Sweeping up from out of the Poto- mac, the disturbance swooped and ‘twisted intermittently but concen- trated its fury upon the school house here where 61 pupils, teachers and attendants were gathered. Eleven of the children were killed and most of the others injured when the wooden walls of the building we eized and lung flat, At least a dozen farm houses and barns in the path were leveled to (the earth and the damage was esti-| mated at thousands of dollars. The} loss of life was small in comparison to the strength and power of the dis- turbance because it pussed through sparsely settled regions, The school house was the place ciable ered. Its contents, human and inanimate, Were strewn over a radius of more than a quarter of a mile. Bodies Carried 750 Feet Some of the children had been blown at least 750 feet. Other bod- ies were impaled against some tree in mute evidence of the storm's dev- astation. There had been, according to Miss Ethel Graves, year old teacher of ‘the elementary class which consist- ed of 35 of the younger children, no warning and no time to ant avoid the shock, Cut and bruised about the eyes, nose and head, she refused medical attention until she knew everything possible had been done for her charges, 3 was just a few minutes before 3 o'clock,” she said, “that I heard a rumbling noise and the wind seemed to increase tremendously. 1 was get- ‘ting ready to take the children to some safer place when the glass from all windows blew out.

Each name that passed over the wire meant death or injury to some friend or acquaintance of Miss Car- penter—she cried but she continued aoe long ‘hours to plug through the} calls. Every Family Affected Into each home in the community the hand of tragedy reached and scat: tered death or injury to its occu- pante or relatives and friends, but through some quirk, the tornado avoided the center of La Plata, which embraces only four square blocks.
