MEXICO, D. F. —(AP)— Mexi
co’s resources were mobilized
Monday to aid the storm-stricken
and flooded city of Tampico, where
estimates placed the mnumber of
dead or injured as high as 5,000 and
thousands were left homeless.
Enormous property damage was
reported.
Two relief trains, carrying bat
talions of infantrymen to aid in re
construction work and food and
medical supplies, were enroute to
the oil port. ‘
But parts of the city were under
14 feet of water and railroad tracks
in the area were flooded or wash
ed away, so it was problematical
when they could arrive. A squad
ron of military airplanes was or
dered to leave at dawn, Mean
while, Tampico wag virtually iso
lated from the outside world.
Struck Two Days Ago.
Although siore than two days
have passed since the hurricane
struck with all its fury, the city
was without communication facil
ities except by meang of wireless
from ship in the harbor. Officials
reported the damage there and in
cother parts of the nation was
“catastrophic.”
The military chief of the district
reported by wireless that three
fourths of Tampico was destroyed
with many victims.
Unofficial reports set the death
toll at from 200 to 5,000. Dis
patches by round-about means
said the wind, of 125-mile-an-hour
velocity, leveled the ecivil hospital,
railroad station, and customs house
and that nearly every structure was
destroyed or unroofed.
It was feared that hundreds had
been buried alive in the ruins.

RING LARDNER DIES
AT NEW YORK HOME
Famous Humorist Loses
Ten-Year Fight Against
Tuberculosis
BY DALE HARRISON
NEW YORK — (AP) — Ring!
Lardner, who once noted that there'
wasn’t much difference between his!
native Niles, Mich., and his adopt
ed New York because both begin'
with an “N”, has lost his long]
fight against tuberculosis.
The lean, six-foot humorist who
made you and me know Al and
who became a ranking figure of
American literature, died suddenly
at his East Hampton, Long Island,‘
home Monday night in the forty-'
eighth year of an active, interesting
life. i
For ten years Ringgold Wilmer
Lardner has fought the disease.
During those years, with the spec
ter drawing steadily closer, his
humor flowed on, bringing laughs
to the faces of those who saw on
the stage “Elmer the Great,” and
then “June Moon,” and to other
tens of thousands who read his
“Story of a Wonder Man,” “Love
Nest,”” and other stories.
Heart disease, complicated by
other ailments, was given by his
doctors ag the immediate cause of
his death.
Only in the last few years has
the Lardner typewriter gone on
short hours. His doctors erdered
him to the southwest, and he re
mained there many months. When
he returned to New York several
months ago he was reported much
better. .
His days of quantity production,
however, were over. He did a
column on radio in the weekly
“New Yorker”—a humorous, eriti
cal column that carried a sting for
those artists, those sponsors and
those stations which he felt were
not serving the public need for «
tertainment. The sweep of the

CLAIM TELEPHONE
RATES JUSTIFIED
Official Says Operation
More Costly Where Two
Base Rate Areas Exist
ATLANTA, Ga.—(AP)—Thirty
one of the 115 telephone exchanges
operated in Georgia by the South
ern Bell Telephone company have
more than one base rate area, and
an additional charge of 63 cents
for each quarter of a mile outside
the initial area if assessed, it was
brought out before the Georgia
Public Service commission Tues
day.
- State Manager Barton Baird
said the additional charge for ex
‘tension of the qervice is justified
by the requirement of more poles
and longer wires as well as the
‘larger upkeep cost for suburban
and rural lines.
As an example of the communi

Chicago Robber Is
Shot With Own Gun
By Teller in Bank
| CHICAGO.—(AP)—A bank teller
shot a robber with his own pistol
in the Monroe street offices of the
Bank of Nova Scotia Tuesday and
thwarted a holdup that might
have netted $15,000.
In a rough and tumble pattie
on the floor of the bank, the con
feaerate of the wounded robber
beat two bank employes on the
head with the butt of his revolver,
then escaped to the street. The
wounded man, shot through the
neck by the teller, also reached
the street but was caught by a
traffic policeman.
. The two robbers entered the
second floor offices of the Nova
‘Scotia bank at opening time and
rounded up the employes. All
were forced to lie on the floor.
Just as one of the pair was
ready to rifie the tellers’ cages
'which contained $15,000 in cur
wency, a man walked in the front
door.
' Attention of the robbers was
diverted for the moment. Francis
J. McElherne, chief teller, sprang
to his feet and snatched the pis
fol from one robber and fired at
him. The wounded man ran, while
his companion grappled with other
employes, struck right and left
with his weapon and then eluded
pursuers.

