WEEKLY SUMMARY OF
WORLD'S NEWS.
New Orleans, May 1.—The raging
Mississippi, reinforced by the flood
waters of the Arkansas and Red
Rivers, is to-night threatening the
inundation of more than 3,000,000
acres of laqd in the Paiishes of Con
cordia, Tensas, Catahoula, Avoyelles,
Rapides and La Salle, in which par
ishes, among the most fertile in the
Mississippi Valley, thousands of
people are now fleeing to safety from
the onrusnirg flood of wate? of the
great river.
1 be liens from the new flood zone
i? of the g: avest nature,, and so vast
is the cvtrflow that it appears cer
tain that all of Concordia and Avoy
elles Parishes will be submerged.
Most; if not all, of Catahoula will
also go under, and so will practically
all of the southern part of the Par
ish of La Salle and eastern Rapides.
This is the first break of major pro
portions in the Louisiana levee system
north of New Orleans, and, say the
engineers, there is apparently no hu
man possible way to stem the racing
waters, which, along" most of the
doomed' sections', are bucking at the
levees at heights of from eight to a
dozen feet above the land level behind
the embankments.
The roar of the flood as it crashes
through four crevasses south of Vi
dalia and north of Angola can be
heard for miles, and the exodus of the
people, taking with them such of their
belongings as they can carry, and
where possible driving their farm ani
mals before them, is pictured as be
yond the power of the imagination to
exaggerate.

Shallow Ford, near Stratford, the
home 250 years ago of Izaak Walton,
authoi* and fisherman, whose fame
has come down over the years as the
author of “The Compleat Angler,”
was destroyed by fire this afternoon.
A flying spark settling on the thatch
ed roof of the old structure started a
blaze, which spread rapidly.
The cottage was restored and con
verted into a museum three years ago.
All objects of historic interest were
safely removed, but the building, in
cluding the old fireplace, which exist
ed unchanged since Walton’s day, was
completely wrecked.

Autoists Punished at Home
for Offences While Touring
Toronto.—Motorists of Ontario
touring in other provinces and in the
United States, and visitors touring in
Ontario will henceforth feel the “long
arm of the law” extended to their own
home town when they commit offences
while on their trips, according to a
statement by Hon. George S. Henry,
Minister of Public Works and High
ways.
* “At the ..quarterly meeting of the
Eastern Conference of Motor Vehicle
Administrators, comprising fifteen
states and provinces, just concluded
in Philadelphia,” he stated, “Ontario
entered into an arrangement where
by member states agree to suspend
or revoke the license of za resident
who committed an offence in another
state or province which, if committed
at home, would result in suspension
or revocation of license.
“American tourists convicted in
Ontario for any offence against our
law will now be reported to their home
state motor vehicle department and
the same will apply to Ontario motor
ists^ in the United States.
“This arrangement should act «s a
deterrent to motorists who are in
clined to take liberties with the rules
of the road when they'are away from
their own particular jurisdiction and
will, I think, be productive of good
results.”
Cheque in Mails When
Mother Murdered 4 Children
Windsor.—The day that Mrs. Hum-
ma Thomas was planning the murder
of her four children, -because she be
lieved there was nothing left in the
world for herself and the children, a
cheque for .$45 from the Mothers’ Al
lowance Commission was in the mail
at Toronto—-first grant of a regular
income which the mother would have
received had she stayed her hand a
day longer.
Mrs. Thomas’s application for assis
tance, as contained in the files of the
Mothers* Allowances Commission at
Sandwich, adds one touch more of
pathos to the tragedy by revealing
that the tenth birthday of her oldest
girl was only three days past at the
time of the tragedy. Mrs. Thomas
continues to improve in the Hotel
Lieu from the injuries she inflicted in
an. attempt to take her own life.

the finer Chrysler
“70” is pre-eminently the
70-mile-plus quality car of
its class-vogue-established
and value-established as
unique, alone and literally
above all competition.
In planning the original
“70” three years ago,
Walter P. Chrysler and
his engineers conceived
a smart, swift, fashion
able car which has been
accepted by thousands
upon thousands of en
thusiastic owners as a re
freshing departure from
previous conventional
design and performance.
Ever since this, Mr. Chry
sler and his associates have
enhanced the magnetic
appeal of the finer “70”
to discriminating men and
women with the result
that today it is as new and
as far beyond the ordinary
as it was at its introduction.
