Tennessee Passes 43-Foot Mark and Mississippi
 Rises Over 40 Feet
By Associated Pres.

Chattanooga, Tenn. April 5.-While the Tennessee river was stationary at a stage of 4S.6 feet. or eighteen feet above flood stage, early tonight, Weather Observer L. M. Pendell pre- dicted that the water would fall at least one foot before morning. The flood waters will continue to rise in the sections below Chattanooga sfor several days.
 The Tennessee, Georgia and Alabama railroad is still unable to operate trains, due to the washing away of a long trestle at Flintstone, Ga, and it will require several days before traf- fic can be resumed. The Central of Georgia railroad is cut off from the city by water over the tracks at Ross vile, Ga, where passengers are trans- ferred. All other lines are resuming normal service.
 The damage to roadways and bridges in this section has been enormous, but the amount cannot be computed until the flood has receded. So far as known, only one life has been lost as the result of the deluge.

Calling of Election for May II Does Not Necessarily Mean Special Session,
 Says Kilby

Montgomery. April 5.--(Special.)-- Special elections in all senatorial dis tricts and counties in which vacancies now exist in the Alabama legislature for May II. the day of the democratic primary, were called by Governor Kill hy Monday
 If democratic nominations are to be made action must be taken at once by the county and district democratic ex- ecutive committees, as there will not be time for special democratic pri- maries.
 Three vacancies now exist in the state senate. W. A. Gunter, Jr., of the Twenty-eighth district, resigned to be- come mayor of Montgomery; A. ". Briscoe of the Ninth district resigned to become state insurance commis- sioner, and D. A. Baker of the Twenty fifth district quit to become census supervisor of the Second congressional district. Mir. Gunter represented Mont gomery county, MT. Briscoe, Cham bers and Randolph counties and MT. Baker Pike, Coffee and Crenshaw counties.
 Seven representatives have vacated their offices since the Legislature ad journed last September. w. H. Stod- dard of Crenshaw county resigned to accept an appointment as circuit so- lictor under the redistricting bill. J. M. Burns of Winston quit and moved to Tennessee. M A. Graham of Au- tauga resigned to accept an appoint ment as probate judge of Autauga county Henry P. Merritt, speaker of the house and representative of Macon county resigned to become judge of the court of appeals. Walter B. Jones of Montgomery resigned to accept off, flee as a member of the City Commis- sion of Montgomery, having been elected. P. M. Brindley of Morgan was killed by Dr. Solon Roberson. Walker ". Hall of Marion resigned to move to Texas.
 In calling the elections it was ex- plained that this does not mean an extra session of the legislature now, but does mean that all vacancies in the legislature should be filled during the primary election, thus saving a great expense to the state treasury, as special election can be held on the day of the primary without much ex- pense.
 The executive department figured that there may be need for a special session before the terms of the pres ent legislators expire in 1923 and that action should be taken at time when the vacancies may be filled with other offices.

pleasure and helpful entertainment in
the games, stories and Bible lessons
provided at the settlement houses;
aimless boys and girls have been fired
with zeal and ambition to become USE
full Christian citizens; mothers bur-
dened with handicaPs Of heavy work
and poverty have taken a new lease
on life when they have found that
there are those in the world who want
to help them to higher life; and the
fathers noting the Improvement OF the
members of their families, have yield
ed to the refining and uplifting influ-
ences that have been thrown about
