RESCUERS SEARCH TEUSFLODZONE Crop Damage Mounts as Death List Remains at 26 Known Victims. By the Associated Press. VICTORIA, Tex., July 4.—Rescue parties hurried through the Guada- lupe flood area today, clearing ma- rooned refugees in a desperate race against the rain-glutted river, relling its menacing load toward the gulf. The death list stood at 26 as high | water spread for miles over the low- lying coastal plain, piling up inesti- mable crop damage. The flood crest, definitely past important farming towns, moved onward to San Antonio Bay. ‘The river was falling rapidly up- stream at Gonzales and Cuero, and the stage was diminishing more grad- ually at Victoria, where it reached a peak of 31.3 feet yesterday. 30,000 Farm Acres Ruined. Gonzales reported 30,000 acres of cotton and corn ruined and County commissioners said it would be nec- essary to rebuild more than 1,000 miles of roadways. To the south, Dewitt and Victoria Counties found crop, highway and railroad damage mounting into mil- lions of dollars—just how much, it was impossible to estimate. The little village of Leesville, hard- est hit of all by the high water, was being rehabilitated with the aid of 100 W. P. A. workers, the Red Cross and other relief agencies. The com- munity of 250 inhabitants was cut off for two days from outside com- munication before its plight became known. Blocked From Rail Service. Victoria was blocked from railroad service today and only two highways —leading to Port Lavaca and Hous- ton—were open. Highway traffic was closed between Port Lavaca and the Rio Grande Valley. Scattered showers still were soak- ing the watershed of streams feeding the turbulent Guadalupe. ‘Warnings were scattered by plane, telephone, boat and messenger to evacuate the ceastal plains below Victoria. It was estimated that $100,000 damage had been done to homes there, and the crop loss would amount to another $1,000,000. The Red Cross unit here was feeding and sheltering more than 500 refugees. SCIENTISTS STUDY NEW TYPE OF GAS Astronomical Expedition Confirms Discovery of Substance Near Sun. Ey the Assoclated Press. PITTSBURGH, July 4.—Scientists say it is possible & new type of gas may be discovered from a study of the infra-red spectrum of the corona. Dr. Keivin Burns and Dr. Heber D. Curtis of the Allegheny Observatory made in 1925 what many believed were the first pictures in the hitsory of astronomy of the “strong lines” of the corona, and measured the wave lengths of the gas surrounding the sun. The British Royal Astronomical Ex- | pedition reported at Moscow today a preliminary study confirmed existence of the strong lines. Dr. Burns said: “It is gratifying. It is now my hope that when the British astronomers i make their measurement of their plates, they will be able to prove all of our contentions conclusively.” The corona is described as sn ir- regular gaseous envelope which sur- rounds the sun. It can be seen and studied or;v during the total eclipse. The PittsLurgh scientists made their pictures at Yale Observatory. They used & camera equipped with prisms subsequently allowing for a spectroscopic picture. Through sclentific measurements, the scientists photograph gases through prisms in the camera and are able to identify the gas in question. Dr. Burns said further work may be necessary to determine the nature of the gaseous substances around the sun. It is contended that when the sci- entists are able to translate the wave lengths into the known elements that make up the gas, a new gas may be discovered. The theory is that it then would be possible for chemists to mix a similar gas on the earth. 00F LEAK NA. 4370 GICHNER : COME 3 IN THIS fine pictures of you taken by s .50 our expert photographer . . .

P Owl Attacks Policeman. While on patrol duty in Hornsey Lane, in London, Policeman P. C. Trickett was attacked by a large owl, which suddenly swooped from a tree and flew round his head.
