VP) At least two dozen persons were reported dead and 25 missing in this city and Nogales, Sunorn, Mex- ' ico, 'following a torrential out l.'tirst of rain last night and early " today. Surging walls of water, preced ing a heavy; steady downpour, itruck this border district at 11 o'clock last night and swept thru' the streets of both cities, l-'urni-Itlre, trees and pUYts of buildings Were swirled nbom as rushing walls of water poured northward from . the Konora side over the International border. At 3 a.m., the chief of police of Nogales, Sonorn, made his way to the American side and said he had received reports of at least twn dozen deaths, although he could moke no personal confirma tion. . He declared 26 children had been . reporteil missing from their homes. Confusion lU'lgiis. Utmost confusion reigned on both sides of the harder and lit tle could be done to confirm the mnny reports of deaths. A Nogales, Sonoru, hotel of ndobe construction, crumbled at lour o'clock. It was not known now many persons were in the building at the time. Mexican police said they feared similar occurrences ' and that as many lives would be lost in collapsing buildings as by drowning. Physicians and nurses were being mobilized on the American side and all space In hospitals here was made ready. Rescue work, was made difficult because of darkness and the heavy rain. At four o'clock the skies still were pouring forth sheets of wnter and there was no perceptible slacken In,' of the flood.. , ; : Children Swept Away. !'. An American aviator, Don-"Phil lips, visiting on the Mexican side, managed to make his way to the American city and said he had seen scvernl small children swept away when an adobe building collapsed.

Several persons from the resi dential section of Nogales, Ariz reported they had seen three baby cribs floating down Morly avenue, hue were unable to reach them. They said they heard babes cry ing in the cribs. Police here believe the Sonora Hide Wiis the hardest hit. Flood waters poured from the Mexican side over the International border with considerable force, and po lice said It appeared impossible that numerous persons were not drowned. They declared the flood waters had struck both cities be lore rain had fallen and that mnny inhabitants must have been trapped In their beds. Shanghai Has 2.78I.S34. HITAXriHAI.

Of course the more that is canned the bigger the financial gain, but even a few jars of preserves and glasses of Jelly stored away will help cut food bills next winter. Pickles and relishes made of cu cumbers, tomatoes, cabbage and watermelon rind are also economical to put up. Their spicy tarl-sweet goodness is most welcome when meats and fish are served. Canned fruit has a place in the balanced diet. Most of them are rich in vitamins. For children, canned fruit is an ideal breakfast dish or a fitting dessert. Beyond a doubt, the housewife who puts up plenty of fruit this summer will find that its consump tion next winter will help keep her family well and save her money Good food promotes good health.
