HOOyER'S RELIEF PLAN.
Secretary Outlines His Method for Aid
ing i'm New England.

Three recommendations for assist
ance to flood sufferers and industries
injured in the floods in New England
are made by Secretary Hoover IN
letter to Gov. John E. Weeks of YER
mont, made public at the Commerce
Department.
Mr.. Hoover says that while the ac'
curate cost of rehabilitation from the
ravages of the flood cannot yet be de-
termined, some conclusions can be
reached. "It is obvious" he says,
"that the cost of rehabilitation is be-
yond the means of the stricken dis
tricts. il is also obvious that assur-
ances must be taken at once that as
sistance will be forthcoming.
Mr.. Hoover's Suggestions.
In this light I would make the fol-
lowing suggestions:
.F'irst-That the National Red
Cross should at once announce its
acceptance OF the full responsibility
toward all those who cannot other
wise provide for themselves to fur
nish them necessary household furnl-
ture, building repairs, new home con-
struction, cattle, horses, live stock,
farm implements, tools, food and
clothing for Winter. Also that they
should undertake such assistance to
smaller merchants and artisans as
will enable them to get back to self
support. I am sure the American
people will sustain the Red Cross in
this undertaking and I am recon-
mending this course to President
Coolidge.
"Second-I suggest that either the
New England Bankers Association or
the New England Council be re-
ouested to assume the responsibility
for organizing such measures as VIII
assure credits to the worthy industrial
and commercial establishments which
NAV be embarrassed by the flood. 1t
seems to me that this is most es-
sential because of the large number OF
small industries located in the flood
valleys.
Work for Highway Bureau.
third - The Federal Highways
Bureau should be requested to make
a detailed estimate of the cost Of re-
storing the Federal aid roads. The
responsibility in reconstruction of the
roads must obviously be worked out
among the State and Federal agencies
involved, but in the meantime the
fact should be determined.
My adviceS are that the railways
with minor exceptions are able and
intend to carry through vigorous re-
construction of their lines.
May 1 add my admiration for the
way each neighborhood has grappled
with it's difficulties, the self-reliance
IS and courage which each has shown
I'm this very great disaster.
~T- Faithfully yours,
"HERBERT HOOVER"

FLOOD RELIEF COST

Say Federal Government

proper agency to control the food

ings of Army engineers and Attorney

Louisiana and Mississippi f1ood CON
troll committee, expressed the view
that the Army engineers constituted
the best agency TO carry out nooo
control.
Stronger levees and spillways are
the remedies for flood protection in
Louisiana. James p. Butler, New
Orleans banker, told the committee:
Engineers favor the construction OF
three spillways in Louisiana. he sald'
at Caernarvon. below New orleans
where the artificial crevasse Whlch
helped save the city was made last
Spring: at Bonnet Carre. above the
city. and through the Atchafaiaya
River.
Cited as National Problem.
Belief that Congress would recog
nize flood control as national prop
lem was expressed by l.. d. CROSBY OF
Picayune, Miss, who represented that
State on the tri-state committee.
All three spokesmen for the three
lower valley States declared F was
essential that the entire cost of hood
control be assumed by the Federal
Government.
Cows. Simpson OF Louisiana and
Murphree of Mississippi, who had been
invited to come to the hearing, were
unable to attend.

Scented Candles Take Place of Plain
Candles have been popular in the
decorative scheme for luncheons and
dinners during the past social season
in Douglas. They now promise to
become more popular in the new
form of the scented candle.
Long rose tapers to be the correct
thing must be scented with a faint
fragrance of the American beauty or
Cecile Brunner rose. Lavender candles
will perfume the dimly lighted at
mosphere of the dinner table with
q suggestion of violets
Incense has seen its day in con-
rection with luncheons and candles
from now on will perform the two
fold function of perfumes and illu-
nination. Most of the parties held
in Douglas have seen combinations
of lighting effects produced mostly
by candle tapers in small holders OF
short candles in sandelabrum effect
Hostesses in the larger cities are
boasting history as well as scent for
their candles. Some even have pur-
chased scented candles already used
in entertaining royalty in the east
The candle may easily become one
of the few used articles of which
the owner may be proud in the best
circles.
