TORNADO SPREAD RUININWISCONSIN Two Injured, 100 Cattle Dead and Buildings on Three Farms Demolished. By the Associated Press. DARLINGTON, Wis., April 8.—Two persons were injured, buildings on three farms were demolished, homes and barns on more than 50 other farms were wrecked and at least 100 head of cattle were killed by a tornado which struck Northeastern Lafayette County and Northwestern Greene County Sat- urday night. Despite the severity of the storm, no one was killed. Severed telephone and telegraph lines and blocked roads made the territory almost inaccessible and it was impossible to obtain reliable estimates of the damage. Herbert Einerson, one of the persons injured, told of how he was picked up by the wind from his barnyard near here and carried nearly half a mile be- fore he was dropped to the ground, breaking several ribs. g The, force of the wind was spent over a distance of about 20 miles. —y— e COLORED MEETINGS FOR DRY LAW BEGIN Clinton N. Howard Speaks in Inter- est of Unifying Race Here in Support of Amendment ‘The first of a series of mass meetings seeking to unify the colored population of Washington in its support of the eighteenth amendment was held yes- terday afternoon in the Nineteenth Street Baptist Church under auspices of the National United Committee for Law Enforcement. Clinton N. Howard, chairman of the committee, spoke at this and two similar meetings in other churches. The series will extend over & period of four weeks. Those present at the meetings, spon- sored by 100 colored pastors, adopted a resolution pledging their support to President Hoover's enforcement pro- gram. In urging colored people to support the eighteenth amendment, Mr. Howard told them that race rights can never be obtained by denouncing the' white | man for violating one part of the Con- stitution and themselves violating | another.

FIELD WORKERS COMBAT HIGH MORTALITY OF MOTHERS Department of Labor Seéks | .Reason Why This Country Leads 18 Others. - Dr. Frances Rothbert Relates Experiences in Virginia and Kentucky. 1t is far cry from the stubborn mule, balking on rock-bound mountain passes, to the happy, gurgling infant nestling in his proud mother’s healthy arms. It is a hard road which the Depart- ment of Labor’s Children’s Bureau field workers travel in their march against the United States’ tragically | high mother mortality rate. But it is the hard-headed mule, the paths of personal discomfiture and the willingness of the Children’s Bureau workers which combine now to strike this country from the head of the list of 18 nations in the number of mothers whose lives are lost as children are born. The Department of Labor studied the records of just that many nations and the United States, despite its boast- ed standards in hygiene, sanitation and medical science, was found to have the highest mother mortality rate of them all. Two years have elapsed since that study. Hope to Lower Rate. Out of the remote regions of the | United States; out from its congested | cities are coming doctors of the bud reau’s maternity and infant hygiene di- vision bringing with them the fruits of painstaking research and investiga- tion of the condition$ they found. It is upon their reports that the Children's Bureau hopes to base findings which will lower the mother mortality rate. Dr. Frances Rothbert is one of these. ‘While her official report on her work in Virginia and Kentucky is not to be made public at this time, the stories of her own experiences with rough roads, bad weather—and mules—bear testi- mony to the gallant attack the bureau’s “field workers” are making upon death as the companion of life-a-borning. ‘Somehow mules made a mighty strong | impression upon this young physician, | who took her bachelor of arts degree | at the University of Indiana in 1917, and her M. D. a few years later at| Columbia University. There were days on end when she rode those hard- headed beasts to reach the humble home of some little family tucked up | in the mountains. Most of the time she found it fun, but not a little of the time, thanks to flying sleet and snow, it was labor and honest suffering. Then | other times the mule would be his “‘orneriest.” | Spur Proves Help. On one of those occasions, Dr. Roth- bert, bought herself a single spur to use in her argument with the beast to get him to carry-on. The spur worked beautifully; a little prod and the mule got the idea and carried his burden just where she wanted him to. Now Dr. Rothbert and her associates in this field work of mercy have expense ac- counts and when she made out her account for the trip on which she bought the spur, she entered that item | in her list—"one spur.” But Uncle Sam says that if he has an article on hand, a similar one should not be purchased, and so the depart- ment refused to reimburse the doctor. Its explanation was that when it paid for the spur the spur at once would become the property of the Government | and the Government already owned a | spur or two. Further, if any other of the Children’s Bureau investigating phy- sicians needed a spur to urge their mules to locomotion they would be obliged to send to the .Department of Labor for the spur which Dr. Rothbert had purchased. Anyway—Dr. Rothbert paid for the spur. It was up in her “mule country” | where Dr. Rothbert found superstition playing its active part in cases where evan the simplest rule of hygiene might have saved life. Scissors and razor blades were deposited beneath the pil- lows of patients. Needles, strung on thread, were worn about other suffer- ers’ necks. The idea? The scissors, the razor blades and the needles are sup- posed to cut the pain. Death takes its toll. The weather and the impassable roads which delayed Dr. Rothbert’s journeys to homes would hold up also other medical men whose assistance would be so sorely needed when a mother and her babe would be struggling for life. This factor of inaccessibility itself, the doctor believes, is responsible for many of the deaths in America’s