MODERN ARK BUILT
 FOR GEORGIA FLOOD

AUGUSTA, Ga, Nov. 2.-Before the flood waters came, Noah built an ark
 When heavy rains began falling here in early fall, A. B. Higgins, Salvation Army adjutant, ordered a supply of lumber and built big, flat-bottomed boat.
 Friends laughed at him. Then additional rains fell on the water shed and flood waters spread over the lower part of Augusta. And the modern Noah, with his ark aI- ready built, was unworried, while some others failed to enjoy the same ease of mind.
 As long as the flood waters were up, the Salvation Army ark, man ned by Adjutant Higgins aj skipper and with a negro janitor as motive power, was on the job. The ark glided up and down streets in low lying sections, rescuing marooned persons. carrying food to those who remained and taking the sick and lame out of the flooded districts.

ITALIAN WOMEN
BALK At BABIES,
SAYS LIBERAL
Birth Control Sweeps Land
Despite MuSSoIini EdiCt,
Claims Professor.

b. Scripps-Hoic1rd NeUspGDer alliance
SAN FRANCISCO, May 31.-The
women OF Italy are beginning a
child-bearing strike that may dispel
the Fascist dreams Of world con-
quest.
This is t1e assertion Of Professor
Gaetano salvemini, former liberal
professor Of history at the Univer-
sity Of Florence, self-exiled anti
Fascist leader and now on an Amer
lean lecture tour.
Labor strikes are prohibited by
law in Italy said DR.. Salvemini,
but it appears that nothing can
prevent 2 strike of Italian women
against the child bearing edict Of
Signor MusSolini In May, 1926. he
issued an order that by 1850 the
Italian women must have bred a
nation Of $4,000 600. That very year
there we're 25.000 lever babies born
in italy than in 1925. In 1927 there
were $4,000 fever. In 1923 there
we're 10000 fever.
Birth Control Popular
"Mussolini rules Italy with an
ron hand, but il is apparent he can
not rule her women. The birth
control movement is sweeping down
upon Italy from France. So far it
has not permeated southern Italy.
but in Piedmont it is an active force.
'Italy's problem is one Of over
population now. With an area equal
10 tWo-thirds that Of California,
there are now 100000 people in
Italy. More children would compli-
cate the problems Of poverty and
unemployment. Birth-Control is
solving this crisis. With these 40
100000 people the number Of births
today Is exactly the same as in 1902.
when there we're only 100000
people.
Predicts NIussoIini Fan
The whole birth-rate is slacken-
ing. due TO the French influence.
Whereas italian mothers used TO
have upward of ten children, now
in northern Italy they have two or
three. The average italian family
nov is five persons.
Professor Salvemini says Musso-
lini is sitting upon Volcano The
anti-Fascist movement, while mar
ticulate, he says, is increasing, due
to hard times. High taxes to main
tain the tremendous military orga-
nization and low wages and unem-
ployment due to artificial attempts
to rehabilitate the lire have created
wide discomfort

liberty for prosperity he said.

When Baby Bunty hoped out OF
her bed in Uncle Wiggily's hollow
stump bungalow one morning she ran
to the window in her bare paws. and
looking out, suddenly began to bob
up and down like a jumping Jack.
What's the matter, Bunty!" asked
Nurse Jane Fuzzy Wuzzy, WHO was
getting ready to slide down the ban
lister stair railing so she could cook
the breakfast. Did you step on a
tack in your bare paws"
"No, no thank You, Nurse Jane,
Nothing like that!" laughed Banty.
"But look. It's showing! It's snow
ng! The cold wind is blowing!" land
the little orphan rabbit sang this
jolly song.
"Dear me! So it is snowing." said
Nurse Jane, as she opened the front
door to let in sixteen eleven bottles
of milk, for. with so many small
bunny children in his hollow stump
bungalow. Uncle Wiggily needed
many. The milk bottles came skip
ping in, glad enough to get where it
was warm, for they had been out in
the cold the greater part Of the
| night.
Then, as Nurse Jane got breakfast,
helping Mrs. Longears, and while
Uncle Wiggily made the fires warm
er, the rabbit children pressed their
pink noses against the glass of the
window, making them quite flat q
mean making their noses flat and
they sang:

Well he had lot of fun sliding by
himself on the snow-covcred ice of

all of a sudden, he slid too fast.
Down he fell and oh. what bump!

tried to stand up and feel of his
legs. Then lie fell down again:
"Bump!"
"Oh, ! had better get OFF the iceW
Uncle Wiggily said. "It's getting
more and more slippery every mo.
mcnt!" So he managed to limp to
the shore, where it wasn't so slippery,
but he found he was quite lame and
he could hardly walk.
And then, along came the Bob Cat +,
who, when he saw that Uncle Wig.
giiv was limping, snarled and said:
at will be easy to catch that rab-
hit .now!" and lie began to chase
Uncle Wiggi;y. Bu. the bunny start
ed to hop, hard as he had bumped
himself and lame as lie was. Only
the Bob Cat came nearer and nearer
and poor Uncle Wiggily said:
"Oh, if / only had my red, white
and blue striped rheumatism crutch.
could go faster and get away from
his Bob Cat" The Bob Cat laughed
and mewed
"But you haven't got your erutch
and Pm going to catch you"
Then, all of sudden Uncle Wig
gily saw long icicle hanging down
from wall of rock. 1t was fine.
big iciclc and the rabbit said:
"That will do me fine for crutch
to lean on!" Quickly he broke off
the icicle and tucking it under his
paw, he went along skippity scoppity
