morning that the last voyageur ar
rived in Cumberland from the east
by the National highway. He was an
employe of the Chesapeake and Poto-
mao Telephone Company. He brought
word that just east of Hancock the
Potomac had overfioWed it's banks
and piled water up on the road to a
point where it covered the running
boards of an automobile. He was
probably the last to cross this stretch
before the breakaway Of the road
came.
Cumberland, itself. is in no peril.
The dam which controls the water
supply for the city, holding back a
wall of water twenty-five feet in
height, is strong. and gives no signs
Of weaken under the pressure.
That thirty-mile stretch of roadway
which this morning was Cumbe erland' s
only exit to the National highway
rtunks deserves a special paragraph.
The mud in this stretch is probably
the most persistent mud in Mary
land 1t has an affinity for hubs Of
automobiles. 1t is that sort of gluey,
clayey mud that makes sections ia
nous. To travel thirty miles motor
lists must allow themselves about
four hours.
Retail stores Hard Hit.
Many Cumberland business men are
staggered by their losses. Some are
ruined The Liberty store, mems and
women's furnishings, is wrecked, it's
loss being $25,000: the Fort Cumber-
land Hotel loss is $4,000. Among
the other heavy losers are Edward
Habeeb $4,000; Wilson Hardware
Company, $1,000; Kimes Bros drug
store, $4,000.
The water was fifteen feet deep in
the Strand Theater. operated by
Crandall of Washington, and was
three feet over the stage. The pipe
organ is ruined and the damage is
over $4,000. The Liberty Theater,
operated by Thomas H. Burke, is hard
hit. The piano was washed up on
the. stage. The Potomac Edison Com
pany store is damaged $4,000. 1t let

The correct tooth brush is correct
for these eight good reasons
the large end tuf

There is scientific answer for every scientific
problem. Scientists discovered that tooth decay
most often starts on the backs of back teeth where
ordinary brushes cannot clean properly. Scientists
invented the large end tuft of the Pro-phy.lac.tic
Tooth Brush. That is what does reach and clean
the backs of back teeth properly, as well as the
under surfaces of all teeth.

.S2 YEAR OLD VET IS
 GOING TO BE LIVE WIRE
Old Soldier Who Ran Away To New York Returns To ViDcennes,
 Indiana.

New York. July 2. James John Brady, the S2 year old Civil War vet eran who ran away from his Vim cenncs, Ind, boarding house to attend the democratic convention here and to see the Brooklyn bridge, finally consented to leave the Travellers Aid society at IA East Forty-fourth street.
 "They're going to think I'm live wire in Nincennes because of what l know of current events,' were his last words as the train started Monday evening. q don't want it known at home that I've been going around with a lot of women here, so please keep it quiet will you?" he asked. Brady referred to the women workers from the Travellers Aid who have ac- Companied him on his trips to NIadi- son Square Garden, the Brooklyn hridge, the Woolworth tower and the Forty-eightb street theater.
 { Brady's reluctance to leave was eX- plained just before he started when it developed that he had $20 more than the Travellers Aid officials thought he had. Mrs. Florence Grey, the mistress of his boarding house in Vincennes, sent him $40. After allowing for his ticket it was figured that he would have $7 left.

KUPECZ'S MOTHER-IN.LAW
 ALSO REPORTED MISSING

Rockwell Avenue Woman Disappears
 and is Said to be Working on To-
 bacco Farm.
 The mystery deepens. Not only is John kupecz, carrier at the New Britain post office, still missing from town, but Mrs. Freemont Barrows, his lnother-in-law, has left her home on Rockwell avenue and moved from New Britain, according to well found- ed rumors. BelNdcre housewives as well as others in the vicinity of Main street have had Mrs. Barrows do their weekly washings for a number of months She failed to put in an ap- pearance at these homes last week. One of the women for whom she worked started out to learn why Mrs. Barrows had not come to do the washing. After a short investigation she learned that the woman had left town for parts unknown although a few of the near relatives claim she is in Connecticut and living ''on a to- bacco farm Just where she is To- cated no one, with whom the Her ald" has been In touch, seems to know. It is not known whether kn- pecz is with Mrs. Barrows
 kupecz has not reported for work and number of his creditors have had no success in locating him. Post- master H. F. Erwin stated last night that he has had no word from the carrier and he is at a loss to explain why he is staying away. To date he has not been dropped from the service, Postmaster Erwin says, but unless he reports within the time prescribed for absence from duty, vacancy will be declared and filled as provided in the postal service regula- ton.

AN IDEAL TALK

A man of some prominence was ln-
 vitcd by a radio broadcasting concern
 to give a talk through the air, as in- Inumerable others have done before him | and will continue to do as long as radio radates. Like all others in a 1 similar predicament, he approached | the broadcasting station with his hcart afutter and his limbs unsteady. He was terribly self conscious. and felt certain he would make a fool of him self. He was sorry he had ever gone in for the thing and several times was on the point of breaking the engage ment.
 He arrived at the studio" and noiselessly wended his way over the plush carpets. It was not only new world to him. but it devastated his in tcllcct. He couldn't remember half the things he was going 10 talk about Every moment his condition became worse.
 The announcer operating the broad casting apparatus bcamcd all engaging smile, which was intended 10 place the bashfnl visitor at ease. It apparently didn't.
 Would he be seated? Yes.
 And then the broadcastcr engaged the great man in conSersation-a preliminary talk before the ordeal was 10 begin.

The Progressive convention opens in Cleveland on July i. This is the time and place where Senator La Toilette is expected to be named as the presidential candidate on third ticket. The convention will give both Republicans and Democrats something to worry about. Leaders in both parties are hoping more votes will be lured from the opposing camp than from their own. If this third ticket scheme goes through as planned it will add a spice of exceptional interest to the returns in November. It will put severe crimp in thN gentle art of frecasting who will win, which will no longer be a safe tld sane oc- cupation.

 Brady's chief wonderment at life in New York. after an absence of 69 years. was what he regarded as the excessive prices charged for food.
