ASCUNC|ON DEATH
 LIST IS GROWING
South American City Reports
 Storm Death Toll 200

Asuncion, Paraguay, Sept. 23 Pl- Latest estimates say that the num- ber of persons killed during the hurricane which swept the town of Encarnacion Monday night likely will pass the 200 mark. Some esti- mates place the death list as high as $500. Persons who were injured are reported to be dying hourly.
 A despatch from the military commander at encarnacion says that 100 bodies already have been found and buried and the work of extricat- Ceeding. The commercial center of the city, seven streets long and four wide, is a mass of ruins. Through out the city more than 400 buildings were leveled and the streets are strewn with bricks. timber, trees and household goods. The scarcity of food is being felt. A train with re- lief supplies was blocked by debris on the railroad tracks, but finally was able to reach Encarnacion. Many families are homeless and destitute and funds for their relief are being raised throughout the country. An appropriation of 60O,- 900 pesos, for urgent relief meas ures has been issued by President Ayala. The property damage is still estimated at more than s1,o00,000.

 FLYING, ITS VETERAN LEADER SAYS
Memorial Considered

''The selection of the spot for the tablet now is being considered. The size will be about by Az feet and the National Women's Relief corps has agreed to place the funds for the entire expense in the hands of the commander as soon as an estimate can be determined by the commit tee, which consists of the secretary of war, secretary of the navy, and the fine arts commission, in con- nection with the committee of the Grand Army of the Republic.
 AS the years roll on, the impor- tance of this tablet will grow as one of the greatest sidelights along our way, and the location is superb for this holy purpose.

STYLE EXPERT ON
 CLOTHES FOR MEN
He Predicts Dazzling ColOrS
 Will Be Much Worn

Philadelphia Sept. 23 Cp - Bold color need no longer be forbidden indulgence in mems wear. To the contrary, within a year, it was pre- dicted at yesterdays session of the annual convention of the national association of retail clothiers and furnishers, stylishily dressed men will be wearing rich reds, greens, tans and blues.
 Authority for the forecast of the masculine invasion of color came from Captain J. A. Murdock, of Lon don. England, and was concurred in by the style committee of the asso- citation. Captain Murdock was a guest of the committee.
 The spring and summer suits for men would appear in beet-root red; tay silver and harrow blues; roam, cellar and tan: greens, and corn shades, the Londoner declared, and he said they would be as popular as the orthodox blue serges, grays and browns to which men had long been accustomed.
 Captain Murdocll explained that the new pastel colors now appearing in mems soft hats. were indicative of the shades men would wear in suitings during 1927.
 Captain Murdock said the athletic silhouette, with broad shoulders and 8, more or less defined waistline, would be the predominating infiu ence in mems styles for the coming year. The new evening tail coats, he said, would reflect the style worn in 1S40, with short, small, square lapels, giving a, long line to the front.

Has Few RaCquets But fl
 Trunks Leaving Paris

Havre, France. Sept. 23 P,-The French line steamer Paris sailed to- day with Suzanne Lenglen and her II trunks crammed with the latest French modes. The queen of the tennis courts is starting on her in- vasion of America, both as a pro- fessional racquet wielder and the protrayer of French fashion. In this latter respect 1t was noted that Suzanne carried with her only four racquets.
 How is your tennis?" Mile. Leng- len was asked just before her de- parture.
 T don't know; I haven't played you should see that black and white evening dress of mine. It is a masterpiece"
 Suzanne is keen for Jack Demp- sey to defeat Gene Tunney at Phil adelphia tonight.
 'I do hope Mir. Dempsey is vic torious over MT. Tunney," declared the peerless one. He is such a refined gentleman. I really don't know where people get that man. eating idea about him. While MT. and Mrs. Dempsey were in Paris I had luncheon with them, and if Mir. Dempsey's ring tactics are as nice as his table manners he is sure to win"
 As the French girl entered her stateroom she seemed to be in splendid health and spirits--in fact she asserted that she never felt bet ter in her life. She occupies one of the best cabins on the liner. It had been converted into a bower of flowers by order Of Charles c. Pyle, the American sports impressario, who was responsible for getting Suzanne to forsake the amateur ranks and become professional. MT. Pyle has given instructions that fresh flowers and champagne be placed in her cabin each day during the journey 10 New York.
 Mile. Lenglen took aboard 25 dolls representing herself. each wearing her famous headband. She pro- poses to auction them at the ships concerts.
 Although not a single official of the French Tennis Federation bade her adieu either in Paris or hSvre, there were crowds Of friends at both places to give her q hearty sendoff. In addition when she arrived on board the steamer there were many telegrams awaiting her and flowers,

Inman Denies Organiza- tion Will Cease to Func- tion Now-26,OOO Wid- Ows of Veterans Still Survive-LOgan Memo rial Tablet.

Des Moines, Iowa, Sept. 23 R- John B. Inman, commander-in-ch chief of the Grand Army of the Republic. delivering his report at the 6Oth annual G. A. R. encampment here today, declared the organization would not combine with any other, nor cease to function now, but go down with colors flying"
 For all," he said, "the end of the long trail is nearing. But we must march on and on to the fulfllment and completion of our patriotic course. We do not wish to amalga- mate with any other society; we have taken our place In the history of the republic; we know the task We were set to do and know that we did it. The Grand Army of the Re public always has been right We must go down with colors flying; and we beseech. as did they of old, Let thy servants depart in peace
 And now the time is come when the mantle of greatness must be placed upon other shoulders. l will say au revoir but not goodbye for I hope to meet and greet you In other encampments. so long as I am able to make my pilgrimage to these sacred shrines. l did the best that I knew; would that I could have done better.
 "It has been a year of intermingled sorrow and joy. Sorrow at the stu pendous number of comrades who have reached the rivers brink and have crossed over and rejoicing, in the thought that the deeds of these men forever shall stand out in bold relief on the escutcheon of the na- tion's greatness.
 Ambition Realized
 My supreme ambition was to see passed our exclusive Civil war pen sion bill. On July 3, 1926 such a measure was signed by the presi- dent and became a law. The esti- mated cost for the first year is S16,- 000,000 for the increases. The sav- ing of the SIP rating which remains undisturbed is one of the high points, as about half Of the survivors already are In the classification, and the balance are being accepted as their falling strength entities them to such consideration.
 "The increase Of the $50 com rades to S65 is a substantial raise.
 q was surprised that 26.000 widows survive-who were the wives of Union soldiers while they were in the Civil war service. They get $50. The army purses get $50.
 "A resolution passed congress and was signed by the president June r, 1920. instructing the war depart ment to accept from the commander in-chief of the Grand Army of the Republic a tablet showing the Logan general order establishing Memorial Day inscribed thereon. to be locat- ed in the amphitheater of Arlington national cemetery, Virginia.

He is still under the shadow Of the great sorrow due to the death or his 1s-year- old bride four months after his marriage. It is said that he was influenced In accepting MT.
