SHIELD
EXPERT HERE

E. J. Meinhardi, the we'll known
expert from Chicago, will personally
be at the Buchanan Hotel, Little Falls,
Mimi, on Friday only, July 31st.
Mr.. Meinhardi says "The Vacuum
Rupture Shield'' will\ not only
hold the Rupture perfectly, but will
contract the opening in ten days on
the average case-usually giving in
Simultaneous relief withstanding all
strain regardless of the size and To-
cation of the Rupture.
WARNING: Every ruptured per-
son should be cautioned against
wearing trusses with understands.
These trusses usually place the pad
on the lump and not on the rupture
opening. This often causes strang-
ulation which usually necessitates an
immediate surgical operation or re-
suits in sudden death. Therefore, do
not expose yourself to the danger of
wearing old-style trusses with under
straps. "The Vacuum Rupture Shield"
has no understands, no straps around
the body or legs. It is also perfectly
sanitary and practically indestruct-
ible, and should be worn while bath
ing. Mr.. Meinhardi will be pleased
to demonstrate "The Vacuum Rup-
ture Shield" to all gentlemen who
call at this Hotel from 10 A. M. to 4
P. M. Only gentlemen are invited to
call on the above date as a special
visit will be made here at later date
for women and children.
Notice: Do not write asking to be
fitted by mail as this is impossible.
Every case must be seen personally.
If interested you must. call at this
hotel on the above date. Business de-
mands prevent stopping at any other
city in this section. Home office: 1896

GREECE MUST
PAY BULGARIA
Invasion Unwarranted
League of Nations
Committee Says
(By The Associated Press.) J

GENEVA, Switzerland, Dec. H.
Greece violated the Bulgarian frontier
in the recent incident between the two
nations and must pay reparations Of
$30,000,0O0 leva (about $2l0,000), the
league of nations council today decided.
The council adopted report by Sir
Austen Chamberlain Of Great Britain,
NJ. Hymans of Belgium and Viscount
Ishii of Japan. This report found
Greece's invasion Of Bulgaria unjusti-
fable, maintaining 1.-THE broad principle
that where territory is violated without
sufficient cause, reparation is due, even
If at the time Of the occurrence it was
believed by the party committing the
violation that circumstances justified
the action"
The report thus rejected Greece's
reference to the Corfu incident, Tin
which Italy temporarily took posses
sion Of that island) on the ground that
it was "justfiable aggression"
The council also adopted a proposal
by Sir Austen that two Swedish of
ficers act as arbitrators Of border dis
putes between Greece and Bulgaria.

three near Batavia Sunday night re-
mains unsolved, as guns and knives
Sunday brought death to four including
one policeman.
With an abandoned automobile. which
was expected to yield finger prints the
most promising clue authorities of
neighboring counties were undecided
whether the Staying Of Henry Jeske,
bank clerk, his wife, Eva, and their six

Jeske's automobile, covered with
blood, was found five miles from Ine
family's farm house several hours after
the bodies of Jeske and his son were
discovered in the yard and Mrs. Jeske
in the living room.
Supporting the theory that a burg

family, was a broken window latch. a
bullet hole in the front door frame and

of value was missing, however, leading
to the theory that an enemy slew the

Defense Department
Urged IN Air Report
of House Committee

ellis chief counsel and member of
the committee, filed with the report
supplementary brief urging establish
ment of a department of air until ma
tional defense department could be
created.
Administration Backward
Mr.. Reid suggested, as did the pres
ilent's board, that aviation secretary
ship be created in the war, navy and
commerce departments, but the con-
gressman believed those posts would be
established as details Of the commit
tees plans for a defense department.
While the presidents board called for
expansion Of military and naval avia-
tion, the house committee declared the
two services "are and have been very
conservative, if not backward, in recog-
nizing the great Importance of air
power. The committee found, "as q
fact" that shortage Of flying personnel
and equipment in the service has caus-
ed ian alarming situation" due to lack
of appreciation of the Importance of
air power.
Both reports agreed that aviation
should be specifically represented on
the army general staff and the navy
general board; that government compe-
tition with commercial aircraft manu-
facture be eliminated; that government
assistance be rendered to commercial
aviation, and that pay and promotion
problems in the air services be smooth
ed out.

The committee asserted that army
and navy expenditures Of $30,O0,O0O

equipment and morale as having de.

declared, and lit is one Of the most es-
sential arms Of our military defense.

Frances Financial Con-

To Near Panic
(By The Associated Press }

PARIS, Dec. 14.-The pound sterling
reached a high record the Official Bourse
opening today, at 134.10 francs. The
dollar was quoted at 27.63 francs. This,
however, was not record, as the mark
of 28.13 francs was established in
March 1924. Thus Frances financial
plight daily grows worse, and the pub
lie is beginning to show signs Of some
thing like a panic.
In the viewpoint of some observers
signs are multiplying that the political
system is falling more and more into
discredit. These signs, however, they
aver, are lost on parliament, which con-
tinues the slow and even tenor Of its
way oblivious to the movements for the
sacred union" committees of financial
public safety and the like, which are
more and more drawing the attention
of the general public, impatient and
alarmed at the continued postponement
Of a solution Of the financial crisis. Ev-
cry Frenchman who is in possession OF
any quantity of francs is hurrying to
convert the money into something tan
gible-houses, diamonds, and even raw
gold and platinum.
Minister of Finance Loucheur's seven
bills, with which he hopes to bridge the
the financial situation, seemingly are
ulsliked by everybody, irrespective of po-
litical creed. This dislike is beginning tC
find outward expression. AS an instance
