The survey flight was the result
OF an offer by Col. and Mrs. Lind

manner in the flood mergency. II
was accepted with thanks BY
Chang Kai-Shek, head of the
nationalist government. and +. v.
Soong, finance minister.
The region for which the filters
headed was inundated late in
August. The Joss Of life was esti-
mated at 100000 in five counties
along the Grand canal. Destruction
in that area was SO thorough, how
ever. that no means Of making a
reliable survey have been avail
able.
Col. and Mrs. Lindbergh took a
camera, hoping to obtain useful
pictures.
At L~indbergh's suggestion, all
social functions planned here in
honor of Mrs. Lindbergh and HIM
self were cancelled TO enable them
to devote their full time to flood
relief work.

After accepting %Lindbergh's offer
10 help, Soong sent two experts Of
II flood relief commission from
Shanghai to Marking = confer
with the filters on the most effec-
tive way Of using their plane.
In view OF the fact that the
Lindbergh plane has a long cruising
range, they decided it would be
most useful in surveying flood
stricken northern Kiangsu.
When the decision was reached
the Lindberghs proceeded imme-
diately TO Lotus lake here, where
they had landed last week after
their flight from Flkuoka. Japan,
and took off in 10 minutes.

QUAKESCAUSE
NEAR-PANICS,
Loss SLIGHT

CLEVELAND, Sept. 2l-tp-More
than a dozen cities and towns in
portions Of Ohio and Indiana we're
severely shaken last night by SUBJ
terranean tremors. the most pro-
nounced in this section since 1911
when the entire Ohio river valley
was affected.
Although attended BY intense
excitement among householders.
the quake did comparatively little
damage and caused no loss OF life.
Houses Damaged
1t reached its greatest intensity
at the village of Anna, in western
Ohio. The community OF 500 per-
sons was without a whole chimnfs
today. and every house and buil.-
Ing was damaged TO some extent.
P~lastering in the Anna high
school was shaken from the walls
and the corner stones of the Luth-
"a church we're Jared loose.
Damage was estimated at $4,000.
Starting at about 5 o'clock. Gen.
tral Standard Time, and continuing
over periods of tire as great as 80
seconds, the quake extended from
GAINESVILLE, O., on the extreme east.
TO Richmond, Indianapolis, Con-
nersville and Liberty, Ind, on the
west.
Buildings were reported to have
swayed in Springfield, O., while
distinct shocks were fo't in COL

Sidney reported fallen chimneys
but in other localities the effect
consisted largely Of rafting dishes

Rambling Heard
Newspaper offices and police
headquarters suffered the most as
thousands OF excl ed citizens tele-
phoned in TO lear1l what was hap
pening. Hundreds ran into the
streets in localities where shocks
were most severe. Deep rumbling
accompanied the tremors.
The disturbance, according 10
government biologists, was caused
by the slipping of rock strata I'M
der the earth's surface. These
geological readjustments occur
sporadically in the middle west. but
no serious damage has resulted in
the past 100 years.
