little shoes with the scuffed-up toes,
That look so small in his fathers hand,
Weren't you proud and big and grand
When you started this morning for
No-One- Knows?
No-One-Knows, with it's belfries tall,
It's golden ramparts and shining towers,
Knights and fairies and magic powers
To tempt the heart of a traveller small!
Now dusk has come and his feet are still
Ere ever his knightly spurs are won,
For his body was broken and crushed and done
While yet he trudged to the first green hill
0 little shoes with the blood-stained toes
o light gone out of boyish face,
Was this the end of his splendid race?
Was this his City of No-One-Knows?

Cyanide for Household Pests
is the title of a new circular
revised by DR.. Harlow B. Mills,
Montana State college entomol-
ogist, and issued by the Mon-
tana Extension service. He
points out that while various
methods have been used for ex-
terminating clothes moths, car
pet beetles, bed bugs and other
pests, repeated trials have dem
onstrated that the NOSE effec-
tive. control is by fumigating
with a poison gas known as by
drocyanic acid gas. The circular
gives explicit directions for fu-
migating by this method and
emphasses precautions to be
taken to prevent accidents that
might result from improper
handling of the materials. Cop

measure in 1920 that a group Of that
sort will have been summoned to act
nationally. Fact-finding bodies have
been called to adjudicate local dis
putes.
Some railroad spokesmen have in
dicated that If q strike materialized
they would not attempt to fight it,
but would suspend operations.
H. A. Enochs. chairman Of the
committee representing railroad man
agement. said the carriers were agrees
able to an arbitration proposal. The
union leaders declined, however.
The proposed wage curtailment
would amount to an estimated $780,
600 900 annually, Mr.. Enochs said.
Federal mediators entered the dis
pute after prolonged negotiations be-
tween the unions and the carriers
failed to make headway.
George M. Harrison, chairman Of
the Railway Labor Executives Asso-
ciatton. representing 10 brotherhoods,
said:
Organized railroad labor Is deter
mined to preserve existing wage lev
eh. II the railroad mAnagements
persist In their wage-cutting program,

Railroad employees and the manage
ment came to grips over the question
Of wages last year. but the dispute

HOPKINS PUSHES
HURRICANE RELIEF
Rehabilitation Is Mapped as
Identified Dead List
Hits $50.
BY the Associated Press.

BOSTON. Sept. 26.-As Harry L.
Hopkins. national Works Progress ad-
ministrator. mapped rehabilitation
program with Governors Of the hurri-
cane stricken New England States.
relief workers today brought the total
identified dead to above $50 through
discovery of more bodies in the storm
area.
"The first thing the Federal Gov
eminent wants to know" Mr.. Hop
kins told six New England Governors
and representatives from New York,
rs what needs to be done, what should
be done and when and how it should
be DONE"
He announced all storm projects
would be put on an emergency basis,
with all ordinary regulations waived
and no limit placed.
Damage Put at see, 900 900.
Mr.. Hopkins toured the devastated
areas by airplane and automobile over
the week end. Authorities estima ted
property damage in Rhode Island.
Massachusetts,, Connecticut, Vermont
and New Hampshire at about 5000 ,000.-
900 and the latest toll Of death by
States stood:
Rhode Island. 23s.
Massachusetts,. l28.
Connecticut, 68.
New Hampshire, Is.
Vermont, S.
That list included only identified
dead and it appeared probable the
| final toll would be more than 500.
Bodies still were being recovered. par
ticularly in Rhode Island along the
l0-mile shore stretch from Westerly
to Charlestown.- There was no central
clearing agency to give final list OF
victims.
Describing conditions in the shat
tered districts as "as awful as any
have ever seen,' James L. Fieser,
vice chairman Of the American Red
Cross. said that organization would
assume entire responsibility" for re-
habilitation OF victims unable to pro-
vide their own means"
As q result, he said, Federal, State
and municipal agencies would be
free to concentrate on plans for
highways. bridge and general State
and municipal rehabilitation"
Danger Of Disease Averted.
Meanwhile emergency public and
private utility crews continued the
stupendous task of restoring railroad
electric. gas and telephone service
A number of communities were al
ready back to normal and others were
being restored rapidly. The danger
Of typhoid in the flooded areas of
Western Massachusetts and Connecti-
cut appeared to have been averted
by the speedy arrival of serums.
Both the Connecticut and Merri-
mack Rivers we're reported receding
rapidly and communities along the
banks Of those two streams were re-
turning to normal conditions.
