PARIS NOW FEARS
NEW FLOOD PERIL
Seine Continues to Rise, and the
Lower Part of City Is
Inundated
ASSOCIATED Pressy

PARIS, Nov. 13.-The River Seine
continues to rise. The gauge at Pont
Royal tonight marks SO meters. which
is 3.4 meters above normal
The river authorities estimate the rise
will continue until Thursday, when ii
is expected to reach a maximum OF
7.3 meters, a little more than two me-
ters under the disastrous floods of last
January.
The low quarters of the eastern end
of the city and part of the museum OF
natural history are inundated. The
subterranean passages to the Auster-
litz station are flooded, gangways be-
ing improvised for passengers.
The cellars of the Palais de Justice
the Conciergerie and the prefecture OF
police are full of water.
Tonight rain began to fall. The sub
urbs are suffering immense damage
The river at Asnieres is over its
banks, flooding the lower floors of the
houses. The poor in the eastern sub
urbs, who We're stricken last January
are again suffering almost as severely
Many residents have already moved
out their furniture. 1t is feared sew
eral factories will be forced to close
tomorrow throwing thousands out ol
work.
The River Marine is falling, but sew
eral of the smaller places along its
banks are inundated.

UGLY SKELETONS REVEALED
BY SHIRLEY OLYMPUS

Morbidity has ever been attractive.
Humans are ever wont to flock and
gaze with curiosity on a spectacle of
disease and death. mental, moral or
physical. Witness the large numbers
who visit an insane asylum, or pris-
on, or even, for the fun of the thing
"go Summing" in the tenderloin after
dark. Such persons display the brute
triumphant in man. In such sights
there always is something interesting
to a certain class. To everybody there
is in such a spectacle, something dra-
matte And a series of such spec
tacles, carefully planned, might be
powerfully cIimacteric. But such spec
tacles do not reflect the vast major
ity of life. They only satisfy the cur
ious.
1t is the attraction Of morbidity
which "The City, has. When the Ma
jestic curtain had been rung down on
the second act of Clyde Fitch's post
humous play last night, I said over
and over to myself that it was the slght
of that poor, human derelict, wrecked
through the use of drugs, tottering on
the brink of insanity, a murderer who
had killed his wife when he learned
that she was his sister which brought
forth the applause. To Mr.. Godfrey
Stein let all praise be given for his en-
actment of that horrible role of Han
mock, but to the creator of the charac-
ter-well, he's dead and may his soul
rest in peace.

TWENTY-ONE MEMBERS
JOIN UNITARIAN CHURCH
Pastor Discourses on the Under
standing Heart

At the morning service at the First
Unitarian church twenty-one new
members were received into the So
ciety. In his sermon on the Under
standing Heart" Rev. e. Stanton Hod-
gin said in part:
1--WE can find no better guide to the
understanding heart than the prophet
Micah gave us twenty-five hundred
years ago, when he said, What doth
the Lord require Of thee but to do
Justly, to love mercy and to walk
humbly with God?' To unite justice
and mercy, the head and the heart,
the sentiments and the understanding,
is to build up personality with pro-
phetic power Such person will be
reverent in spirit but free from adora-
tion and idolatry. Alteration and rev.
erence are the antitheses of each other.
Alteration means the suspension of all
ones faculties of understanding and ap-
probation. 1t is reaching out toward
a thing because one has no under
standing of it. True reverence is the
emotion or heart throb that results
from the highest understanding of
thing. It is going out toward it be-
cause of a keen appreciation of it. We
must free ourselves from the adoring
spirit in order that we may have true
reverence"

hero. Nat Duncan, debonair ne'er-

les of failures by a college chum, who
is getting on rapidly in the world. This
chum guarantees to show him how to
make a million dollars If he will fol-
low certaian rules to be laid down by
him. He leads UP to the rules by de-
claring that the bright and attractive
Young men leave the country towns,
but the majority of the girls of pros
porous families remain, with the re-
suit that well dressed, fascinating
city man who settles down and gets
acquainted can practically pick his
bride among the wealthy girls of the
village. Here are the rules for MAX
ing a million by marriage:
Move into a little dull town.
Dress very plainly and very elegant
ly. Don't drink, don't smoke, don't
swear.
Go to church, board with an old wild
ow if you can find one.
Have many serious books and
large bible on your table where every
one can see them. Let the widow see
you studying all the while,
Don't pay any attention to young
women; get a job, work hard.
In every little town there is at least
one girl worth a million. Live as L
tell you and she'll propose to you,'
says Kellogg to Nat Duncan. Il don't
ask you to propose to her for her
money. That would be dishonorable
Then you accept her and marry her
and give me back the $500 that I am
going to lend you, and pay me $1,000
more and 1 shall feel that 1 have made
good business investment"
The advice of the friend who lends
the five hundred dollars works perfect
ly. The richest girl in the town asks
| the young fortune hunter to marry
her. But the play has no such sordid
! end.
The young man finds that hard work
alone can make life worth while. And
he finds that simple, earnest girl,
with no money, is a great deal better
than money or anything else.
This is a wholesome play, amusing,
pleasing in it's sentiment, thoroughly

