Ol’ Man River JFins In Fight on Town 1 .. ■ ■ ■ Louisiana Village Gives Up p 'After 100-Year Battle. Dl . ” VIDALIA, LA.—Ol* Man River has been browbeating this town for more than 100 years, but he’s going to be fooled soon. f. The big yellow currents that crush against Vidalia's levees will pound in vain, for soon Vidalia won’t be there. They’re moving Vidalia back a quarter-rpile, and the currents can 'undercut the dikes and the dikes can slither into the river—Vidqlia’a; I,soo'peopie won't care. They’re' tired of fighting the river, anyway. > It’s been going on 100 years. Their predecessors and bands of slaves carted the earth to build the dikes against the currents. The dikes grew higher with the years. Sometimes it looked like Ol’ Man Ri-fir’s fight: sometimes it looked like Vidalia’s. * The river took temporary possession during the devastating flood of 1927. Vidalia moved back and strengthened the levees, now towering above many homes. In the spring of 1937 the levees mounted "agate, But the river changed its I United States army engineers Straightened the bends above the town, dredged channels and performed a little surgery, but the river would be quieted. ‘ Engineers cut through Giles* bend north of the town. It made the river only more dangerous. The current was deflected to the protection levee around Vidalia’s front and great slices of land weakened and fell into the water. Works Progress administration engineers moved into the front line of attack. They began the tedious process of mapping out a new town site, a quarter-mile from the banks. A new courthouse and a jail rose on the new location. Today the new town is growing; the old is moving back to safety. It , didn’t do any good to moan, “River, stay ’way from my door.” They had to move the door.

Mystery Life Chemical Is Found by Smithsonian WASHINGTON.—Discovery of a “mystery chemical” which probably never will be seen but which makes man’s life on earth possible was announced recently by the Smithsonian Institution. Dr. E. D. McAlister, physicist of the institution, reported he had found an activator, or pilot chemical, present in’ the process of photosynthesis in which sunlight is converted into solid matter by chlorophyl, the green coloring matter of plants. Without this conversion of light Into matter by chlorophyl, man would perish. He would have no green plants to eat, his animals ; would be unable to survive for lack of food, and he would have no wood, oil or coal. , The progress of photosynthesis always has been believed to be the use of the sun’s energy by chlorophyl to take carbon dioxide out of the air, synthesize it with other materials, principally water, and pass it along to other plant cells to make them grow. The Smithsonian scientist found, in a series of delicate experiments, however, that the process is 'more complicated. When he flashed a strong light on a group of young {wheat seedlings they did not start, ito absorb carbon dioxide immediately. There was a brief time lag before the process started. And when the light was turned rff a similar lag occurred with the plants continuing to absorb the gas, contrary to Previous theories. CLASSIFIED ADS SELL GOODS
