Loss of Life Was Re
ported in Two Cities.
UP) —The hurricane that cost the
lower Florida cast coast upward of
400 lives, 4,000 or more injured and
property damage of $50,1X10,000 or
more, having passed, all sections hit
today centered their efforts on trying
to ascertain the exact casualty list,
restoring interrupted communications
and repairing the property damage.
The Miami nrea, hardest hit of all.
was going about the work of rehabili
tation, caring for the injured, and
seeking out the dead in systematic
manner. The American Red Cross
and other relief agencies were on hand
in full force with troops on guard and
martial law existing in many places.
The injured in Hollywood. Miami
suburb, have been ordered removed to
points north of the city, and persons
unable to secure aid in the relief and.
rehabilitation work have been In
structed by the military authorities
to evacuate the city, according to in
formation brought to West Palm
Beach by Dr. William K. Redden,
national director of the American Red
Cross medical service. Dr. liedden
yesterday, made a fiemopabaurvey -ot
fi^dlngsfo^Vashington!
Dr. Redden* estimated the seriously
injured at 1.400. He found 1,8150 pa
tieiits in Miami hospitals, and esti
mated that the 'total Injured there
was 3,500, of whom 1.000 snlfehed se
rious hurts. About 500 of these had
fractured limbs and skulls.
Pensacola and Mobile, hit by thr
hurricane just before it passed inland
and expired, made kuown to the
world that there was no loss of life in
either city. Mobile again was connect
ed with the outside world by a tele
graph. wire, but Pensacola still was
cut off early today,' while the only
means of' communication being over
a shaky telephone w're to Mobile. Ov
er this wire, and through a wireless
dispatch to the Associated Press from
its Pensacola correspondent it was
learned that Pensacola came through
a 120-mile blow without loss of life,
but with considerable property dam
age.
Several ships went ashore. There
were throe deaths in that section due
to drowning, but none in Pensacola.
At Moorehaven. an agricultural
on the western bank of I-ake Okeecho
bee, martial tew went Into effect early
today nnd efforts were being made to
check up the death list, already known
to be around 100. Approximately 7C?
bodies had beeu recovered up to last,
night, and it was said that 40 others
had been found or would be recovered
today. Estimates still put the deaths
here at 150 or more, most of the vic
tims 'white. j
In some places final surveys have
brought down the original death list,
‘ some persons previously reported dead
having been found alie. Th ! s was the
case of "Oete” (McAllister, carried
for two days as being among the dead,
who has wired relftives under date of
Sunday that he is alive and well.
At Fort Lauderdale the death list
earn? down to 11, but at Hollywood
it is expected that the total will be
around 70. Miami Beach, it was re
vealed, as deaths were checked up, and
Biseayne Bay gave up the bodies wash
ed out to sea, had a list of 22 known
dead.
The property loss at Coral Gables,
was conservatively estimated at sl,-
500,000, in an official statement. This
suburb suffered probably less than
any of the Miami suburbs.
Okedant. an Everglades village, was
wrecked, only the post office and the
store building remaining, it was re
vealed. The population of 21 persons
sleeps in this building since the storm.
The first hospital train came out
of the storm d strict last night car
rying 46 pat'ents and 113 refugees to
West Palm Beach and Fort Pierce.

ships came into Miami today and
their cargoes of food and medical sup
plies were being quickly unloaded and
distributed among various relief agen
cies and hospitals.
500 Refugees Reach Jacksonville.
JneksouvU'e, Sept. 22.—(^) —Five
hundred refugees from the stony
swept area of southern Florida ar
rived ’acre today on the special refugee
towns as well ns in the trucking and
farming sections are completed.
Official reports to the national Red

overflowing waters of Lake Okeecho
bee.
All of the Injured at Hollywood are
being sent either to West I’alm Beach
og Jacksonville, while nl women nnd
children are being moved from the
possible ep denries npd
fp permit reconstruction of the' city.
Nine first aid stations have been
established In Miami. Latest advices
said the number of doctors and nurses
in that area was sufficient to meet the
situation and that plenty of food,
water and milk were available.
A somewhat different picture of the
situation was given in dispatches sent
to the Navy Department by the officer
in charge of the naval relief work in
Miami. He declared the bread supply
too low for the demand, and receipts
from all sources of supply were about
hnlf the demand.
This officer also reported that there
was considerable worry about the
waser supply and its contamination,
and suggested that the navy furnish
relief from the north by us'ng tanks
to transport water. He also urged
that experts in sanitation be sent to
Miami.
Bluejackets from Key West, who
had been patrolling the Miami water
front. were reported to have removed
16 bodies from vessels sunk in the
harbor. Divers are being sent to Key
West to continue this search. \
Latest advices from the Gulf Coast
told of 3 deaths from drownings while
the hurricane lashed that section, but
official announcements from both Pen
sacola and Mobile said there bad beeu
no toll of life in either of the cities.
, A message from Mayor Beyliff sent to
the Navy radio station at New Orleans
said small shipping had. suffered and
the light structures near thg wnter
front were badly damaged. The des
patch added that the Santa Rosa Is
land had protected the city, as usual,
nnd that the people generally were
busy cleaning up. Reports from Mo
bile were that it was rapidly clean ! ng
up with the expectation that all traces
of the storm would be removed within
24 hours. Business was going on as
usual, but street car service was still
paralyzed and a number of telephones
were out of commission.

