FLOODS SPREADING
OVER DOZEN TOWNS|
Gravity of Situation In
creases as Marooned Thou
sands Wait Promised Aid.
Ry the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
GLENDORA, Miss, January 19-The
Mississippi delta's Midwinter flood
spread out over new territory today,
covering thousands Of acres of land
and washing through streets of dozen
towns as marooned residents anxiously
awaited arrival of promised national
relief.
The havoc of the Tallahatchie Riv-
ers multiple levee breaks of last week,
which sent residents of the Tippo Ba-
sin, in Tallahatchie County, climbing
to their roofs awaiting rescue, promised
to be duplicated in a new area follow
ing a 75-foot crevasse late yesterday in
the main east bank of the Yazoo River
dyke at Honey Island.
Three feet of water poured into a
back country basin, covering approx
imately 100000 acres in Lef1ore, Holmes,
Yazoo and HUMPHREYS Counties.
Water Perils Towns.
In the path of the released waters
are the towns of Cruger Tchule, KERN.
Mileston and Bee Lake. Residents of
the district number between 1000 and
5000.
Convjcts and plantation workers la
bored to fill the levee gap to prevent
complete !nundation of the section
Elsewhere in the delta. particularly
along the f1ood-riddled east banks of
the Tallahatchie River, residents ad-
mitted defeat in their month-old fight
to keep the leVees intact. Marooned on
water covered farms, or crowded into
inadequate quarters in congested, half
flooded towns, they waited for promised
boats to take them out to high, dry
land.
In answer to calls for aid, the Red
Cross and the Coast Guard combined
efforts to alleviate suffering Twelve
staff workers of the National Red Cross
were en- route to the area to take
charge of relief measures, and the
Coast Guard ordered eight crews and
eight motor lifeboats hurried to the
zone from Chicago and the Gulf Coast.
$4,000 Persons Affected.
The Guard boats will augment the
admittedly inadequate craft on the
scene in the removal of the marooned
to places of safety.
An estimated $4,000 persons have
been affected by the floods.
Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo said yester-
day that the condition of these peo-
pie is serious and their losses are in
calculable."
Rampaging delta streams. which be-
gan going out of bounds before Christ
mas, are still rising, but forecasters
hope they begin to suhside within the
next few days
Some temporary improvement has
been shown in the North Louisiana
food resulting from the rises of the
Ouachita, Red and other large rivers,
but that section has yet to experience
much higher river stages.

TAX BILL HEARING
TO END JANUARY %
House Committee to Hear
More Witnesses Before
Framing Measure.

BY the Associated Press.
The House Ways and Means Com
mittee is about ready to stop hearing
opinions and settle down to the bust
ness of juggling revenue figures into
columns that will total the Govern
ment's expenses.
January IS, with the expectation of
submitting a revenue program to the
House by February /.
1t arranged to listen to the testi-
mony of all witnesses applying for time
by Friday, but limited each to Is min
utes.
Warns of Rebellion.
A warning that continued piling up
of the tax burden might lead to rebel
lion was put before the committee to-
day in the testimony of James A.
Emery. representing the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturers.
Emery said about a fifth of the ma
tional income was required for public
purposes. He estimated every citizen
worked about six weeks out of the year
for the Government
The manufacturers representative
advocated rigid economy in Govern
ment. He proposed a graduated income
tax, a reasonable" increase in surtax
and an adjustment of the difference
which he said existed between the cor
poration income tax and that on indi-
viduals in partnerships.
Opposes Tax on Checks.
Opposition to the administration S
stamp tax on bank checks was
voiced before the committee by Repre-
sentative Clarke, Republican, New York
Clarke argued that pay rolls should
be excepted if such tax were pro-
vided, pointing out some of the firms
in his district had been robbed OF pay
rolls
I'VE want to encourage, not dis
courage, the use of banks and banking
facilities, so We must get at the money
now on deposit in tin cans, the first
ational socks and other Secretive
places" he said. "A fellow who gets
his money out of these unsafe places
and in the safe place of a bank, then
draws checks against that deposit,
oughn't be soaked with tax"

Receivers in Jail
After Hearing of
Nap on B. & 0.
Man, Sentenced on Drunk
Charge, Glad to Get
Sleeping Place.

