the community, while he is not in the
lest of health, has been hustling to
ret his corn out and expects to finish

1,000 Known Dead.
Camaguey, Cuba. More than 1,
000 persons were known to have been
killed, police said, by the heavy
storm which swept over southern
Cuba. The entire province of Cama
guey lay in waste Thursday night
and the town of Santa Cruz Sur on
the south coast of Camaguey prov
ince was literally annihilated.
Police described the disaster as
the greatest in Cuban history. Hun
dreds of injured were being cared
for in improvised hospitals and as
trains came in from the province
bearing the injured, it was estimated
the total death toil might reach
1.S00.
Three trainloads of injured reach
ed Camaguey from Santa Cruz Del
Sur. A dozen doctors and medical
supplies were dispatched to the
stricken town.
Mayor Umberto Rodriguez, of
Camaguey, told the Associated pres3
his information from Santa Cruz was
that 1,500 wero dead and that only
300 persons in the town escaped un
scathed. The mayor said a twenty
foot wall of water was driven five
leagues inland by tho terrific wind
and that not a single house was
standing in Santa Cruz.
One survivor brought in by train
said many persons were washed into
tho sea. Various estimates of the
number killed were given by sur
vivors. They varied from 300 to
more than 1,000.
Many tales of horror were related.
Lying on their beds in hospital.
their faces blank with horror, moth
ers and fathers were unabla to tell
how they hda escaped the vaves and
the wind which swept over three
story hcuces a3 tho they were
matches.
Carpenter Tells Horrors.
Depuy Aguilera, a carpenter, re
lated the following story: "I do not
knew how I escaped. When the wind
started to blow at 2 a. m., Wednes
day I instantly aweke and left the
house ordering my wifo and five chil
dren to stay close by while I sought
means of escape. I thought I could
get back at 5:30 a. m., but great
waves Bwept me Inward. My chil
dren saw a great timber fall and in
stantly kill their mother but they
miraculously escaped when the waves
lifted the upper story of the house
into the branches of small trees.
"I personally pulled forty from
tho water and helped to bury one
hundred and fifty."
The carpenter said that 3,000 per
sons were living in Santa Cruz when
the disaster hit and at least 500 fled
before the storm. He said that no
more than 1,000 could have been
saved and he estimated the dead at
1,800.
Other survivors brought Btories of
three suicides when loved ones per
ished. The wife of Lieut. Jose Liano,
formerly military supervisor at Santa
Cruz, shot herself in the head when
her small baby was blown from her
arms. Tingo San Pelayo killed him
self when his mother was drowned.
Only one member of tho San Pelayo
family was saved. She was Geogina
and she owes her life to her fiance
who carried her out of the house.

New York. The railroads of the
country will shortly petition the In
terstate Commerce commission to
continue the "emergency" 10 per
cent increase in freight rates author
ized by the commission last year. The
roa.'la decided to take this step at the
annual session of the Association of
Railway Executives here.
It was also made known that Al
fred P. Thom, general counsel of the
association, would appear Eoon be
fore the senate foreign relations com
mittee in Washington to outline the
railroads' attitude toward the St.
Lawrence river seaway project. It
wa3 generally inferred that he would
enter a vigorous protest against the
project as inimical to the Interests
of tho railroads.
At the formal election of officers
all were named to succeed themselves
except A. D. McDonald, president of
the Southern Pacific, who was suc
ceeded as a mcniSer of the executive
committee by Paul Shoup, vice chair
man, of the same system. Mr. Mc

Old Royal Park
Becomes a City
for Worldess
Viennese War Veterans Find Way
to Self-Help in Crisis by De
veloping Their Own City
Philadelphia. The quick change
of part of a royal park into a gar-
en city for the unemployed of Vienna
is described in a report issued by the
American Friends Service Commit
tee, on tho occasion of a notable
show of garden produce arranged to
celebrate the tenth annoversary of
its foundation.
Twelve years ago the site of the
"City" wa3 merely part of the 50
square miles or so of wooded hills of
the old Austrian Emperors' hunting
park tho "Lainzer Tiergarten."
It was at the critical time of Aus
tria's economic collapse that some
of Vienna's citizens determined to do
what they could to help themselves.
They were discharged soldiers, par
tially disabled in the war. They ask
ed the government to grant them a
small corner of the park. The gov
ernment did not at first see its way
to doing so, but tho soldiers per
sisted and finally determined to take
action. They repaired to vthe park
with a wagon load of tools, and squat
ted on the ground.
The government, becoming con
vinced of the soundness of their
scheme, finally granted them a title
to the land and the completion of
the first few houses was celebrated
by the erection of a modest monu
ment adorned with the settlers' sign
of spade and draftsman triangle and
bearing the inscription "The City
of Peace."

