Beaumont, TeX.-A telephone mes
sage from DeQuincy, so miles to the
north of Lake Charles, says that six
persons were killed in the storm.
According to stories told by train
men and passengers on Southern Pa
cific train No. 5, which reached here
from New Orleans nearly four hours
late, Lake Charles and vicinity suf-
fered great damage from a tropical
hurricane. It was said that string
of freight cars, part of another train.
had been blown into the rear coaeh
of train No. 5, smashing the car, but
without serious injury to the occu.
pants.
1t was said the storm struck the
main line of the Southern Pacific a
short distance beyond Lake Charles
and that damage was most severe in
that town and westward as far as
Vinton. High winds were prevalent
in Orange, but no serious damage was
reported there. All wires eastward
from Beaumont were reported down,
and trains had difficulty in moving.
At Vinton, La, short distance this
side of Lake Charles, it was said a
large warehouse had been blown
across the railroad tracks, but there
was, so far as persons on the train
knew, no loss of life reported.
Reports to the chief dispatcher's Of.
flee of the Southern Pacific at Hous-
ton, said an S0-mile wind had swep,
over Vinton, La. 10 miles east of the
Sabine river, and 81 miles east CT
Beaumont. Several structures, includ-
ing a rice warehouse, went down.
A dead calm continues in Houston
with the barometer almost stationary.

TROPICAL HURRICANE
SWEEPS GULF COAST
so FAR AS KNOWN ONLY ONE
PERSON WAS KILLED AT
LAKE CHARLES, LA.

Lake Charles, La.-This city was
all but wrecked by tropical tornado.
Few of the streets are passable be-
cause of the wreckage Of homes pill
ed in the streets and tangled teie-
phone and light wires. So far as
known but one person, negro, was
killed, and another, white man, is in
the hospital suffering from injuries be-
lieved to be fatal. The Pierce Oil
Corporation building collapsed and
caught a score under the debris, but
their injuries were minor. The heavy
rain prevented a greater disaster, as
scores of homes were set on fire when
the buildings collapsed on hot stoves.
Reports from the Gerstner Aviation
Field say the buildings there were
completely wrecked. No loss of life
was reported there.

The campaign under tho slogan buy

The amount of coal In storage Is a

stating that the stocks arc unusually

below normal. The railroads have no
storage pile in contrast to their former
custom OF piling huge reserves
Tho trade in Richmond and other

difficult to secure coal for emergency
commercial needs. This In spite OF tho
TACT that the fuel administrator for

have coal from the districts supplying

(spiendid cxpressionD Of trials and
pain? Why not look on the sunny side
OF life? For there always ia such a
side. and it is Gods side and we must

pleasant 1t Is. Most Of our trouble is
OF our own manufacture. 1t ia es-

BEST TIMES IN TRYING
TO HELP SOME ONE ELSE

we are trying to help some one. Then
we are sure of Gods presence and

Can you not imagine her happiness?
These are busy and stirring days, but

which is theirs. In Pittsburgh recently
I went 10 ace a lady who was In charge
of a whole floor OF great building
where the Red Cross was working.
She was very busy, giving much Of
her time to the work. but as / talked
with her and she showed me through
the rooms her face fairly slowed with

was In the task. 1t made me happy
Just to see her happiness. And there
is something all can do. Even * you
are a shut-in, dear friend, you can
nray, and perhaps you can knit. Such
good time Is yours as you thus FOR
get your own trouble in bringing help
for our soldiers who are fighting our
battles in this war for righteousness!
Yea, life Is full OF good times and they
all are anticipations of that great good
time when We shall see the Master face