WELCOME, UNIVERSITY STUDENTS
With the resumption of classes at the University of
Georgia set for tomorrow signalizing the opening of
the first quarter, Athens is again vibrant with young
life. Of its manifold attractions, we have always re
garded the presence of the University students as one
of Athens’ chief allurements.
Youth in itself is ever attractive, whether at play
or at more serious occcupation, and the presence of
youth in such abundance as is found in Athens im
parts to the community a bouyancy of spirit and a
degree of vigor that would not otherwise prevail.
For which reason, Athens has come to look forward
to the opening of the University in the fall with a
sense of anticipation not unlike the welcome which
we are wont to accord the birds and the flowers as
harbingers of spring. So, we are confident we ex
press the sentiments of the entire community when
we say “Welcome, thrice welcome, young men and
young women.””’ ey
In this connection, we recall a conversation with
the late beloved Dr. Harry White, of the University
faculty—always a most fascinating gentleman and
one whose mental alertness and effervescent spirit,
even in his declining years, challenged everyone’s ad
miration. Someone asked Dr, White how he account
ed for his longevity and his robust health. (This
after he had rounded out fifty years as a faculty
member.) His quick reply was ‘“Moderation,” ad
ding smilingly, “I work a little, play a little, eat a
little, drink a little, smoke a little,” and so on, all of
which are admitted concomitants of long life, but
our own conviction in the case of Dr. White was that,
despite the encroachment of years, his constant as
sociation with the student body enabled him to re
tain his youthful viewpoint, which, we are satisfied,
was a factor equally as potent as those he enumerat
ed. For more than fifty years, he was in intimate
daily contact with the young life at the University,
and while the students were absorbing the knowledge
that he imparted, he was (perhaps unconsciously) im
bibing of the stimulating spirit of youth that was af
forded by this association, with the result that his in
vulnerability to that process of decadance, commonly
associated with the filght of time, was quite ap
parent.
And that which was true of this most estimable
gentlemen, also applies with equal force to the com
munity as a whole. Athens, while advanced in years,
is still young in spirit; enlivened by a youthful view
point and a perspective that is yet undimmed, Athens
will never grow old—thanks to the invigorating in
fluence of its student population. For the presence
in such generous numbers of the very flower of the
young manhood and young womanhood of Georgia,
as well as other states—boys and and girls whose
hopes and ambitions have not yet felt the blighting
effects of disillusionment—promotes and nourishes a
spirit of vigor and optimism that permeates the en
tire community and serves as a counter-balance 'to
any tendency toward decreptitude. :
And in extending a welcome te the students, it is
not inappropriate that we should felicitate Doctor
Sanford and his associates upon the prospects for one
of the most eventful sessions in the history of the
University. The task of integrating the three units
at Athens and co-ordinating the work of the institu
tion has been practically accomplished, and the fact
that a wholesome regard for the usefulness of the
University of Georgia is universally felt is attested by
the large and satisfactory enrollment for the opening
quarter. ‘
So in extending a word of welcome to the student
body, we also, with equal fervor, salute Dr. Sanford
and his assistants, and wish them continued success in
shaping the destinies of the young men and young
women entrusted to their care.
Charlie Chaplin’s Sons’ Income Is Cut
By Judge to a Mere $350 Per Month
HOLLLWOOD, Calif.— (AP) —
Charlie Chaplin's two sons will
have to get along on a mere $350
‘a month.
They had been getting $5600
monthly for living expenses until
Superior Judge Charles Crail
rulqd in Los Angeles Monday that
the allowances would be reduced.
It was the fifth current account of
Mrs. Lita Grey Chaplin’s guar
dianship of her two sons, Charles,
jr, and Sydney. Under a ruling
of the court it will be her last as
Judge Crail decided she need not
account for expenditures under
the reduced allowance.
Mrs. Chaplin Dbitterly took to
task her former husband and his
attorneys for forcing her to come
to court so explain what she
termed “ridiculous things.” Near
the ciose of the hearing she be
came widly hysterical.

Not if Mr. Chaplin thought any

the whole business. Mr. Chaplin
brings me to court on the slight

Through his attorneys, the film

which disclosed that some $33,000
had been expended on the two
boys in 22 months. Mrs. Chaplin
was questioned about items she
stated she was unable to remem

her.
