New Castle, Ind, March 13.- Food supplies for those who suf- fered as a result of the tornado which killed nineteen persons and destroyed millions of dollars worth of property are exceedingly scrace. Three persons were still missing this afternoon.
 With Indiana national guard troops patrolling the streets New castle, which was swept by tor nado late Sunday afternoon, set tied down last night to another night of chill and darkness.
 Arrangements had been made to care for practically all the home less, churches, schools, lodge rooms, public halls and dwellings having been thrown open to them, but suffering in many cases was in tense.
 The death roll, revised showed 20 dead, three missing and about a score seriously injured, with 100 more suffering from minor hurts. Two of the injured died in hos pitals during the day.
 Aid in the way of food supplies and money began to reach the city late yesterday. The food prob lem became serious early in the day, when crackers sold at two cents each and bananas at a nickel each.
 The gas supply was shut off and many places were without means of preparing food that was at hand. Canned goods were at a premium.
 In answer to the appeal for if nancial aid, funds have been start ed in many cities of the state. Charles w. Fairbanks, republican candidate for vice president in the last election, contributed S1,000 for relief work.
 Plans for funeral arrangements, which probably will include a public service, were started this morning.
 DEATH LIST REDUCED.
 Up to last night no footing had been reported. While martial law has not been declared, the soldiers are ruling the city firmly.

 The designers, however, are dis criminating carefully between the sensible and the extreme, and have therefore made no effort to banish the very practical short skirt.
