BLIZZARD STRIKES
FLOODED AREA AS
100000 HOMELESS
CONTINUED from page one)

the call of rescue workers in the
flood stricken area - an expanse
stretching from headwaters in up
per Pennsylvania to point below
the confluence of the Ohio and
Mississippi rivers ut Cairo, III.
The number of refugees was
mounting hourly. Many were
feared missing. President Roose.
Welt at q cabinet meeting ordered
that all resources of the nation be
modified to aid the stricken.
Nowhere along the vast river
routes in the mid-western and
southern states affected was there
indication of a let-up in the mer-
CHESS dement's that have brought
the floods. Cold, drizzling rains in
many sections brought additional
suffering to bedraggled refugees
Sleet blanketed the temporary
homes of others.
With the drop in temperatures,
veteran observers saw hope that
the rain. which has plagued the
flood area for more than a week,
would abate, but feared the con.
SEQUENCES to the health of the
poorly-clad thousands who have
been horded into temporary RELIEF
camps.
A minor epidemic Of influenza
and pneumonia was reported ut
Portsmouth, o., and the city's
four hospitals were unable to care
for additional patients. More than
500 refugees were given temper,
ary treatment and then shuttled
off to other quarters. There was
a scarcity of doctors to admins
ter medical aid. :.
A similar situation prevailed IN
and around Rector, Ark, where
121 cases of influenza were re-
ported. Illness was also prevalent
among the victims in the Card
well-Kennett, Mo-, area.
In numerous sections of OHIO
rescue work was hampered by the
lack of small boats.
Railroad communications over
the stricken area were practicaiiy
at a standstill. Few trains were
able to move in or out of the
cities in the heart of the flooded
sections.
The Pennsylvania railroad was
rerouting all it's trains from Chi
cago to Florida through Washing
ton, D. C. Other lines were TAX,
ing similar eircuitous routes TO ge'
into major cities.
Louisville. KY, was being cut
off from all outside railway con
| nections. A train which bore the
city a supply of much-needed milf
was believed to be the last to en-
ter the city.

mendations in other counties.

Dealer in Red Underwear
Doing Thriving Business

Toledo, Ohio.-E. M. Hulce says
Toledo is the Neutrality-suspicious.
Stunning capital of the world. Hulce
is the proprietor of shop which
sells only underwear and hosiery.
He believes he has the finest list of
red underwear customers in exist
ence.
When he started building up his
clientele it was in the days when
people bought red underwear be-
cause it was wool, not because it
was red.
Nowadays, the conservatives who
still wear flaming garments next to
their skin do so because of tradi-
ton. cts not red underwear un-
less it's really red," they say.
Ffulce says he sells by mail order
to customers all over the world.
Not the fy-by-night kind of folk that
wear one kind of underwear one
week and another the next. But
solid citizens who know value when
they see it.
Hulce points out that the gar
ments are a fine long-term invest
ment. They seldom wear out. Mod
els and styles never change. Nor
do prices. That's fixed at $3.50.
