Chicago, Oct. 4.— UP) —A dozen mid- 1 western towns were turned into New Wotld Venices today as motor boats plied through water covered streets to rescue floodbound residents from tree top* and roofs of houses. Nearly a score of creeks and rivers in Kansas, Oklahoma and Illinois A. were rampaging at flood crest under W the impetus of unreasing rainfall, and thousands of jiersons were forced to shelter as the swirling waters inun dated lowlands. The flood situation at Beardstown, Itl„ became menacing again when the angry waters of the Illinois River pjowed two large boles in a levee which withstood the onslaughts of the stream the past two weeks, gave way last night, and volunteers were un successful in efforts to repair the dam age. River stage at Beardstown today was,23 feet, within two feet of the hig'j mark set in the devastating flood of 11)22. While scores of homes had been flooded, and comdderab'.e damage done, gas, pfiwer, light and water sta tions were in no immediate danger, hnd city officials said no outside aid would be asked unless the situation became more acute. Large supplies of disinfectants and chemicals to com bat disease are available at emergency stations. The main breach in thp levy which . was twelve blocka from the business | area, was thirty feet and being con-j atautly widened by the invading wat-j ers, ominous from a heavy downfall | of rain iaat nig\.t. 'A twenty-foot river stage was looked-! for by Wednesday, with the belief! expressed that this would cause in -aadwtiflH of of the, cityl J' A Slag- would Hkr (J’—wbewnre community under water.

The rain was abating early today. | but reports from Vie Oklahoma-Kan- i sas border indicated that streams were j rising slowly with the crest due to J reach Oklahoma today. Chief damage was to crops and: buildings, as many fnrmers heeded I Saturday's warning and moved their 1 familis and livestock out of the dan ger zone. Scores of villages, how- j ever, were caught unaware, and sought safety in trees and on the roofs of dwellings. Many were homeless in Arkansas City while 1,500 refugees at Batresville, Okla., were quartered in churches, schools and private homes. Two deaths were reported in the lat ter city.

I" 1 '1 FIRE PREVENTION WEEK * Begat) Sunday—Throe-Fourth of Fire ’ Loss Caused by Carelessness. Raleigh, Get. 4. ously with other states in t’.ie Union, ( | “Fire Prevention Week" started in North Carolina Sunday. |i Sponsored by the State insurance ( 1 department, the week of October 3-0 has already been designated in a proc lamation from Governor McLean as a week for the study of methods of fire [ prevention and for the enlightenment . of the eitizenry of the state on how , fires occur and what loss they entail. ’ The campaign will be carried to ve ery corner of the state through local Clubs, literature sent out from the insurance department at Raleigh, the schools nnd the press. Chief among the facts to be pre sented in the one-week educational campaign is that-seventy-five percent, of North Carolina's fire loss in 1025 was caused by carelessness. The total property fire loss was placed at $6,014,014.00 in the state last year. This resulted from fires in 2,418 structures, classified as fol lows : 1430 residences. 30 school hous es, 23 churches, 16 apartment houses. 131 stores, 72 factories, 72 garages, 0 hospitals. This loss was deducted from the I total value of property listed on the j tax books of the state, which is placet! !at approximately $2,751,000,000. Es j timates have it that it would require lat least $10,000,0(H) to replace the ,| property actually destroyed. I . Not so impressive in figures, but 'fu more appalling in human appeal, are’the (lures on deaths from acci | 'twtce^tHfT treat. I All tills loss of life and property I was brought on by twelve causes, of- I ticials of the state insurance depart | ment state. They are : I First—Exposures (fire jumping ! from house to house and roof to roof), j Second—Poor wiring and eareless ! ness with electric irons and other ap * pliances. i Third—Defective flues and ehira- I neys. I Fourth—Carelessness with matches. Fifth—Sparks on shingle and other quick-burning rooms. Sixth—Starting fires with kero sene. Seven—Stoves and furnaces. Eight—Hot ashes and eoals. Ninth—-Spontaneous combustion and blazes starting from accumulations* of trash. Tenth —Rats. Eleventh—Cigar and cigarette buts. Twelfth —Incendiarism. ‘The great waste of energy, for wealth is but stored energy, cannot, in our generation, be entirely elimi nated, but if every citizen in the state will use fire prevention week in an honest "effort to reduce unnecessary fire hazards, a large part of it can be eliminated and a foundation laid to relieve the children of this generation and fhelr children of an economical burden which, if not materially light ened. will within their lifetime prove disastrous,” declares a statement " is sued by the insurance-department con cluding its plea for proper observance of the week.
