RED CROSS FACES
TREMENDOUS TASK
Must Aid Florida And Also Porto
Rico

Washington. Sept. 10 (uP)- The
Red Cross faced today the task of
aiding in burying hurricane dead
and Of succoring the living.
While workers toiled to get food
and medicine to survivors of the
west Indian hurricane which crush
ed Porto Rico, the Bahamas, Flor
IDA and other places. a tragic ap-
peal for collins for Florida reach
ed headquarters here.
The number Of Florida dead was
still uncertain.
Known totals late last night ran
below seventy. with 545 injured;
but there were reports to the Red
Cross and in United Press dis
patches which limited the final totai
would be between 100 and 200 dead
and perhaps more.
Appeal for Collins
Out of Fort Myers came the ap-
peal for collins.
Margaret Shepherd of the chap
ter there advised that pleas were
arriving for collins for the dead
of Okeechobee. South Bay. Miami
Locks and Bear Beach in the lake
Okeechobee territory.
She had been unable to establish
contact with the east coast relief
unit, but was able to advise the
main offices where today hundreds
of dollars were pouring in from Il
nation whose heart was touched by
the hurricane tragedy.
She was told that If public funds
were available, the Red Cross
would see that the victims had de-
cent burial at the organizations eX-
pense.
And while there were thoughts
for the dead, the question of car
ing for the living arose.
Typhoid, that scourge which rides
with the whirlwind. had to be pre-
vented. The Parke Davis company
offered 10000 units of typhoid SER
nm which the Red Cross in turn
offered to the Florida health de-
partment. Physicians and disaster
experts were assigned to Florida.
Food was modified for the Porto
Ricans 100000 of whom are esti-
mated by Gov. Horace Towner to be
hungry and homeless as a result of
the hurricane.
Storm Lessons
Meantime, the peak Of the hurri-
cane had passed. The storm which
Lad broght death and destruction
through the tropics was swirlinS
northward along the Atlantic coast,
its fury lessened and now listed as
a whole gale" rather than hur-
ricane. 1t turned its blasts last night
onto the Virginia capes.
Gov. Martin of Florida asked aid
Of the war department and the adj
jutant general advised the fourth
corps area at Atlanta to give the
state all possible aid. Atlanta was
told to forward 1000 cots to West
Palm Beach by the first available
train. Meantime, from Porto Rico.
Gov. Towner cabled that there was
no need,-as .hinted in press advises
for martial law. The police. he said.

cuardsmen have been ordered TO

The World and All
DEMPSEY AND OTHERS
BY Charles Y. Driscoll

The Mason City Globe-Gazette comments upon my
recent remarks about Gene Tunney approvingly. I
said, in substance. that Tunney has my admiration be-
cause he was not proud Of an occupation that gives an
intelligent man very little indeed TO be proud Of. I
a~pplauded Gene because he quit as soon as he had
pounded out enough money 70 assure him OF liberty to
do as he chooses with the rest of his life.
The Globe-Gazette appraises my estimate Of Tunney
as both accurate and fair" and INDUCES the hope that
! may write about Dempsey some time. THAT. too.
would be interesting" says the Globe-Gazette, "al-
though we know in advance that it wuoldnt be compli-
mentary and il would make Mr.. DriscolI unpopular
with that section Of our population which thinks Demp-
sey is incomparably the greatest man Of contemporary
history"
Well. here goes for . little unpopuisrity. It's 60
ing 70 be difficult TO earn, too, because | am not in
the least interested in Mr.. Dempsey, and know Of very
few things to say about him. I have seen him, and
have not thought him either handsome or interesting
in appearance. That's altogether a matter OF personal
preference. however. and ! have known people who
thought the Prince Of Wales fairly godIke in form and
face, so IL rs easy to understand that there may Be
many who think Jack Dempsey beautiful.
In bullfighting. the bull that can gore the most
horses savageIy and give the toreadors the bloodiest
battle j. the most popular bull. Likewise. the toreador
who can do the bloodiest business in the ring IS the
most popular with the audience.
Dempsey was popular with prize fight fans because
ne seemed to be possessed Of a blood lust which was
an exaggerated, potent and g~lorified reflection of the
blood lust that inflamed his admirers when they watch
ed . body-bruising contest.
As between q Dempsey in the prize ring and 4 torea-
dor in the bull ring. ! would choose to watch the latter
any day. Swords are 50 much more genteel and refined
than fists for blood letting purposes. And n Hand =.

speed for each second Of tbs fall During the frat
second It Is t~hirty-two feet. At the end Of that second,
therefore, the speed had become t~hirty-two feet q
second. The distance fallen during that second In the
starting speed. which is zero, averaged with this final
speed Of t~hirty-two feet a second. That Is, the dis
lance fallen In one second Is sixteen feet. During the
second second OF the fall the speed again increases by
the "aeceIeration Of gravity" that IL, by another thir-
ty-two feet. After two seconds fall the total speed
equals, therefore, thirty-two feet a second plus an
other thirty-two feet a second, or s~ixty-four feet a
second. At the end Of each second thereafter the the
oreticaI speed should have increased similarly, growing
faster indefinitely, by equal inerements Of t~hirty-two
feet a second for each second Of fall.
When, then. does the army find that q man cannot
fall faster than the l75 feet a second, which CORE
spends to 11s miles an hour? The answer Is the fric-
ton Of the air. Any solid thing falling through air
resembles an elephant trying 70 get through q close
packed crowd. The beast can part the crowd and
trample il, but its own progress will be impeded. The
air Is a vast crowd Of gas atoms, billions Of which the
falling man must shove aside. This slows him up u
increases the r~etarding effect becomes relatively
greater. as the crowd would hold back a ~fast-movinK
elephant more than one moving slowly enough to per-
nit the crowds units 70 escape. The precise amount
Of the air retardation on the speed Of any falling body
is a difficult thing to calculate. for the air atoms get
in each others way as they try to escape and their
behavior follows no simple law.
