made defences against rivers to prevent. if possible, repetition of the terrific damage resulting from the 1936 St. Patrick's Day flood when the water rose to 46 feet and submerged half the $1.000,000.000 ‘triangle’ with its towering office buildings and department stores. ‘(that flood caused approximately $300,000,000 damage and took 58

y lives in the region.

Merchants in low-lying streets enacted wooden flood gates and sandbag barriers and installed water pumps. ,

First advance of the rivers sent their waters over River Avenue on m: north side and at the 29-foot stage they covered tho tip oi’ the "triangle" at Water Street and Lib- erty Avenue. -

While most of the city's business properties would escape serious damage in a 36-foot flood, the high water would paralyze some of the most important industrial plants h this steel centre.

A let-up in a heavy 48-hour rain brought relief to the Jo-hnstown ama. Stony Creek and Conemaugh livers inundated lower Johnstown business street»- with two feet of water and reached their highest level at Union and Lincoln Streets.

~ when that residential section was

under three feet of water. The forecast was "unsettled, colder and light rain" for tonight.

First Flight During Coronation Week

(C. P. by Guardian’: Special Wire)

ST. JOHN'S.»Nfld., April 26- Imperial Airways‘ first experimen- tal transatlantic flight in preps:- ation for a regular air service be- tween Eurcpe and America will probably be made during Coron- ation week, it was learned here to- day.

Secretary Fraser of Postal Tele- graphs said today he had learned all arrangements for the take-off had been completed. Final decision as to whether it would take place during Coronation week depended on weather and ice conditions on this side of the Atlantic. '

At Botwood, 150 miles north-

west from here, a huge air base is nearing completion, and it is there Imperial Airways’ new flying boat will end its experimental flight. If the ice ha" cleared away by May‘ s. the plane will land in Botwood Harbor. I, ' Direction finding facilities have been assembled at Botwood, and arrangements for handling sea- planes in the harbor re being completed. Eventually n arby Gan- dcr‘s Lake, where the flying field now being built is located. will be used for l1and‘ing seaplanes. The lnke is 10 miin inland from Bot- wood.

umbia Government. conclusion of the agreement would probably be reached by legislative ac ion.

Hon. Raoul Dandumn , acting Prime Minister of Canada in the absence of Mr. Macks King. was questioned by long distance telephone at his home in Mont- real, but would not comment on the report. Any statement from the Federal Government. he said, would be made on his return to Ottawa Wednesday morning.

Mrs. George Black, member of Parliament for the Yukon Torri- tory. was advised of Mr. Pattullds announcement and to her it was a complete surprise. She had heard nothing of the move recently, Mrs. Black said.

Administration of the territory has been under the Department of Interior which recently merged into the new Department of Mines and Resources of which Hon. T. A. Crerar is Minister. Mr. Crerar sailed from Quebec Saturday for London. Officials of that depart- ment were not in a position to rconfirm the report but referred ‘ questioners to the Prime Minister's office.

One effect of the change would

Intervention Defers Threatened Strike

NEW YORK, April 26 - (AP)- Presidential intervention today de- forred threatened strike action o! 25,000 railway workers in the New York metropolitan area foramax- lmum of 60 days.

President Roosevelt named an emergency mediation board com- posed of Frank M. Swacker and W. H. Davis. of New York City, and J. I. Shareman, of Washing- ton, to try to reach a settlement of a dispute between railroads and shipping interests and brotherhood employees. He granted the board 30 days in which to reach a set- tlement.

Under the Railway Labor Act. a strike cannot -be declared until 30 days after the board reaches a de- cision.

The President's intervention came during an impasse between the Brotherhood of Railway and Steamship Clerks and the Inter- national Longshoremens Associa- tlon on one side, and the seven railroads in the metropolitan area.

RELAXATION NATURE'S OW RESTORATIVE -

Relaxation can accomplish some- thing which both man, and science have been striving unsuccessfully to achieve throughout the centuries says a writer in New Health Mag- azine. For not only will it rejuven- ate. ‘but it can prolong the life of all the complex tissues of the body It is Nature's ow-n restorative, un- rivalled by any outside neutral in- fluence.

Although numerous factors can be presented to justify its claims. its greatest justification is in the resulLv-in the gradual changing appearance of those who practice it. in the disappearance of tension. and the almost magical smoothing out from the face o’ the aparent- ly deep-set lines of nervous strain. so prevalent in this modern world “with its speed and ceaseless activity.

As to the actual method em- ployed. practical relaxation is all that its name implies, consisting of a series of especially des‘gned movements which when performed in their given order produce a state of relaxation throughout the body.

One of its greatest features is that it requires no elaborate pre- parations. All that is necessary is a few minutes out of the day, a quiet place in which to carry out the technique. and some support- a bed or couch-on which to l‘e. In general a bedroom is usually found the most convenient.
