WASHINGTON WARNS BOATS IN VICINITY Forecasters Unable to Say At What Point Storm Will Leave Gulf WASHINGTON — (AP) — The Weather bureau, charting the course ‘of the tropical rtorm which’ Monday took #x lives at the western tip rof Cuba, Tuesday re perted it about 250 miles southeast of the Misvissippi mouth, moving slowly northwest or west -north west. Forecasters said it would not reach the coastline Tuesday and possibly not Wednesday, and that probably it would not be posgible to teil where it would leave the Gulf until Thursday morning. Irn present indication, they said, it was not likely to come near the Florida coastline. Caution was advised vessels in the path of the siorm in Tuesday morning’s bulletin because the dis turbance carried winds of hurri cane force over a small area. Weather bureau reports said tho disturbance apparently was ~mov ing north-northwestward and a drizzling rain, driven by south wins, began to fali in Miami Mon day night. Fresh winds, probably ranging as high as thirty miles an hour, were forecast for the Flori da west coast. Storm warnings at Key West were reduced to smali craft notices. ¥ The storm blew up a week ago and killed thirteen in southery Trinidad where the government estimated damage at $3,000,000. It followed a water route nearly a thourand miles to pounce on Pinar Del Rio, in Western Cuba. Ha vana, out of the storm path, re ported oceasional gusts of wind reaching a velociay of 70 miles an hour but no property damage was reported and the prevailing speed was 18 to 20 miles an hour. . Weather observers said the storm was of small diameter and that its intensity apparently had diminished. ’ MARKED BY DAMAGE HAVANA, — (AP) -— The path of a tropical storm over western Cuba was marked Tuesday by property damage through Pinar Del Rio province with five known dead and seores injured. President Machado ordered civil and military authorities to aid the homeless and prevent looting. Warnings issued before the dis turbance moved Cuba from Trini dad, where 18 persons were killed, were called responsible - for the relatively slight losses.

LET’S GO OVER THE TOP Not by any stretch of the imagination is it possible to envision the picture of hopelessness written on the countenances of little children, crippled and helpless, and their parents, as they are turned away from a haven that offers hope—in many cases, promises of recovery. The imagination is incapable of registering the poignancy of such a spectacle—it has to be wit nessed by the eye. Yet, this is an almost daily occurrence at Warm Springs, Georgia, which, in recent months, has be come the mecca of pathetic little victims of the rav ages of the dread infantile paralysis. Absence of ability to pay does not exclude applicants for admis sion as long as facilities are adequate to accommo date them, but with the present arrangement, largely improvised, only a small percentage of those who would eagerly submit to the course of treatment may be admitted. . Housing accommodations are woefully inadequate. : There is nothing more appealing than the wistful ness of helpless little children, imbued with the nor mal desires and inclinations characteristic of their age, but whose physical activities are cruelly circumscribed by withered little limbs. Is there any affliction more capable of awakening our better impulses and arous ing us to a philanthropic effort to place within the reach of all such unfortunates the me=ans of possible refuge from a life of bandage that need not necessarily encumber them? The avenue of escape for these little sufferers will be thrown open if and when Georgians succeed in pro viding the sum of SIOO,OOO for the erection of Geor gia Hall at Warm Springs, which will be equipped to meet the requirements of all, and with the establish ment of which, none need be turned away, Georgia Hall will be a charitable institution in that inability to pay will exclude no applicant for admis sion. Those who are financially able will pay; those who are not, will receive the same treatment free of charge, and it is this contingent that will constitute the major portion of patients. _ : To place within their grasp a life mora abundant —opening up broad vistas of human experience that at present are denied them; to afford them that equality of opportunity to which every child is entitled—this, succinctly is the motivating force that is spurring the promoters of the Georgia Hall campaign on to victory, which is now in sight. Clarke county drew a quota of SISOO as her share in this laudable enterprise—an inconsequential sum as compared with the good it will accomplish. Al ready, more than SI2OO of our apportionment has been subscribed, and with only $270 standing between us and the coveted goal, The Banner-Herald feels posi tive that this small deficiency will be more than pro vided tomorrow when, as a grand finale to the previ ous effort, girls and young women will sell Georgia Hall Tags under the direction of the Ladies’ Spanish War Veterans Auxiliary. Let’s resolve right now to raise the balance of $270 tomorrow. When “tagged’” by one of the ladies, loosen up the purse strings to the extent of your sympathy for the little sufferers who are to profit by your generosity. If that is done, we will go over the top with flying colors, for there is no community whose sympathetic reaction to human affliction excels that which has ever been manifest in Clarke county.

