FLOOD CONTROL
SESSION ON

Consideration of measures to con-
troll the nations raging rivers at
floodtide-one Of the costliest JOBS
ever laid on the doorstep OF Con-
gress-was begun by the House
Flood Control Committee today.
Brushing aside its admitted lack
of authority and refusing to wait
until Congress meets to give it legal
existence, the House committee Oh

hearings with determination to lay
plan before the parent body by
Christmas.
With a dozen different plans al
ready proposed to end future MIS-

chairman, declared that the ultl-
mate cost may be anywhere from
$3.50, 000, 900 to 81 900, 600, 900.
Delegates from every section OF
the vast Mississippi Valley--more
than 1000 in all-poured into the
capital on special trains to tell the
story of the great flood and to de-
mand that the nation act.
Frightened anew by the fresh
New England disaster, members Of
Congress and anxious citizens from
other parts of the country prepared
to urge that policy be adopted
which would cover every danger
spot in the nation.
Chairman Reid issued a special
invitation to New England repre-
sentatives to appear.

REBUILT FRANCE
TURNS OUT FOR
ARMLSTICE DAY

PARIS, Nov. II (P)--All France
turned back it's thoughts to the war
today and to the arn1istlce which
put an end to the great struggle.
Along the great battle line. from
the channel to the foothills, of the
Alps, towns and villages that were
wiped away by the holocaust OF war
stood resurrected, bright with flags
and busy with the coming and going
of civilian celebrantS.
In the forest of Compiegne, at the
very spot along the railway track
where the armistice was signed, the
dining car in which this event took
place was the center Of a ceremony
at which Marshal Foch was the prin-
cipal figure. The event was the
dedication of building, erected with
funds from the United States, to
shelter the car.
In Paris there were, of course, more
French flags to be seen than any
other kind, but the stars and stripes
ran close second. On this day
last year there were not so many
American flags to be seen in Paris,
but since then Premier Poincare has
Steadied the franc, Lindbergh and
Byrd have spanned the air from one
republic to the other, the American
legion has held it's convention, in
Paris and the subject OF war debts
has been kept off the front pages
all of which has made a great diff
ference in the feelings of M. Jean
Dupont, as the man in the street
is known in France.
To all the great military cemeteries
that mark the hillsides and plains
OF northern France with thousands of
white crosses. pious pilgrims brought
flowers and stopped to remember and
to pray. Under the spires of myriad
of churches and cathedrals in the
nation there were special services in
observance.

WINSET'T GIVES
NOTED SERMON
GREAT ROUNDUP

Last night Evangelist Winsett
preached his noted sermon "The
Great Round Up" to the largest crowd
that has yet been assembled in the
church The ushers said that many
were turned away at the doors unable
to get in.
A group of visitors from Bisbee was
in the service headed by the pastor
of the First Baptist church of that
city, Rev. ROLAND Butler The visit
ing minister led fervenJ prayer
in the first part of the service and
also made an announcement.
Rev Winsett came to the platform
in cowboy dress, with boots, pants,
hat and bandanna, which brought a
smile from the audience as he took
his seat. Many old time COW punchers
and their wives were present in the
service and could easily follow the
preacher in all his utterances in re-
gard to ranch life.
He read from the 28th chapter of
Matthew as the running order for
GC% to his servants, put on the whole
armor of God was the scripture that
was made to compare with the COW
puncher's regalia.
He gave amusing incidents Of
ranch life and made it all compare
to the great roundup of the judg-
ment at the last great day when
the whole universe will be gathered
to judgment.
Tonight Rev. Winsett will preach a
sermon that will be different to any
thing ever seen here. He Will have
an exact duplicate of the electric
chair at Huntsville, Texas, in which
will be placed a man ready for
execution. The prisoner will have
on regulation prison clothes and the
black death robe will cover his body
before execution. The scene will be
as real as an illustration can make
it,, only the man in the chair will
not be actually executed.
