New YoTk.-Mrs. Hilda Simons of
Britton street, Concord, Staten island
called at police headquarters in Staple
ton, and asked help in looking for her
16-year-Old daughter Hilda, who had

Nothing has been seen or heard of
her by her mother since.
When she left home she wore a
black dress, a tan coat and big black

When Mrs. Simons was seen she

On the first occasion she was found
riding IN a trolley car in Port Rich

baby the most widespread hail

1t is impossible to estimate the

1T no doubt amounts to manv
thousands of dollars, as in some
locall'1es crops, especially cot

was only partial. Some farmers

who sustained loss carry hail in

The storm was more severe
ana the stones larger in some
sections than in others. In ad.
dit'on to the beating down of
crops, trees were stripped of their
foliage by the stones in many
places.

AS part of the above outlet plan,

the flow into Cypress Slough, as the
