Two towns in the wake of the tor. nado were reported to have been virtually erased from the map while large section of another was laid to ruins. But one home and schoolhouse were the remaining structures in the village of Parrish, in Franklin County. III. The four dwellings left standing at Griffin. Posey County, Indiana, a town or 75O people, were badly damaged. One hundred city blocks at Niur physboro were virtually fattened. Seventy blocks in the residential sec tion were swept by flames.
 Setting a record for swift legisla- tion, the members of the Illinois legislature and those in the Missouri assembly, respectively, pushed for ward measures appropriating $500,- GOO and s25,O00 for relief in their devastated sections. The Illinois sum will be available next Wednesday, the earliest possible. Governor Small of Illinois and staff left for the storm area while a committee from the legislature started earlier from Springfield to gather first hand in formation of the damage.
 Wrecked In ] Minutes
 In the stricken district in Southern Illinois, the storm took it's toll in several places in less than five min utes. A brakeman on an Illinois Central train, who witnessed the tragedy at De Soto, pictured it thus:
 "A crash of thunder. preceded by two blinding flashes of lightning, after which there was nothing left of the town"
 In a mine near West Frankfort 800 men were underground. They felt concussion and fearing a dis aster, focked to the lifts. None of the cages could be operated. When they were able to reach the surface they found a tornado had passed over them.
 There were the customary freaks which accompany the tornado. One of the interesting was reported from this same locality where a rescue worker. noticing a haby's shoe pro truding from the debris of a miners home, grasped it to find Becky Reed under the wreckage. She was un- hurt.
