MISSISSIPPI RISES
SOUTH Of MEMPHIS
Nashville Area Also Faces
Flood Peril as Waters Re-
Cede in Louisiana.

BY the Associated Press.
MONROE, La, February 6.-The
Mississippi River from Memphis south
ward, and the Cumberland, flowing
through Nashville, Tenn, were rising
gradually today, but the food waters
in Louisiana began receding.
Continued clear weather aided the
battle against the Ouachita River at
Monroe and the Red River az Alex
andria, La, with no prospects Of ag-
gravating rains for a day or two.
At II o'clock today the gauge at
Monroe showed a definite drop OF Cnc-
tenth CT foot, and there was great
rejoicing. although the water is still
nearly 10 feet above flood stage.
Red River Recedes.
A similar fall was recorded at Alex
andria, where the Red River is giving
trouble all the way from COlfaX, IN
Grant Parish, down through RapideS
and AvoyelleS Parishes to the MlSslS-
Sippi River.
In flood stage from Memphis to Baton
Rouge, the Mississippi River is backing
high water up into its tributaries in
both Mississippi and louisiana. Low
land in the Vicksburg area is also un-
der water and residents have sought
refuge on the bluffs.
At Memphis the rivers stage today
was cight-tenthS foot above 35-foot
flood level.
The Cumberland River at Nashville
rose three tenthS foot in the past "a
hours to a stage of 47.8 feet, or rs feet
above food stage. Hundreds Of resi-
dents have been driven from their
homes in the low river basin that skirts
the business area OF Nashville.
Yazoo Situation Improves.
Improvement in the food situation in
the Yazoo Valley in Mississippi indi-
Gated that the services of the Coast
Guard fleet would not be needed much
longer. 1t was believed all y people
threatened in their homes by back
waters had been removed to safety.
Extensive relief operations in charge
of the Red Cross are still under way
in the Mississippi delta flood and in
the Red River and Ouachita River food
sections of louisiana,

In the face of survey now being

Trivial Relief Claimed.
Commenting on the plans for dis
charging married women from gainful
occupations in cases in industry and
commerce where their husbands or
other members Of the family also are
gainfully employed the Women's
Bureau in its report says that lat best,
only trivial relief could be effected by
such a measure"
The Wharton school report is cited
as showing that indiscrimmate dis
mlSSdI OF married woman "OIkeIS
would cause widespread distress,
Many of the families in which the wife
is a wage Garner may already be nv-
ing below the level Of minimum health
and comfort, it was reported, and in
many others further reduction of fam
lily income would Immediately result in
this condition"
Census Reports Cited
The WOmans Bureau then goes into
a discussion Of recent census reports on
the employment of married women in
the various States. Such figures have
been published for 35 States, and show
that in IA of the 35. less than one
tenth of the married women are work
ing. and in IA others more than 10. but
less than Is per cent, are galnfully
employed. In three States, all in the
South, more than 20 per cent of all

DOG IS MOTHER
TO SQUIRRELS

Toy, a female Pekinese. owned
by Mr.. and Mrs. r. B. Coleman,
of Glen Echo Heights, Md, has
gone "nutty" over a couple OF
baby squirrels.
Although she has never had
any puppies of her own, Toy has
mothered the little animals for
three weeks and is jealous of her
wards.
Mr.. Coleman was cutting down
tree when he found the squirrel
nest with it's two tiny inhabitants
He carried them into the house
where Mrs. Coleman fed them
milk with an eyedropper, then
left them on a bed. Remember,
ing that her year-old dog was in
the same room, she hurried back
fearful of harm to the new
corners.
Instead, she found Toy caring
for the squirrels.
Now the three are inseparable
Before the squirrels can eat any
thing, Toy must taste it, Mrs
Coleman said. Strangers who
look as though they might try
to take the squirrels are snapped
at by the dog.
When found, one of the squir
relS had a bad eye. Continual
washing by Toy, however, have
healed the eye until it is now
practically normal.
