ARKANSAS CITY SEEMS TO BE
THE DANGER POINT TODAY WITH
THOUSANDS AT WORK ON LEVEE
Clnrushing Waters Are
Being Watched Every
Foot of the Way On
Both Sides of Swollen
Stream To See That
Breaks Do Not Occur

Vicksburg, Miss, April 19.-With
the Mississippi river continuing to
rise, interest in the flood situation in
the third levee district today centered
in the efforts of the levee workers
to hold the embankments at Arkan
sas City, Ark, where more than a
thousand men battled with the rising
aood through the night. Reports
aarly today indicate the situation is
still critical.
Hundreds of men are being re-
Neruited by municipal authorizes in
southern Arkansas and northern Lou
isiana to relieve those who have been
at work for many hours on the levees
around Arkansas City, and to increase
the forces there to meet the increas-
ing gravity of the situation.
A break at Arkansas City, officials
pointed out, would flood thousands
of square miles of rich farming lands
in southeastern Arkansas and north
eastern Louisiana, including many
towns of Importance.
A large force of men is engaged
in topping the levee at Catfish Point,
Just north of Stops landing, on the
Mississippi side. Residents of a
large area around Duckport, La, are
today removing their families and live
stock to higher ground, small Sec
ton near there having showed signs
of weakening.
Major Chas. Craig. sent here by
the war department to care for the
refugees from the inundated sections,
left for Concordia Parish, La, to ar
range for homeless people there.
Relief measures for the thousands
who have been driven from their
homes in the lower Yazoo basin are
we'll under way.

'Yes," Brent said, II have to play
right after Christmas and the town

going there directly"
There was nothing more said. But
at the next station group of youths
got on and at once began to play the
mandolins and guitars which they had
with them.
Brent's father nudged him.
Don't insult me-" Brent whispered
angrily.

said you got your music from me-"
And Brent's father played and be-
came boy again. All the Christmas
tunes they played-and the people in
the train sang and there was merry
making that recalled to the aged man
the happy days of long ago, despite the
fact that his fingers were stiff.
Brent watched at first, rather dis
gusted at such a display Of friendli-
ness, for many If the people were
strangers, and then he saw his fathers
eyes and the expression there-the ex-
preston which the music gave him
and which he had denied him. What a
cold, conceited, heartless person he had
been, severe with his parents, keeping
his music solely for pay, denying it to
those whose love and warm sympathy
had given him the talent
eve had music, Christmas music, on
the train," Brent's father told his
mother as they got home.
"And we're going to have it here,
too," Brent added. "I've made music my
business, but Dad has put music into
his life. And somehow" he added,
ind his voice had new affection in it,
"that Christmas music on that dingy,

p RENT had grown away from his
family. Brent was a successful
man. He played violin in big city
orchestra. He belonged to the union
and the union backed him up and he
never played minute more than he
had to play. It had become such q
business with him that he never played
now when he came home.
He came home once year. Some
thing handed down to Brent from his
parents made him do this, although
when he was home he often was cross.
On the last homecoming he remem-
bered his mother had talked to him
about the cosiness Of home and had
spoken of the attractive house she had
seen a picture Of in the paper. She
wished Brent would marry and have a
nice home like that instead of an
The Princeton union., 1922-12-14

apartment which was 50 far from being
home. He had explained to his
mother that such "home" was beyond
the incomes Of ordinary city people
and that if she wanted him to be as
cosy as that she'd have to get him the
cosiness of millions.
For it took a millionaire to own q
real "home" in city.
How foolish his mother had been
not to have realized all that. She knew
so little Of city life, Of business, Of
anything outside her own small groove.
But Brent was coming home for
Christmas and that was happiness for
the parents. Only they did wish Brent
was more like the boy he had prom
ised to be. There was something so
hard about him. He had told them the
time before Of a friend Of his who was
getting a divorce from his wife.
But my friend is so honorable" :"
Brent had said. "FIe wants the d.
vorce as he's bored with his wife,
though still she loves him, but he is
having her secure the divorce and is
paying all the expenses, for 1t is only
fair to a divorcee to have the divorce
secured by her. He really never want
ed to marry her. He became tired of
her soon after they were engaged. But
1t was his high sense of honor which
kept him from telling her-to have a
man break the engagement would have
been dishOnOrable'
And Brent scorned their opinions.
He regarded them as old-fashioned.
There was man in town some
little distance away who wanted to see
