Tliousands of flood refugees have been brought to Vickburg.'Miss., which, because it lies
far above the normal stage of the Mississippi and also because it has a stout sea wall, has
proved to be an excellent concentration for Red Cross activities. Here are some exclusive
photos of Vicksburg scenes: (1) Towboat, "Sprague," reputed to be the most powerful tow
boat in the world and which has handled nearly 70 river barges in one tow, is shown here
with oil tank barges, which were pressed intv service: to carry thousands of persons to
safety. The "Sprague" made her record towing coal barges from the Ohio river, but and
.this is an interesting sidelight of the changa in river traffic- she now handles oil from
out of southern fields. Photo 2 shows an oil woman being helped down a gangplank; (3)

PORTLAND WINS
SWIMMING MEET
LINCOLN CITY, Ind May 7.
(AP Mother's Day, officially set
for tomorrow, was commemorated
here today to one of the nation's
greatest ; mothers Nancy Hanks
Lincoln.
Gathered at the grave of the
ni other of the emancipator today
the ; executive committee of the
Indiana Lincoln Union pledged it
self, to the "task or building a
national shrine in honor of the
mother who against all the hind
rances of a rude, ; pioneer life,
molded the character of Abraham
Lincoln'. f
An aviator, zooming low over
the grave and cabin site dropped
this message: , - j
; 'To Nancy Hanks Lincoln:
- - "The men and women- of today
are here beside your'grave. Among
the guarding trees, to make their
vow, your name shall never die."
And to their praise, we add our
tribute, from the sky. j - . "
"We are the . artificers of the
past, whose handicraft has gained
the praise of ' men.- i With stone
and clay, with brush and pen; we
wrought, to leave expressions of
the truth we found. But you
you dared to take a living child,
a plastic infant mind, to mold Into
a soul of love, an- instrument di
vine. Your genius used an art
that ours was mean ; beside. To
you then, master artist, .we send
our word of praise.? Through de
vious paths that masked the way,
yon led with kindly hand, a child
into the light-of troth, and made
an honest, man.' - .
Addressing the spirit of Nancy
Hanks Lincoln, in the name of the
mothers of Indiana. Mrs. Anne
Studebaker Carlisle of South Bend,
president of the union, laid "a
wreath upon the. grave.
"Hero at your" altar - on this
peaceful knoll, mother of Lincoln,
we pause today to meditate upon
the thought that from this humble
environment your influence,
through; your .immortal son. has.
radiated; around' the ' world a
challenge to motherhood," said
Mrs. Carlisle. . j. -v
Portland won the district swim

NEW ORLEANS, May: 7.
AP) Driven riotously before
tbe flood crest, the waters of the
Mississippi had reached new-high
levels tonight over a long stretch
north of New Orleans from Donld
sonville to Angola.
Record stages also were report
ed at places along the Old river,
which empties into the Mississipi
north of Baton Rouge, and which
is receiving flood waters from the
Red. Ouachta. Texas and Black
rivers as well as from the great
crevasse and back water lake
spreading in northeastern Louis
iana. ( .
In announcing this situation on
the two rivers,' the weather bur
eau reiterates its warning that
every precaution should be taken
to guard against the stages above
New Orleans with the approach of
the crest, which ' now is south of
Vicksburg, approximately half
way between Memphis and New
Orleans.
After an inspection of the lev
ees along the present greatest
danger point- the eighty mile
front on the Old river and Bayou
Des Glaises to the south Gover
nor Simpso-- declared at Baton,
Rouge th tL in his opinion these
embankments were strong enough
to hold the anticipated highest
flood stage and thus save central
Louisiana.
Major W. H. Holcombe, chief
army engineer for trie Fourth dis
trict, who is traveling down the
river with Secretary Hoover and
hds party, stated at Natchez that
the west bank defenses on the
lower Mississippi which are yet to
bear increased burdens from the
flood were being well maintained.
He added that the east bank de
fenses were not so satisfactory at
some places.
Conditions here at New Orleans
were considered satisfactory, the
river having fallen one-tenth of a
foot during the past twenty-four
hours as a result of the increasing
torrent flowing through the arti
ficial crevasse - made at Caenar
von. 15 miles to the south.
A somewhat improved situation
in northeastern Louisiana just be
low the Arkansas line was report
ed, the backwaters apparently
having reached their ,crest at Mer
Rouge, Bonita and Oak Grove.
