3 THURSDAY. JANUARY 21, 1937 THE CAPITAL JOURNAL. SALEM, OREGON HEAVY RAINS SEND RIVERS ON RAMPAGE (Continued from pnve 1 Ohio, Maryland. Kentucky. Indi ana. Illinois, Tennessee. Missouri and Arkansas. Yellow waters crept up city street and flooded base ments in scores of communities. Riding high on an accumulation of heavy rains, the Ohio river des cended on Portsmouth, Ohio, and caused City Manager Prank Shee nan to warn all residents, except those in hilltop districts, to prepare to leave homes and business houses. The city has a population of more than 40.000. The river rose two-tenths of a foot an hour at Cincinnati toward a crest the weather bureau said might equal that of the 1913 Inun dation, which cost southwestern Ohio millions of dollars. The village of New Richmond, 30 miles east of Cincinnati, sent a call for aid, and boat crews were dis patched to evacuate families sur rounded by water. Fifteen hun dred families already had left their homes in northern Kentucky cities. Indicative of the sweep of the flood was a report that 1,500 of the 2,000 hou&es in New Richmond were flooded. Water was five feet deep in the streets. Almost the entire ppoulation of Aurora, Ind, worked to remove stocks from stores. Fire sirens brought them from their beds at midnight. Bursting through a levee. White river waters took over the village of Hazleton, Ind. Its 500 residents stood on hills and surveyed the wreckage. Flood waters swept over the Ken tucky lowlands, in some places reaching, the 1933 mark, driving hundreds from their homes and de railing a Louisville and Nashville train at Slaughters. The National guard was mustered In Frankfort to assist evacuation of areas flooded by the Kentucky river. Rising levels of the Mississippi and its tributaries forced lowland dwellers to flee in west Tennessee and northeastern Arkansas. Tents, box cars and public buildings housed the homeless. Winter rain and mountain snow sent the rivers in western Pennsyl vania toward flood stage today. The south branch of the Potomac river washed out a temporary bridge near Springfield. W. Va. The Red Cross reported 2.000 ref ugees in the flood area of Kennett. Mo. Rescuers searched for many families believed marooned by the St. Francis river flood waters. Seventy-five families were rescued by motorboat crews yesterday. High waters made 250 persons homeless at Dexter, Mo., and 200 at Corning, Ark. The Cumberland river, far above flood stage, threatened water-front buildings at Nashville, Tenn and routed many householders. Backwa ter from the Mississippi, inundated western Tennessee lowlands. Illi nois and North Carolina were other states plagued with flood waters. Authorities moved to prevent loot ing of abandoned property in the flood areas. STATE TO REPAIR ROAD CROSSINGS The state highway commission has advised the county court it will re pair and make passable all county road intersections along the new alignment of the Paclfc highway south of the city and get to work Immediately, Commissioner Melson advised the county court this morn ing. Numerous complaints have come from citizens in that area dur ing the past few days since the thaw has softened up roadways that cars are being stuck at the intersections and traffic very materially retarded by conditions existing. The new grade for the highway crosses quite a string of county road Intersections In the hills south of town In the fiunnyslde dlstrclt and on each side of It and quite a portion of the new roadway is made up of fills which are new and not yet settled. OUST THAT LID) -Roots and Alt-Give It No Chance to Sprout Anew! Tike no cold lightly! The so called "common cold" i$ often the tart of more serious trouble flu and pneumonia, for example. Treat a cold to rout it, not mere ly to subdue it! Depend on no half-way meas ures. A cold, being an Internal infection, must be got at from the inside. Treat a cold with a cold prepara tion, not with a medicine good for all kinds of ailments. The wise treatment is Grove's Laxative Bromo Quinine. Expressly For Colds! Bromo Quinine is a cold tablet, made eipreaajy for the treatment of colds. Tt is also Internal treatment and of four important effects. First, Bromo Quinine opens the bowels, a desirable step in the treatment of colds. , Second. It checks the Infection in the system, a vital step.

