THOUSANDS FLEE
IN Rhine FLOOD.
Many Trapped in Homes, Fac
tories Submerged, Many
Jobless, Trains Held Up.

London-The whole Of western
Europe has been involved in disas-
trous foods In estimable havoc has
been worked in Holland, France, Bel
GUM, Germany and England. The
Rhine rose to a higher level than at
any time since the year 1874. Hol-
land and Belgium seem to be in an al
most equally pitiable condition as a
result. The pressure Of the rising
waters has burst dykes in Holland, in
volving heavy public cost for repairs
when the floods subside, in addition
to untold misery and material loss to
the inhabitants. The sovereigns of
both Belgium and Holland are tour
ing the devastated districts and doing
their utmost to relieve the sufferings
of the people. At Liege alone, 5000
houses are under water, and other
cities are seriously threatened.
In Holland a broken dyke cut the
railway between Venloo and Nymweg-
en-. Queen Wilhelmina toured the
venloo district and then went to Mae
strict. The water there is nearly a
foot higher than in the terrible flood
year of 1880. Altogether over ESQ.,
900 workers will be thrown out Of en-
ployment for long period by the in
undation of numerous factories and
the flooding of coal mines near Liege.

end have been called for this month
by Secretary Jardine, but meanwhile
members of the Iowa congressional
delegation will introduce surplus crop
bills and seek immediate hearings be-
fore the house agriculture committee.

rooms through informal discus
sions of political leaders. So ordi-
narlly social gatherings in
Washington have more than
passing interest to the nation.
Some disturbance was created
this week when two Capital So
ciety leaders gave rival balls at
their mansions, placing those
high in political and diplomatic
life in quandary. It requires
tact to avoid social pitfalls in the
Nations Capital. There is a
small group of social mentors
who caution newcomers against
missteps in their social activities.
Frequently men of immense
wealth who are appointed to high
political jobs feel that they must
entertain in Washington on the
same lavish scale as they do in
their home districts but these
displays do not always impress
Washington society. The social
code here differs greatly from
that in vogue in other sections
of the country.

INCREASED INTEREST IN WORK OF maine
PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION INDICATED
BY SUBSTANTIAL FINANCIAL SUPPORT

An increase of thirty three per-
cent in the financial support pro-
vided by the citizens of Maine for
the Maine Public Health Associa-
ton during the past year as COM
pared with the previous year will be
reported today at the annual meet
ing of the association in Bangor by
the Treasurer, Arthur Tiffin of An
gusta.
During the twelve months ending
October LIST the total receipts for the
work of the association were $45,-
SCOTS as compared with a total of
$33,615.41 for a similar period Of a
year ago. The number of individual
contributors increased from 33 to
81. Seventeen Maine manufacturers
helped the association in a financial
way, this past year compared with ~
for the year previous. The mem
bership in the association has doubl-
ed during the past year and the
number Of Maine clubs contributing
to the work of the organization is
just five times greater than 1t was a
year ago.
! In making his report Of the fin
ancial affairs of the association Mr..
Tiffin will point out that the nursing
staff of the association-which de-
votes the greater part of it's efforts
to health educational work in rural
Maine-has more than doubled dur
ing the past year. At the present
time the Association is employing
nine public health nurses as COM
pared with four such nurses a year
ago.
Included among the larger gifts to
the association during the year was
$4,000 from Mr.. William Bingham
End, of Bethel, $4,000 from Mrs. ].
c. Stodder of Bangor, $1,000 from
Mr.. Carrot Schneck of the Great
Northern Paper Company, $500 from

e. S. Woodman of Winthrop, $500
from Mrs. Thomas Upham Coe of
Bangor, 5000 from the Warren Paper
Company and numerous other gen.
erous gifts from public spirited
Maine men and women.
The financial growth of the as
ISOLATION gives substantial proof of
the increasing approval by citizens
of Maine for the practical efforts of
the Association to improve health
conditions here through its educa-
tional methods.

Florida Trains
To Visit Maine

That Portland, Bangor and other
key cities of Maine will be visited by
one of the Florida Exposition trains
sometime in November, the date to
be announced later, seems assured
from wire received Friday by Gov
ernor Ralph o. Brewster from Gov
ernor John w. Martin of Florida.
Florida ever alert in letting the
rest of the ~lo+os know what she is
doing and what she. has to offer
along agricultural, Industrial and
educational lines, despite her late
catastrophe, beginning November Is,
and continuing until March 1927, will
send five trains of ten cars each
throughout thirty states, visiting
every city of 10000 population or
over.
1t will be in fact Florida Expo-
sition on wheels.
Maine in her development program
has tried to put before the people
of the country in different forms
what she has to offer along similar
lines and the proposed visit of the
Exposition train should impart many
good ideas that Maine could profit by.
