ton Of the streets, provision men and
milk dealers have been unable to
make deliveries. and many small
groceries and supply stations in the
residence district have closed. their
stock being exhausted. However, it
is expected that the situation may be
relieved BY tomorrow. but until then
over half the city win be forced to
live on short rstions.
The blizzard, which had the city IN
its grip since early Sunday abated
late yesterday and by this morning
the snowfall had ceased. Street car
ltrafIic on most OF the lines had been
lrestored. The streets, however, are
still in asbed condition. blocked with
SNOW and ice to q depth of from one
10 three feet.
One-third of the city is still without
communication and one-third is also
without light. The suburbs, such as
East Cleveland and Lakewood, where
thousands live who work ia the city,
are still isolated and street car off,
ciais say Il will probably be a day
or two before they can reach them.
Wires throughout the city are still
down. lying in tangled mass in the
street.
An unusual situation has arisen in
that the clty's dead can not be buried.
lThe condition Of Nhe streets make
funerals impossible and graves cannot
be dug in the cemeteries
There is also danger Of possible
food, should a sudden thaw set in.
The mean snowfall was close to two
feet and sudden jump in temper

of thousands of dollars worth to the

MANY WRECKS ON
GREAT LAKE SHORES
By rhe united Press.

BY The United Press.
DETROIT, Mich. Nov. 19.--Al-
though the seas are still rolling dam
gerousiy high on the Great Lakes,
most of the vessels held at various
ports during the gale of the past four
days. today were preparing to re-
sumo their journeys. Latest reports
indicate that the loss to shipping in
terests totals nearly two million dol
lars. Fifty persons are believed to
have perished during the storm. Ten
bodies had been recovered early to-
day from the wreck Of the big steel
freighter, eight miles north of Port
Huron, in Lake Huron. or these two
have been identified as David Law
son. of New Brunswick. and w. r.
McGinnis, OF Owen Sound. Ont.
Life-savers and wrecklng men to-
day held to the theory that all of the
men were members of the crew Of
the steamer Regina. OF the Canada
Inter-Lake Company, of Toronto.
The finding OF wrecked lifeboat and
oars from the Regina fostered this
belief. The Canadian shore also was
strewn with other wreckage which
indicated that the Regina had met
with trouble.
The United States. revenue cutter
Morrill, was standing by the wreck
to-day. and an attempt. at positive
identification will be made.
AS usual. the rock-studded shore
Of Lake Superior claimed the ma1o
share Of the lake disasters. II wa
estimated today that the loss to ship
on this lake alone would be in ex
cess of million dollars. ALTHOUGH

vessels is a total loss. Another shiI

NEW YORK, April 11.-At the funeral
of Cation l.. Decker, a wealthy grocer,
yesterday, was heard the voice of one of
his intimate friends who had been dead
for more than two years. The novelty
was introduced through a talking machine
record to which long ago the friend, w.
Stanley Grinsted. formerly an alderman
of Orange. n. j., had sung Face to
Face
1t was a favorite song of both men,
and during a long illness Mr.. Decker had
frequently been comforted by hearing the
record. He had asked that it be played
at his funeral service. Friends of both
men present at the funeral yesterday
were startled and then moved to tears.

The Death Of Wonder Is

Some one shrewdly said that a molecule

take a learned professor a year.
All around us nature is modestly work
ing indescribable miracles of skill The
mind of man has never touched more than
the fringe Of her garment.
The commonest human life is led in
the midst of stupendous factory where
organisms more wonderful than a Stras-
burg clock or a Hoe printing press are
turned out every minute; in a laboratory
where, with fecundity that is infinite
and ceaseless. organisms are constantly
constructed that no human craft has
ever been able to initiate
Automobiles are amazing proofs of
mans ingenuity, but human foot is

AS you sit on a bench in the park in
the spring you see the young grass grow

ever reflect what a vast word that is?
Grows. All over the earth trillions upon
trillions of little seeds are bursting and
sending up green stalks, and no man was
ever able to contrive a thing that would
grow.
We can make piano players. phono-
trio machines, but we can make no
machine that will live" that will

jaded love of life. That is because their
souls are dead.
Souls die by starvation. That which
feeds souls. keeps them alive, young and

When one ceases to wonder and begins

are not far off. They become blase,
