last night was reported to be 000 feet
wide, with a wave of water 8 to 10
feet deep sweeping through the gap.
Moreauville, in the direct path of
the flood, was rapidly evacuated yes
terday and last night, while adjacent
territory also was being evacuated.
Army engineers estimated Inst night
IS hours after the break occurred
that 100 square miles had been in
undated.
A naval avitor flying low over the
country behind the break said the
waters would reach Melville within 80
hours, but by that time few people
will remain in the territory as they
were moving to higher ground all yes
terday and last night. The aviator
said the water was moving swiftly
southward.

LOANS MADE TO 45
WORLD WAR VETERANS
Have Been Approved by the Advisory
Board of the Loan Fund.
The Tribune Bureau
Sir Wnlter Hotel
Raleigh, May 14.—Loans to 45
World War veterans, totalling slll,-
750, have been approved by the advis
ory board of the World War veterans
loan fund, it was announced today by
John Hall Manning, commissioner, fol
lowing a meeting of the board. In
addition, 82 other applications have
been received, asking loans aggregat
ing approximately SBOO,OOO, which
await action by the board to be of
ficially granted.
Colonel Manning, as well as the
membeis of the board, are much pleas
ed at both the number and 'quality of
the applications which are being re
ceived, and are becoming more and
more convinced that the $2,000,000
loan fund set up by the state is serv
ing a real purpose.
One of the notable thiugs about the
applications so far is that the major
ity of them are for less than the
mnximum amount —$3,000 —and that
a number of them are for a shorter
l>eriod of time than the twenty years
allowed. The average amount of the
45 loans already granted ! s $2,480, ac
cording to Colonel 51a 'ng.
“I am thoroughly <
the loan fuud is going
beneficial,” said W. H
v tary of state and a r
loan board. “I liave
surprised and gratified
applications we are re
the high' grade of secur
ed.
Frank D. Grist, eo (Oner or
labor and printing, also member of
the board, is even more enthusiastic
over the manner In which the loan
fund is working out and the character
of the applications for loans. He pre
dicts that within two years the en
tire $2,000,000 will have been taken
up.

IA STUDY OF CHILD ,
| WELFARE AMONG NEGROES
I Will Be Made Possible Through the
Generosity of Julius Rosenwald.
Tribune Rurcnu
Sir Walter Hotel.
Raleigh, May 14. —A study of child
welfare among negroes in North Caro
lina will be made posable through the
genorosit.v of Mr. Julius KosewaM, of
Chicago, provided that his gift of $5,-
<*oo may lie matched by a similar
amount within the State. Mr. Hosen
wnld has been interested in the work
which the State Board of Charities
and Public Welfare has been doing
among* negroes, and Uns offered this
sum ttWbe used in making a study
among negro children. An effort is
being made by Mrs. Kale Burr John
son, commissioner of public welfare,
to raise aq additional $5,000, so that
this work may be carried out.
The prjiose of the study wil be to
find out what becomes of defective,
dependent and delinquent negro chil
dren in North Carolina. Some of
these children are being eared for in
various institutions. But since the
combined capacity of the Oxford Color
ed Orphanage, the Morrison Training
School, the Etimid School, and the
Negro ward at the State Orthopedic
Hospital is less than 500, the study
will make it possible to determin where
the other dependent, neglected and de
fective negro children are and how
they are being absorbed into the popu
lation of the State.
The study Wijl be carried on in Var
ious sections j of the State such as
industrial centers, rural districts,
places where migratory negroes are
becoming quite a problem. It will
include housing conditions, the physi
cal and mental conditions of the child,
his neighborhood environment. It will
show how the laws on our statute
hooks for the protection of all children
apply to children. It will, in
short, present as complete a picture
of the dependent delinquent and de
fective negro child ns it is possible
to get.
Through uccurate information con
cerning the idividual child, it will
show where the State and the com
munity are evading responsibility and
will suggest more effective methods «f
treatment. By showing how much it
costs society not to provide adequately
for the dependent, the delinquent, and
the defective, it will help existing in
stitutions to .gain normal capacity,
„, ( .i to funcion more successfully, 'it
wm provide authoritative information
for agencies and individuals interested
in better race relations.
An appeal is being made at once to
attempt to raise $5,000 in order to
begin the study as soon as possible.
Already the officials of the North
(‘arolina Mutual I3fe Insurance Com
pany have promised not less than
$5,000 and the North Carolina Federa
tion of Women's Club has pledged

