FLOODS PERIL VAST DISTRICT Thousands Fight to Halt Levee Breaks. By United Pre*s ST. LOUIS, May 21.—Menaced by their worst enemy, residents of the Mississippi valley fought, today to prevent flood waters from a dozen streams from inundating rich farm lands. The Missouri, Mississippi, St. Francis and other rivers in the Mis-souri-Mississippi valley section have sent their muddy waters coursing over thousands of acres of land. Residents are fighting desperately to strengthen levees, to prevent further breaks such as occurred yesterday near Itley, Mo., in the Delta section. The break came in the St. Francis river, at a supposedly safe point. Nearly 50,000 acres of cotton and corn land was inundated. Sandbags were rushed to dozens of danger points along streams throughout Missouri. Tennessee, southern Illinois and Arkansas.

HOUSE LONG LIVED l , One-Family Residence Will Outlast Skyscraper. The average one-family residence, | if built of any other construction i than frame, generally outlives the giant office buildings that tower ! above above it. a survey by the National Association of Real Estate Boards, made public today through the Indianapolis Real Estate board, disclosed. The dwelling’s longer “useful life expectancy” is due to the fact that obsolescence, due to changing use and development of more modern structures, is a more important factor in determining useful life than actual physical depreciation. Single family dwellings, other than frame, have a useful life expectancy of fifty years, the survey I showed. Frame dwellings average thirty-three and a half years. Office buildings of reinforced concrete or steel frame and fireproof construction average only forty years, generally. Because of changing tastes in public amusements and expensive alterations necessary to carry them over a long period theaters are rated the lowest of any type structure.

FLIGHT TO U. S. IS CANCELED BY GRAF ZEPPELIN No Long Trips to Be Made Till Airship Is in Perfect Order. BY MAURITZ HALLCREN tnitefl Press Staff Correspondent FRIEDRICHSHAFEN, Germany, May 21—All the technical resources at the command of the Zeppelin company and the Maybach Motor Works were being mobilized today to find the cause of the motor troubles which compelled the Graf Zeppelin to make a forced landing in France last week after abandoning its attempted flight to the United States. This action followed the announcement by Dr. Hugo Eckener, commander of the crippled dirigible, that no long trips, especially Atlantic crossings, would be undertaken by the Graf Zeppelin until a complete solution to the motor problem had been found. German efficiency wall set about the task of getting to the bottom of the perplexing technical mystery as soon as the dirigible is brought back to Friedrichshafen, probably Thursday or Friday. Safety Causes Order Dr. Eckener, in announcing that he intended no further distance flights for the present and that he had definitely decided to abandon his flight to the United States, said he had in mind the safety of the passengers and members of the large crew. “Only when we are entirely convinced that everything is in perfect order will we undertake further long-distance flights,” the commander said. “We will not gamble with the lives of passengers and crew.” Dr. Eckener will return to Toulon Wednesday, after conferring with Herr Maybach, head of the Maybach motor works. He added that he hoped to bring the Graf Zeppelin back to its home hangar here by Thursday evening, or possibly the following morning, on the two new motors which were sent to France several days ago to replace two of the broken ones. Scoats Sabotage Theory Once more Dr. Eckener emphasized that sabotage had nothing to do with the terrible mishap which almost brought the giant Graf Zeppelin to grief. Dr. Eckener reiterated his enthusiasm for the dirigible type of flying craft. He praised the airworthiness of the Zeppelins and pointed out that the difficulty he had in landing was due to nothing except the condition of the motors.

I Old Folks Say Doctor Caldwell was Right

The basis of treating sickness has not changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical College in 1875, nor since he placed on the market the laxative prescription he had used in his practice, known to druggists and the public since 1892, as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin. Then, the treatment of constipation, biliousness, headaches, mental depression, indigestion, sour stomach and other indispositions that result from constipation was entirely by means of simple vegetable laxatives, herbs and roots These are still the basis of Dr. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, which is a combination of senna and other mild laxative herbs, with pepsinThe simpler the remedy for constipation, the safer for the child and for you and the better for the general health of all. And as you can get results in a mild and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with strong drugs? A bottle of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup Pepsin will last a family several months, and all can use it. It is good for the baby because pleasant to the taste, gentle in action, and free from narcotics.
