authorities.
The river reached record stage
when il passed the % foot crest at

The ordinarily placid little
stream had been converted into Il
raging monster by general down
pours throughout the western see
tion of the state during the last
two weeks.
Damage of Millions
During the early part of last
night the reservoir wall, reinforc-
\ed bv hundreds of men working
feverishlv withstood rise of seve-
raj feet in the river. However,
the current of the stream finally
cut through the wall, breaking in
to the main body of water. The
water rolled around the west end
of the dam cutting rapidly into the
dirt embankment.
At first the escape was only n
slight trickle but watchers knew
that it would be impossible to
longer hold the waters and the
warning was flashed over the city.
Within a few moments the trickle
grew TO a torrent.
Oklahoma City has experienced
numerous floods, one this spring
causing damage of $15,00O,000, but
today's broke all records.
The business district has never
been flooded. but warning was sent
out to merchants that the waters
might reach the main business
blocks. Store owners plugged base
ment windows and moved their
merchandise to top floors.
Fear was expressed that the riv-
er which normally makes horse.
shoe bend around the business
district, might cut channel
through the main street.
Water Is Feet Deep
Approximately 100 city blocks
were under water when the crest
of the flood was passing through
the city at s 4. IN. Across the low
land areas between the city proper
and the main channel, the flood
was IL feet deep. An additional
rise of IS inches will throw water
upon the business setcion.
On Western avenue, water rose
to the Grand avenue intersection.
Further east Noble avenue was the
high water limit, although it trick
led into low points along Reno
avenue on the edge of the business
section.
Street ear and automobile traf.
fic was discontinued upon routes
lending through the flood area.
The river was reported falling
ten miles above tho city and Off.
cials expressed the belief that the
worst would be over by late this
afternoon.

 To Welfare Department

Contributions to the save a baby fund of the city welfare department have totalled a sum almost in reach of the s750 mark. for each week finds additional checks in the mail for the children whose parents are finan- ciaIly unable to provide necessities for them.
 A fifth contribution was received Monday from the employees of the Birmingham Railway, Light and Power company this time for S15.44, and bringing the total from that source alone close to $50.
 Children of the East Thomas Chris tian Endeavor society sent in $2.50 Monday, making the third contri- button from such an organization since the campaign started.
 These two additional donations brought the total received so far up to $744.14, but more will be added this week as a number of those who have previously contributed five and ten dollar checks notified the city welfare department that they would send similar sums each month during the summer.
 Screens having been placed in the rooms of all sick babies which the workers have been able to find or have been told about, the money is now being used chiefly for ice, medi- cine, clothing, milk and, where need ed, bed clothes.
 Save for the money on hand from the donations of the past few days practically all the money given has been used in providing the things needed by the sick children.
