Today's gale was a new storm.
1t marked the fifth consecutive
day of bad weather which has
gripped the Atlantic seaboard. In
all at least 20 lives have been lost.
Eight were known to be dead
in the acknowledgements area
which bore the brunt of yester-
days hurricane. Property damage
was estimated at 100000 in
that area. Communication with
Norfolk was re-established early
today. but many surrounding re-
sorts and towns were still isolated.
The passenger liner Madison,
battered and crippled, was con-
voyed into Norfolk by coast guard
cutters early today. She lost two
of her crew in riding out the bur-
ricane. which caught her in its
vortex off Cape Charles, Va. The
ship flashed two sos calls for as
sistance.
At Cheverly. Md, three cars of
a New York-New Orleans train
turned over in food waters. kill.
ing two trainmen.
Two were killed in the New
York metropolitan area where the
gale at one time reached a veloc-
ity of 70 miles an hour.
Floods threatened low-lying
sections of Washington. but the
hurricanes damage there was
small compared with the havoc
wrought in Maryland and Virginia
resorts. Hundreds were marooned
on roof tops. Daring rescues were
numerous. Thousands were home
less.
One-third of the city of Nor
folk was under water. Marines
and coast guardsmen assisted po-
lice in preventing looting Of the
wrecked homes. but thievery was
reported in Norfolk suburbs.
Shipping was paralyzed, and
three sea-going barges were sunk.
although their crews were res
cued. Thousands of small vessels,
tied in harbors and inlets, were
swamped and sunk.
Today's southeast gale was be-
lieved to have resulted from the
clash of the hurricane and
northeaster which has blown
along the North Atlantic coast
since Sunday. The hurricane ad-
vanced for two days northwest
ward between the Bahamas and
the American coast, then shifted
little more to northwest and

No Further Increases By Lowering of the Dollar -Recovery Act Will Rule Things Now
BY RICHARD l.. GRIDLEY { (Copyrjght 1888, by United Prcss)

Washington, July 2S--(U.Ps) - Plans to increase prices through further dcvaluation of the dollar have been abandoned until the ad- ministration gauges the effects of it's industrial recovery program, the United Press learned to-day. on the highest authority. ;
 While still determined to restore purchasing power to around the 1925 levels the administration will endcavOr to reach this objective through its recovery program be- fore cmbarking on furfher drastic devaIuation of the dollar. sb ss
 The rapid progress of the recoy- ary program is believed to have convinced many members of the administration that further bus mess Improvement can be worked out without resort to drastic money imitation and its accompanying evil of overspecuiation. Tho growing success of the recovery program ie believed to have dictated the 5dcci- sion to abandon further innation- nry measures now that the spiral Of defation has been broken.

 The Balearic Islands is the name given the archipelago that basks in the Mediterranean 130 miles southeast of Barcelona.
 Before the advent of what fs known fin psychological circles as the depression you couldn't have found three men in Wall Street who knew whether the Balearics were curb stocks, q college yell, or something new in gents underwear. There are thirty-nine islands in the Balcarlc group but of these thirty-four are nothing but barren rocks. MaIlorca (Majorca to Eng fish -speaking peopie) is by far the largest of these islands, and Palma, it's capital, is an ancient, pictur- esque. but clean city of 9o.000 pco- pie.
 The MaIlorquins are q hardy peasant race showing traces of mixed descent from Carthaglnians. Phoenicians. Romans. Moors and Spaniards. In many ways they arc unlike any other people in Europe. As a rule they are sober. courteous, industrious and contentcd.
 Most of the Americans now res- Ident in Mallorca live in Palma in the popular suburb of Terreno. By all odds the majority of these ex- patriates are of decent family. live quiet lives and enjoy the respect and friendship of the natives. There are not ono thousand per- manent American residents on the whole island.
 On the whole, life in Maliorca Is atiII a simple. orderly procession of unpretentious happenings from morning till night, but the fear that 1t will not long remain so hangs like a thick pail over the more thoughtful among the per- mnncnt residents. native and for cign. The strident voice of jazz las crept in within the last twelve months threatening the sylvan har- mony. Tho depression has been responsible for attracting q certain type of foreigner that the island had never seen before, and al- though this type is represented by a mere handful that handful has already made itself felt.
 The Maliorquin is not a heavy drinker and contents himself with wine much diluted. A year and q half ago there wasn't one saloon in Palma. Today the place Is filled with American and English bars where q jazzy minority goes to make whoopee and disturb the sensibilities of the hopclessIy re- spectable.
 suppose no retreat as delight ful as Mailorca can permanently ward off the effects of its own popularity. The demon Progress won't be denied entrance. But why progress should always be accom- panied by jazz and gin I do not know. It is too bad that q small group of people utterly lacking in consid eration of native suscep- abilities, conventions and prcju- dices should jcopardize tho reputc of all foreigners living on the 4s- land. Some day tho local authori- ties may take some drastic action and drive out the iatter-day apos-

 Unless these facts are known h must appear 10 us on this side oL the water like a tremendous fuss about a very small matter.
 And now look for a moment on the Theodore Pratt case know Pratt very we'll, and . more .earr- est, decent, hard-working young man doesn't live anywhere. Why therefore is he threatened with de- portation? What did he do?
 Well, he has lived at Puerto Pol Iensa for over two years, living very quietly, too. But apparently he has harbored q hatred and con- tempt all the while for the people among whom he has been dWeiiine. Recently he wrote Q vitriouc arLscIe about Mallorca and the Mali0r- oiuns which was published in an American mseazine. Naturally, it was transiated into Spanish and ro- rrinted in q MaIlorca paper. It told the astonished natives that they were immoral. vicious, cruel, igncr- ant and rapacioug, and apparently tI1ey aid not like MT Pratt's frankly expressed opinions. Three hun dred of them surrounded his house ct one a. m.. and shcwered him with raucous threats of violence Not nice of them, was 1t?
 But suppose . Maliorquin came to America. settled in some state. and while he was there happened 10 witness, say, c lynching or two. Then suppose while. still enjoying the hospitality of that state he wrote . piece for . Spanish maga- zine describing all Americana as murderers, vicious, cruel and ig. norant, how long do you think that Mailorjquin would remain in our midst without being made aware that he wasn't exactly. popuiarg The answer Is all too obvious.
