MORE PEOPLE ARE
 FLEEING FLOODS
Thousands Gathering Belongings
 and Seeking Higher Ground

New Orleans. May 19 R-Resi- dents of the vast west Atchafalaya basin were gathering their possess sions today and fleeing from their homes because of ominous flood warnings issued by federal weather authorities and John M. Parker, state relief director. Their homes are from 100 to 15O miles north west of New Orleans.
 Mir. Parker had a score of tele- phone operators at work urging the inhabitants to get out of the path of the spreading waters. His in- structions were obeyed by residents of twenty-seven towns, none of which had a population of more than 500. The section is one the route of the Gulf of Mexico expect ed to be followed by waters from the Bayou Des Glaises levee breaks and torrents pouring through cre- vases in the Atchafalaya river at Melville. from which 1000 men, women and children have departed. These floods converged forty miles below Bayou Des Glaises. A lake 25O miles long and from Is to 100 miles wide was created.
 A sudden inundation of an addi- tional portion of St. Landry Paris, sending several feet of water into Beggs, Garland, Dubuisson, White vile and into the country surround ing Bunkie was reported. More than 5000 persons were estimated to be in the inundated territory, Rescue workers were busy notifying them to rush to the Southern Pa cific Railroad line where cars have been placed to take them out of the territory
 The facilities of the refugee camp at OpeIousas became over- taxed yesterday and a new camp was established at Eunice, IS miles away. Four thousand refugees have been registered at Opelousas. Some of them had been without food and water for A hours prior to their arrival at the Red Cross station.
 The highway between Beggs and Bunkie has been closed to traffic. It is covered with four feet of Wa ter in some places. Conditions were reported to be growing steadily worse in the section around Bunkie. Rescue workers said that the stub- borness of the inhabitants in stick ing to their homes was causing much trouble. The Port Barre and Arnaudville sections were expected to be flooded within 8 few hours.
New Britain herald., 1927-05-19

Rescue workers at Opelousas were kept busy last night and today answering steady stream of calls for help which came from inun- dated sections. A hundred persons were removed from perilous posi- tions in box cars and on house tops at Palmetto. An urgent call from Garland. where several score fami- lies were manaced. was answered.
 A naval aviator. flying over the Melville section, reported that 200 persons were living on levees there. He also reported that F others were marooned on a house top at Swayse Lake. A relief boat was dis patched immediately and those were saved.
 Two danger spots in the lower valley caused trouble last night, but were reported holding their own to- day. At Belle Helene. seventy miles above New Orleans on the east bank of the Mississippi. 150 feet of dike started sloushing. It later was reported that the damage had been repaired The other danger point was at McCrea. 12 miles north of Melville on the east bank of the Atchafalaya. There it was learned that the swiftness of the current had caused the embankment to slough until there was a straight drop Of fifty feet from the top of the levee to the river. The crevas- SC at Melville. while 1t lowered the height of the water. was said, to have so increased the swiftness of the current as to add to the danger rather than to lessen 1t.

PARSONS. HARTFORD

win Rogers. America's greatest humorist. will be heard in his own famous and inimitable program this evening at Parsons theater. ! Laughter is said to be almost as good a tonic as golf or deep breath ing, and Rogers has been caiieu "the funniest man in the world. Strangely enough the fact that ne seems to enjoy his own Johes makes them seem funnier. lie talks much as he writes, about every thing and everybody. Rogers sald {, carly in his tour that he had no message to deliver. While he IS very humorous about the french debt. the traffic situation anu even Calvin Coolidge. yet underneath there Is a fine grain of common sense in his viewpoint. And there is no greater message than the lh- fiuence of common sense.
 Will Rogers is now on his third tour of this country and the re- o,,ests for him to include his eAhl- bition of rope work have been so numerous that Mir. Rogers Will no" conclude each performance with an exhibition of his prowess with the ropes, during which he keeps up running fire of comment on all matters. His program is divided into two parts. "Europe-As you won't find it in the Guide BOOK and twill Rogers-Who is Liable to Talk about Anything or Any body"

Tail0r-made' Fags
Going Out Of Style

Factory made cigarettes are going
out of style in North Dakota, accord
ing to State Treasurer C.. A. Fisher
who sells the state excise stamps
which must appear on every package
of cigarettes or cigarette papers be-
fore they can legally be sold in the
state.
His observation, Fisher said, is
based on the fact that the demand
for stamps of the one-cent and one
half-cent denominations has shown
a rapid increase while the sale Of
three-cent stamps has declined. The
three-cent stamps are affixed to the
ordinary package of fact0ry-made
cigarettes, while the small stamps
are affixed to packages Of cigarette
papers.
Collections from the sale-of stamps
also have declined, Fisher said, each
Of the first three months of 1927
showing decline in comparison with
the same month for 1926.
Figures for April have not vet been
complied but in March, 1927, stamp
sales totaled $16,199.O8 as compared
with Sl7,1s2.O7 in March 1926. Sales
for February Of this year were
~ ,992.88 as compared with $l4.-
O73.O4 for February year ago and
sales in January 1927 were $14,698 az
as compared with $lG,9O8.26 a year
previous.
The explanation for the apparent
change in the habits of cigarette
smokers probably lies not so much
N change of taste as in the fact
hat the homemade cigarettes are
cheaper, Fisher said.