THE NEW MOTOR
VEHICLE LAWS
Go Into Effect .July 11th.—People
Should Familiarize Themselves With
Them.
. The Tribune Bureau
Sir Walter Hotel
Raleigh. May 14.—Although the
new motor vehicle laws do not got into
effect until July 11th people should
begin familiarizing themselves with
them before that time, otherwise they
arc likely to have some trouble after
the laws become effective, according
to Sprague Silver, chief of the au
tomobile license bureau, and 11. A.
I>aughton. commissioner of revenue.
A booklet summariziizg the new
motor vehicle laws, as well as the
various changes in the registration
and highway laws, is now being pre
pared for distribution, which will as
sist in informing the public generally,
but there is still need for much in
formation on the subject.
Attention of automobile drivers is
especially called to the fact that while
on July Ist the speed limit on the
highways will be increased to 45 miles
an hour, that the legislature has also
materially increased the penalty for
reckless driving.
Among the new provisions regarding
reckless driving are the following:
Sentence cannot be suspended by
the court, as heretofore, making it
mandatory that ail sentences be served
or fines paid as imposed by the law.
Penalty for first offense is a tine
of from $25 to $1(X). or from five to
ninety days in jail, or both, depending
upon the seriousness of the offense and
the discertion of the court.
A minimum tine of SSO with a max
inuini of SI,OOO is the penalty im
posed on all second offenders or "re
peaters." or a jail sentence of not less
xts limp ejoui jo siup uaj unqj
months, or both, depending on the
discretion of the judge.
A further check against reckless
driving is in the statute that permits
a judge or the State license bureau
to revoke licenses entirely in cases
.of reckless driving. And by means
of another new provision, the motor
lic/nse bureau yill be enabled t<j keep
an Hoou'rafc cheek of ifrMdfisniw ifwisf
license holders who nre involved. ’
STRANGE BEAST AWES
MAIXE LAKE PEOPLE
“Varmint” Casts Water High and Is
Blamed by Some for Poor Fishing.
I.ubee, Me.—May 14. —Cottages at
Indinif Lake. Whiting, have been mueh
interested in the appearance of some
sort of a large fish or animal, which
has been seen by several, ns it dashed
up and down the shores, throwing the
water high in the air and causing a
general commotion.
'These goings-on were first, seen by-
Fred Hall. who. with rare presence of
mind, immediately called a notary
public, in the prson of H. E. Saunders,
to verify his convictions that there
were "queer works" in the lake.
They were rewarded for their close
watch by seeing a creature reappear'
in a smother of foam on the west side
of the lake. Others were called to
substantiate the occurrence, and some
think that the "varmint" is the cause
of the poor fishing in this popular
body of water.
There has always been a legend of a
queer animal or fish in Gnrmle's Lake,
first manifestation of such a tiling in
Indian Lake. The chances nre that
bathers will stay to the shore
this summer, and that skiffs will be
preferred to canoes by the cottagers
and their guests.

equally bad conditions existed beyond
m : d-oeean eaused Clarence Chamber
lain -and Lloyd Bertaud to postpone
their flight set for early today. Mean
while Commander Richard E. Byrd
seemed to be rushing his plans for a
hop off. Capt. Chas. Lindbergh, of
St. Louis, is awaiting better weather.
Byrd witli a bandaged arm carried
since his monoplane America crashed
a month ago. had not been expected
to hop off for several days at least.
He made arrangements, however, for
the sling to be removed from his arm
today. Bert Acosta, it is generally
believed, will be the pilot.
These developments, with a weather
bureau prediction that, a change in
weather should not be expected over
the week-end, led to the opinion that
Byrd might catch up with the two
, other flyers.
.There w» s a - feeling that Lindbergh
might do the unexpected. He has
stated that he will hop off the minute
the weather.clears up.
Fair tonight and Sunday, not much
change in temperature.