Arthur Kelly, IS, was recovering In
District Jail today from the shock OF
learning what close call he had Sat-
urday afternoon. when a policeman res
cued him after he had decided to take
a nap with the Baltimore & Ohio Rail-
road tracks as bed.
Policeman j. C. Baum told his story
of the rescue during Kelly's trial for
drunkenness in Police Court yesterday.
The Waterman at the grade crossing
on Michigan avenue northeast, Baum
said, put in hurry call to the fifth
precinct.
There's a drunk wandering around
here" he shouted into the telephone,
land he's liable to get run over by a
train If you don't come quickly can't
handle him."
When Baum arrived Kelly had
stretched out on the south-bound track,
the back of his neck on the rail and a
forearm, with elbow akimbo, support
ing his head.
II dragged him off, judge" said
Baum, lust before fast passenger
train came along. His head would
have been cut off sure"
Judge John T. Mcmahon then SEN
fenced Kelly, VINO said he didn't remem-
Der anything about the incident, to pay
a S25 fine or serve similar number
of days in Jail. He failed to pay the
fine.
After that scare" said Kelly, II am
only too glad to find safe place to
Sleep"

precedented world conditions. The Fo-
rum, which goes into operation now,
offers opportunities for the transmit
ting of information as to penang
problems throughout the Nation.
May I call attention to some OF
the unusual and startling conditions
which confront US We ere the richest
Nation in the world and we now nave
the greatest budget deficit in the world,
estimated this year at one billion DOL
lars. Next year it will be two billion
dollars and the year after That IL VIII
be one and one-half billion dollars. we
must balance 1t by resorting to new
and exceedingly oppressive taxes. We
must do this in order to restore our
Government bonds to par and perhaps
even to keep from going off the gold
standard.
This is the question which is pre-
senting itsef today with tremendous
force. Next week it may be something
else. I am advised that later on L
will be given the entire Forum time to
discuss the question which is para
mount on that particular date and
which I may be, on account OF my po-

cured by first liens on units of

Gaining in FAVOR

Skintled brickwork is celebrat-
ing it's fifteenth birthyear, having
been originated in Chicago early
in the world war period. In
stead of proving just a passing
fad, as was generally predicted, it
is winning favor constantly.
Tapestried effects in other spe-
cial types of brick are dependent
upon the treatment of the indi-
vidual bricks in the process of
manufacture. And it does not
always relieve the monotony of

Dumont turned to heavier than air craft. Applying his knowledge of gas engines, he experimented Tt first with vertical propeller but gave that up and constructed box kite type of machine which on September 30, 1906, he took off the ground at Bagatelle, flying 250 feet at a height of four feet and at the rate of IS miles an hour.
 On November 12 of the same year he went up 20 feet and flew TOO feet in 21 2I5 seconds, a speed of g miles an hour.
 These feats attracted attention although they were scarcely com parable to the flights already made by Orville Wright who had in 1905 "sold' his ideas to the Unit cd States Army by carrying Lieut.. Benjamin D. Foulois on a flight of A miles at rate of 42 miles an hour
 Next Santos Dumont tried hydro planes, using the Seine at Paris as an experimental field" He had indifferent success and went back to land machines, finally evolving the monoplane which eventually be- came his most notable contribution to aeronautics.

 Going to Paris in 1891, he found ballooning beyond the means of 8 rather slender purse so be bought an automobile and began a study of intenal combustion engines. It was six years before he took to the air. He had his first flight with two Frenchmen, Lechambre and Machuron, who had written an imaginative book, "Andree, or in a Balloon to the North Pole"
 Thirty years later the finding of Andree's body and diary on a lone ly Arctic island proved almost every item in the book to be fact. Santos Dumont made his first dirigible flight in June, 1898, as- cending from the Jardin d'Accli- nation in Paris in an air ship which he had constructed and named Brazil" From that time on he was world figure in aerial development.
 Builder Of Airships
 Between 1893 and 1906 he built seven Higher than air ships, all of which bore his name in numerical sequence. On October 19, 1901, with the Santos Dumont V he won the Deutsch de la Meurthe prize of 100000 francs, offered for the first circuit flight from the French Aero Club. at St. Cloud around the Eifel tower in Paris and return. This trip consumed 30 minutes. Later he made in Nos VI and VII, receiving a gold medal from the Government of Brazil for the first and 5000 francs and a silver cup for the second.
 In 1903 he erected at Neuilly the first airport He kept there fleet of dirigibles which were used for flights over the housetops of Paris.

 Thereafter he stayed on the ground except for a flight in a free balloon piloted by Count de Vaux in the competition for the 1922 Grand Prix.
 Santos Dumont was French by descent, He was born on the faZ- enda Cabagnia, municipality of Bar bacena, State of Minas Geraes, June 20, 1873, the son of Henri Dumont, an engineer by profession but 8 planter by vocation. The son early showed a bent for me- chanical things, spending much time in watching and operating the machinery that handled the coffee.
 Human Flights
 He had his preliminary schooling in Sac Paulo and became interested in the problems of human flight, but early abandoned the idea of movable wings which aerial eXperi- mentors had envisaged from the time of Leonardo da Vinci.
 "A man walks on legs but rides on wheels," was one of his say