Scene of Farce
Comedy in Show
Hilarious 45-Minute Act Collaborated
by Bennett and Cook for Second
Section Lesion Minstrel
The lobby of a Gotham hotel not
unlike the Amos and Andy hostelry of
radio;fame will be the scene of the
second or "oleo" section of the Leg
ion's "Minstrels of !1932" to be pre
sented on the stage at the Legion's
community building next Thursday
and Friday nights, Nov. 17 and 18.

Whata Nite!"
Wayne Bennett, one of the co-authors
and directors of the show, is cast
in the role of landlord, while Ray
mond Cook plays the part of Prof.

role of the landlord's none-too-meek
wife, also contributes much to the
fun.

something "stronger than water,"
Millie Bulin, a musician guest of the
hotel, Anna Mae Sandin, the blonde
theatrical girl, Elmer Webb, the cor
pulant traveling salesman, and Dr. O.
Sandin, fire chief, comprise other
members of the cast who contribute
to the hilarity.
One of the big features of the act
is the appearance of Claud Smith, a
member of the great army of unem
ployed, who drops In to "warm his
shins" and incidently unfolds a hard
luck tale to the audience that would
be hard to duplicate, even in the fan
tastical Algiers tales of a decade ago.
This calls for the appearance of the
"Four Sob Sisters," who will convulse
the audience with laughter and pave
the way for the startling climax of
the act. now being rehearsed In
secret.
The plot of this farce, as well as
the comedy sections of the minstre
were written by Messrs Bennett and
Cook, who are directing the show
billed as "the greatest minstrel pro
duced in Plattsmouth in many years.'
Tickets are now on sale. In the hands
of Legi6nnairesBand' members of the
cast, and seat reservations may be se
cured at Mauzy's Drug Store begin

Manual of DAR
Inspires Better
Citizenship
Mrs. E. H. Wescott, Slate Begent,
Discusses Use of Manual to
Train the Citizen.
"What Is the Manual of the United
States," repeated Mrs. Edgar Hilt
Wescott, of Plattsmouth, state regent
of the Nebraska Daughters of the
American Revolution, when question
ed about the work of the "Manual for
Immigrants" committee of the D. A.
R., which committee is headed in Ne
braska by Mrs. Donald B. Allan, of
Omaha. "Why, the Manual is a valu
able little book which our organiza
tion tries to give to each newly nat
uralized citizen of Nebraska. It is a
book which teaches the Immigrant
HOW to become an American citizen
and WHY he should become an Amer
ican citizen. This is a natural line
cf National Defense. It is published
in eighteen languages. Almost two
thousand of these books were distrib
uted, free, in Nebraska, during the
last year.
"The Manual Is a veritable fund of
information," declared Mrs. Wescott,
"and its use should not be confined
to immigrants. Every person should
own a copy. Their cost is only twenty
cents each, and they are much cheap
er If bought in quantities. Their con
tents will be a revelation to many.
The book contains material for radio
talks and speeches. It makes interest
ing reading for anyone interested in
education for better citizenship. It
answers all questions which arise in
preparing for citizenship, and pre
sents, in very concise ;form, many
thing3 a prospective citizen wishes to
know. It gives a brief history of the
Beginning of the United States, the
Constitution, the History of the Flag
and its Correct Use.
'The (Manual may be obtained free
cf charge by members for free distri
bution, through any approved agency,
to immigrants, foreigners, or pupils
in public or evening schools; for text
book use In schools and Americaniza
tion classes; for circulation and dis
tribution in public libraries; and for
all purposes connected with the edu
cation of the foreigner in American
citizenship. All D. A. R. chapters pay
a per capita tax of ten cents per mem
ber to the Manual fund."
GARNER DREAMS OF PEACE
Uvalde, Tex. Parboiled squirrel
and quail were on the mind of John
N. Garner, vice president elect, as
he contemplated hunting trips thru
the canyons of tho Nueces and the
Rio Grande before reporting to Wash
ington for the short term of congress
and the inauguration next March.
"I want to go out for a season in
the open," he said. "I love this sec
tion and nothing pleases me more
than to do my own cooking in the
open." He explainedthat no matter
how old the squirrel or quail, if It
was parboiled and then broiled the
meat would be "done to a turn."
"If I live, I Bhall bo sixty-eight
when I complete this vice presiden
tial term," he said as ho paced an As
sociated press correspondent's room
in a hotel here. Then, he talked
about a block of property which
brings him an income of $18,000 an
nually. "I want to com back hero and
livo my life in my own way after I
get thru in Washington," ho said.
"I would not have built that home
at a cost of $20,000 twelve years
ago, with Its pecan trees and all.
if I had Intended staying up in Wash
