New Roofs to Be Ready
For Congress Opening

The House and Senate Chambers,
vacated by lawmakers for several
weeks while the roofs were strength
ened, will be ready for the opening
of the new Congress next Friday.
But the job is temporary one and
network of steel girders will clutter
both rooms.
When Congress recesses for a
sufficient time, the steel will be torn
out and permanent repairs made.
At present the old roofs, declared
unsafe by engineers, rest on the
new steel framework.

Giant Waves Pound

Conapsing Buildings
6-Foot 6-Inch Tide HurIs
Combers Along Shore;

BY the Associated Press.

by tne ASSOCldteu fTeSS.
LOS ANGELES, Dec. 27.-Giant
waves, borne on extremely high tides,
continued to pound Southern Cali
fornia coastal sections for miles to-
day after collapsing numerous beach
houses and commercial shops and
causing many families to flee.
Redondo Beach suffered much of
the damage, although further south,
at San Pedro, giant crevasses Wild
ened over large section of rain
soaked Point Fermin, a high am
bling bluff" that for years has been
slowly slipping into the sea, carry
ing stretches of pavement and some
abandoned houses with it.
At Redondo Beach, where a major
disaster committee assembled and
American Legion guards and all
available police were called out to
patrol the area, some homes and
apartments completely collapsed.
while others fell in a jumbled mass
part way through their undermined
foundations.
6-Fo0t 6-Inch Tide.
A 6-foot 6-inch tide hurled the
pounding combers along the shore
line yesterday and an even higher
tide was predicted for today.
Barricades of sandbags, concrete
fragments and timbers were piled
along the beachline to protect re-
manning buildings, while a special
appeal was dispatched to Gov. Olson
and the County Board of Supervisors
for more rock to be dumped along
the sand.
City Councilman C. w. Chidley
estimated at S250,000 the damage al
ready done to Redondo Beach.
Scores of residents near the beach
spent much of the night removing
furniture and other personal effects
from their homes
Other Cities Damaged.
Long Beach, Venice and other
south coastal cities also took steps

to barricade their water fronts, but
reported that although some beach
property had been wrecked, the
damage was not as great as at
Redondo. Cabrillo Beach and on
north to Santa Monica, Santa Bar
bara and Port San Luis, near San
Luis Obispo, reported heavy
pounding.
Comdr. James Moore of the Navy
photographic service blamed the
turbulent ocean on the usual high
tide period regularly experienced at
this season and the disturbing ef-
fects of recent storms at sea that
brought heavy rain to the coast.

ABERDEEN, Wash. Dec. 27.-The
entire south wall of the 82-year- old
Willapa Harbor lighthouse at North
Cove collapsed yesterday under
mined by high tide and heavy surf.
When built in 1858, the light was
more than a mile from the channel,
but shifting currents steadily eroded
the shore. Less than week ago
the light was abandoned.

Respite

Noun. A pause: an internal Of rest

Noun. A pause; an internal OF rest.
The common mispronunciation
'res-SPITE' results from the SINH
larity of respite to despite. Though
the words are alike in spelling,
there is no further resemblance be-
tween them.
Respite is accented on the first
syllable which rhymes with less;
the second syllable rhymes with
bit. not bite.
Correct pronunciation:
RESS-pit.

buked for saying Am I not?".

Is correct? Foreign Born.
Answer: There are many who

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

A thousand years ago the people
of Norway were not Christians. In
stead they believed in gods and god
desses, such as Thor, Odin, Balder
and Freya. Here is an old Morse
story which was told to explain "the
beginning of the world"
"At first there was no heaven or
earth, but great pit with foun-
tain. Out Of the pit flowed IL riv-
ers, but their water froze into solid
ice, and the pit itself came to be
filled with ice.
ITO the south there was world
OF mist, and warm wind blew from
the mist. 1t melted the river ice,
and clouds Of vapor rose in the air.
Out of the vapor, Ymir the Frost
Giant was formed, also a COW.
-"Over the bottomless pit there
still was ice, and the frost on the
ice had a taste of sale. The COW
licked the frost. at a certain place,
and q being with head, hair and
body appeared. This being was a
god, and he later was married to the
daughter Of giant.
Among the sons of the god was
one named Odin. He and his BROTH
ers struck down the Frost Giant.
From his bones, they made the
mountains. His blood was turned

England and France. We are told
that he had a talk with a hermit,
and then became Christian. The
next king, also named Olaf, worked
hard to make his people give
up their old faith. He is known as
st. Olaf, the patron saint of Nor

A story about Olaf says that he
once broke open the image Of an
old pagan god. From the image

Danaher, Republicans Best Bet

It appears now that Labor Commis- sioner Cornelius J. Danaher, better known as the father of the Workmen's Compen- sation Act will throw his hat into the political ring. According to reports which have come out of the State Capitol, Con- missioner Danaher informally an nounced his candidacy with these words, eff the party seeks man-the man should be where the party seeks him."
 It is still long way off before the day of the Republican State Convention, yet already the mention of his name as possible gubernatorial candidate brings spontaneous and favorable reaction. The name of "Danaher' is known 1n every city and town in the State of Connecticut for honesty, integrity and fearlessnesS. Such a man is Connie Danaher".
 It will be recalled that the name "Danaher" spelled defeat for the Demo- crats in Meriden two years ago by VOL ing majority of 750 and only month and half ago it again spelled defeat for the same party in the same city by vot- ing majority of over $500. The Demo- cratic state organization received It's most severe setback from the hands ol another member of that famous "Danaher' tam- ilv. when the eldest son, John A., was elected to the United States Senate by an overwhelming majority. It would be well for state Democrats to figure accordingly this November MT. Danaher would be tough candidate to beat.
 John Danaher was elected to the United States Senate by majority four times vreater than that received by Baldwin, which shows plainly that the people of Ghis state look kindly on the Danaher Family of Meriden. Governor Baldwin from present indications would rather ret the COP. nomination for vice-preSl- dent of the United States or even more to the point = for the United States senate. If such is the case, watch out TOT Cor nelius J. Danaher. He's the Repuollcan party's best bet
