the Valley when a hurricane was
reported on a rampage in the Gulf
OF Mexico a few days ago was not
justified is shown by a U. s. Dept.
OF Agriculture bulletin, Hurricanes

IL shows that out OF 10 great
hurricanes" which have struck va
rious parts Of the United States
during the past SO years. only one

This great" cyclone travelled be-
tween Corpus Christi and Browns

damage in the Valley. IL occurred

There have been only Is hurri-
canes classified as great, from
among "a tropical cyclones OF hur-
ricane intensity that reached the
coasts OF the United States during
the last SO years. according to the
bulletin.
OF the lesser storms only a few
have passed near the Valley. A map
shows that the hurricane OF 1902
passed nearer the Valley than any
of the lesser cyclones. the hurricane

 With role that calls for equal emotional force and delicate re- pression, Miss Bennett virtually lives the part and endows it with sheer ity and tenderness. Her obstacles and her sorrows and her helpless buffetings by circumstances beyond her control, as well as her final re- gaining of some of the happiness she has been so long denied, are registered with extraordinary skill and last nights audience was vir- tually swept away with her.
