SAD CHRISTMAS IS IN 1
STORE FI LOUIS;
' JACKSONVILLE, Dec. 23. (/P)—A
bleak Christmas appeared on the
horizon to dwellers of the lowlands
along the Mississippi and other
rivers which have been swollen by
the heavy rains as they have to
stand guard at their levees, search
for flood victims or may even be
deprived of their hemes.
Many towns in Loiuisiana, Ar
kansas and Tennessee have been
inundated by the high waters and
aviators who have surveyed the
property damage report that there
appears to be much damage.
The Red Cross has come to the
relief of the areas suffering from
the floods.
Juneau was rocked recently by
an earthquake-like tremor that
rattled dishes and windows, and
otherwise conducted itself like a
real trembler. But it was a mere
man-made shock, says the Juneau
Empire.
It was the result of the biggest
"shot” ever set off in the Alaska
Juneau mine. Eight hundred box
es of giant powder, exploded simul
taneously, was the origin of the
quake.
Forty thousand pounds of powder
were fired in the shot. This had
been placed in 13 piles at the foot
of a 400-foot cliff. The piles were
connected with a cordeau. This is
a lead tube, or pipe, which is filled
with TNT. To this was attached
a 25-foot slow-burning fuse.
The fuse was lighted in the usual
way. It required between 16 and
17 minutes for the spark to reach
the cordeau which detonated, ex
ploding the 13 piles of powder sim
ultaneously.
It is estimated that the explos
ion broke down 750,000 tons of rock.
MANY BEING TAKEN
BACK NATIVE LINDS
NEW YORK, Dec. 24. (£>) — Two
large barges bearing 491 men, wo
men and children crossed the Hud
son River yesterday to make con
nections with a steamer leaving for
Europe.
All the people were persons who
are being deported by Uncle Sam
and they were picked up along the
whole breadth of the country, a
train having started at Seattle and
having picked up more persons
along the way until they arrived in
New York.
One hundred and 25 of those be
ing deported were voluntary de
portees who would rather return to j
their native land than remain here.