Today he feels swell. wmie House report saia ine cnieiv executive is his usual hearty,, heal thy self, despite his ride in a top less touring car, which turned into a perambulating bath tub before he had gone two blocks. The president and Mrs. Roosevelt sloshed in the back seat of this au tomobile, smiling at the cheering thousands, as though the heaviest rain of the winter weren't soaking them to the skin. Water on the the tonneau floor must have been half an inch deep. Mr. Roosevelt didnt even keep on his silk topper. He waved it to the multitudes, while rain dropped down his chin. And talking about hats, the first lady suffered a real tragedy. When she started from the White Houie for the inaugural ceremonies, she GERMAN BAPTISTS TO BURN MORTGAGE At the closing service of the evan gelistic meetings, Friday evening at 7:45, the German Baptist church, corner North Cottage and D streets, will burn a $7,000 mortgage. The last payment of 700 was made last week. It Is an occasion of rejoicing for the members of the church that now the beautiful edifice is free from any debt. Tlie church was built In 1926 during the pastorate of the Rev. O. W. Rutsch. The chairman of the board of trustees Henry Willecke, will 1UM the "bonfire." The Rev. O. Schunke, who was chairman of the building committee, will offer the prayer of thanks. The Rev. J. F:. Olthoff, pas tor of the church, will have charge of the celebration and give a brief address. After the ceremony the two-weeks evangelistic campaign will come to a close with a message by the Rev. O. A. Leng, of Tamoca, Wash.

It was one of those smart, Parisian models which dipped over her right eye, and which was made of some soft, fuzzy stuff, which makes It look almost like bird feathers. It was an elegant hat. When she returned to the White House two hours later, her hat was a wreck. It had lost Its lines and Its feathery look. It was soggy, it was wet, and it looked like nothing so mucn as a rubber bathing cap. The big trouble with the inaug uration was that everything leaked, including the paper cups in which messenger boys rushed cold coffee. The roofs In the $10 per seat re viewing stands dripped water and sawdust. The shelter at the capitol, underneath the president's diss. sprayed like a shower-bath spray through the cracks between the planks. The president's grandstand, the $11,000 replica of Andrew Jackson's Hermitage, had a solid roof, but se cret service agents stamped through it so frequently, looking suspiciously at everybody, that a cold wind nul lifted the good work of the electric radiators. The house didn't do Mr. Roosevelt a bit of good. The inaugural com- mlttee built an enclosed booth on the front porch for his use in re- viewing the parade. It was a nice booth, too. heated and protected on all sides with half-inch thick sheets of bullet-proof glass. The president took a quick look at It and ordered the windows re moved. There was so much rain on 'em, that he couldn't see the pa rade! Out went the windows, Mr. Roose velt got a good view of the march ers, and vice-versa. The rain and the wind also got a good whack at the president, soaking him as thor oughly almost as If he'd fallen Into a lake. The president watched the parade for two solid hours, acknow ledged every salute, and smiled at every last cheer. But when the final soldier had marched by, Mr. Roosevelt became visibly happier. So did I. I didn't know what was in the president's mind, but I was thinking about that hot bath and those dry socks. I nev er knew before how thrilling the thought of warm, wool socks could be. DR.

Is an Inspired motion picture according to Manager Carl Porter who has Just booked this magnificent pro duction for a "road show" attrac tion at the Elslnore for one day only, Thursday, February 11. For those who have read Shake speare casually It will be a revela tion. For the romance of Juliet and her Romeo is as modern as the love story of any boy or girl of to day. Norma Shearer and Leslie Howard make the lovers of Ver ona real and human and under standable as they defy family hatred for a love that admits no barriers. But "Romeo and Juliet" Is more than a great love story. It is a thrilling romance, true, but it is also a moving, action-filled spec tacle. Filmed against the colorful and fascinating background of 15th century Italy. It is packed with comedy and tense, dramatic situa tions. The duel fought between John Barry more, who returned to the screen to play the bawdy, lusty Mercutlo, and Basil Rathbone as Tybalt, and that which follows be tween Howard and Rathbone. arc certainly the most exciting ever screened. Fought with rapier and dagger they are tremendously re alistic. Special mention must be made of Edna May Olivers characterization of the nurse, which she plays to the hilt for all of its uproarious com edy. Others In the outstanding cast whose work bears mention are C. Aubrey Smith, Andy Devine, Ralph Forbes, Reginald Denny, Maurice Murphy, Conway Tearle, Henry Kolker.

"Economic strife, resulting from inordinate or discriminatory trade barriers." the president said, "is one of the most fruitful sources of political animosity and military con flict.
