Bank Holiday for
1ODayS Declared
In Flooded Area

Declaration Of a ten-day bank holi-
day in the flooded district of Ohio af-
fects Atlanta in that checks on Day
ton, Columbus and other inundated cit
les can not be collected Bankers here
say that while there is a considerable
volume of checks presented here on
Ohio points, the total will not be suffi-
cient to create any noticeable strain.
Cincinnati is a reserve city, and
many of the Atlanta banks have large
accounts there. Cincinnati, however, is
not included in the holiday proclama-
ton, according to dispatches, Governor
Cox including simply the flooded Sec
ton.
Checks on all Ohio points. however
are sent to Cincinnati for collection,
and these will be tied up for ten days
possibly longer, if the governor eX
tends the proclamation.
The proclamation was intended. of
course, to protect makers of negotiable
paper which natures now. Were the
holidays not declared, holders would be
obliged to protest notes, even though
they knew conditions, in order to pro-
tect themselves. and makers. of course,
can not meet obligations with the flood
as serious as it now is.

Tornado Floods
Follow Extremes
In Spring Weather

To the fact that. in the months be-
tween winter and summer, one part OF
the country may be experiencing warm
weather while another section not far
removed may still have winter temper
atures, Forecaster NonHerrmann, OF
the local bureau, ascribes the outburst
OF tornado storms which have swept
the middle West and have caused tor
rental rainfals and floods.
A sudden rise Of temperature in a
particular locality, he said to-day, de-
velops a low pressure area, into the
center of which the wind rushes from
every point of the compass. If there is
sufficient difference in the temperature
of this locality and the surrounding
districts, the swirl of winds grows mag
ically into n destroying atmospheric
demon which sweeps over the country
with terrific force until, its energy
spent. the clouds loose their water upon
the earth.
Tornado Came From Coast.
The tornado which leveled buildings
in Omaha and brought death and de-
struction to the city, later travelling
eastward and causing the nations
greatest tragedy. had its beginning in
the state of Washington about March
16, according to VonHerrmann. The
cyclonic conditions were developed in
the manner described. and moved
swiftly eastward over the Western
states, demolishing homes, public
buildings and farm houses as they
went.
When the middle West was reached,
the force was greatly spent, and just as
the surcharged clouds lowered above
the river valleys of Ohio and Indiana
they burst and deluged the cities and
hamlets below.
Hit Atlanta From Texas.
The windstorm which passed over
Atlanta was caused in the same man
ner, NonHerrDann said. This one had
its origin i'm the lower part of the
Western United States, swept over the
Gulf states, passed near Corpus Christi
Texas, and then swerved toward Allan
ia, but not with one-third the force that
propelled the tornado that spent its
vengeance upon the Ohio and Indiana
cities.
Because of the heat of summer
these cyclones virtually never happen
later in the year, for all of the country
usually Is uniformly warm at the same
time. and there is no undue rising Of
