time nearly all traffic was paralyzed
and 24 hour after the first roar of
mud and rock-laden waters had terri
fied the victims there waa only a
semblance of orderly lnterurban and
railroad train movement.
Cloudburst Blamed.
Tracing the course of the disaster.
flood control engineers agreed that a
cloudburst in the Montrose area pre
cipitated most of the damage and loss
of life. Montrose Is a community
cupped In the foothills about lil
miles due north of Los Angeles, sep
arated from the metropolis by the
low-lying Vardugo mountains.
Fate apparently had prepared cir
cumstances well for the terror it was
to enact Sunday. Several weeks ago
a disastrous fire, a blaze subsequent
to the one In Griffith park here,
which took 29 lives, had ubrned the
La Crescenta-La Canada-Montrose
area bare of the brush that protected
the surrounding mountainsides.
Normally heavy growths on moun
tain slopes will counteract the possi
bility of floods resulting from heavy
rains. Thus with the hillsides bare,
no resistance was offered by nature
to the excessive rainfall.
Olrl Tells Experience.
Raining constantly, beginning late
last Saturday, water accumulated
until a wall 25 feet high was freed.
Fourteen -year-old Jean Beauchamp
told what It sounded like what It
did.
I was in a house alone when 1
heard a roar like a wind storm ap
proaching. The roar grew louder and
louder. Timbers crashed and then 1
heard the rush of water. I was too
scared to run. Then suddenly the
flood struck our home. The lights
went out and I was thrown Into the
muddy water. Rocks struck me as I
tumbled through the water."
Jean lived because she could swim
and saw the stout branch of an oak
tree, which she grasped, pulling her
self to safety.
Another said that "as the black
demon of roar in water hit, the build- ;
Ing quivered for a few minutes and
then the wall went out and we found
ourselves tossed about, fighting rocks.1
boulders and debris as we were swept
on."
So fast did the water flow in streets

runnlngboard of her husband's auto
mobile and attempting to ford the
swlft-runntng torrent by foot was
sucked beneath the machine to her!
death.
Five Die In Auto.
Five died when their automobile,
groping through the gloom, plunged
through a bridge washout and was
caught like a splinter In the mael
strom of mud and water which had
swept away the crossing. Three more
automobiles disappeared over another
bridge In a similar 'manner. Several
men In them managed to swim to
safety, but two women and another
man have disappeared. Police expect
L
to uncover tneir bodies in the ac
cumulation of silt and some may
even have been washed as far as the
ocean, 30 miles distant from the!
scene or the accident.
Automobiles were buried up to the
hoods and sometimes nearly to the
tops in debris and bom fell Into
washes and gullies. i
Streets In all sections were paved
by silt to a depth ranging between
six Inches to two feet. In some areas
the avalanche of water still rumbled
past today, although the principal
danger apparently has passed, the
weather bureau predicting unsettled
weather today and clearing Wednes
day. Schools Closed.
Schools here and in Glendale.
which adjoins the Montrose district
did not open today. Examination of
schools here already was underway
as a result of the March earthquake,
and it was feared the floods may have
further weakened some structures.
Sheriffs' deputies had retrieved 10
bodies from the wreckage in the
Montrose district. Most of the vic
tims were believed to have been In
some 35 houses which were destroyed
by the flood. Twenty-five' other
homes were damaged extensively.
Patrols were set up in all districts
to prevent sabotage.
In some sections of the Montrose
district the highways are covered with j
IS feet of debris, here and there an
automobile or truck protruding. Tele
phone, gas. light and water mains
were wrecked. i
llellef Organized. j
While police and sheriffs officials
directed a search for victims and
sought identification of the bodies j
recovered, other agencies organized;
quickly to provide relief for sufferers
and repair the damage done.
Legionnaires aided the policing of
the districts and helped supply first
aid for many sufferers. Some 3.000
OWA workers pledged their aid in
bringing order out of chaos and will
be taken into the Montrose district
this morning to begin the work of
clearing highways.
In sections of Venice, beach resort,
where 1,500 homes were flooded deep

to the sea in canals, life guards man

WATCH THEIR EYES
The most precious heritage your
children receive from life is the
faculty of sight. Without good
vision, life cannot be lived to the
fullest. Nothing can take its place.
But children do not realize how
precious their eyes are. They do not
realize that to strain their eyes by
reading or playing in a glaring light
or in gloom may seriously impair
their vision in later years. You must
watch, their eyes and guard them from strain.
It is a peculiar fact that children invariably
pick a poorly lighted part of a room to read
or play. This is a danger that can only be elimi
nated by having good lighting throughout the room.
If you have children in your
home, watch their eyes when
they are reading or studying. If
they squint or frown, or hold
m

their book too close to their eyes,
lose no time in finding out and cor
recting the cause of their eyestrain.
In a bulletin on child welfare, the
statement is made that, "many a
child groping with poor eyes and
struggling for an education against
this handicap, becomes not only a
stupid child, but a rebellious child."
Where the light is poor the child
is sure to strain his eyes. This may
result in impaired vision in lator years that will
prove to be a handicap throughout life.
Many dealers, as well as this company, are sell
ing a new indirect type of home lighting fixture that
provides CORRECT lighting with a minimum of
expense. Look to your light
ing if you would keep the
priceless treasure of good eyesight.
Restful LIGHT Is Kind to Your Eyes