rural sec- tions. Wolves Threaten Woman. While she herself may have escaped real danger in her travels, Dr. Rothbert the story of one of her fellow workers who suffered painfully when the automobile in which she waliyiding in New Mexico broke down. Th&Worker was Miss Anita Jones, who formerly was on duty in Washington, and the accident befell her last Winter. Miss Jones was out in the open prairie country several miles from the nearest town when her automokile broke down. She and a companion set out to reach the settlement on foot and when they were crossing a frozen stream Miss Jones fell through the ice, breaking her ankle and soaking herself in the icy water. She sat on the bank of the stream in the biting cold while her com- panion continued on to the town for help. The woman's clothing froze to her body and howling coyotes gathered in the surrounding hills, gradually ergy was called upon to drive away the animals until after several holrs her rescuers came. Besides Dr. Rothbert, who now is com- woman' doctors o fthe Children’s Bu- reau staff are working in nearby sec- tions of Virginia and Kentucky. They are Dr.t me: Hennessy and Dr. Margare art. I;e“splte her youth, Dr. Rothbert car- ried into her work a wealth of experi- ence, for, following her graduation from Columbia, she served an internship in the New York City Hospital,. during which she rode the emergency ambu- lances with the other young doctors of the institution. Subsequently she did extensive hygienic welfare work under the Kentucky Board of Health. BRITISH FLYER CRASHES 100 FEET AT TAKE-OFF A name to guice you when the roof oes wrong.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 8.—The Great Lakes diversion controversy, now farmed out by the United States Supreme Court to Charles Evans Hughes, special master |in chancery, was born nearly 30 years ago. . It is baséd on Chicago's questioned right to alter the face of the earth. The next phase in the dispute be- tween Chicago and neighboring States of the Great Lakes district is set for April 15 in Washington, when argu- ments will be presented that the city has not complied with a War Department order. ‘The case followed the building of the drainage canal in 1900. Long before the turn of the century. the growing city discovered that it could not con- tinue to dump waste products into Lake Michigan and still drink lake water. So over a ridge between the lake and the Desplaines River Valley, engineers Toisted the short and crooked Chicago River, connecting the lake and the Desplaines by the canal. Amount of Diversion. Between 8,000 and 10,000 cubic feet of water per second were needed to dilute the city's sewage and carry it ‘This diversion was the gage of battle. Lake States contended the diversion lowered lake levels and menaced navigation. Also, said they, disposing of its sewage was Chicago’s problem, not the lake’s. About 12 years ago the complaint found expression in an injunction suit. Eight years later an injunction was issued restraining the saniiary district of Chicago from diverting more than 4,167 cubic feet a second. The district was permitted to draw water at the old rate, but the War De- partment demanded that sewage-dis- posal plans be given a clear track. The permit for this extra diversion ends with this year. In his “come-back” campaign Mayor Thompson defied the Government to challenge Chicago's right to draw the Lake water, and promised he would not permit the installation of meters, a provision the War Department de- manded be carried out. Another Injunction Asked, Now there is before the Supreme Court a petition from Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York for another injunction to halt water removal. The court, acting upon a report by Mr. Hughes, already has signified that the diversion of water for sewage dilution and disposal is illegal, and that only a fraction of the present diversion could be allowed, and that only for navigation. Hughes held a hearing here in March to determine if Chicago was going ahead with the sewage-disposal plan de- manded by the War Department. The district now is in an embarrassing posi- tion. It is bankrupt and its bonding power: is seriously hampered by a hos- tile Legislature. ‘The Washington hearing April 15, outlining the complaining States’ con- tention that Chicago is not carrying out the War Department's order, will be the last. Mr. Hughes will submit his port to the Supreme Court in June, when the tribunal recesses, or in Oc- tober, when it Teconvenes. Swimmer Fails in Record Try.

By the Associated Press. CHICAGO, April 8.—A resolution de- manding an investigation of the Fed- eral Reserve Board's policy tending to curb stock market tmwm will be presented by Representative Prank R. Reid of Illinois at the forthcoming spe- cial session of Congress. “The present action of the Federal Reserve Board may be as unwise as were the drastic deflation policies charged to it in 1920,” Representative Reid said yesterday. “The country has not yet fully recovered from the paralysis in- &cm upon agriculture by its policy en.” He charged that the board had ex- - ceeded its powers in forcing call money to 20 per cent, and that the action was reflected in usurious rates of interest on_commercial loans. The resolution will call for appoint- ment of a select committee of nine members of Congress and the committee would be required to report to Congress the answers to elght specific questions of a technical nature. Representative Reid proposes to show by the answers that the current stock market speculation is not inconsistent with sound banking. He asks the committee in his resolu- tion to determine whether the board is { unduly influenced by conditions abroad, | and asserts that the Federal Reserve poliey has improved British credit con- | ditions to the detriment of the United More than $5,000,000 has been con- tributed to the New York City Federa~ tion of Jewish Philanthropic Societieg in & drive for the needs in 1929 of 91 institutions.
