SEINE will REACH
FLOOD STAGE FRIDAY
River Front Property in Paris Un.
der Water-Recurrence of
1910 Disaster Threatened.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press
PARIS, January 2-The weather
prophets and the experts who gauge
the ebb and flow of the Seine have
predicted that the river would reach
the highest level of the present food
today. but rain set in again last even
ing and the Seine continued to rise
somewhat more rapidly than had been
calculated, while some of its affiuents
were becoming appreciably more
swollen.
The river is now seven feet below
the high level of 1910, when the sub
ways were flooded and boats were re-
quired for traffic around the foreign
office, the st. Lazare station and other
conspicuous points. At the present
rate of the rise, which is about two
feet in twenty-four hours, a record
height would be reached by Friday.
The administrative bureaus are
being overwhelmed with appeals from
the riverside population, especially in
the suburbs, where a repetition of the
disaster of fourteen years ago is
feared. despite the reassuring predic-
tions of the weather men. The truck
are submerged and cellars are filing
all along the river front Troops
have been called out to arrange for
moving the inhabitants of the threat
ened quarters on the lower Seine.
Portions of Touraine and Burgundy
are also under water in the valleys
of the Loire and Saone.

courage and manhood to. devise ways
and means for the immediate disband-
ment OF the organization"
With the above conditions existing
and with the federal government and

creasingly alarmed over the situa-
ton, Mr.. Clarke's proclamation saws
that 1t behooves klansmen of all
ranks and stations to gather together"
and consider means OF eliminating
existing evils" or else disbandment
OF the organization.
The proclamation of Mr.. Clarke
calls attention to the organization of
the Khan on July 4, 1915, by William
Joseph Simmons, now emperor, and
says that these Iaudable aims, ideals,
principles and purposes have ap-
parently been abandoned by the Klan
and the organization become one with
lawless tendencies and political de-
sign," and that the end of the bitter
war between the emperor and i'm

PITTSBURGH, Pa, January q
Joseph Polito of Stowe Township
was murdered as the new year dawn

the blare of whistles and horns and
the bark of guns fired by celebrators.
A few minutes before midnight Po-
Tito went to his front porch to well
come the new year. He fired a pistol
|five times and was about to re-enter
the house when he fell with the
charge of a shotgun in his back and

when his shot would not attract at

police was bloody footprints leading

Did you ever hear of Altrusa, which
tries to do for women what Rotary
does for men" If so, you have heard
of Mamie Bass of Indianapolis and
will enjoy the more her letter, dated
July II, about fellow member:

working and have nice clothes, and for
herself, to be a teacher of English"
An eleven-year-old's summer job as
cash girl. Then the older sister died,
there were extra bills, and Emma left

interjects honest Miss Bass, "but per-
hapS indianapolis is and was no worse
than other cities"
Meanwhile Emma treasured the
counsel of beloved teacher, "Never
mind, just do your work better than
anyone else does it, and what seems
blind alley will open upon beautiful

the girl of dreams made a lasting
friend of the unusual woman manager.
Followed a period of unrest, night
course in stenography, a multigraph-

"She still kept her job at $12 a
week." says Miss Bass, "but she had
lots of time, oh, just lots of it-from
6 a. m. until 8, after light lunch all
her noon hour, and after at night on
the whole night was mine, she says.
Perhaps it was her womanliness and
her sincerity that brought business,
but it was sheer hard work that got
the work out on time. Today an obli-
cation with Mrs. Bassetts name on it
is always a good investment. Her
equipment is modern and she does
quite printing business besides the
circular letters. And Emma Bassett,
who knows so well how to be a friend,
has many friends in Indianapolis who
prize her for sterling qualities"

After you've puzzled that out, you
go on and discover on the right and
left margins other astonishing legends,
such as HAS Flown Approximately
100000 Miles," or performing on
Trapeze 1000 Feet in the Air" and
gradually your eyes come to rest on
IF Done in the Air We Do IT, with
the conviction that Mrs. Horchem
must have been learning these things
since before airplanes were invented.
Then you discover-if you're as
lucky as l was-the picture of an I'M
deniably pretty girl, who isn't the
least bit modest about the date of her
birth. She discovered America, via
Ransom, Kan, in March, 1899. Since
then she's found time to get an edu-
cation in Portland and Seattle. For
business success she's come back to
the same country. Horchem's Aerial
shows have headquarters in Wichita.
But Mrs Horchem explains that she
has to be on the road pretty contin-
ually-by which take it she means
In the sky $50 she gives her "home
folks address" at Ransom, just like
a girl who never goes even to the
county seat
In letter written in July she told
me that she had just made new
woman's altitude record Of 1880 feet
while flying at st. Louis on July 5.
She's been in commercial aviation
four years. parachute jumping two
years. (Somehow that simple record
of year or two years to learn one
new form of control over herself and
her machine gives one a thrill of
realization of the hugeness of each
victory.)
As a regular job, Mrs. Horchem spe
c4aIizes on carrying passengers com.
mercially. The last half year has
kept her at this work very steadily
On her present notch stick of achieve
ment she has chosen to keep the rec.
ord of miles flown Counting from
January, 1923, she is aiming to make
10000 miles before winter shuts down
on her job of aerial taxi driver.
