HOPE OF.RELIEF
CHICAGO, Aug. 9. (UP) — With almost 10,000,(100 American farmers already doomed to the ratastrophe of a century, a molten sun rocketed temperatures to new heights today over two-thirds of the nation. Only scattered showers early today and a weather bureau prediction that a blanket of cool air may spread southward from Canada brought hope to sweltering millions. Rains during the night in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa brought only a few hours of comparative comfort. Death followed the sun across the stricken territory. A toll of more than 1,000 human livc-t taken by the months of almost uninterrupted heat, grew with every hour? Hospitals in Chicago, St. Louis, Wichita, Kansas < y and dozens of other metropolitan areas were filled with prostrated suffe rers. Unofficially it was estimated that more than 350 persons dioi of heat induced heart failure in "4 hours. The hard-baked earth, radiating stored up heat in shimmering waves,
