Flood stage there is 12 feet, according to the United States Weather Bureau. Five Feet in Afternoon The water started to rise Wednesday night. It stood at five feet during the afternoon. Opening of the Noblesville flood gate caused the rapid rise, officials said. M. B. Orr, city engineering department, said the crest was reached between 1 and 2 a. m. and the unofficially prop of- two inches was noticed. The big break in the levee was at the storm sewer gate, a block and a half north of the Spring Mill Rd.Kesslcr Blvd. bridge. The levee gavo away on both sides of the gate, mak-' ing a three foot opening on each side. Near Illinois St. Water tore out fifty feet of the levee in the property of Dr. W. H. Wheeeler, north of the canal and was within a foot of Illinois St. The water did not reach the height it did in March. The crest was 19.1, March 22. If the water were to go over Illinois St. it woyld flood Warfleigh, hut officials believed there was no such danger. When the levee broke north of Illinois St. and Kessler Blvd. intersection Thursday night. National Guardsmen, police, firemen and city employes were mustered to sandbag the seaps in the levee and warn residents. Two Feet Deep Water was about two feet deep in places along River View Dr. between College Ave. and the Kessler Blvd. bridge, a distance of about ten blocks. Contractors were busy along Central Ave. and Broadway between the canal and White River, where some curbing had been washed out in streets under construction. Several thousand sand bags were placed aliyrtr the levee. Police Major Lewis Johnson and Fire Chief Jesse A. Hutsell directed activities during the early morning. About 100 park board employes took charge later under direction of City Einginees Frank C. Lingenfelter. There was no property damage along Warfleigh; Ray Goodpasture. Ravenswood grocer, said the water in White River reached its high point in the night. No damage was done and the water was receding rapidly today, lacking eight of reaching overflow level, Goodpasture said. Placed Sandbags Orr. Flood Engineer Harvey Cassidy, Recreation Director Joseph P. McClure and City Garage Superintendent William Hamilton ordered forces to the levee Thursday night and placed the sandbags, obtained from the Max-Katz Company. While firemen lighted the area, the workmen filled the bags and carried them, one one, 1,200 feet along

Two Mute Victims of Wild Wind’s Fury

The second story of this home at 55 N. Jefferson Ave. was badly dam aged. The huge tree near the porch was torn up and the roots broken off close to the ground.

the narrow levee ridge. If any one had slipped he would have gone into the water on either side. Few Small Leaks Hundreds of sand bags placed during the March high waters continued to hold, with the exception of a few small leaks. Police Major Lewis Johnson, Fire Chief Jesse A. Hutsell and City Engineer Frank C. Lingenfelter directed the relief. National Guardsmen aided police and firemen in patrolling the river Thursday night and warning residents. lW) Remain on Duty About 100 park employes remained on duty this morning at the flood area. A small area near the intersection of Eagle Creek and White River was flooded. Troy Ave. and Raymond St. were barricaded at Harding St. About 300 houses which always aro endangered during high water were not regarded in a perilous location at present. Rescue*) by Canolest Charles Maddux, 18, of 5317 Law-t-ence St. worked all night with his canoe rescuing marooned families. Maddux was afraid to go near the river because of the swift current, y Denso fog handicapped residents in their hazardous escape from the approaching water. G. M. Dorman, 810 W. Fifty-Fourth St., said water seeped through the floor of his auto, but the motor miraculously continued running. * Dorman said three young women, living in a summer cottage in Rocky Ripple, were strangled when they fried to follow him in a larger ear. They abandoned the car and waded out in water waist deep. Mrs. Catherine O’Connor, 5317 Byram Ave., was rescued shortly before midnight by Maddux, Use Canoe Otis Thatcher and son, Harry, 5210 Patterson St., canoed from their homo when\water within five inches of the floor. They estimated the water a foot deep in the house. Thatcher who had lived there sev eral years said never before had water risen so rapidly. Most families piled expensive furniture on chairs and tables in hopes of saving it. This action was believed to have saved thousands of dollars of property. When the water broke through the levee In the Wheeler property it was within a foot of the canal, which is always kept near the hank level. Had the water reached the canal it would have overflowed and flooded hundreds of homes lying south. WABASH HAS RISE ♦ • Stream Expected to Pass Flood Stage Sunday.

