In Britain, sleet and snow whipped by gale,-force winds hit most of the country. Blizzards

Dublin experienced its worst storm and gale in living memory. A tributary of the Talks rive: overfiowed. flooding many houses.

Scores of ships sought safety in harbors all around Britain. The liner Queen Elizabeth was unahlc In sail fr.om Southampton because of the heavy seas.

ACCIDENTS REPORTED in many areas that were just

drying out after two weeks of floods. the new storms caused swollen rivers to burst their

banks anew.

Several shipping accidents were reported. The Swedish steamer Helmdal sent out distress signals off the Irish east coast saying she was in danger of runningaground. Ships searched north of Dublin for the British motor vessel Saint

Eunan after she signalled her engines had broken down. On the continent, the storms

kept French fishing boats in port on the Atlantic coast and stopped is search for five trawiers missing from Concarneau port for two weeks.

Dr. Paoluccl said that only in case it is hernia would he agree to an operation--"because it her- nia operation is I very minor and local affair."

Five Killed In N. S. Coal Mine

SPRINGHILL. N.s. (GP) .. A violent uphesvsi of the mine's floor brought tons of rock crashing down at the 11,800-foot level of the No. if pit hers early Wednesday, claim- ing the lives of five coal miners.

It was the worst disaster of the year in Nova Scotla's mines and the second for the coiilery here operated by Cumberland Railway and Coal Company.

The upheaval-known to miners as s "bump" - trapped the five men as they examined a section of the mine to determine its safety. other men earlier had reported it "bumpy."

Four of the men were dead when found under the twisted. tangled piles of rock and mine p.ops. The ilfth died ss he was can-io.i to the surface.
