100000 in southwestern Kentucky;
81 100000 at Princeton: $6,000,000 in
southern Illinois; 100000 in Missou-

The tornado took its toll over a
territory of 800 miles in five hours
and within the same period of time
outside aid was covering that dis
lance to carry help and comfort to
survivors. The Red Cross rushed
supplies from st. Louis. Chicago Of
fered $4,000. The Illinois legisla-
ture appropriated like amount, the
southern Illinois American Legion
$4,000. Other contributions are ex-
pected to reach 100000.
From the Associated Press casul-
ty list tonight it appears that more
than 100 children and infants were
victims. Every available dwelling
was a morgue in the zone of visit
alton. Serious operations are per-
formed virtually outdoors. Columns
of persons three and four deep. sew
eral blocks long, still waited in the
darkness tonight to claim their kins-
men and friends.
Apparently arising in the Missou-
ri Ozary hills. the tornado jumped
and zig gagged. It's path was about
mile wide in some localities; in
others it could be measured in feet.
1t was more merciful at it's start
preferring to unload it's fury in H.

nessee more fancifully, it appeared.
A brakeman on an Illinois Central
train, who witnessed the De Soto
tragedy, succinctly described the
tornado "as a crash of thunder pre-
coded by two binding flashes of
lightning, after which there was
nothing left" A former war chap
lain said it could be likened to the
war zone in France; there was no
other comparison.
Human bodies in most every de-
gree of cremation and butchered or
crushed, were being removed from
the debris. Only a few have been
found intact. Identification was be-
ing made by rings on detached arms
in some Instances. Bodies pierced

Girls Club Notes

Once again have the members of
the A. G. c. c. been privileged to hear
2 legislative matter presented and
felt at liberty to discuss 1t freely.
Thursday evening 1t was the mater
nifty bill and the leader was Miss
Edith L. Soule, division director of

giene. state department Of health.
There Is probably no person in Au-
gusta better qualified to present both
sides Of this bill than is Miss Soule
ana the club feels honored that she
should be SO willing to give up her
evening to 1t. She is tremendously
interested in the project and consci-
entiously feels the great need for a
meaure Of this kind.
These legislative discussions are
certainly an educational asset to the
Club ana It is hoped that there may
b more Of them.
The last Of the Current Events
CLASSES will meet tonight at $50 p. M,
instead OF next Monday according to
regular schedule.

The little hamlet of De Soto pro-

for it was here that us men. women

| RACED in the twinkling of an eye.
Nine bodies were found huddled

thinking station agent used his cash

eXtinguish a fire.
So tremendous was the force of
the wind that in Murphysboro eleven
locomotives were reported wrecked.
Heavy objects were found several
n lies from their original positions,
and papers were carried fifty miles.
One mine clerk saved himself by
crawling into his office safe, which
pl detected him from fire and falling
walls. One family crept under their
motor car when the house fell onto
the machine.

bile and Ohio shops were total

A schoolhouse near Cape Girard-
eau, Mo, was carried away short
time after it's pupils had been dis
charged. Fate was not so kind in
other places where schools were de-

four miners were lifted bodily from

NOTES OF THE GAME
BIZ JOHN b. KELLER.

Washington entered the fray today
with two games won while the Pitts
burghs, with one victory captured,
tried to drag the Senators back on
even terms. Should Washington take
today's game the task of the Bucca-
neers would be almost hopeless as they
would have to take the next three
straight games to capture the world
series honors.

lineup was explained when It was