REDCROSSfURNS TO AID PROBLEM (Continued From Page 1) Negley, Chamber of Commerce President Dick Miller and various pthcr organization heads will be invited to the meeting Saturday, Arranges for Moving Arrangements have been made with several transfer companies to move persons drtto new homes, Fortune announced. All expenses of moving will be met by the organization for pdfisons who can not afford the cost. Offers of aid have been received from Noblesville, Evansville and national headquarters at Washington, D. C. The local group returned thanks for the offered assistance and sent word it was not needed. From the relief station at 2323 E. Washington St., came the story of hundreds, bravely fighting to regain their former plane in a community handicapped by wreckage and grief on all sides. Many Offer Aid “There were more offers from persons whose property was not damaged by the storm, who wanted to supply food and housing for the stricken, then there were appeals for aid," Foster declared. “Moat appeals we have had so far, are those who want to he removed from their present quarters into new residences,” Foster said. “We have procured services of several transfer companies and are obtaining more. Take Up Other Homes “Many of the persons affected arc renters. These people are rapidly moving their belongings into other homes in the neighborhood. “The Y>eople are very resourceful and have taken care of their own wants as far as food is concerned. Most of them had some ready money and hut few appeals have come to us for monetary, relief.” Foster praised the work of the police and other aiding forces. City council will meet tonight to consider means of aiding the storm victims, according to Council President Claude E. Negley. Council May Act Although the council is prohibited by law from donating to charity the council members thought they could do something if conditions warrant action. Mayor Duvall, Who conferred with councilmon. Investigated conditions today and will make some recom-

mendation to the council tonight. Duvall is cooperating with the Red Cross. The sponsoring of some benefit to raise money will bo considered, Negley said. About 400 city officials and workmen and city equipment Was drafted by Duvall to remove debris from streets and aid with rehabilitation activitites. Many city officials left their work to nssist in directing flood and storm relief. Turn Hall Over Tomlinson Hall has been turned over to the tornado s homeless. One hundred and fifty cots will he ready to/bare for the victims tonight, and will be furnished to those sent the hall by relief workers. Fifty cots were installed Thursday night, but only eight persons were sent to those in charge. These cots were furnished by local furniture stores and the Red Cross. The Red Cross has ordered 100 more installed tonight. The stage will bo curtained off and as many cots placed on the platform as possible for a women’s ward. The Salvation Army has furnished linen and blankets for the cots. Order Provisions Market Master Earl Garrett has ordered provisions for food and coffee for the refugees.

The entire day shift of the police department and twenty-five traffic officers are doing guard and relief duty in the storm area. They aro working twelve-hour shifts, from 7 a. m. to 7 p. m.

LINDBERGH OFF ON PARIS FLIGHT (Continue! From Page 1) crawled out of bed after two hours’ sleep and started fuelling his plane. Ships at sea, the Weather Bureau and the wireless station at LowisbUrg:, Nova Scotia, reported that weatdier conditions were excellent. Lindbergh the Lucky, who has escaped death in four airplane crashes, went nonchalantly about the business of defying the jinx which has greeted attempts to fly between "New York and Paris. Four men have been killed and two are missing as a result of attempts to make flights for tests of planes for just such flights as Lindbergh planned. Lindbergh wasn't worried. One I .one Sandwich He had had nothing but a ham sandwich to eat since 8 p. m. last night. The sandwich was his brea‘kfast. He will eat nothing but concentrated food tablets until he ends his adventure. It was 7:40 a. m. when the propeller was started for the final test of the engine. The motor warmed up beautifully, shooting flames from its cylinders around the aluminum colored nose of the craft. At A. m. the plane started down the runway and a tremendous roar went up from the crowd. Lindbergh, the happy boy from the West, was not smiling when those by the runway got their last glimpse of his face. The features were set in n grim line. He knew what he faced. He was doomed to between thirty and thirty-flvo hours in the pilot’s seat if he completed his tight—and if he failed there was only a meagre chance of rescue. Wears Air Mask He wore a leather helmet, an air mask, and his regular flying clothes. A few minutes before he started he said to a friend: "Don’t worry. I'm confident I'll be in Paris tomorrow, safe and sound." There was no wind to hamper his start. / Lindbergh, foolhardy as always, took off from the west end of the runway. Had his plane—loaded more heavily than ever before—failed to rise, he would have crashed into a "row of buildings. Had he taken off from the East, he would have had open Held. The plane, however, took off without accident and Its silver body flashed as It nosed Into air. The crowd roared as the monoplane climbed into the blue and vanished. Lindbergh was on the way| |

