East Goes West and V. V.
Annoying Holdup. .
Tornado Exaggeration.
No Pineapples, Please.
(Copyright, 1928. by Star Co.)
Monday, Mr. Hoover from
California was telling the east
why it .should vote to retain
and increase Jtcpuhlican pros
perity. Governor Smith, from New
York was on his way west to
tell fa riders why they should
put out Kepublieans and put
Democrats in.
Many speeches about prohi
bition, nullification, as Kepub-
lieans call, it, modification, as
J Democrats call it.
.Much whispering ami loud
talking about religion.
But the real issue is I'KOS-
Once workmen talked about
the full dinner pail. Now they
talk about the full pocketbook.
V The job of Democrats is to
convince the public that the
I national pocketbook will ex-
pand, and national savings in-

rule. Nothing else really counts.

A lady bandit adds annoy
ing features to the holdup in
dustry. Twelve gentlemen were play
ing poker in Brooklyn, a po
liceman among them. Violent
sobbing at the door, a woman
in distress. The poker players

lady. She points one automat
ic steadily while her friends col
lect pocket'oooks and jewelry,

Then to facilitate the "get
nway" the young lady of the
dibs and automatic told the 1
ga mblers, "Drop your trousers
to your knees." They obeyed
hastily, leaving them hobbled.
Any man can appreciate their
predicament. Lady and hold

"Tampa, Flu., Sept. 17.

were policing UU towns of the isl
nnd. The guardsmen wen? called
nut by Governor lluraco M. Town-i
or after reports became prevalent
that in several towns devastated
by the tropical hurricane starving
people had stormed mul looted
.stores.
Instructions were also issued to
!!f volunteer reserve officers: to
proceed throughout the island, de
livering emergency supplies, in
forming the inhabitants of relief
plans and surveying the needs.
(Governor Towner In a radio
message to the war department
last night staled there was "no
disorders anywhere" and there was
"absolutely no necessity for mar
tial law.") v

a dozen towns. In appealing for
aid, informed him thta the pcoplcl
of their towns would mob them if,
!hev returned emoty-handed. They
bogged for something, cither money j
or food, to take back with them, i
The mayors said their people were
in a desperate plight and were
plunged Indespalr because of lack
of relief.
Mr. linker arrived with five As
sistants" on. the Knitcd States do
st royer Cillmer and they at once
plunged into the work of organiz
ing relief measures.
With about one-third of the Isl
and heard from, the list of known
dead stood at 311. llelief parties
found, however, thai reports which
came through from various sec
tions tended to confirm first esti
mates of a death toll of 1.000 and
a properly h.s of S 1 00.ooo.noo.
In many instances it seemed
probable noe reports of deaths
would come to the authorities.
Pedro X. Moritz. health commis
sioner, said that in the country
many of the dead were buried
where their bodies were found and
no attempt was made to Inform
the authorities. . j
San .Tuan police found evidence
of the prevalence of the grief and
despair In a sudden wave of siti-
rides. Within 2-1 hours four per-1
sous killed themselves and four
others attempted to take their own
lives.
