a recent dinner party:

Wires All Down and Accurate Infor-
nation Impossible to obtaln-Prop-
erty Damage viii reach Many Mil
Ilons-Thlrty-one Dead in Alabama
STORM TOLL IN LIVES.

Wichita, Kan, March 22-More than
seventy persons are reported killed
and hundreds were injured, some NOR
tally by storm of tornado intensity
which ragged over central, western,
southern and parts of eastern states,
yesterday. Property damage will run
well into the millions.
Definite information has been re-
ceived accounting for more than fifty
perosns dead, with reports from points
temporarily cut off from wire commu-
nication by the storm adding hourly
to the list.
Reports from Alabama show the
loss of life was heaviest in that state,
the number of dead there being al
ready definitely placed at thirty-one
with additional fatalities reported but
not confirmed Two towns, Thomas
vile and Lower Peach Tree were
practically wiped out. Two are dead
in Indiana; % in Tennessee; three in
Ohio two in New York; one in Mich
igan. and one in Louisiana.
Accompanying the death lists are
estimates of injured totaling more
than a hundred with additions coming
in at brief intervals.
Coming up out of the southeast ear
ly Friday morning just as spring ush-
cred in, the storm swept with start
ling suddenness diagonally across the
country from northern Texas to west
ern Pennsylvania and New York, BIZ
secting the Mississippi Valley and
moving northwestward across the Ohio
into the Great Lakes region.
Shifting winds of great violence &C.
companied in various sections by
snow, sleet and hail characterized the
storm, easily the most destructive Of
the year and rarely equalled in the eX-
tent Of its scope and damage.
Buildings toppled before the blow
in nearly dozen states and death
lay in it's wake.
The property loss was great all
along the storms track. Besides de-
molishing or unroofing buildings and

hail and sleet did serious damage to

vided. Early reports of loss ranging
from $4,000 to 100000 or more from
sections of the storm region indicat-
ed that the total would reach large
figures.
Wires fell in all directions. Not in
many years has there been such a
prostration of telegraph and telephone
service. Chicago was cut off for hours
from communication from points east.

was established. 1t will be several days

WHY HE DIDN'T HUSTLE.

j. NJ Wakeman of the Society of
Electrical Development was riding
through the South not long ago. His
seatmate was a well fed, we'll dressed,
unhappy person. Every now and
then the seatmate heaved a sigh. Mr..
Wakeman sympathized. He thought
he'd start a CHEEKY conversation.
"How's business through the
South?' he asked.
"Misteh," said the sad man, passion
ately, 'it's rotten. Honest I don't
know what to do. This las yeah was
the ve'y worst of my enti'e business
caheer."
Mr.. Wakeman became optimistic.
He told of friends whose business had
slumped but recovered. Have you
tried advertising?" he said.
"Ouah people are ve'y conservative, "
said the sad man. "They ratheh re-
sent VICIOUS advertising. Yes, seh.'
We'll" said Wakeman, "why don't
you get a corps of lively, hustling So
licitors? Let 'em go to it. Shake UP
the dead bones"
The sad man said that didn't ap-
peal to him, either. He was afraid
eagerness on his part might be re-
sented.
What kind of business are you run
ming, anyway" asked Wakeman, curl
ously.
