CONDITIONS IMPROVING (Continued from page 1) naval aviators and other rescue workers. The flood waters today flowed further southward toward the Ala- bama-Florida boundary, threaten- ing inundation of towns in the lat- ter state, The area in which townspeople have been driven to tue nouse tops and even into trees to save them- selves from drowning, and in which rescue parties in bouis are work- ing frantically, lies in the low country between Montgomery and Mobile through which runs the main line line of the 'Louisville and Nashville railroad. A net- work of rivers, streams and creeks which have overflowed their banks in all directions surround this re- gion. Down fits slopes are pouring the waters of the Escanbia and Cone- chu rivers of Burnt Cork and Mur- der Crees, and of a score of lesser streams. They are flooding scores of towns, villages ana s=miers. Among those in which the flood waters have riser to the most dan- gerous heights are, besides Elba, Brewton, Flomaton, Pollard, Har- rington, Troy, Geneva, Windham's Mill and Castleberry. Nearly ev- ery town in Luverne and Cran- shaw counties is within reach of the flood. Late this afternoon the meagre reports on the rescue work coming from the national guara pase, stat- ed that about 500 persons had been brought to safety from Elba, the majority of them women and child- ren. Attempts by aviators to bring aid to the flood sufferers have been greatly hampered by a heavy fog overhanging the flooded area. Peatrice ter Marvela Ofalloner, a wealthy architect.

She had be- gun as a humble clerk years ago, and had almost immediately been singled out for more responsible work and for the friendship of the pr-sident and his wife, Marcia, breathless and awed and grateful, had dined at their home, at twenty-three or twenty-four, and had brought home accounts of the silver and linen, and the food too, to her mother and Beatrice. Marcia had praised the son of the house, a tall, gawky college boy then, and had spoken often of Bert and Bert'sfather's plans for him. She had hung upon the reports from Mrs, Challoner"s sickroom with passionate intensity that had vaguely shamed Beatrice, even five years ago, Why should Marcia ejaculate "Thank God!" so fer. vently just because Alice Challon- er had had a good night?