TO MAKE A CHILD
1 IMMUNE FROM DIPHTHERIA)
* ; I
, This Treatment is Administered Free
>| !>>• ike State Board of Health. ,
j Tribune Bureau. j
j Sir Walter HA*.
I Raleigh, Sept. 22. —
Jhaps the most dangerous decani ot
j childhood, is continuing to etpopug ill :
i the stale, despite the -campaign!
(being waged throughout the State;
aud the United States to educate j
I parents to its perils, particularly J
where children are between the ages |
lof 18 months and six years old, and j
Ito inform them that modern scimioe j
has discovered a method of con»ol.
which if adopted, make! a child nil - j
Itualiy immune from the disease. This!
1 treatment is administered free by the j
j State Board of Health, through she
(county and city health offices'
I throughout the State, and can be ad-.
I ministered by any physician. Yet the!
application for this treatment are
aiarming'y few*, and the increase in
the number of cases alarmingly
heavy. Last week there were 102
new cases of diptheria reported in
the State, with slightly more than
100 cases for the ween preceeding.
and indiiations are that the number
will increase each week as eold
weather approaches, unless parents;
act at once to immunize their chil
dren.
j The modern method of diptheria
I control consists in the employment
lof the Schick test and the Toxin
antitoxin treatment. The Schick test
reveals whether or not the child is'
already immune or not—about 50 ,
per cent are found already to be ini- 1
mune—and where such is not the j
case, the Toxin-antitoxin treatment i
is used, requiring from three to
five inoculations, deiicnding upon >the
physical condition of the subject.
This treatment effectively immunizes
the subject against contracting dip
theria.
"Records show thnt about eight
per cent of all those who develop
diptheria die especially if they are
from one to five years of age,” said
Dr. O. M. Cooper, acting State
Health Officer, in discussing the
situation. In 1024 diptheria attack
ed 4.005 in North Carolina, ana of
this number 323 died. The percentage
for other yours remains about- the
saffrA' 'fhe State Board of Healtlg'te
dding its utmost to reduce these
figures, but cannot do so unless it
can get parents to co-operate better.
Dr. Cooper said
The number of cases of whooping
cough in the State still remains
high, though there are not ns many
cases now as there were several |
weeks ago, as only 101 cases were
reported from over the State the past
week Indications are that there will
be a marked decrease in this whoop
ing epidemic within a few more
weeks.
Typhoid has dropped down to but
80 cases for the past week, and
smallpox to only five. This is to be
expected, as they are primarily hot
weather diseases, which do not
flourish in cooler weather. On’y 13
cases of scarlet fever were reported
for the week just ended, and but 20
cases of measles. The number of
cases of infantile paralysis have
dropped to almost nothing, with no
new cases having been reported for
nearly a week.
The Board of Health also calls at
tention to the fact that a new serum
for the prevention 6f whooping
cough and the reduction of its
severity has been developed, and this
is administered without charge by
the various health officers, county
and city, over the State.

