Thirty-six Bodies Have Been Found

1t now looks as though the lid
would be really lifted from the scan
dial of the Bayless dam at Austin, Pa,
and the story told of how the dwellers
in the Sinnemahoning valley, before
their homes were given over to flood
and fire, lived In constant dread of the
RECONSTRUCTED concrete barrier that
for two years alone interviewed be-
tween them and death and ruin.
Harry w. Nelson, of Coudersport,
the district attorney OF Potter county,
said that he would exercise the power
of a coroner and would hold an In
quest on Friday at Austin, which would
be tantamount to searching inyesti-
cation of the causes which led up to
the breaking of the dam
Governor Tener Is here to personally
inspect the broken dam and the five
miles of valley over which the wreck
age of two towns was suddenly spilled
last Saturday.
While the state and county authori-
ties are preparing to summon expert
engineers and others whose attention
before and after the food has been
directed to the faulty construction of
the dam, DR.. Samuel G. Dixon, the
state health commissioner, and his as
sociates are confronted with grave
problem of their own for which they
are bending every effort to find a so.

Starvation stares the 500 families
that the state authorities are trying
to care for in the face, for DIR. Dixon
plainly stated that unless food sup

impossible to feed the homeless men,
women and children that have been
suddenly thrust upon the mercies of
the commonwealth.
The cry for food is going up from
Austin, and with less than $4,000 con-
tributed. DR.. Dixon declared that the
situation had become so serious that
something must soon be done II hun

An old man was once walking with
little boy. They came across four
shrubs. The old man said to the
youthful companion:
'Pull up the last one' -:
He obeyed with ease.
''Now the next" So,
He obeyed, but it did not come so
easily.
'And the third

roots.

In vain the lad put forth all his
strength. He only made the leaves
tremble. He could not move the roots.
They had gone strongly into the earth,
and no effort could dislodge them.
Then the wise old man said to the
ardent youth:
''This, my son. is just what happens
with our passions When they are
young and weak one may by little
watchfulness over self and the help of
a little self denial easily tear them up,
but If we let them cast their roots
deep into our souls there is no human
power can uproot them. The almighty

them out. For this reason, my child

Small substances, like cinders, dust

often be removed from the eye by
very simple means. Sometimes catch

pulling it away from the eyeball and
down over the lower lid, then letting
it so, so that as it recedes it's under
surface is swept by the edge of the
lower lid, will clear it out. If this
does not prove successful loop made
of a horsehair or of long human
hair can be passed under the lid and
swept from the outer side toward the
nose and drawn down. Better than
this, however, is the washing of the
eye or flushing with the eye dropper
Every person should carry one in his
travelling bag, for they are invaluable.

draw them away from the eye and
then fill the dropper, which is like
small syringe, with water and flush
