STORM DESTROYS
BIG LOT OF CAT
FIVE GALLONS CAT SPILLED
WHEN TREE FALLS
ACROSS ROAD
BIG STORM DAMAGE
When High Wind Hits COlum-
bus Thursday Night.-Dam-
age Done in Various Sec-
tons of the City.

The outstanding disaster" Of the
terrific storm which swept over CO.
lumbus and vicinity Thursday night
about 7:l5, was the smashing Of a
5-gallon container of "cat" when a
huge tree fell across the Macon road
just west of the county bridge.
1t was total loss and the owner
made his getaway without his iden-
tity being revealed. Evidently the
vehicle in which he was conveying the
liquor either to his home or to market
suffered as crushing blow as the
big 5-gallon container. But the wreck
and debris was cleared away before
it was discovered.
The road was saturated with the
liquor and its aroma attracted quite
crowd Friday morning. The spec
tators chanted woeful requiem over
the "ruins." AS they viewed the
ruins of five good gallons of perfectly
horrible "cat' they vowed eternal
and everlasting opposition to Mr..
Volstead and his vaudeville act.
The storm which came out Of the
northwest threatened to assume seri-
Gus proportions, and it looked for a.
while like this city and section would
be in the throes of real tornado.
The wind shifted, however, and the
storm soon abated though after doing
considerable damage in various sect
ions of the city.
Out in East Columbus the home Of
Mr.. John Tennison was struck by
tightening, but only nominal dam
age resulted.
AT the corner Of North Second
Avenue. and Sixth street huge tree
was upfooted and fell across the
street, and trees were torn from their
moorings in various sections Of the
city.
In the business district big bill
board section was torn from the front
wall of the ruins of the Mayo corner
building, and the plate glass sections
in the windows Of w. C. Beard, Inc.
were torn from their fastings.
On the river front the handsome
home of Mr.. Ira CASTOR sustained
more or less injury. Window panes
were broken out and huge pecan
tree in the yard was blown down.

RARE HONOR FOR
COL. E. /. LINCOLN
ELECTED HONORARY PAST
GRAND MASTER OF
THE MASONS
AT GRAND LODGE
Has Been a Member Of The Fra
ternity for More than Fifty
Years.-His Election is
Rare Distinction.

A Columbian, Col C. L. Lincoln
was the recipient of rare honor
the past week by the Grand Lodge Of
Masons of Mississippi in session in
Jackson.
Col. Lincoln was elected Honorary
Past Grand Master Of the order, an
honor which is regarded as a dis
tinction Of the highest order and
which comes to few men.
In recognition of his fine and
splendid long record Of service as a

more than fifty years Col. Lincoln
has been a member of the Masonic
fraternity and for this long and dis
tinguished record the order conferred
one of its highest honors on him.
Col. Lincoln attended the first
Grand Lodge in 1876 and he has been
more or less regular attendant
since that time. While in Jackson
the past week he made a little survey
of those present at the Grand Lodge
and he was the only member present
who was in attendance upon the
1876 session.
Col. Lincoln is also prominent in
the Odd Fellow fraternity, being
Past Grand Master of Mississippi Of
that order.
His many friends congratulate him
on the rare honor which has come to
him. 1t came as a complete surprise
to him for he had not been apprised
Of the intended action of the Grand
Lodge prior to the actual passing Of
the resolution, and he did not know
of the honor that had been conferred
upon him until the next day.
Other Columbians were honored
with positions Of trust in the order
Mr.. Z. H. King was appointed DI-
trict Deputy Grand Lecturer and Mr..
w. H. Carter was elected Grand Lee

STATE DIRECTOR
COMMENDS WORK
DIRECTOR F. ]. UNDERWOOD
ENTHUSIASTIC OVER
WELFARE WORK
PLANS FOR FUTURE
Says Lowndes County Is Doing
Pioneer Work in Medical
Inspection Work in
the Schools.

Doctor +. ]. Underwood, State
Director of Child Welfare, who was a
visitor in Columbus the past week,
took occasion to pay glowing tribute
to the work being accomplished in
Columbus and Lowndes county in the
medical inspection activities in the
public schools.
Doctor Underwood stated that he
was we'll pleased with the results of
the work here, and said that satisfac-
tory progress was being made.
He stated that Lowndes county and
a few other counties in Mississippi
were doing pioneer work in free med
ical inspection in the schools, and that
these counties had taken great for
ward step in social welfare work.
Under the plan of medical inspec-
ton in the public schools Of the State,
provision for which was made in an
appropriation of $4,000 by the last
legislature, the children, in every
county and community making the
necessary local appropriation of sup
Elementary funds, would be given free
medical examination every three
years.
For instance, the State and Federal
funds available for this work are suf-
ficient to make a complete medical in
spection in all of the schools every
three years under the progressive
plan of organization.
When asked as to the plan Of sus-
tanning the work after the periodical
inspections are made, Doctor Under
wood stated that follow-up work
would be organized in the various
communities. Trained community
welfare nurses will be employed,
whose duty 1t will be to follow up the
work of the inspection process, and
give aid and advice to the parent by
personal visitation. She will devote
her entire time to this work, and will
be in a position to render valuable
service to the people of the community,
Doctor Underwood is very enthu-
siastic over the prospects for larger
and broader development of the Child
Welfare work in Mississippi, and said
that it would result in incalculable
good to the people of the State.
He said that the Selective Draft re-
vealed a remarkable and deplorable
physical deficiency in the young man
hood of the Nation, and declared that
the medical inspection in the schools
eventually would remedy this unfor-
tunate condition and reduce physical
deficiency to a minimum. He said
that the Child Welfare work was fun
damentally and basically remedial at
the stage of life when it is the most
susceptible to correction.
Doctor Underwood was in confer
ence with Doctor Blanche Horner,
county director Of Child Welfare
work, while here, and outlined and
discussed plans for the work during
the remainder of the inspection.

would give the greatest possible
chance of success. Finally it was

STATE ASSEMBLY

Denver, April .. The fight over the
preservation or abolition of the Colo
RADIO state railroad commission center
cd on a new angle in the general as
sembly today when the bill providing
abolishment came up for consideration.
1t became apparent after some argu-
mcnt that supporters of the measure
were unable to muster enough votes to
win out on a vote. Should this situa-
tion continue, it is predicted, the mea-
sure will be continued over from day
to day until the end of the session
and die a natural death.
The fight to abolish the railroad
commission has been one of the longest
and bitterest of this session of the leg
islature. The measure has resolved
itself into a contest for or against the
construction OF the Moffat tunnel to
link the continental divide.
