TOPEKA. Kan., June 4.— Raging waters of the Kaw river were quickened today by rainfall in the van of a smashing flood which threatens to overwhelm the entire lower river dyke system.
Workmen with teams of horses, shovels, and sandbags strengthened the dykes along “shanty town” here and threw up new breastworks at other low places.
Firemen supervised an evacuation of several hundred persons from their homes near the rver banks. The river was running bank-full five hours before the crest of the flood was expected at nightfaU.
If it carries away the dykes, the inundation will ruin millions of acres of potato and garden land from Topeka on down to Kansas City. City officials closed the vital Melan bridge which connects North and South Topeka when the water rose to the top of the steep banks.
From upriver came word that the flood was past St. Mary’s at midaftemoon. Half a dozen army launches cruised downstream before the flood to warn any river bottom dwellers who had not left their homes. Hundreds have been marooned and rescued. One woman’s body was found floating below
Junction City and about 20 persons are missing.
The stream stUl was crushing he uses, trees, telephone and telegraph poles and backwaters through the lowlands took an ever increasing toll of broken highway and railway transportation avenues.
Reports of high water in the lewer stream led to new apprehension for the thickly populated districts from Lawrence down through the Kansas City, Kan., industrial district.
Chief of Police WUl Johns of Lawrence warned all residents of North Lawrence to vacate their homes. Members of Company H, Kansas national guard, were ordered to the levees.
Johns said he believed the levees would collapse. Several hundred CCC recruits were at work strengthening these dykes.
The water wras more than halfway up the 35-foot, concrete-faced dykes. There was an estimated six-foot head on the crest of the flood and latest reports told of even higher water pouring in.
The Republican and Smoky HiU rivers at Junction City at the head of the Kaw were stiU rising although it had been expected there would be a recession after yesterday's Inundation.
tors, was the degree of finesse achieved by the speech students in their various difficult characterizations. and especiaU.v convincing was the cockney dialect carried on among the members of the cast.
Rumor runs mat ihe play should not b*> missed by students of the campus. From the major roles down to the smallest minor bit, the play is consistent, while Florence B. Hubbard, director of university play productions again comes to the fore to gather her share of the honors Notable Performances
Dorothy Martin and Margaret Barton, as Mrs. Pearce and Mrs. Higgins, perform nobly in their characterizations. Quite unlike the Mrs. Evans of “See Naples and Die.” Dorothy Martin’s new role is taxing in its difficulty. Miss Barton promises to be a treat for the Bovard audience.
In the stellar role, and carrying it off beautifully to boot, is Helen Hougen McCall, the Mrs. de Medici of “See Naples and Die.” and the Swedish maid of '‘Clipped,” southern California oturnament prize-winning one-act. As Liza Doolittle, Mrs. McCall endears herself, to say nothing of a splendid display of versatility in the young actress’ ability.
Pert Maid
Bernice Foulkes is a pert parlor maid of the tj-pical Shaw variety.
Harriet Louise Touton and Elizabeth Needham play weU together as mother and daughter in the Eynsford-Hill family.
Departing widely from the type of character for which he is so well known to S. C. audiences, Maurice Luis does a sincere characterization of his role, while Craig Thomas, who has appeared numerous times on this year’s dramatic bill of fare, performs with equal success.
Bouquets promise to go again to Lynn Nearpass who has been such an outstanding success on the play programs this year. A graduate student. Nearpass has carried major roles In “Hazel Kirke,” and “See Naples and Die,” the other two full-length productions which have been presented.
Righteous Hero
Philip Black, righteous hero of the first production of the year, takes on quite a different character in the new play as snobbish Freddy Eynsford-Hill.
Brainerd Duffield will prove to be at his customary best, while William Poulson and William White are effective as two Bystanders.
Settings and costumes for the play promise to be both sincere and. in some cases, of breath-taking loveliness, since much effort has been expended in making them an intricate part of the production as a whole.
The curtain will rise on the commencement production at 8:15 p.m. Admission, it is stressed, Is free of charge.
Ocean University Will Circle Globe
Spending one week at each of 20 foreign universities and enter-taming such international figures as the Duke of Gloucester, Mussolini. Mahatma Ghandi, 40 students of southern California colleges will sail from Los Angeles on a 10-months floating university tour, aboard the yacht SS Catsiana, in the early part of July.

Dr. Hammond To Conduct Mexican Tour This Summer
Dr. George P. Hammond, professor of history at B.C.. will conduct the University tour through Mexico this summer.
Sailing on the steamer “Chiriqui” July 1, the party will land at the port of Acapulco July 5, and will spend two weeks
visiting points of interest in the ^ that city.
- - • *--------The little Indian village of Taxco
is anoher place the party wiU see
interior of Mexico.
One of the most Interesting places to be visited on the tour will be the archeological region of San Juan Teotihuacan, the site of an ancient Aztec city. There the travelers wUl be able to see the ruined buildings, the pyramids of the sun and moon, and the famous temple of Quetzalcoatl, the Aztec snake god.
Another point of interest that wUl be visited this summer is the city of Cuernavaca, capital of Cortez, with its relics of the period of the Spaniel conquest of Mexico. The palace of Cortez, one of the most beautiful in the New World, with its famous murals by Diego de Rivera, is in the center of Cuernavaca, and will be viewed by Dr. Hammond’s party while in
this summer. Off the beaten track of tourists, this town remains as one of the best-preserved and least-spoiled of aU Indian towns in the country. Situated on a hillside, Taxco is dominated by a beautiful church of the Colonial period, buUt by Jose de la Barda as an offering of thanks after his discovery of the great silver mines of central Mexico.
Dr. Hammond will be in personal charge of the tour during its entire stay in Mexico, and wUl give lectures to explain everything the party will see on their trip. Anyone who wishes further information about the cruise may obtain it by seeing Dr. Hammond in the history office in the Administration building.
