MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 10
UN.S).-As the threat Of major
floods along a 300mile river front
increased, Government engineers
redoubled their guards today on
the Mississippi levees.
Although the levees were still
holding up, approximately 2,0OO,-
900 acres already were inundated
today in unprotected areas, Col.
Eugene Reybold of the Engineer
ing Corps estimated.
At Ridgely, Tenn, and at
Charlottesville, Mo-, the river was
between 10 and 20 miles wide.
Concern was expressed for the
huge Mellwood levee near Helena,
Ark, where engineers have col
lected thousands Of Sandbags to
strengthen the embankment.
Refugees continued to struggle
into Ridgely today and were
housed in box cars of the Illinois
Central Railroad. Between Cairo
a n d Vicksburg approximately
1000 refugees were being fed and
sheltered by the Red Cross.

Secretary Of State Cordell Hull

forward by the presidents Of the
Latin republics concerning how

republics, Guatemala, Colombia

Chile proposed joint campaign
for the Qualification of peace in
the minds of the peoples of the

Chile and Guatemala sent the
most extensive proposals. Chile
proposed q three-point system OF
moral, economic and military dis
armament to aid peace on this
continent. Guatemala, in its pro-
poSal for an American League Of
Nations, urged mutual assistance
pact against foreign aggression
and establishment Of permanent

Mother of 6 Children
And She Writes Book
BY SYLVIA GRACE

This is about Margaret Flint,
who had six children and wanted
to make money for them, and
she did it. A middle-aged house
wife Of Bay st., st. Louis, Mo-,
she could not leave her family;
she had no business training.
You would say the case looked
hopeless-that there are millions
like her, and the best they can
do is to settle down to cooking,
canning and keeping quiet.
But Margaret Flint has Just
made $4,000, and proved her
case not at all hopeless. How did
she do it?
She did not throw $3.50 of her
husbands salary-he is Lester
Warner Jacobs, manager Of the
Federal Receivership Of the New
Orleans Pontchartrain Bri d g e
Company-into the sweepstakes
gullet, that swallows millions and
pays out a few rare thousands.
Instead, she thought; "How can
I EARN money? What can I do
that is WORTH money!"
Her answer was: write q
novel," She wrote 1t, and it
earned for her $4,000. You may

There are two kinds of gamblers.
One bets money and prays for
luck-in which, arithmetic will
tell you, the odds are millions to
one against you. The other kind
of gambler bets his life, the little
extra working time each Of us
owns. He believes in an idea, and
bets all his time, energy, ingenu'
ity on that idea.
That is the kind of gambler
Margaret Flint is. She wanted to
get "above the crowd" out Of the
rut Of worry and struggle. And
so she "took q chance" on hard