good company and will be presented at
| the Mason opera house for two
weeks enga cement beginning tonight.

WEDDING DAY
THREE TIMES; GIRL REBELS
Phone Operator Advises a Tardy
Admirer to Ring Off!

NEW YORK, Nov. 13.-No, Miss
Florence Soden of Clinton avenue, lrV-
ington, N. j., doesn't think that mar
riage is a failure, but she does nave
decided opinions about the husbandly
qualities of a young man who, after
she has named the day three times,
postpones it and finally asks her to
name a fourth day.
All this she explained to young Alex
ander McChestney of 112 Littleton av-
enue Newark, on a recent occasion
when the young man called on her. In
effect the former telephone girl told
him:
Ring off, you're on a busy wire. I've
tried to get you that number three
times and now it's my turn"
They began keeping company five
years ago, when just is. A year ago
they became engaged.
OF course telephone girls are very
busy, but Miss Soden found time to
tell her news to the rest of the girls.
"That's fine" they said
When the wedding day drew near
they took the bride-to-be with them to
the home of one of their number. There
she found a plentiful supply of linen
bought out of their earnings. With the
gift went the expression of their best
wishes.
Miss Soden said no one ever had nicer
friends and a better sweetheart than
herself. Soon she gave up her position.
The day before she was to be married
young McChestney came to her. He
was very sorry, but felt he couldn't
really undertake the expenses of a
home in view of the high prices of liv-
ing and the scarcity of work
Miss Soden was disappointed, yet
sympathetic. She didn't feel like go
ing back to the telephone office and
agreed that the day should be post
poned. Y 81 I'LL d
The new day came, and with it Mr..
McChestney. He complained he had
not found steady employment and
asked that their hopes be deferred.
Still another day was set and Nc
Chestney made the same apology. The
girl accepted it, but she didn't name
another day. Last week McChestney
said he was ready.
''You had your chance three times,
Miss Soden retorted. "You didn't
consider my feelings. Now it is my
turn to postpone, and postpone it
for all time"
No, Miss soden doesn't think that
marriage is a failure, but

RIVAL RAILROAD
BLOCKED BY S. P.
Hartman Line Tries to Prevent
Northern Electric Crossing
Sacramento River
ASSOCIATED Press)

SACRAMENTO, Nov. 13.-Railroad
war between the southern Paclnc ana
Northern Electric companies taking
immediate form in the attempts OF the
electric road to lay tracks for an ap-
proach to a proposed bridge across the
Sacramento river, and obstructlonary
methods employed by the Southern
Pacific in blocking their right-of-way
which must be crossed by the electric
line, began early this morning.
Late tonight the guards were still
posted, the construction crews were
still awaiting an opportunity to put
in place one more rail, and indications
point to no relief CT the situation out
side of the courts.
The Northern Electric construction
crews were early on the scene and
soon had their tracks laid UP to the
Southern Pacific territory. Here, how
ever. they found their further progress
obstructed by two switch engines
which have stood guard since early this
morning, and also by pile of old
machinery and junk weighing upward
of 500 tons stacked alongside the steam
road.
The fight between the two roads is
further complicated by franchises
granted by the city trustees. The cleo
tic roads present franchise for the
river approach tracks expires Tuesday
but an extension was granted last
Monday night which promises to be
fought in the courts as to its valid
ity.
The Southern Pacific, on the other
hand, maintains their privilege on the
land which the electric road seeks to
cross are protected by a franchise
granted in 1866 which still has five
years to run.
The old Sutter deed, the original
charter of the city, has been brought
into the fight ana the trustees prom
Use to probe the controversy in the
belief that there is ground for a radi-
cal change in water front conditions,
change which may emove the rail-
roads from their present position of
control of the city water front.
