LORAIN HIT HARDEST
Thirty. five on Wrecked Launch Un

tories Miss Death.
Cleveland, O. Loss ot life In Sat
urduy's tornado which wrecked a large
portion of Lorain and parts of San
dusky and other Ohio cities was not
as great as first reports indicated, but
rechecking ot casualties showed that
more loan 100 persons lost their lives
in this storm and almost simultaneous
disturbances at I'tttsburg and in the
upper Mississippi' valley.
The greatest loss ot life jjns al
Lorain where the latest count showed
59 dead and 1 IS injured, a score ot
them suffering severe hurts. Th.
property loss "Ihere was upward ot
$30,000,000, 125 city blocks having
been demolished. At Sandusky It was
found that only six persons were kill
ed, although 100 were Injured and
property valued at $2,000,000 was da
stroyed.
There were seven fatalities in Cleve
land, although the property fiamagt
was small. Pittsburg reported 16 per
sons killed in western Pennsylvania,
while Nantua, O.. reported three dead
and Akron one. The death toll in
Iowa and Illinois was 12, mukliu; a
death list of 109. The total property
damage when reports from the rural
regions are complete, will probably
aggregate $50,000,000.
Despite the devastation at Lorain,
where the tornado tore down a quarter
of the city, organized rescue work
went forward smoothly and Btate
troops kept order among the inhabi
fonts, hundreds of whom were thrown
out ot their homes and hud to be shell
ered in tents and with friends.
The great loss of life at Lorain took
place in the State theater, a four
story building, which partly collapsed
and crushed many of the spectator
at a matinee movie show. As soon as1
rescue work was organized a survey ot
the situation led to the deduction thai
many scores had been killed, for build
ingB had been whipped down over the
heads of several fairly large assemb
lages. At a bathing beach house the
structure was torn to pieces and It ,.
announced that dozens had lost their
lives at this place.
Investigation Sunday when light per
mitted a search of the ruins' showed
that probably everyone at the beach
had escaped with his life. The fact
that the tornado struck both Sandusky
and I., rain w.hlle factories were
emptied on account ot Saturday after
noon holiday probably reduced the
death toll by hundreds, fur a number
of manufacturing plants were torn
down only a few hours after several
thousand employes had left tin Ir work.

By Margaret Morison
ADDIE ADAMS
a DDli: ADAMS was the first woman

haired Addle Adams. Kveryone knew
by reputation Miss Adam's mannish
cellars and ties, mid her mannish tail
ored coals, and her hatred for men,
Young Mrs. Frank Gaiety, however
probubly because opposltes attract
each other wus u staunch supporter
ot Miss Adam on all occasion. Oat
night Mrs Frank announced that Addle
was coming to dinner the next evening.
Her husband acquiesced with extra
graclousuess. Then he added :
"I'll get Tony Tompkins, too; I
think Tony'd be Just the man for
Addle
Mrs. Frank looked dubious. "You
know, deur," she said. "Addle doesn't
approve of men.''
"That's exactly what I hud In mind,"
answered her husband. "Tony's a
woman-hater !"
All assembled the following evening.
Addle glared across the table at Tony
and Ignored her host.
"How is Frank. Jr. V she asked Mrs,
Frank. "It's a pity he's a boy."
"I suppose it's more modern to find
one's daughters interesting," laughed
Mrs. Frank.
"You women who are chained to hus
bands must at least raise girls to
carry on the cause. Woman must cap
ture every Held P Addle opened th
mannish coat she wore even to th
table, and displayed a gleaming badge:
"I have been sworn In us a special
officer," she said. "I arrested two men
today."
Here Tony Interrupted, growing red
and puffy as If he were jjolng to have
a stroke. "Miss Adams, you must
never forget the biological fact that
the brain of a woman Is not so large as
that of a man."
Then they were off. Addle had prob
ably never In her life talked continu
ously for such a lengtli of time to a
man. For the remainder of the meal the
rest of the party just listened. And
after dinner when they were assembled
ince more In the drawing room. Addle

made their party Call on Mrs. Frank
together. In her youth Addle had been
sent to a girl's hoarding school in
winter and a girl's camp In summer
until she was old enough to enter the
woman's college from which she grad
uated in four years ready to attach her
self body and mind to the first cause
that presented. That cause wu
Woman. So fur her audience had
been strictly feminine. And now rame

HAVE YOU THIS IIAMTT

o
Ultimately, when 'lie horse, und bug
gy Idea gives place to Mie motor trans
portation plan nationally, automobiles
must be allowed to travel over long
stretches of right of way ut their mux
lmum apei-d. Wider roads entering
population centers, division of high
way into their logic freight, local
and express lines, und the unification
of transportation laws throughout the
United State will make nil lids pos
sible. So, nt least, say engineers of the
Middle West und the transport exiierts
now busily engaged In working out the
growing road problems of practically
every community of uny size in Illinois,
Indiana und Iowa, w rites J. L. Jenklus
In the Chicago Tribune.
All of them are looking eastward
thl spring toward Detroit, where
U'ayna county pavement pioneer are
pushing the construction of a 800fOOt
right of way from Detroit to I'oiitloc.
with Just this Idea of segregiitlng high
way traffic and putting automobile op
eration Into the scientific transporta
tion field where It belongs.
When completed this highway will
provide trncks In Its center for fust and
local railway. On the outside two
40foot pavements will carry the auto
mobile truffle. These one-way lines
will provide for slow-moving and local
enrs on the Inside lines and for fust,
through motors on the outside speed
way. Cross truffle will be prelected,
according to the first plnn. by elevat
ing the Intersections slid dividing the
grades. v7
Thus the cars used to trnniort pas
sengers or light freight for long dls
lances will be given a chance to oper
ate at minimum efficiency and mini
mum expense without endangering the
Joy-riders, the slow moving trucks and
the myriad other tardy vehicles which
form Uie real barrier on any open
road.
Uniform Road Rules Are

of New York, 0.1 Liberty street.
Doubt as to the legal practicability
of the plan was expressed by some
members of the I!ur association com

Method for Increasing
Strength of Concrete
The strongest concrete will be ob
tslned by the least possible amount
of water In the mixing to produce s
plustlc rnortar or mix. but after the
concrete Is placed 'h concrete should
be kept wet for at least ten days. If
great strength of wear or strain la
needed as In highways.
Keeping the concrete dump the first
ten days adds 75 per cent to Its com
presslve strength, and adds tk per
cent to Its resistance to wear. Three
weeks of constant moisture will add
still greater strength and resistance.
Constant sprinkling may not he pos
sible. Cover the concrete deeply with
dirt, sand, buy or anything Unit will
hold moisture snd It will serve tb
purpose desired.
