The Russian troops were reported still in possession of Manchurian territory which they invaded November 20 dur- ing armed dispute between Manchuria and Russia over operation of the Chi- nese Eastern Railway. Fleeing before the Russian troops, the Chinese army evacuated the di trict then and China agreed to nego- tiate with Russia for peaceable settle- ment of the railw.y controversy. Japanese Are Reported Slain. The dispatch reporting the continu- ance of hostilities by the Russians was sent by a Rengo news agency cor- Tespondent from a train bearing con- sular officials_of Japan, the United States, Great Britain, France and Ger- many toward the Russian-occupied region west of the Khingan Mountains. The foreign officials, desiring to learn the fate of their Nationals in the fight- ing area, were informed by Chinese | authorities at- Buchatu that they could not guarantee the safety of those aboard the train if they proceeded beyond Mientuho. ‘The consular representatives’ train moved on to Mientuho, where Russian consent_was to be asked to go on to Manchuli at the border of Manchuria and Siberia. Several Japanese were reported killed at Manchuli in the Soviet bombing and destruction of a Japanese hotel November 20, but this could not be verified. LUI IS OUSTED BY MUKD! President of Chinese Eastern Railway Is Dismissed From Post. KHABAROVSK, Siberia, U. S. S. R., December 14 (P).—Tsai Yunsheng, for- eign commissioner of the Mukden gov- ernment, today handed to a Russian official a declaration dismissing Pres! dent Lui of the board of directors of'| the Chinese Eastern Railway and ap- pointing a_temporary president. ‘This fulfills one of the stipuiations of the protocol signed at Nikolsk-Ussuri- isky in return for which the Soviet gov- ernment promised to replace Emshanov and Eismont as manager and assistant manager of the railway. Rudyi and Denisov have been named to those posts, respectively. The railway has been administered Jjointly by Nationals of both countries under the treaty of 1924, but the Chi- nese had charged the chief Russian offi- clals with using their offices to further Communist propaganda and the Soviet government had similarly objected to the chief Chinese officials of the road.

BALTIMORE, December 14.— Mrs, Elsie Weigold, widow of a Connecticut motorist, whose death in a crash on the Washington Boulevard last August started a_widespread investigation into intercity bus operations, yesterday sued the People’s Transit Co., Inc, for $60,000, She charges that “negligent and feckless” operation of one of the com- any’s machines caused the death of er husband, Herman Weigold.

To tell motorists whether they are on the road or are headed for a ditch, a device called the “roadmeter” has been invented in England.

Pért of Fund Raised From Sale of Seals Will Be Used in Work. A new_offensive in Washington's winning fight against tuberculosis is planned for the coming year with a part of the funds raised from the sale of Christmas seals now in progress by the local Association for the Prevention of Tuberculosis. The success of the new movement, supporters say, is_forecast by the results achieved in the past eight months by the newly-organized chil- dren’s tuberculosis clinic of the health department. The clinic is staffed and financed by the association, under medical direction of Dr. Viola Russell Anderson, education department of the association. In this connection it was announced yesterday that 1.900,000 seals had been disposed of toward the goal of 4,000,000 necessary to finance the anti-tubercu- | losis campaign for another year. 1,800 Visits Made. Dr. Anderson, whose offices are at the Social Service Home, 1022 Eleventi | reet, said yesterday that XBKID visits were made by the staff of the'children’s clinic in the last eight montns, and that 500 childhood contact cases of tuberculosis not previously suspected were examined. “These are called ‘contact cases,’ " Dr. Anderson said “because they are elther living in close contact with a tubercu- lous child having the disease in a com- municable form or because there is in the home some other person having tuberculosis in a ‘catching’ form. One of the first steps in our work is to have these contact cases examined. Half of the children who, upon this examina- tion in the past few months. have been found to have a tuberculosis infection have been brought into the clinic by our_workers.” Dr. Anderson explained her workers have access to the families of the chil- dren sent to the health camp conducted by the association during the Summer and that various other families are re- ferred to the clinic by the general clinic of the health department and by other social agencies as well as by the Tuber- culosis Hospital. Examination Need Stressed. “Ths initial visit of one of our workers to one of these families re- veals not only contact cases but starts the educational program for that fam- ily. Need for an immediate physical examination for all contact cases is stressed and also the necessity there- after for adequate and continuous medical supervision. If there is an open case of pulmonary tuberculgsis living in or visiting the home of the family under consideration, a plan is made which will help to protect the children in that home from exposure. In later visits proper health habits are stressed, With emphasis on rest, sleep and diet. The health regime of these children CRIME T0 BE TOPIC ATBUSINESS FEAST Leaders in Public Service to!

MONTGOMERY, Ala., December 14 —Gov. Bibb Graves today suspended W. C. Daniels, farm superintenden, and Lee Wilson, dog warden, both of the Kilby prison staff, in what was seen in official circles as the first move toward revision of methods for recap- tuting escaped convicts. The governor's order had its incep- tion in the escape and recapture Tues- day of Will Yarbrough and Grover Mit- chell, which was effected with the as- sistance of hounds from the Kilby Prison pack. Accounts published of the recapture sald the convicts were severely bitten by the dogs.

We explain that plenty of rest means more than enough sleep. It means that the child must not become Io\'enired from too much play activity or too much excitement. These essen- tials have been taught in the schools in the past as & part of the weighing and measuring activities. But carrying the health program into the homes of this group of children insures applica- tion of the essentials to the care of the particular child. This means, among other things, also parental education. Families Visited Monthly. “All families where there are known contact cases are visited monthly or oftener by our staff, if the need exists. In the month of November, 521 home visits were thus made and the number of childhood tuberculosis cases we are working with was 503 on December 1. The list is constantly growing.” Dr. Anderson said that “as soon as public funds become available the chil- dren’s clinic will become a part of the District Health Department, where it properly belongs.” She added that until funds are available “we must carry on this methed of attack on childhood tuberculosis, for when we discover the tuberculosis infection at its beginning— or better yet, when we prevent the child from contracting the infection—then we are controlling the disease at its source.” Field Secretary Coming.
