SHANGHAI TO HAVE
 A MEDICAL SCHOOL

SHANGHAI, May 29. - Plans are being made by the mission and educa- tional bodies of East China to estao- fish q Union Medical School in Shang- bai at a cost of $5OO,O0O within the next few years.
 For more than a quarter or cen turv St. Johns University has had a medical department, and it's gradu- ates are among the leading medical mon of China. In the past Harvard | and Pnnnsylyania universities cooper ated with St. Johns University. Al the time the Picking Union Medlcal | College was built by the Rockefeller Foundation, an invitation was extend ed to the Foundation, to found a medical school in Shanghai, and this invitation was accepted.
 By reason of this the Harvard School in China closed it's doors leaving the Pennsylvania-S Johns school the only one in Shanghai. Shortly after the Rockefeller Foundation announced its decision to abandon the plan for the Medical School in Shanghai
 Because of this a campaign is being launched by the leaders of the Nan king University, the SoochoW Univer sity, Hangchow Christian College and St JOhn's University to raise funds for half-million-dollar medical college in Shanghai. Various denomi nations in America will be asked tC support the movement.

LAST OF SWISS BELL
 RINGERS PASSES OUT

PINCKEYVILLE, H., May 29.-The last of the famous Swiss Bell Ring CTS, first exhibited in this country by Phineas T. Barnum, is dead.
 Martin Freeberthyer, eighty nine, for many years sole survivor of the troupe which entertained the late President Martin Van Buren during his retirement, succumbed to the in firmities of old age. Burial was in Valhalla Cemetery, St. Louis
 The original Swiss Bell Ringers were Conrad Freeberthyser, four cons and four others. At the age of nine teen, Freeberthyser, Swiss, entered the army of Hesse-Cassel, then under the protectorate of Elector Frederick William II, and he so entertained the FIector that he came known as the Great Musician" and was given a gold cross with an inscription express ing the rulers esteem.
 The Freeberthyser family, the fath- CT, mother, six sons and five daugh- ters. came to the United States in 184S, and their company was soon or ganized under the management of P. T. Barnum.

''SIX BOB IN POUND"
 TAX STIRS BRITAIN

LONDON, May 29-"Six bob in the pound"
 That is the answer to political un- rest in Great Britain.
 "Six bob in the pound" a phrase which has almost achieved the status of an epithet with the average Eng lishman means that every British subject is taxed on a basis whereby he pays six shillings to the govern ment in taxes for every twenty shil- lings he makes in income.
 Whether Lloyd George resigns or not, whether a new national party is formed or whether there be a new government formed by the old parties, it is virtually certain that future life for British statesmen is going to be unpleasant as long as British subjects can continue to storm about their taxation of "six bob in the pound"
 Britishers are surfeited with taxa tion. There is little or no prospect of relief in sight for them. There have been promises of reductions of taxes, but while the war debts are heavy there seems little prospect of a lessening of the tax burden. The Washington conference will mean reduction of approximately 100000 pounds a year in British expenditures, and the Geddes Economy Committee recommendations promised even great CT reductions, but neither of these ten tative reductions have brought def mite promises of reductions in taxa tion.
 The workingman in England pro tests against the tax upon his beer and his tobacco. The middle class business man protests against the il- come tax, and the wealthy man lit orally howls with rage every time the subject of taxation is mentioned Everyone wants government that can reduce taxes. There is no states man who feels capable of making any rash promises in this direction. Hence it seems certain that for some time to come the path of the British politi- clan is to be a thorny one.
 When "six bob in the pound' is no longer a British epithet, then there may come a period when politics in Great Britain will not be in constant turmoil.

FIGHTING AIRCRAFT
 TO SEEK NEW RECORDS

DETROIT, Mich, May 29. - An nouncement that the fighting aircraft of the Atlantic would be brought to Detroit during the early part of Sep tember to participate in the Pulitzer air races and that pilots of these ma chimes would seek to establish new all titude and endurance records, was made here recently by Rear Admiral William A. Moffett, chief of the Blu reau Aerial Navigation of the United States Navy:
 The admiral predicted that within the next year safe, dependable air planes would be crossing the Allan tic on regular passenger and freight schedules and that the aircraft in- dustry would rival that fo the automo- bile industry within a comparatively short time. He predicted this city would become the center of the aero nautical field.
 Discussing the part that aircraft will play in any future war the ad- niral said:
 Aircraft was the only arm of de- fense that the recent disarmament conference failed to restrict and in the next war destruction or victory will be matter of but a few hours. Great fleets of airplanes will drop 4,OOO pound bombs. Fleets of these air monsters will descend upon cities in the next war, carrying greater loads for greater distances than was the case during the World War"
 "The airplane is not to be developed merely as an engine of destruction however" the naval officer declared sThe commercial usefulness Of the airplane cannot be over emphasized The war airships, great carriers with speed of from 35 to 40 knots an hour will he able to launch smaller planes from their decks by means of cata Dult that will cast the small ships ntC the air at the rate of 50 miles an hour The same catapult well may be used for commercial purposes. A fast i transatlantic airship could cast from it's decks an airplane loaded with maj within a distance of a European poi' that the smaller machine could make in safety, thus saving full day in mai operation"
