CINCINNATI Turns.
TO REHABILITATION
River Slowly Releasing Grip
on City-Lights Are
Turned On.
~ the Associated Press.


CINCINNATI, January 2s-Cin-
einnau stood ready with mops, mus
Gle and high determination today as
the Ohio River, still far out OF its
banks, slowly but surely released its
hlighting grip.
sOut of the despair and destruction
which the river brought grew Re-
fiabilitation Committee, bent on max
ing q speedy cleanup Of the haplesS
city.
Precious water flowed into the wa
Ger mains from artesian wells-mil-
Hons Of gallons of 1t, but still not
enough.
Some houses long dark glowed with
o light or two again last night, but
the power shortage was still acute.
The smooth-running Red Cross
machine helped thousands of refugees
to adopt a brighter outlook. New
''come and carry" water stations made
life easier for the householder with
unresponsive faucets.
No Typhoid at Present.
The threat of disease fingered, but
DR.. Richard S. Austin, health CO.
ordinator, said there was no typhoid
in the city at present. He added the
monotonous, but important phrase,
''boil the water"
All, however, was not hope and
good cheer. A fifth of the city still
lay under brown water. Business was
crippled. Hundreds Of houses sag
ged in their watery beds. Empty
tank cars were af1oat in railroad
yards.
The river stage hovered slightly over
79 feet, about foot under the record
crest reached Tuesday, but its move
ment was downward-at the rate of
two or three hundredths Of a foot an
hour.
The Rehabilitation Committee took
form at a meeting of Federal, city,
State and county officials. c. M.
Bookman, executive director of the
Community Chest, was named to head
the committee.
Estimates have placed the damage
in the city at from $40 900, 900 to SIS
100000, but the true extent will not
be known until the bottom of the food
waters is reached.
Rehabilitation will start as soon as
the waters have receded sufficiently to
permit work. At the present rate of
fall it will be at least several days.
To Remove Mud and Debris.
First will come removal of mud and
debris. Buildings will need inspec-
ton, and many will be repaired or
torn down. Committees will be named
to study each of the major problems.
The Rehabilitation Committee will
determine the work involved and then
turn 1t over to the Works Progress Ad-
ministration as a project, officials said

"Water" - From Many Words

substance for which every race
of people has name. While our
word water" is, in spelling, iden-
tical with the Old Gothic and not
dissimilar to the Anglo-Saxon
"waeter," it is derived from the
Sanskrit 'udum" and Greek
"uder" or "vudor." The Russian
"voda' and Polish "woda" are, of
course, direct derivations with al
lowance for the substitution of
letters "u," "v,' and wv" that so
often confuse a student of words.
In Latin, the words "udus,"
"uda" and "udum," though de-
rived from the Sanskrit, appear

You're going on? Jones urged

Eric nodded. He asked me to
come to him in Paris this fall"
The smile that broke over her
face was like a sunburst.
Bully for you!" she cried, and
stretched out her hands.
II knew you'd be glad" he said,
grinning back at her. He put his
hands over hers, gathered them
tight, and at the contact the hard
pumping set up in his chest again.
"You-You don't know how I've
wanted to see you!" he said. "Oh!

that you can see someone once
and feel as if-as If all your life
before had been just "a mark

"It-might," she said.

His eyes cleared. He took step
nearer. II - I want you to see
something" he said, and drew her
toward him, around the easel.
She looked down on the canvas;
on face alive and lovely beyond
any actuality. Her face, and yet
not hers; a face painted by "a
lovers hand. She looked, and
slowly a flush rose to her cheeks.
She said, after an interval:
What are you going to call

Eve? ?"
He nodded. THE first woman.

her: You'll always be Eve = to

Her cheeks now were like two
burning flags Of red. She moved
from him, sat down. He came and
dropped beside her.

in her lap. He reached over and
took one.

She gave sharp start. She had
not expected this.
"Please!" He pleaded. please

He tried to laugh. After while
his mind began to take in things.
They weren't such a bad lot, these
people of his fathers world.
Rather like children, when you
beheld them at close range.
"This-Miss Calender" he said
suddenly. DO you-know her? ?"
She gave little start. yes"
she said.
IF she should pass, will you
point her out?
She nodded. Then: "Why?" she
asked.

said softly.

