MEETING II HELD REGARDING
COMMUNITY NURSE

On Monday night the Executive
Committee Of the Red Cross met at
the Court House to discuss the prob
lem Of providing for the salary OF
our Community Nurse.
The salary is S125.OO per month
and there are other incidentals which
must be met. AS the funds of the
Red Cross will not suffice for a con-
tinuance OF the work, 1t was decided
to take up the matter OF providing
funds to retain the services of the
nurse who is doing splendid work
over the county as is proved by the
report of her work printed elsewhere
in this issue.
The State of Kentucky will donate
$500 to the work, Judge ]. ID.

said he was sure they will contri-
butte. r. w. Cole, Fred Burman and
Mrs. G. NJ. Richards we're appointed
a committee to interview the City
Council and ask for funds. d. Minton
Mesdames Belcher and Snavely we're
appointed on various committees
and Robert w. Cole was appointed
to write the coal companies and find
out what they will do.
Miss Jump announced the resig-
nation of Mrs. J. R. Tuggle as head
of the nursing committee, on account
of i'll health. In accepting the resig-
nation a vote OF thanks for her SER
vices was unanimously passed by the
committee.
Mrs. G. M. Richards was appointed
to ill the vacancy.
Discussion took place on the pos
sibility of finding two rooms for the
double purpose of providing an Office
for the nurse and a room for q tra-
choma clinic.
This matter was left in the hands
OF the chairman. Prof. ID. M. Hum
feet. who will seek the best location
and report to the Executive Commit
tee.
The meeting left the impression
that the funds will be raised and
that Knox County will continue to
have the valuable services of a
trained nurse who will be at the dis
posal Of citizens who may need her
services.

 MARCH ON MEXICO CITY

Arua Prieta. Sonora, April 27.-Rebel troops are preparing to march on Mexico City from the state of Guerrero, General P. Elias Gales. commander-in-chief Of inc Liberal constitutionalist" army, an nounced here today.
 The revolution in Guerrero, he said, was more serious for the Mexican federal government than the movement in Sina- loa. where troops under General Angel Flores continue to progress toward Mag auan. The revolutionists from Sinaloa and Sonora plan to join with the rebels in Guerrero for the attack on Mexico City.
 Car,ure of Mazatlan by the rebels they expect will easily lead to the subjugation of the remainder of Sinaloa and rapid profress through Nayarit. which is said fo he sympathetic with the Sonora cause. In Jaiisco. the next state south. revolu- tionary forces are said to be making headway, as is reported also the case of Coiina. where the capital city of Colima and the port of Manzanillo are obiectives Of the victorious rebel troops. Michoacan also was reported in revolt against Car ranza. and adjoins Guerrero.
 General Alvaro Obregon was said to he directing the revolutionary movements In Guerrero after having fled recently from the Mexican capital Reports from Ei Paso that force of Carranza troops in Chihuahua City had revolted gave strength to the rebels assertions that Carranza officials. massing troops ir western Chihuahua fo- an attack on So nora were having difficulty in organizing their men for battle.

CHARGE THAT POST BLOCKED
 DEPORTATION OF ALIEN REDS

Washington, April 27.-Illegal actions of Louis F. Post, assistant secretary of the department of labor, resulted in blocking deportation of alien radicals. members of the house declared today be- fore the rules committee.
 ''The responsibility lies at the door of Secretary Wilson for not recommending removal of such a man, if these charges are true" Representative Rodenberg, re- publican, Illinois, a member of the com mittee, declared during the hearing which iQaugurated investigation of MT. Posts official conduct.
 Representative Johnson, republican, Washington, chairman of the house i'm migration committee, presented report by committee investigators on more than
 300 cases in which it was said MT. Post had cancelled or stayed deportations rec l commended by immigration authorities. Counsel for MT Post interrupted to as sert that Commissioner General Caminetti of the immigration bureau was without legal authority to make any recommend ation regarding deportation warrants. Representative Siegel, republican, New York, accused MT. Post of bringing the deportation law into disrepute and mak- ing deportation proceedings a farce and a joke.''
 | Thirty-eight cases were cited by Rep 1 resentative Hook, republican, Kansas, author of the resolution that led to the | investigation, in which MT. Post was al- | legged to have released accused/ /agitators
 without awaiting to review the evidence
 on which the charges were predicated. I With MT. Johnson, Hoch also charged 1 that Mir. Post for a time accepted a de- cision of Secretary Wilson that mere
 membership in the communist party was sufficient ground for deportation, but that
 later Post changed his mind" and did not follow this ruling.

THIS THEORY OF ADVANCED
 SCIENTIST IS INDIsPUTABLE( CD

Washington, April 27.-An entirely new theory of, the structure of matter was presented today at the concluding session of the annual gathering of the National Academy of Sciences by Dr. Irving Langmuir of the General Electric Company research laboratory. Explain ing that his conclusions lead to new magnetism and all the general properties of matter. pr. Langmuir asserted that space and time have a structure analog-' ous to that of matter"
 'The structure of everything that is can be built up out of his conception of the qantel, Dr. Langmuir said. The the ory explains all Of the mysterious rela- tionships heretofore known to exist be- tween spectral lines. he asserted predict ing that it would lead to the discovery of many new relationships.
 His observations also demonstrated a new principle of reversibility, Dr. Lang muir declared, that leads to the deduc- tion that light proceeds in straight lines from atoms. that 1t does not radiate but proceeds from each atom to a fixed ob- jective.
 Dr. Langmuir's theory. other members of the academy admitted. was lover their heads
 An official of the academy in attempt ! ing to explain the nature or pr. Lang muir's work said that he was a 'philo- sopher on the nature of the atom and the inner constitution of bodies, now in the midst of experiments involving the fun | damental general theory of everything in | the universe"
 Much interest was manifested today in Dr. R. H. Goddard's elaboration of his theory concerning the use of multiple charge. high efficiency rockets in explor- | ing the far reaches of the air and its application to weather forecasting.
