RIVER CRISIS HAS PASSED
The Situation At Points Where
Breaks are Threatening Has Ma
tcrlally Improved.

NEW ORLEANS, La, April 1G.--
Although the general flood situation
along the Mississippi river south OF
Vicksburg has materially improved,
other conditions in the vast territory
or more parishes are partly under
from five to ten feet of water, are
steadily growing worse. The Salem
creVasse near Alsatia, La, continues
to empty its Is foot wall of muddy
waters over some of the finest graz
ing and farming lands of the upper
state.
A large force Of men was rushed to
Kemp Bend. 3j miles north of Match
ez today, where 100 feet of the west
bank levee begun to slough off. Re-
ports from there state that the levee
will be saved. Persons living near
the threatened section have moved
their belongings to safer places
Rail Communication cut on.
At 1'allulah, where much suffering
has been experienced since the water
reached that little town last Sunday,
the flood has spread TO practically all
parts Of the town and is rising rapid
ly. All rail communication has been
suspended Provisions are about eX-
hausted and unless aid is received i'm
mediately, there will be great sur
ferng among the negroes who as a
rule are destitute.
For almost the entire distance be-
tween Tallulah and Lake Providence
the tracks Of the Iron Mountain rail-
road are washed out. ON the Nicks-
burg. Shreveport and Pacific for a
stretch of fifteen miles, west water
is high over the road bed and to the
east from seven TO ten feet of the
flood is tapping the top of these and
by tomorrow night will begin to flood

That the final roll of the rescued
from the Titanic disaster had prac-
tically been made up was the. impress
sion that grew almost into conviction
last night as the hours wore on with
out the revision Of lists adding meas
urably to total of the survivors. OF
definite news of the disaster the day
added little. Down the Atlantic
coast fog enveloped in many places,
as the reports showed, crept the Gu
harder Carpathia bearing on her the
the SGS lives that had been snatched
from the waters when the Titanic
life boats, laden to their limit, one
by one made their way from the giant
liner as 1t became known tf.t she
was soon to take her fatal plunge.
But although the rescue ship was
reported within wireless range or the
Sable Island station at a comparative
ly early hour and every wireless ear
was waiting to catch the snap OF a
receiver which might mean that the
great secret of the liners death was
about to be given up. midnight came
and went and the night began TO
grow old. and still the word had not
been spoken.

ABOUT THE PLATED SKIRT
Soft Satin Is Perhaps the Best Ma
terlaI Of Which This Popular
Garment Can 30 Made.

Then there is a type of plated skirt
which l have seen in soft satin, a ma
ter1al that takes the plating process
very successfully. This was in q bright,
deep shade Of blue, and the plaits
were all caught in at the foot beneath
a broad band Of black taffeta which
was considerably under two yards in
circumference. In a dress of this
shape the difficulty Is to prevent all
those plaits from ~ballooning up and
out as the wearer moves or sits about,
and 1t would be imperatively neces-
sary to make free use OF shot all
round the bottom.
This is the dark side of tho shield
of fashion-shot being singularly dis
agreeable to q walker, as they strike
against the ankles at every step. How.
ever, pride must bear pain. and those
who like the plated skirt must put
up with these little drawbacks. The
tailors also are using plaits, though
more sparingly. They are turning out
q skirt that has a tabIier back and
front with two deep plaits on either
side, and there is another that has a
group of fiat wide plaits at the back
only. starting from about the height
of the knees; so you see. II you
want to return to the wide skirt, there
is nothing to prevent you; the mode
OF the moment permits every vagary.