She regarded him thoughtfully

"Awfully," said Eric.

He couldn't go on. Oh! How did
you say to a girl that you loved
her? Suddenly, as he struggled
for words she leaned toward him.
THAT anyone could be SO heart
starved" she said. And kissed
him. Then, before he could stop
her, she scrambled to her feet
and was gone.
Night came, hushed and cool
~ and magic after the heat of
the day, and in the drawing-room
Eric wandered like lost sheep.
At last he saw her, coming into
the room from the hall. At her
appearance several men rose and
headed toward her but Eric was
before them. He took her by the
arm and led her back into the
hall and up the stairs. On the
first landing was an old Flemish
chest, like a long, low seat. Here
they could see, and yet, unless
someone came directly to the foot
of the steps and looked up, re-
main unseen.

The medical term "sudorific" Is
also a derivation and refers to a
medicine inducing perspiration.
The Latin word "sudarium" with
application to a "sweat-cloth" or
handkerchief, is also applied to
the handkerchief st. Veronica is
said to have offered to Christ
while He was carrying the cross
and upon which, according to
sacred legend, His face was i'm

the compassionate woman.
The Russian word "voda,"
meaning water, forms also the
foundation for their word "vod-

back to reality. His father came
up. His eyes were bewildered. II

It was she who answered.

His father stood still. And alb
ruptly he looked neither young
nor eager.
Under it's bronze Eric's face
was white. He stared at his father,
unable to speak, numb between
hard-held grievances and a mount
ing tenderness.
"In the fall" he heard Carlys
Calender saying, Eric wants to
go abroad"
Eric ?" his father echoed.
"Abroad?"
ITO study" said Carlys Callen-
der, cutting straight. "To paint,

His father stood speechless a
moment.
Painting? You, Eric? ?"
Eric nodded.

father. II didn't know, Eric, that

His eyes, wide, mutely appeal

they were seeing him for the first

n Clearly Eric saw that. And
before that knowledge all the re-
sentiment, all the bitterness that
he had stored up through the
years fell away. He knew warm
emotion, fierce exultant joy. He
wanted to cry out: Its all right,
Dad!" But the habit of years is
strong. He didn't cry out. He
couldn't.
His father turned and went
down the stairs, into the library
where it was quiet and deserted,
And suddenly the fingers twisted
in Eric's withdrew themselves.
Carlys Calender came to her feet.
After him" she cried. And
gave Eric a little push toward the
stairs.
His father was sitting on the
bench before the fireplace, under
the painting Sargent had done OF
his mother, and he was looking
up at her.
DO you see the resemblance 2
his father asked. He did not turn
his head.
Eric stared. And then it came
to him-the thing about Carlys
Calender that had so disturbed
him, that had sent all his mem
cries focking and all his senses
searching that first time he had
beheld her. She was like his
mother. Gold like her, courage
like her, radiance like her! He

love with her, not as Carlys Cal

DHE spawning ground of major gangdom
is rotten politics. Without political pro-
lection reaching into seats of govern
ment. courts, police departments and
prosecutors headquarters, organized gangs
would never exist Spasmodic crime could be
smashed overnight.
When | speak of politics in this con-
necton, it should be borne in mind that
mean corrupt politics. To discredit all men
engaged in political activity is utterly disas
trous.
1t would be useless to rail against this
situation if the poitico-Crime alliance could
not be crushed. But it can.

few years ago, gangsters had the populace
by the throat Thirty thousand people feared
for their lives They dared not even speak of
the rottenness for fear of sawed-off shotguns.
For five years gangdom overlooked that
community. Eighty-two murders were COM
mtted.
Then federal agents, at the risk of their
lives, went in to ferret out the guilty.
Came the day of days, when miniature
army of federal men descended with axes and
gurls. Every dive and den was raided. The
penitentiary received the guilty ones.
In the five years preceding the raid, eighty
two murders: in the five years following, not a
gang murder in that city.
1t can be done. No city need feel helpless.
But the price is absolute determination,
courage and civic -mindedness on the part of
the people. and honesty, fearlessness and
