There was no way to tell how
many had been injured.
In the meantime the chaos In the

Churches, halls, homes-almost
all buildings which have been left
standing, in every city have been
thrown open. There the homeless

Sunday in several sections, dead

The American Legion, the Red
Cross and the chamber of commerce
of West Palm Beach have organized
SEQ relief workers to penetrate the
disaster zone, carrying food and sup
plies. They have modified every
possible means of conveyance and
today the drive into the Miami ter
ritory was in progress.
Virtual military rule prevails in
Miami and other cities. but there is
shortage Of troops and the lack
of transportation makes the task of
bringing there sufficient men TO
meet the situation, a difficult one.
Water supplies in Miami have
run low and power is virtually un-
avilable. Medical supplies have been
practically exhausted. Disease is
feared.
Refugees Arrive
Dazed and bewildered refugees
began arriving today in West Palm
Beach. They We're cared for by
emergency relief organizations here.
1t was not until late Sunday night
that the situation in Hollywood was
learned. Until that time that city
had received no outside aid.
Reports from the west coast show
that Tampa was dashed only by the
tail of the hurricane. One hundred
thousand dollars was the damage
estimated there. Tides were twisted
and turned into giddy whirlpools and
then rolled up in combers which
stranded small craft or sunk them.
The tide dropped three feet below
it's normal level and then swept in
four feet above the high water mark,
swapping mooring cables of ship
Ping in the harbor and flooding the
shorelands.
A hotel boat on the marlborough

down, while the wind blew forty-five

but damage to the citrus crop, now
ripening, was feared.
At Lakeland, the wind blew fifty
miles an hour and 10 per cent Of
the orange, lemon and grapefruit
crop was blown from the trees.
In Little River and Lemon City
hardly a structure escaped damage,
but the loss of life apparently was
not heavy.

In Ojus, Davie and DANA, dozens

Don't
Spend
for foods
without
flavor

R~HE art of making meals attrac-
tive is in serving fiavory foods.
In breakfast oats, see that you get
the Quaker brand. The difference in
flavor is amazing.
Some so years were spent perfect
ing Quaker favor. No other oats
offers it to you Yet the price you
pay is the same.
Quaker milling, too, retains much OF
the bulk" of oats. And that makes
laxatives less often needed. Protein,
carbohydrates and vitamines and
'bulk" are thus combined in making
Quaker Oats an excellently balanced
ration.

Try TO Do Business

BY afternoon Saturday. Miami still
had not quite awakened to the real
ization of what had happened. People
attempted to do business. Some
restaurants opened up. But it was
but the matter Of couple Of hours
before restaurant keepers realized
they had no food left and could buy
none. 1t was then that the city
came to fun realization of its plight.
Calls for help were sent out; the
writer and another newspaper cor
respondent We're on their way to
West Palm Beach with the first news
Of the disaster to be carried TO the
outside void; and from that time on
relief has been the. focus of all eff
forts.

The Treasury Department has ruled that President Coolidge's salary is not subject to a per sonal income tax, and as a re- suit he is to be rebated $20- GOO. If this ruling holds good, then a rebate will be made in the estates of Warren G. Hard ing and Woodrow Wilson, whose salaries were taxed un- der a ruling of the Treasury Department. Heretofore a rul- ing was made that the salaries of federal judges were exempt from taxes, and it is planned to extend this order so that it will inclIde senators and con- gressman.
 We can see no justice in a ruling of this character. We have men serving on the cir cult judge bench and in any number of professional posit- ions, and they must pay an income tax out of their sala- ries. If we ars going to have a preferred class, men who can escape taxation because they gre fortunate enough to get on the federal bench-many of them lame duckA then our system of taxation under the interpretation of the Treasury Department is wrong.

Life has been growing enor- mously complex in the last few decades. We drive ourselves at a terrific speed. So we find ourselves in the midst of con- flicting currents that buffet and to1s us unmercifully. We live by machines-sometimes VI find ourselves living like machines And the strain is immense.
 We h2ve become so saturated ia tn q e of machinery that man. f IS have forgotten the true goal of our existence-'tto have lie and have it more abundantly."
 Just what does that mean? Simply that we extract from life the full measure of it's beauty and truth and meaning that we do not "nourish a blind life within the brain" but deve lop our powers of un- derstanding and love and spir- itual discernment.
Hyder weekly herald., 1926-03-10

Beauty is everywhere-blazon- ed across the sky at night or hidden in the laugh of a child at play, locked in a book or verse or wrapped in the eyes of a mother playing with her baby; reflected from the jag ged outline of our lowering peaks at sunset.
 Have an eye for it; seek it out; you will find it beyond measure.
 And, having found it, you will see that life's meaning and life's truth follow close behind. All that is beautiful is true and lasts forever; and all that is true, is beautiful. And whether life be lived on a lonely prairie or in a roaring city, it has one meaningt-hap- piness, joy, now and always.

Forty per cent of American foreign investments last year, it has been estimated, were di- verted to South America. Europe received 27 per cent.
 Is it any wonder that the great republics of, the south are developing wonderfully? How could they do else, when business down there is being watered by a warm stream of credits from the United States?
 Suppose for one moment that 40 per cent of the foreign in- vestments of the United States were sent to Alaska (for that much money we could afford to have Alaska considered a foreign country)-and suppose a few hundred thousand men md women went into the Ter ritory to help that capital earn dividends-how long do you think it would be before Alas ka would be doing a business exclusively with the United States as great as the total im- port and export trade of South America, which we are com pelled to share with half a dozen other nations?
