TEARS AND LAUGHTER
ARE MINGLED IN DAYTON
AS FLOOD WATERS DROP

DAYTON. O., March 31-A family
named Porter, six in number, lay in
the Riverdale morgue today. They
left their home on the outskirts of
the city when warning of the flood
was brought there. They were over
whelmed and drowned on the road,
while the flood missed the home they
had deserted.
Harold Ridgey, a popular young
man of Riverdale, lost his own life
after saving thirteen families. In
seeking to recover a lost oar his frail
skiff tipped too much and sank,
Another youth after making many
rescues pitched into the water and
nearly drowned. In resuscitating him
persons ignorant of scientific meth

him that he was in a state of de-
lirium at the General Hospital. He
nearly died. but win recover.
All the Van Cleve School building
in Riverdale there is a $4,000 cook
engaged in the inartistic task of max

before the deluge. The latter carried
away his home and today, with
green apron about his portly form, he
presided over soup and sandwiches
with dignity unimpaired.
Survivors recalled that shortly be-
fore noon Tuesday watchers on the
bills of Dayton View, fashionable
Residence section of the city, saw
frame house float from it's founda
tions above the Dayton View bridge
across the Miami. Just before the
structure reached the bridge door
opened and man was seen to look
out, shading his eyes with his hand.
Beside him stood woman and be-
hind them in the room of the cottage
appeared another woman with baby
in her arms. The watchers, seeing
his peril shouted warnings to the
man to jump into the river and
chance being rescued. Their cries evil

the door. A moment later the cottage
crashed into concrete pier of the
bridge and was broken into bits.
Nothing was ever seen of the occu-
pants
An amusing incident in connection
with the receipt of relief supplies was
d dispatch from DR.. McGrudder, of
Baltimore. addressed to General De-
vine, Of the American Red Cross, at
Washington, and by him forwarded

that among the contributions OF
nlothing from the Maryland city was
y womans sealskin coat valued at
II 600, which the owners maid had
Included by mistake. The coat has
not seep found.
Among the largest contributors to
the eitys needs, at a time when food
was the most precious. have been the
hundreds of farmers near Dayton who
have been coming to the outskirts OF
the city every day since the flood
broke with wagon-loads of milk,
eggs, potatoes and other vegetables.
II was due to this that the mortality
among the infants, dependent entire
~ upon milk for sustenance, has not
been large.

Rural Fire Insurance.

The Times printed recently letters
from owners of rural dwellings who
complained that the fire insurance
companies made no distinction in their
rates between buildings in the country
we'll protected against fire and those
that are neglected. 1t may interest
such owners to know that the Under
writer's Association of New York State
located at Syracuse which establishes
the rates for fifty-two counties in this
state, has for a year past had under
consideration schedules for rural risks
penalizing defective conditions-yas, for
example, brick chimneys not built on
solid foundations-and giving credit
for good fire protection, such as the
proper attachment of lightning rods
This information comes from Superin
tendent w. T. Emmett, of the state
insurance department.-New York

Badness Cured by Freezing

Can badness be cured by cold at
mospheric treatment? This is a ques-
ton that has been occupying the at
tention of scientists.
Sir Ernest Shackleton the explorer
laid stress upon the fact that many OF
the men in his expedition before theil
sojourn in the Antarctic regions We're
|remarka BILE for the thfnness of theil
locks. They had barely been a few
weeks in the frozen South however
than their hair began to grow, and
when they returned from their eXpedi-
tion all had hair remarkable for its
thickness and luxuriance.
1t has been remarked also that
nearly all the men who work tht
greater part of the day in cold-storagt
rooms have good heads of hair.
The laws of Nature would seem t.
emphasize the fact that cold is favor
able to the growth of hair. Take the
case of the animals. In no countries
of the world is their fur so thick ant
luxuriant as in the frozen Arctic re-
gions. By a special dispensation oil
