memphis, Tenn.-A SaDDatn scene
of death and desolation was presented
over more than 5000 square miles of
the richest lands in Mississippi and
Arkansas as the floods continued
their relentless flow to the sea.
At least 100 human lives had been
snuffed out by the swirling, plung-
ing waters since the rivers started
tearing from their beds three weeks
ago and the fate of other hundreds
was left in doubt.
Hour by hour, as the walls of
water moved across the two states
more thousands were made homeless;
additional crops were destroyed and
livestock, homes, barns and property
Of almost every description were
swept along in the maelstrom.
Urgent warnings to the people In
the lower Mississippi delta to fee for
their lives from the Mississippi flood
waters sweeping down toward Vicks.

army engineers and the exodus began
before nightfall.
Far across country in Lafayette
county, Arkansas, others were NOV
ing out to high lands before the wat
ers Of the Red river which broke
through the main levee at Findley
Bend early in the day, with the pros.
pect that an additional 10000 acres
of land would be inundated.
President Coolidge took hand in
the situation when he issued a pro
clamation calling upon the nation to
aid the Red Cross in caring for the
thousands of homeless in the floods
At the same time he named four cabi
net members to aid the Red Cross in
their gigantic task of feeding and
housing the refugees. Secretaries An
drew Mellon, ]. j. Davis, Curtis d
Wilbur and Herbert Hoover were
named on the committee. They will

has followed the mild weather during
which the heavy rains fell that caused
the floods, and the situation of the
survivors of the disaster now in the
grip Of dangerous temperatures is
grave.
Relief always flows in abundant
volume and promptly to those who
thus suffer from catastrophe. But it
must be started speedily. else those
who escape the rush of the waters
may perish from exposure and lack
OF shelter 1t is not a case where the
refugees can be herded in the open, as
could be done in the Mississippi flood
regions. They must be housed and
cared for in the face of a severe eli
mate.
In some of the stricken districts
there is danger of pestilence. due to
the fact that the ordinary drinking
water supplies have been swept away
and the people have been driven to
using other waters, which have been
contaminated. There must be thou
sands in this peril, and it is one of the
first essentials of relief that they be
rescued from ehis danger.
Red Cross relief is assured. There
may be no occasion for a public sub
scription for the purchase and dis.
tribution of supplies. The States in
which the disaster occurred may be
able themselves to furnish the re-
quirements of shelter, clothing and
food. But if the word is sounded. If a
call is made for assistance. there will
be an outpouring of funds comparable
with that of the devastating waters
themselves. No amount of giving now
can restore the lives that have been
lost, but the generosity of the people
can. in case of need, lessen the suffer
ings of those who have been spared,
and that is assured

Urges Protection
Against Temptation
To the Editor of The Star:

lO SuAtOi OA AAS SboA
While the Association of Bankers is
in Washington, at the call of the
National Crime Commission. may /,
through your valuable paper. call its
attention to the punishment meted
out to the serpent for tempting Eve
in the Garden of Paradise. and to the
part of the Lords Prayer which says
Deliver us not into temptation?
The modern child sees candy on
counters, where it can be brushed off
in passing; fruit on display in easy
reach, money on newspaper stands,
newspapers, bread and milk on every
doorstep.
ChiIdren's banks, full of money, sit
ting exposed; money in banks in easy
reach. unlocked autos, bicycles.
People count large sums of money
in plain view of the public, place it in
their pockets. and mingle with the
crowd.
Shouldn't we punish the tempter
and deliver the child not into tempta-
ton?
If child is caught stealing an
apple, he is arrested and a record kept
in the Juvenile Court. After several
offenses, he is branded as thief and
becomes hardened and goes after
larger game, as he has the blame.
The messenger, route agent and in
surance company are the losers in
many cases.
Arresting a boy is a detestable job.
And why should the police watch and
protect property wantonly exposed?
1t would seem as sensible to place
your purse and diamonds on your
doorstep and demand that they be
given police protection.
Can't the money in a bank be kept
out of sight? Couldn't money in large
sums be placed in envelopes, with the
amount stamped on the outside and
counted in booth in the bank
building? MARY E. SLATTERY.

Duck Hunting Laws
Assailed as Unfair
To the Editor of The Star

10 the EUltOr OF Inc StdE:
Wild ducks We're very plantiful and
were sufficiently protected by the
1926-7 game laws, with which the ma
iority of duck hunters were satisfied,
but, owing to a privileged few whose
ambition was to monopolize the duck
ing shores and privileges, new laws
were made under the disguise of game
protection. Now the unfortunate indi.
vidual. even though he is a taxpayer,
who does not belong to duck CLUB or
own a portion of river shore in our
sO-called free country will be arrested
if he attempts to kill a duck from a
boat, which was his only means of
securing one for his table. Yet hun
dreds of ducks may be killed daily
from the blinds of duck clubs or of
shore owners in favorable locations.
Who owns the wild ducks? Should
not all citizens Of the United States
have equal hunting rights? Under
the new law certain locations are per-
mitted the use of sink boxes, from
which hundreds of ducks are killed,
while in other sections it is VIOLA
ton Of the law to use any floating
device for that purpose.
The laws displaying so much par
tiality have caused great dissatisfac-
ton, involving the governors as well
as the residents of Maryland and Vir-
ginia. The change in the Maryland
law is the cause of much Of the con-
troversy. The State now requires a
SIS hunting fee from citizens of the
District of Columbia, and yet provides
no place where a man may hunt with
out being liable to arrest.
1t is hoped that the governors will
reach decision which will be fairer
to the people at large.

Says Mafalda's Grew
Subjected to Insult
To the Editor of The Star:

To the Editor of The Star:
In your editorial of October 20. I
noted your comment on the sinking
Of the Italian steamer, Princess Ma.
falda. The entire world, and espe.
cially the people of the United States,
sympathiZe with the Italian nation in
this unfortunate catastrophe. 1t is
with this thought in mind that I feel
it my duty as citizen of the United
States and brother of the Italian
people to protest the insult which one
of the survivors of the wreck made
against the officers and crew of the
sunken ship, namely, that part of the
crew were in an intoxicated condition.
The least that can be said of such an
unfair remark is that it must have
had it's origin in the mind of q vindic-
tive individual.
I have crossed the Atlantic as a
passenger on Italian liners eight off
ferent times and have yet to see any
member of a crew under the influence
of liquor. I know how rigidly disci.
plined are the men of any crew, how
solicitous and devoted toward all pas
sengers aboard, and, therefore, it
seems to us inconceivable that this
particular crew would thoughtlessly
jeopardize the lives of many hum
dreds intrusted to their care. And
the gallant captain of that ship and
crew-what more noble praise could
one utter in his behalf than to say
that he lived up to the code Of the
sea; he remained with his ship to the
end, doing all that was humanity pos
sible before and at the time of the
disaster and panic, and certainly we
feel that he and his brave crew must
have gone to their deaths confident
that their duty had been fulfilled in
the name of Italy and her great mer.
chant marine service!

Night Deliveries to Aid Traffic.

Traffic conditions in New York have

Such a change would necessarily rad
