The skies had been threatening all
afternoon and rain began to fall heav-

the flyers, with its top down, neared
the Capitol. It was stopped on the
Capitol plaza, but CoSte and Bellonte
refused to have the top put up, and the
ride was continued in the rain.
At the French embassy they found
a crowd extending block in both direc-
lions awaiting them. The aviators went
into the building without pausing, but
Immediately reappeared on second

trips to the balcony were necessary to

The flyers had been at the embassy
only a little while, however, before they
decided to go for drive around the
speedway and through Rock Greek Park,
which had attarcted their attention and
admiration while they were flying In

RAINS SWELL DIANA RIVER.
Flow Of Is Miles Per Hour Blocks
Boats at Mouth.

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, September
4 P.-Heavy rains lasting more than
"a hours have swollen the Ozama River
and made travel through the hurricane
zone in the interior of Santo Domingo
all but impossible today. The Ozama's
now has increased to Is miles an hour,
effectually preventing boats from en-
tering its mouth.
Airplanes today formed virtually the
only mode of travel into the area. Re-
lief work went forward today as ener-
getically as possible under such circum-
stances.
Pathetic Survivors Watch Sky.
The population pathetically watched
the arrival of each plane at the Santo

When the hurricane hit the side Of
the mountains, rising almost perpendic-
uiarly in its path, the storm actually
skinned the south slope of the noun
tain range there and hurtled into the
air, touching only the high points in
the succeeding ranges upon its course
to the sea.
Rich Valley Areas Spared.
The area of the Santiago, Vega and
Eoca Valleys, which are the productive
part Of the country, were spared. The
people of Santiago with whom observers
talked related that they could hear the
storm, bowling ike million flends in
the air as it passed overhead. The peo-
pie we're greatly awed by the phenome-

Plantations east of Santiago within
the area of the storm were wiped cut
for q distance Of Is to 20 miles.
Relief work organized In Santiago,
the metropolis of Northern Santo Do
mingo, today was greatly hampered by
the condition of roads and rivers. The
was almost tied up.
Relief work at Santo Domingo City,
according to Col. r. NJ. Puts, senior
American officer at Haiti, in charge OF
the air transport service, was progress
ing as fast as possible.
It was admitted frankly today that
the situation was grave. Boats, in order
to enter the harbor, had to develop q
speed of more than Is miles an hour
in order to combat the current. Small
boats were seen attempting to land
provisions at the foot of a 50-foot cliff

Washington Fashions

Your china for the festive
Thanksgiving table is just as
important, Of course. as silver
or linen. IF you have been
giving any thought to home
furnishing trends you win know
that there are some new tend
encies that are quite well worth
watching.
AS many of you probably
know a great deal about fine
old china, I will not discuss it
lengthily. There are some new
modern types, however, that are
quite well worth examination.
If you do not like modern art,
architecture or design, you
must at least look at the new
china, for it is perfectly stun
ming, and is very feminine and
graceful as well. Remember,
however, that it should be used
only in a modern setting, or in
q room that will receive modern
decoration correctly.
Most Of the newer designs in
china have the motif placed at
the side rather than in the
center. This is most attractive.
and gives it a very smart look.
Then square shapes are popu-
lar. Some Of the pieces are
fluted also, which makes them
harmonic not only with mod.
ern settings but with some
types of Georgian and early
American homes. There is a
pattern called "Top o. Hill"
with trees of black showing
against an ivory sky. It was
designed by Palm ThOrley. an
Englishman, who is responsible
for most of our loveliest mod
ern china. He also designed the
"GooSe Girl" pattern which,
shows q wind-Swept maiden on
q hill, green on old ivory.
Green Is very good in any
pattern, and border designs are
popular. So are Dresden flower
designs. Some Of the trends
that are very noticeable are the