W. Bar nett, deposed chairman of the Highway board. . The meeting was held in Moul- Etrie because Commissioner W. C. Vereen could not come to Atlanta ;’on account of the serious illness iof Mrs. Vereen, Chairman Bar nett said, and was attended by Chairman Barnet:, Commissioner chreen, and B. P. McWhorter, [State Highway engineer. All three of, these Highway department of [ficluls were removed from their iofflces in the Highway department by Governor Talmadge under the present martial law regulations prevailing at the State Capitol and Highway department. “Plans were made for subnrit ting projects to the United States Bureau of Good Roads under the federal aid allotmer]t for Georgia and numerous other routine mat ters were disposed of at the meet# ing,” Chairman Barnett stated.

Pound, Beloved Citizen For Two Decades, Takes Up New Duties Today At Valdosta As Head of Woman’s College By CARL HANCOCK Athens lot one of its most be loved and -distinguished citizens today when Dr. Jere M. Pound left for Valdosta to assume his new duties as president of the Georgia £ ate Woman's coilege. For twenty-cne year Dr. Pound has gaided the destinies of the lo cal college for girls, known various- ly as Ciw Rock College the State Nermal school, Sta'e Normal col lege, Georgia State Tea her’: col: lege, and lastly, the College of Education. It technically lost its identity on July Ist when it be came a part of the University of Georgia as a result of recent ac tion by the Board of Regent: pf the University system. It will he called in the futire the Cor-ordi nate Junior Woman's College. _ Dr. Pound was called to the Athens school in 1912 from Bar ne' vile, Georgla where he was president of Gordon Institute for fifteen years. Ai'revious to that time he had served as head of the department of education at the Georgia State College for Women at Milledgeville, as cuperintend ent of the Bibb . county schools and was state superintendent of schools for a period of two and a haM year:. In this latter position he did much missionary work throughout the state in communities where good schools were then unknown. He was forced to resign as state school superintendent because th: salary paid at that time was in sufficient to cover the cost of the travel which he necessarilly had to do. : From what was a struggling lit MOSGOW SILENT ON U. 5. SOVIET LOMN Russia Please dby' News Of R. F. C. Loan of $4,- 000,000 to Buy Cotton MOSCOW.—(AP)—Official com ment has been refused on all sides upon the announcement that the American Reconstruction Finance Corporation has granted a $4,000,- 000 loan to the Soviet government with which to purchase cotton from the United States. The Soviet press up to the pres ent has not published the an nouncement. Both the Foreign office and the commissariat® for foreign trade cautiously refrained from dis cussnig the matter in any partic ular, apparently awaiting instruc tions from higher up as to just what the official attitude should be in view of the delicacy with rwhich the subject of Soviet-Amer y ican relations is treated here. ' Unquestionably however, the action of the American Finance corporation will be: pleasing to Moscow authorities because it may =ignify the lifting of the Am erican blockade on financial as sistance to the Sovviets with fu ture potentialities for a chance in the American attitude wupon recognition. The news would be pleasing also because Russia needs cotton and may need it for some time to come. Notwithstanding ambi tious claims of the Soviet press that the country is now virtually independent of cotton impeorts, it is known that last year's domestic crop’ was only ahout half the Sov iets’ manufacturing capacity of four to five million tons annually.

A sign lets in the ravaged field read: “This is the beginring.
