Kansas City, May l1.'-(P)-Pros-
poets of steadily increasing death
list in the huge checkerboard scoop
ed out of the middlewest by a series
of tornadoes and storms, in which
at least 228 persons perished and
more than 900 were injured, today
added to the trials of relief workers.
While casualty lists in Texas, Illi-
nois, Kansas and Louisiana showed
little change, debris of razed CONF
munities in Missouri and Arkansas
yielded more bodies last night and
several injured died in hospitals.
Physicians reported that more than
score of injured in Missouri and
Arkansas had little chance to live.
This, coupled with failure to estab-
lish communication with several viii
lagos since the tornadoes struck
Monday, caused relief agencies to
estimate the dead would total ap-
proximately $50.
The Casualty List
Casualty reports for the three day
western storm period today showed:
Missouri-95 dead and 400 injured.
Arkansas-68 dead, $50 injured.
Texas-35 dead, 100 injured.
Illinois-13 dead, 35 injured.
kansas-10 dead, 40 injured.
Louisiana-threc dead.
Wyoming-three dead.
IOwa-One dead.
Total-228 dead, 925 injured.
Relief was placed on an emergency
basis at Poplar Bluff, Mo-, where 30
Of the 95 killed in Missouri met
death. As few restaurants remained
it was necessary to supply food as
well as to solve hospital and salvage
problems.
Similar conditions prevailed in
northeastern Arkansas, where resi-
dcLas of several isolated villages
were reported destitute.
Weather observers found little "a
connect the series of freak storms
that started in Kansas Saturday,
swooped down fon northern Texas
early MondaW morning and then
skipped through Arkansas to Missouri
and finally appeared in Illinois.
Storms Unusually Violent
Indications of the violence of the
storms was found in Arkansas, where
small twisters branched off from the
central disturbance to flatten farm,
buildings and isolate many COM
munitics.
Casualties in Wyoming were limit
ed thus far to three persons frozen
to death in blizzard that sent cool
winds over the tornado area to aid
in settling atmospheric conditions
Th~ce negroes were the only persons
klvGn to have been killed in high
winds in Louisiana.

The sea and land gave back no an
swer today to the incessant calls for
word of the missing armen Cap

corporation, the independent wire
less and the navy swept the wide
Atlantic with radio queries and met
a wall of silence.
The white Bird" was Al anxious
hours overdue at New York at II
o'clock this morning on her flight
from Paris and was last seen head
ing northwest off kilrush, Ireland,
Sunday morning. There was a report
early today that the plane was found
at Truro, n. S.. but this was quickly
proved to be false.
Naval vessels are searching the
seas off New England and the Nova
Scotia waters while the French gov
ernment has fleet of destroyers
heading westward in the hunt for the
French aces. SO far their efforts to
locate the planes have been fruit
less. Lookouts on the trans Atlantic
liners bound east and west scan the
horizon for signs Of the plane, now
believed forced down by weight Of
ice formed on her wings in flight.
Scant Hopes Remain
Scant hopes remained of the find
ing of the missing men, who many
believe fell into the sea north of the
charted course Of steamships. 9th
ers suggest that the "White Bird"
came down in the waters off New
foundland, and unless the aviators
were rescued by a fishing smack,
they fell victims Of the ice that
crushed their fragile planes.
Paris was stepped in gloom and
despondency today. The bitterness

United States government had failed

A man suspected Of having stolen
gold necklace was being searched by

could find no trace of the necklace,
but suddenly the man showed signs
of distress and produced the necklace
from his mouth, which had already
been examined. A police officer said
that many thieves In Calcutta have
artificial cavities in their threats.

Citizens Judged BY
Appearance of Roads

The Mobile county board of rev.
enue will take up the matter of beau
tifying the approaches to the Bay
bridge. 1t is a wise plan. These ap-
proaches ought to be beautified. We
can easily make all our roads more
attractive. In all parts of the country
they are working along these same
lines. Trees are being set out along
some of the great highways of the
country. particularly those that have
historic significance. If we set out
trees now along the main Travelled
highways of this country In a few
years these roads will be ranked
among the most beautiful In the world.
All road plans should take into con-
sideration identifying possibilities.
All the beauty of highway is not
In hard surfaces. Trees. shrubs and
flowers on the sides of our roads add
much to the attractiveness of travel,
and when we find these things in Any
part Of the country, we naturally
form good opinion Of the people of
that section, for we know they are
enterprising and progressiye.-MobiIe

House Reflects the
Character of Gunner

In painting house, even II the own.
er Is painting for purely economic rea-
sons, due consideration should be
given to beauty. 1t is just as inexpen-
slve to select an attractive color
scheme as an unattractive one. Just
as easy to apply the paint. 1t simply
requires little forethOught and care
Color. which always plays dominant
role In determining artistic effect, Is
particularly important for the ex-
teriorS of homes Even more than
the lines and construction of the
house, 1t reflects the character of it's
owner. 1t can be an expression OF
cheer and life, or one of depression
and gloom. 1t can make the home
peasingly modest or glaringly con.
spicuous.
Several points must be taken into
consideration In making the selection
the size, the type and the location
Of the house. A large house with fair.
ly extensive grounds is adapted to al.
most any scheme But small house
on small lot requires particular
thought. Light, bright coors give an
effect of Increased size and are there
fore we'll adapted to such conditions
A good point to remember is that
trim lighter than the background
makes small house look larger,
while trim darker than the back
ground gives the opposite effect. For
instance, small house Of pearl gray
might well be trimmed In deep cream,
whereas good combination for
larger house of the same color would
be dark gray.

Selecting Home Site

Much depends on the site Of the
home-often there Ia no choice. But
If there is a choice, let personal pref

Climate, prevailing winds and local
conditions are governing influences
An east front Is often best; sooth.
west and north follow in order. An
east exposure for dining room TO get
the morning sun Is remedy for
breakfast crouch.
A southwest corner for kitchen
gives good light and usually good air.
Put awnings over the windows in the
summer south or west exposure
for the living room gives sunlight and
cheeriness In winter.
