Damage from the floods, which

In the city and suburbs, was esti-
mated at Is million dollars.
An estimated 100000 persons

suit of the flood. Power plants
which were knocked out virtually
halted operations at nearly a score
OF big industrial plants.
Other thousands were kept from
Jobs by damage to business build
ingS and factories, flooded homes
and transportation problems. Pay
roll losses added to the property
damage. t
Although Chicago's flood threat
appeared easing, critical flood
danger continued in nearby north
ern Indiana communities. Heavy
rain fell in the Hammond area
during the night and hundreds of
persons were driven from their
homes by the flooding Little CaM-
met River,
About 1000 families already have
been evacuated from sections of
South Hammond, Highland, Num-
ster and Whiting.
National Guardsmen were moved

Artist Will Get Stove Repaired
In Time 70 Keep The Queen Warm

LONDON Up - Portrait painter
Pietro Annigoni admits he may
feel at ease in his artistic attic, but
Queen Elizabeth II might not if
he doesn't get his stove fixed.
Annigoni has been commissioned
by the Ancient Fishmongers Guild
to paint the Queens portrait and
Her Majesty has agreed to pose at
Is sittings in the artists Kensing-
ton walkup studio.
1.-THE Queen is so thoughtful, !"
said the Florence painter. "At
Buckingham Palace l should have
felt awed. Here ! shall feel at
ease.
Now here comes the problem Of
the stove, an outsized potbellied
affair usually used for heating
British army barracks. It stands
in a corner of Annigoni's studio.
Last week Annigoni started por-
trait of the Duchess of Devon
shire. Before putting paint to can
vas he stirred up the stove.
A roar from the squat heater
shattered the artistic setting. The
lid shot into the air. The door blew
open. SCOT and black smoke bill
lowed over the room. Red-hot en-
bers. poured on the carpet, and
the duchess, who was sitting three
feet away, showed symptoms of
fright. But no one was injured.
"The studio does not warm UP
very quickly" the painter said.
The Queen viii have to sit near
the stove to keep warm. l shall
have to have it fixed"

1t is also likely the Chinese are

lave been draining economically

vice the size of Texas, with many

The Russians apparently want to
continue exploiting both those rich

Early in the 18th Century, Jona-
than Swift, the eminent Irish satir-
ist, wrote in his Voyage to Brob-
dingnag:" whoever could make
two ears of corn, or two blades of
gsass to grow upon a spot of
ground where only one grew be-
fore, would deserve more of man

to his country than the whole race
of politicians put together
If Swift, who died in 1745, were
able to speak from beyond the
grave, his advice to America UNI

Most Of our citizens are beginning
to realize that wasteful expenditure
of their tax money is Public
Enemy Number One. At the polls
in November, they can be expected
70 register their approval Of those
legislators who have not only
preached economy in government
but have actually practiced it.
At the start of this column |
quoted Grover Cleveland. Please let
me end it with another statement
of this great Democratic President,
this time taken from his Inaugural
Address of November 4, 1893: "The
lessons Of patcrnalism ought to be
unlcarncd and the better lesson
taught that while the people should
periodically and chcerfully sup
port their government, its functions
do not include support of the peo-
pie"
