SHANGHAI, Aughst 26.—Authorita- tive estimates of the death toll from | noodu In cemnl China still were lack- ing today, but unofficial fgures placed the loss of life at 25,000 to 200,000 in Hupeh Province alone. An area of many thousands of square miles between Nanking and the tri- cities of Hankow, Wuchang and Han- ynn;, is submerged, only the tops of | hills rising above the murky waters. Tens of millions of persons are abso- lutely destitute, and it is feared many | more thousands must perish before the waters subside Although the Yangtze River at Han- kow continues to subside from its record high level, its still boiling cur- | rent carries away its daily quota of | more than 1,000 bodies.

CONNER CAPTURES MISSISSPP VOTE potate [Victory on Primary Ballot As- sures Election as Governor. By the Associated Press. JACKSON, Miss, August 26.—Martin ennett (Mike) Conner, Covington County lawyer-farmer, on the face of nearly complete returns from the Democratic primary run-off, was assured of the governorship of Mississipp! today. Prom the first hour of returns, Con- ner took the lead over Hugh L. White, 50-year-old millionaire lumberman, and his majority had increased to 17,880 votes in the returns from 1,335 of the 1,590 precincts. The vote stood, 126,- 467 for Conner to 108,587 for White. While yesterday's ccatest officially meant the Democratic momination of Conner, it was virtually the same as elction as the Republicans do not seri- ously contest office in Mississippi. The election also represented a run- off from the regular August 4 primary for three uth=r State offices, attorney of the State Supreme Court. For attorney general, Greek L. Rice, | defeated Rush M. Knox, former attorney | general, who resigned under fire and sought vindication. In the race for State tax collector, .lemss B.

Broom, Bil- | bo appointze, and carried to defeat the last of the candidates with any sem- Xb}ll‘we of connection with the faction headed by Gov. Theodore G. Bilbo.

By the Associated Press. ROME, August 26.—Premier Musso- lini and Pope Plus are understood to have agreed upon the general terms of & settlement by which the 15,000 Cath- olic Action Clubs in Italy will be re- opened. A number of details remain to be settled, but it was said at the Vati- can that an accord is expected within a week, perhaps within a few days. The Jesuit father, Tacchi Venturi, one of the premier's oldest friends, is supposed to be the ambassador who prepared the terms of agreement. He is | a little known priest without rank or official authority, but he has the confi- dence of the two rulers with whom he has been conferring for some tlme The agreement in prospect, it is derstood, contemplates Catholic Action Clubs in Italy last May.

The way in which that com- bination will operate is visualized above. At the left is Klingle Valley. The air of that valley is kept cool because it is protected from the heat of the sun by the shade of great trees. It is kept fresh and pure by an abundance of plant life. The giant fan in the center represents a bat- tery of seven immense ventilators, varying in height from seven to ten feet, which are now be- ing installed in the air intakes of The Kennedy- Warren. It has been definitely proved that on hot Summer days the temperature of these air intakes averages ten degrees cooler than the temperature throughout the city.

It will not be lirnply “another ventflnting lynem." because it will do more than circulate air. It will be what has been accurately and honestly termed an “air-cooling” system, because it will draw naturally cooled air from Klingle Valley, and by circulating it through The Kennedy- Warren reduce the temperature of the atmos- phere in that bulldln( We invite your immediate iupacfion of The Kennedy-Warren.