S WOMAN PORTRAYS
MIAMI HURRICANE
“We Are Alive and That Is All,”
Says Mrs. Skinner. In Letter to Her
Husband.
Burlington, Sept. 22. —Burlington
j got its first report out of Miami, the
devastated Florida city, in a letter
! written by Mrs. H. B. Skinner Sun
| day to her husband, secretary of the
t'haraber of Commerce, immediately
| after the W,est Indian hurricane had
‘ delivered its two assaults and swept
; on.
I "We are aiive and that is all," Mrs.
Skinner said in beginning her letter
to herself and two eliildren. "I lost
everything. Tile roof went off of our
house and I found shelter in a friend's
house nearby.
"Everything is wrecked. The whole
city is paralyzed today. No water
j gas, lights or anything. Food is a
; a premium. Many lives 'aave been
1 lost and the whole eity is crippled
i There isn't a house in the city that
' is not wrecked.
A Night of Terror.
“The papers warned us that a storm
was headed this way on Friday,” Sirs
Skinner wrote, "but no one realized
that it would be a cyclone.”, She
then recited what took plaqt during
the night that to Minmiand, and to
thousands of others along the cos'
cosat, "a night of terror,” as the
mighty breath of nature blew out of
its bed the Ocean and spread it over
the land, and bent on vengeance,
crashed the steel and timbers of great
buildings uud homes and snuffed out
live*, of men, women »udi children,
j “About 10 o'clock Saturday nigh:
| it began and by 1 o'clock it was some
| thing terrible. I '.lad put the chil-
I dreu to bed so I got them up and
| dressed them and got ready to move
out if the house started to go.
| "We stood by the door all night.
| Six o'clock in the morning it began
to get quiet and nt 7 we thought it
was over and Rtarted to clean up
the wreck. Every dish, window glass,
mirrors and furniture smashed; ev
crything soaked.”
Second Attack Worse.
There was a lull in the storm be
tween 7 and 7:30 Sunday morning
and out of pje "night of horror” the
citizens began to emerge, to look upon
the devastation and to hope that none
had perished. Then the wind rose
again and the second nssualt came
with more' force than it had in the
night. It seemed that the gate of
doom had opened wide with the tide
of the ocean roiling up to sweep all in
to its keeping.
“When the roof went off, I grabbed
the children and went out in the
storm to a neighbor’s,” Mrs. Skinner
said. There she was in refuge un
til, with the city sprawled at its feet,
the hurricane rolled on.
Archie Shelton, member of an en
gineering firm at Fort Lauderdale, got
a wire t’iirough to his wife here today
advising her that lie came through the
storm safe but lost, everything he had
Hundreds of dollars worth of instru
ment and tools for engineering and
blue print work “went out with the
storm.” Mr. Shelton advised his wife
that he was coming out of t'ae sec
tion as soon as he could arrange to
do so.
T. R. Cole. Burlington man, who is
engaged in the restaurant usiness in
! Miami, is reported to have lost his
automobile in the storm, and so far
has been unable to find it. That
doesn’t seem strange when it hap
pened that boats floated out of the
bay into the city, trash- cans passed
in t'ae street in flight in opposite
directions, and even a giant steel sky
scraper was stripped to its bare frame
by the wrath of the elementa.
Expects to See Germany Lending
Money to France.
Spartanburg, 8. C., Sept. 21. —
“It wouldn’t surprise me to hear of
Germany offering to lend France
money,” former Governor John Gary
Evans declared today. The former
governor and Mrs. Evans have just
returned from a tour of Europe.
One of the things that impressed
Mr. Evans was the waning of the
long cherished animosity between
France and Germany.
“The Germans do not hold their
hatred long like other people of
Europe,”- said the former governor.
“Everywhere in Europe are German
agents in search of trade that had
been loot by the world war. The
German people seem to have forgot
ten their animosities and are work
ing hard and enthusiastically to re
cover what they have lost.
“If I were a creditor I had rather
have Germany for my debtor than
any other European nation.”
Philadelphia and Paris have con
cluded arrangements for the ex
change of idea - and working data be
tween the Public Works departments
of the two cities.

“PROFIT FOR SERVICE”
i
Dr. Poieat Makes Unique Address to <
the Raleigh Civitans. i
Tribune Bureau i
Sir Walter Hotel
lialeigh. Sept. 22.—" The Sermon on
the Mount is practical on the plain of
daily life: business and religion arc
the markers of our civilization and
l*jp controlling factors in human af
fairs, and it is only the business man
who realize this, who is willing to
go the sec-ond miles and render a real
service, who can hope to really suc
ceed in the biggest sense of the word,”
said Dr. W. It. Poteat. president of
Wake Forest College and nationally
known educator and champion of in
tellectual liberty, in ail address here
before the Civitan Club. He an
nouiiced his subject ns "The Restraint
of Trade.” but not in the generally
understood interpretation of the
p’-irase. ,
“The kind cf restraint in trade we
need today is not the kind which has
sprvice fm profit' as its standard but
rather 'profit for service.’ when the
aim of each is the good of all. Then
the profit of each will be the good of
all,” Dr. Potent told his hearers. "If
we do not get around to this way of
thinking, and forsake the 'bizness iz
bizness’ attitude which some of our
alleged 'bizness men' adopt, then this
will become a world of vultures in
stead of a world of brothers. . Hence
relegion must exert an ennobling re
straint not only on individuals and
classes, but on states and nations,'
Dr. Poteat called attention to the
fact that the aim of the civic? club
was to bring men of different lines <
of business and different professions
into a brotherhood with common in
terests and aspirations, and to pro
duce unity in diversity, which was the
higest kind of fellowship.
"And this can bring about the kind
so restraint of trade which I have in 1
mind, and which is best expressed in 1
the terms of these words, found paint- j
ed on the wall of the oldest Chris- ;
tian church iu Venies: 'Around this 1
temple let the merchants’ law be just,
his weights true and his dealings
guileless.’ This kind of restraint of 1
trade will make a better city, a better '
State and a better nation. Let us !
strive to that end.”
