TEXAS HAS ALL
STORM TYPES
Wind Strikes Cities Over
Entire State; Snow And
Sleet In Panhandle

DALLAS. May 2-tF-Texas to-
day was recovering from almost
every type or storm known to the
weather bureau. Snow. hail. sand
storms, electrical storms and winds
of tremendous velocity were among
the meteorological freaks which Wis
tied the state yesterday.
Emogene Carr. 9 years old. and
Guy 4. Hall suffered fractured
skulls near Lubbock and are in a
serious condition in a hospital there.
The girl was run down when the
driver of an automobile was blinded
in a standtsorm and Hall was
crushed under a concrete form
blown from a bridge under con-
~struction. Several negroes were re-
ported seriously injured in East
Texas by debris from q collapsinE
house.
Snow. slcet. wind. rain and hail
fell in the Panhandle in the vicinity
of Amarillo and Miami. The wind
swept across the state in a broad
band and almost everywhere the
sand and dust which ii carried with
IL were dense enough to constitute
a serious traffic menace. "A hangar
was unroofed and an airplane DAM
aged by a falling girder at Mid
land. Ballinger. wichita Falls. Cor
sicana, Austin. Waco, Houston and
many other cities as widely scat
tered felt the force of the wind and

IN Dallas the gale reached a We
locitv OF SO miles an hour and In

Three Types Of Quarantine
For the purpose Of this quaran-
tine the state OF Florida will fall
into three types Of zones: namely
ID the infested zones. ca the pro-
tective zones and ca the state as a
whole outside of the two types
Of zones.
Infested zones will include the or
chards determined TO have been
reached by the fly and surrounding
properties TO a distance Of at least
one mile. Within these zones all
fruits and vegetables are TO be de-
stroyed or proceSsed and no more
are TO be permitted TO develop until
the zone Is released from restriction.
The protective zones will include
all properties within nine miles, sur
rounding the infested zones. These
zones arc TO be adjusted to natural
boundaries. Within each protective
zone all groves and all paintings
of host vegetables will be given in
tensive inspection but the fruits and
vegetables will be allowed &c move
under certain safeguards and re-
strictions in interstate commerce.
Within this zone. however. there will
be maintained a non-fruit period Of
at least six months beginning on

Non-Inhammable Film

No such tragedy as occurred at a Cleveland hospital last week. due to the explosion of X-Ray films, causing the death of i24 people, can occur at the Day Kimball Hospital.
 IL was nearly five years ago that non-inflammable films were introduc- ed at the local hospital and all other film was discarded While some of this film is kept in the Xkay room at the hospital a reserve stock IS kept in separate building as an extra pre- cautionary measure.
 While the Cleveland tragedy is one of the first of the kind to happen 1t will be reassuring to the people of this vicinity to knew that no such accident is possible at the Putnam institution due tc the farsightedness of hospital officials.
