II Ran off from the work shop for a day, and came back home to be told by reader friends that a substitute editor on the Valley Morning Star had attempted to take some smart crack at us while we were gone about the word "whoops" coming out misspelled and some other rot. That Is about the calibre to be expected from a substitute editor. Wer the Wai editor here we might hav sonijjiing to say about how thing in general are going with the Star Even in campaigns where the people on issues. But even if we were a substitute 'editor we do not believe we would crawl out on an evident misspelled word and then use the word "different" where "differently" should have been used.

We can understand how these errors are mechanical. But we cannot understand why that same edl tor would publish a "story" telling Ixow a doomed man was looking forward to his death twelve hours hence after the man had already been executed the day before, as the Harlingen Valley Morning Star did with reference to Carl Panvran on page two Saturday. The chief asset of that paper seems to be to "get on" somebody, and consequently it Is hard for it to tell when it is" not being noticed. if TlfEOEVER the editor of that II paper happens to be, he seems to think that to write something derogatory toward The Brownsville Herald to be one way of getting along in the world.

Accordingly, all engagements for MOUNTING TOLL OF DEATHS IN STORfS PATH Fear 5,000 Mark Will Be Surpassed In Sto. Domingo By RENE M. LEPERVANCHE Associated Press Staff Writer (Copyright 1930, ar.d all rights reserved by The Associated Press) SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic, 'Sept. 6--()--The smoke of unnumbered funeral pyres hung over the white man's most ancient city In the Americas today as the bodies of the victims of last Monday's hurricane, now estimated at more that 4,000, were consigned to the flames. The estimate of dead, made by Dr.

Antonio Calderon, In charge of the sanitary service, Is admitted to be conservative, and It is feared the final total will be at least 5,000. That Is about one-eighth of the entire population of the city. Five thousand more, many of them, expected to die, are seriously Injured. Property loss is set at from $40,000,000 to $50,000,000. Horror Increases Hour by hour the horror grows as refugees continue to drift in from outlying towns, bringing with them tales of new destruction and death, and additional bodies are found in the city's streets as the workers clear away the debris.

Along the muddy streets and on the basks of the river Ozama the dead yet lie In piles, a menace to the health of those who escaped the hurricane. All available houses churches, and hospitals, are filled with the wounded, 400 being billeted in San Rafael hospital alone. An unestimated number of women and newborn children were killed In the maternity hospital. The build- Ing was roofed with zinc, sheets of which were ripped away by the 160-mile-an-hour wind and carried through the air, mowing down like a giant scythe those who crossed their path. Fifty bodies in the hospital wre decapitated.
