Is
WEST PALM BEACH, Pla.,
Sept 10. (AP). A death toll of
between 700 and S00 .persons,
mostly in the Lake Okeechobee
Everglade region of Florida, was
estimated today by Red Cross of
ficials to have been taken by last
Sunday's disastrous tropical hur
ricane which, after sweepin over
the! West Indies, wreaked destruc
tion in the thickly-populated Palm
Beach county of that state.
The menace of disease arose as
hundreds of bodies laid unburied
whie relief workers worked day
and night to elleviate conditions.
Property damage estimate ranged
irotn 130,000,000 to S75.000.000
for the county, while it was te
ported not more than fire per cent
of the buildings in the section
came' through the hurricane with
out damage. .
Most of Dead Found
Chairman Howard W. Selby. of
the Palm Beach county Red Cross
committee, declared that virtually
all: the dead are in the Everglades
district around Pakokee, South
Bay and Canal Point. Previously
a death list of 400 had been est!
mated in the county.
Declaring that health conditions
are growing worse every minute,
Selby said it might be necessary
to i place the whole area of 100
square miles under quarantine,
A method of remedying condi
tions was proposed by the Red
Cross chairman "to spray the
whole section with lime from air
planes." Federal funds may be required,
hej declared, as the county has not
the money to carry on the rehab
ilitation work. "We need outside
financial help badly to the extent
of $500,000," he said.
1 ' Situation Desperate
f Unless bodies are recovered
and buried within the next 48
hoars, complete evacuation of that
territory will have to be effected,
including relief ' workers," Selby
said.

Methodist Pastors at
Annual Meeting
Younger Generation Today
no Worse Than in For
mer Years, He Says
" HOOD RIVER, Ore.. Sept. 20.
(AP) Ministers of the Methodist
Episcopal church were ; taken to
task today by Bishop Titus Lowe
of the Oregon conference for what
he termed their rallure to Interest
youth. His sermon was delivered
at today's session of the Oregon
Method Lst - Episcopal conference
here. - ; ' . .
Citing, that physical properties
for the accommodation, of bible
schools and other religious in
struetion have been greatly In
creased In the Oregon conference
in the past several years. Bishop
Lowe said he was sorely disap
pointed to find that the net en
rollment, and attendance of stud
ents had, shown a decrease.
The "popular alibi" ef the
clergymen, the bishop -said. Is
that they cannot cope with "flam
ing youth" and the jass age.
Modern Tonth Defended
"You have no grip on the young
people," Bishop Lowe declared.
"but as to that alibi about flam
ing youth, you may be .able to
make it pass with your bishop ahd
your cabinet, but cannot with
Christ."
The Bishop made it clear that
he believed youth of today Is no
worse than when the ministers
were growing up and attending
college and singing "Taking Nel
lie Home," or "Susanna." The
present group of youngsters is a
bit more courageous, perhaps.
Bishop Lowe said, but would be all
the better if properly guided.
"Find a new vocabulary if yon
must," Bishop Tflwe concluded.
or change your methods, but gain
a contact with the young people
and stop the leakage."

-They think of-
Salem's Black Snow
And what should be
Done about it.
XTISITORS to Salem, after
V voicing unstinted praise
of this city for its wide
streets, beautiful civic ce-nter,
trees, parks and other attrac
tions including the hundreds of
handsome residences, invariab
ly exclaim in surprise and as
tonishment at its notorious
"black snow" which falls, a
dingy blanket, upon every part
of the business ' and shopping
district and in some of the res- J
idential areas, smudging every
thing it touches. From time to
time there have been waves of
indignation directed against Sa
lem's "black snow," but these
apparently have ' spent their
force, without alleviating the
situation. The daily and night
ly showers of cinders continue
to fall,' to the despair of those
who wish to keep clean and the
everlasting joy and delight of
the laundrymen. WKh the idea
of obtaining a cross-section of
public opinion on ths ever-present
subject the New Oregon
Statesman asked several resi
dents of Salem their views
Thursday. Here is the way they
look at it:
ELL WOOD TOWNER, local
attorney, said: "It is putting it
very mildly to say that the cin
der nuisance here is thorough
ly offensive in every respect.
The cinders blow through
cracks and around corners, with
the result that in certain dis
tricts of the city nothing is free
from them. It is surprising
that a city of Salem's size
yand enterprise permits this con
dition to exist. Hardly anything
could be more effective in giv
ing the community a bad name.
FRANK LYNCH, member of
the staff of the Salem Abstract
company, said: "It gives both
the city and the Individual a
black eye." t
B. F. OTHUS, one of the pro
prietors of the Bligh billiard
parlor, said: "The so-called
waste that Is burned causing the
cinders which settle all over
the city, ought to bo converted
into fuel, as is done in other
places. It would be a source of
reveaue and at the same time
Salem would be made a much
more pleasant-place in which to
live."
MRS. JOHN ROBINS, prom
inent W. C. T. U. woman, said:
"Oh, the cinders! They're the
most terrible nuisance I ever
saw. It's .pretty hard to get a

BOSTON. Mass., Sept. 20.
(AP) New England republican
leaders, gathered here today for
a conference to outline the cam
paign in this section, heard R. Hu
bert Work, chairman of the repub
lican national committee, give a
most optimistic report of party
conditions throughout the nation.
He pictured the Hoover sentiment
as being carried forward by a
"ground swell" of tremendous
proportion.
"In my travels," said Dr. Work,
"I have been able to get a good
perspective Of the political situa
tion in the country. It Is not too
much to say that the officers of
the republican party have been
kept in closer touch with the cen
tral organisation than ever be
fore. The reports coming in are
most assuring."
Dr. Work spoke of the part
women are playing in the cam
paign as "a very substantial ele
ment." They are well organized.
alert and appreciative of the) re
sponsibility, he said. He reiterat
ed his opinion that a large share
"of the great majority" in Hoo
ver's favor at the election will be
due to the work of women.
Dr. Work was accompanied
here by Colonel John Q. Tilson,
head of the eastern speakers bu
reau of the national committee,
who said that his bureau is con
stantly receiving tenders of help
from speakers of national reputa
tion. The conference will close to
morrow and will be the last that
Dr. Work will attend in the east.
MIL SEE VICE
Salem will hare regular air
mail, service on the Pacific coast
routes as soon as the amount of
letters warrants a stopping point
here., believes S. S. Borgs of the
airways division , of the depart
ment of commerce. Mr. Boggo
was In Salem this week to Inspect
prospective sites for airports In
this . vicinity. Airway beacon
lights will be Installed on the
route between Portland and Rose
burg In the near future, he said..
A site several hundred yards
east - of the state' penitentiary
grounds was believed by Mr.
Boggs to be the most suitable near
this city. Until Salem fs made a
stopping point on the mail route,
this field will be an emergency
field equipped with a beacon and
other landing signals. These
fields are being built at Intervals
of 10 to 25 miles all alonr the
coast
The beacons are 2,000,000 can
dle power lamps with 'revolving
lenses that send out beams visible
for many miles. Small station
lighU beside the beacon will flash
code signals giving the designa
tion of the particular field on
which, they are located. By means
of these a pilot may determine his
exact position. '
