watch for weak spols or
breaks in tlio levees. Warned of
Impending dnnger, new hordes of
refugees streamed from I he low-ly-lug
marginal lands along the Mls-
elsslppl.
Tent Cities Arise
Tent cities sprang up on high
lands nnd ridges 30 miles from the
river to house temporary "orphans
of the flood." At Harlon, near
Helena, n single concentration
' camp received 15,000 refugees. Ten
nildltlunal centers were spotted,
Thousnnds of others were remov-
ed to east Arkansas cities nnd lo
Memphis.
' And last, night, in the darknesH,
nround the red-ritttntng camprirns,
voices lifted In prayerful, hysteria
touched song:
"Itlver, stay nwoy from my
door.'
Every leveo throughout ihe Mis
sissippi system was holding today
and u. H. army engineers pre
dicted they would continue to hold,
hnrring the unexpected.
In Utile Hock, Ark., flov. Carl
' K. Bailey declined eastern offers
of help, declaring Arkansas wants
to fights Us own flood buttle-
wllh aid only from the II, S. army
nnd lied Cross, "until we nre com
pletely licked."
Health Perils Increase
Memphis, safelv perched on Ihe
Chickasaw bluffs hummed wllh
war-like activity today as more
thousands of refugees streamed
Into the city.
Health hazards mounted. One
out or every ten refugees suffered
from sickness and Influenza nnd
pneumonia.
Weary physicians redoubled
their offorts, needling typhoid and
other vaccines Into thousnnds who
volunteered for treatment In the
fight against plague.
Flvo mothers and Ihirtv-uine
babies were harbored In tho juveti-
tie court building. Ten expectant
mothers waited for- their "flood
bnbles" In another make-shirt bos-
pltal.

foot seawall to nnvo Cairo, soul It
em Illinois shipping center, from

wall. Lost night Ihey dynamited
nnotlter hole to relievo (be pres

Thousands of refugees who lived
In Ihe Inundated area camped

H. army chief at staff, said ouall-
fledly ho expected Mississippi
dikes would bold. He based bis
belief on the exportation the levees

Above Cairo the only possible
thrent to gradual return lo norm