PENSIONS GIVEN a AT AGE OF 52 Russia Taxes All for Industrial Insurance. Bu I nitrd Prcii MOSCOW, May 20.—At the age of 52 a person’s useful life Is officially finished in the Soviet Union. So says the state insurance and social pension statute, which makes workers eligible for a state pension when they have passed their fifty-second birthday, if they have already completed at least seven years of work. The pension applies to workers of every kind. Every employer, whether a housewife hiring a servant or the state employing thousands of office workers and factory hands, must pay a monthly social insurance premium ranging upward from sixteen per cent of the salary each month. The so-called old age pension becoming effective at the ago of fifty-two applies to everybody who earns a wage. The pension is calculated on the salary earned in tho last year.

HAVANA MEETING PLACE OF BRIDES Immigrant Girls Figure in Romances. Bu U niledj’rrsi HAVANA. Cuba, May 20.—Havana is fast becoming the meeting place between immigrant brides from Europe and naturalized American citizens. At present there are ten giris, mostly from Greece and Armenia, living at the Havana Y. M. C#A. awaiting arrival of their future husbands from the United States. As Cuban immigration laws prevent unaccompanied women from landing on the island unless vouched for by some responsible person, tho Y. M. C. A. has accepted the responsibility. Banns must bo published fifteen days before tho marriage ceremony, which permits the young roan to complete his courtship first-hand. Double and triple weddings are tho general rule, although recently at tenfold wedding was celebrated.

STORM SALVAGE TASK UNDER WAV (Continued From Page 1) for work playing about what had been his home. All of these had toys. In their work of rehabilitation the residents are not forgetting to provide happiness for the kids. Neighbor .Samaritans Tlib.homes which still liave roofs over them are tho central points of each neighborhood. The owners of such places liave literally thrown their doors open to neighbors, that the less fortunate ones may have some dry place to store what they salvage. Ft. Benjamin Harrison soldiers and National Guardsmen stationed in the district to see that order Is kept, lend a helping hand whenever possible#* Some woman, in her work, may come to a particularly heavy piece of timber. One of tho hoys'ln khaki is there to help her lift it. Police go about the district, keeping sight-seers moving along, that they may not hinder those trying to clear away the wreckage. The streets throughout the district are practically cleared of wreckage and are traversable though no automobile is allowed on them unless the driver shows a pass. Electrical, water and gas worker* busy themselves by rctoring utility services. Somo work in the air, some dig in the ground, others pry about in the debris—and they work with smiles, catching the spirit from the residents. At B. Washington St. and Key* stone Ave., the Red Cross has a station. Back of a store on this corner, a 66-year-old woman, Mrs. Emily C. Roberts, stood surveying the scene. “Pretty had Isn’t It," she said with a smile, “but we’ll come out of it all right.” In homes where there are still spots which have roofs over them, the occupants moved their belongings into the sheltered spots. Bird Nest Saved Throughout tho district, bedding and clothing lay piled on roofs aud in windows, exposed to tho sun that it may dry. Workmen clearing away wreckage of two home* near 55 Jefferson Ave., had exposed two* automobiles Jammed between (he houses. Both were practically demolished. Another car, X 9. 95-096, stood on its Radiator, stripped of everything save the chassis. Tho lone bird's nest, high on the corner of what was once a building, but la only one wall now, had an occupant todny. A sparrow sat atop it, quietly surveying the scene around him.
