., ' Engineers must visit the sta- j 1 tion when the river is at differ- 1 fnt stages to determine the! 1 velocity and other information,' nec essary to calibrate the sta- i' tion. Records to be obtained will be 1 ot use in connection with stud-It i«-s of power possibilities, flood jf protection, water supplv, r bridge design, highway aria j J railroad location. Power is the r rincipal impetus t> the work 1 being done now, and it is in-' ten stiiiy t i n-1e that attention has born focused o'' the Dan River in that connection since the puw. r survey made by th • water resources and engineer-, ing division in 102:5. A second survey is now beinu made by the Engineer Corps of ■ the War Department acting through its District oflice i:t' Norfolk and it is this agencv which is bearing the greater! share of the cost of the Dao ' I River stream gaging at the present time. The construe-, tion work and the maintenance \ operation of the stations are under the direction of the U- S. I Geological Survey district office' at Asheville in c harge of E. D. j Burchard, District Engineer. The Department of Conser vation and Development wa» responsible for the establish-1 ment and financing of the three originial stations on the Dan River at Asbury, Francisco, and Pino Hall, but it is not par- ticipating at this time to any great extent in the financing of present system of sta tions- Hewevor, there is a pos sibility that in time the De partment may have to assume the greater part of the cost of operation in order to keep the records going as, in general, Army Engineer funds are available for such work only so long as survey and improve ment projects are active. The Department and the Sur vey are now operating some stations from which Armv funds were withdrawn slightly more than a year after their ] establishment. Such record* are too short to be of general , value to the State. However, i so far as the Dan River group | ol" Stations is concerned, the records being obtained in the meantime will be available for issuance by the Department in the same manner that they are from regular stations- It is interesting to note the Department and the U- S. Geo logical Survey are now co-oper atively operating 72 stream gaging stations at a-s many points in the State. This is an increase of 51 stations over the number in operation ten years ago. Corbett Bennett Takes First Prize Corbett Priddy. of Stokes, was winner of the first prize in a fiddlers' contest last Friday held at South Fork school in Forsyth county. The conven tion of the fiddlers was held under the auspices of the Pa rent-Teacher Association- In the violin contest W. A-!

Whoever heard of a sardine's entering into any food combination without giving it a little fillip which makes it a dis tinctive contribution lo the world of good cooking. At a home dinner, an informal afternoon tea or a formal dinner the sardine ii equally at home. Sophisticated Recipes For instance, Russian Sardines •re simple to make and delicious. Put a can of sardines in hot water, and boil it for fifteen minutes. Remove from the water and open, being careful that the oil doei not spurt out on your hand. Empty the sardines onto a glass dish and sprinkle liberally with grated orange peel. WEDNESDAY.

Roll ordinary biscuit dough out until one-fourth inch thick and cut int«"» circles two and one-half inches if» diameter. Put a teaspoonful of the sardine mixture on half the circles and moisten the edges. Put the other circles on top and press the edges together with a fork. Bake as usual in a hot oven for twelve to li fteen minutes. These are par ticularly nice for tea. Sardines can he used alone or in combination with oysters in a fish cocktail. The sardines may be arranged around the edge of the glass with the little oysters in the middle and the sauce on the oysters*
