has swept 300 miles oi uuoa b uorm
ern coast, roared through Havana, to
day, crashing In doors, toppling over
signs, damaging roofs and terrorizing
Vie populace.
Father Gutierrez Lanza, veteran
weather expert at the Belen obser
vatory, said Just before 2 p. m the
etorm center was somewhere between
Havana and Matanzaa, fifty, miles to
the east.
"It Is In full process of develop
ment," he said, "and Its Intensity
Increases gradually. Winds In Havana
are blowing Intermittently, occasion
ally reaching 70 miles an hour and
Increasing In velocity.- The barom
eter Is falling."
Damage Counted
The storm did considerable dam
age in its journey along the north
ern coast. At some points there were
tidal waves. No reports of casualties
were received.
It was Impossible, however, to de
termine exactly what had happened,
as all telegraph and telephone com
munications with cities in the area
were broken.
Before the wires went down Mat
anzas reported serious damage along
the waterfront. Fire department
headquarters and other buildings
were blown down.
"The winds will blow from the
north during the first half of the
eyclone. until the arrival of the calm
at the oenter of the disturbance,
Father Lanza said.
Populace Warned
"Windows looking to the north
Should be well fastened. During the
calm windows facing south should
be closed, since the winds' will come
suddenly from this direction as the
period ot calm ends.
"The direction of the cyclone Is
westward Its center Is now between
Matanzas and Havana,-and lta in ten
slty, although not yet comparable
with chat of the cyclone of 1936. Is
sufficient to make all precautions ad
visable. "High seas may assuredly be ex
pected along the entire waterfront."
Isabels De Bagua, & community of
4,000 people, was In the path of the
storm as It progressed along the nor
thern coast on the way to Havana.
Military authorities evacuated every
one In the town, commandeering
17-car train to assist in getting the
people out.
A small section of the Lamecon
wall, Havana's famous seashore prom
enade, was destroyed by the pound
ing sea.
All along the coast the seas were
.heavy, creating grave danger for
many fi&hing vessels.

pErTROlT. Sept., . (AP) While
belief grew here today that Henry
Ford haa some' spectacular "go It
alone" plan up his sleeve In his con
troversy with the NBA, a source close
to the motor manufacturer today
scoffed at a rumor that sharing pro
fit with employes la a part of the
scheme.
Of all the reports which have been
circulated about what Ford who haa
not signed the NRA automobile cods
may or may not do, an associate ox
the manufacturer, who refused to
permit his name to be used, selected
the profit-sharing gossip for a flat
denial.
"It's strictly the bunk," he said,
Idea Discounted
Other associates, declining the use
of their names, said they did not
believe the motor manufacturer ever
would agree to "any further scheme
of profit-sharing than Is now prac
ticed." They said that for many
years employes of the Ford Motor
company have participated In the
company's profits through an organi
zation bank from which employe-
depositors drew Interest based on
profits.
Belief continued to grow here,
however, that the motor magnate,
who has refused any comment on his
position. Is preparing for a public
explanation of his refusal to sign the
code, perhaps early next week when
he returns here. t
Expect statement Tuesday
"We look for the whole thing to be
cleared up by next Tuesday," said
one associate of Ford, declining to
explain further.
Pressed for a statement, officials
remaining here during the vacation
period said they knew nothing that
would substantiate a report circulat
ed widely today that Ford Is plan
ning to bring forth his own "business
code" that will better the NRA agree,
ment signed by other automotive
manufacturers.
It was pointed out that a 35 per
cent Increase In wages to employes
would place the Ford Company back
on the $5 a day wage abandoned a
few years ago. The present mini
mum of AO cents an hour is for sn
olght-hour, five day week.
One associate also pointed out that
by Tuesday, Ford will be back from
bla vacation. Other Ford officials
who are absent also wilt return.

BEVERLY HILLS, Cal., Aug.
31. See picture in the papers
of an old boy eating 54 ears of
com as an appetizer and a
woman 71 years old stored
away 45. Since we give 'em
the vote there just is no end to
women's cleverness. Slen just
can't hardly beat 'era at any
thing.
If Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace will get busy and pro
mote a lot of these corn-eating
contests, (there is no reason
why it can't be made as popu
lar as bridge; it has much more
to recommend it) well, with a
tot of these contests they won't
have to be plowing tip every
third row of corn.
Long Wand better have this
kind of parties. Then they can't
throw anything at the senators
but cobs.
