TARTAR CITY
AIR BOMBED
Chinese Bride, on Way
to Ceremony, Is
Only Death

PEKING, April 3.--The Tartar City
(northern section Of Peking) was
bombed this morning BY airplanes Of
the ~ailied forces" Eight bombs
were dropped in an attempt to hit the
headauarters or the Kuominchun, or
national army.
Some houses were damaged. but no
casualties are reported except the
unconfirmed statement that one Of
the bombs killed Chinese girl pro
ceeding through the streets IN 2
bridal chair to her wedding.
One 60 pound bomb fell on the
grounds Of the winter palace, another
into lake in the palace enclosure,
third near the French mission, and q
fourth near the Peitang cathedral,
Just missing the barracks. The air
planes flew lew and rifle fire direct
ed against them from the kuomin-
chun barracks was Intellectual.
Another plane twice bombed the
Kuominchun barracks at Nanyuan,
outside the city, causing panic
among the Chinese residents OF that
town.
Hundreds OF foreigners and tens Of
thousands Of Chinese watched the
raid On the Tartar city. which began
about 1880 a. m. The airplanes
used we're OF large. modern pattern.
They had been fitted with bomb
releasing apparatus, although they
were supplied to the Chinese for
purely commercial purposes.
The "allied- forces opposing the
l Kuominchun, comprise troops Of at
least five provinces-the three Man
churian provinces, Shantung. and
Hupeh. The principal leaders Of the
~allics" are Marshal Chang Tso-Lin,
Manchurian dictator, and Marshal
Wu Pei Flu, who was ousted from
Peking late in 1924 by combination
Of Chang Tso-Lin and Feng fu-
Hsiang. The last named now heads
| the Kuominchun, and Wu and Chang
are arrayed against him. The kuc-
minchun forces were recently defeat
ed near Tientsin and retreated to
Pcking, many continuing on north
ward to Kalgan, where Feng was last
reported TO be staying.

District appropriation bill for the next

The text, il was said, seems to make
il mandatory for the highway depart

The questions worrying these ON
cials are whether the proVlso takes
out of the hands of the District au-
thorities the determination or the
kind of paving that shall be laid and
places il in the hands of contractors,
and whether 1t will result in making
uniform treatment of streets impossl-
hle and substitute a "craSy-qullt'
pattern.

NORTH DAKOTA
HAS TOTAL OF
1876 DOCTORS
Telephone and Automobile
Are Endangering Practice
in Small Towns

Grand Forks, N. D. Jan. G.-(R
North Dakota has now total Of 485
physicians as compared to GOA in 1918
and 23l in 1908, according to figures
given in an article on "1he Number
and Distribution of Physicians in
North Dakota" by Dean II. +. French,
head Of the school Of Medicine at the
University of North Dakota, pub
lshcd in tho last issue Of the Uni
vcrsity Quarterly Journal.
The article by Dean French is said
to be the result Of remarks more
or less directed at tho medical pro-
fcssion, to the effect that many pco-
pic in North Dakota have to 60 30
miles or more in order to receive
medical aid. II gives the number
and distribution of the doctorS OF
the state at the present time and
back as far as 1908 and explains in
some degree the reason for the de-
creased number Of doctors as corp-
pared to seven years ago and the
migration of doctors from the small
towns to the centers Of population.
Doctors Have An Economic Sense
The existence Of l19 less doctors
in the state now than in 1918 is not
due. the article says. to any short
age Of men in the medical profession
but is result Of the promising Eco
nomic condition and outlook IN 1913
as compared to the stringent con-
ditions Of the last few years. Doc
tors have the same economic sense
as other people and will locate where
they have the greatest opportunity
Of making good. Dean French said.
That Of the doctors in the state
larger percentage are locating in
the bigger cities is shown by the
fact that in 1903 Bismarck with a
population of 1913 had six doctors
or one to each ,553 persons. In 1925
it had "a doctors for $3.50 people or
one for each 38l persons. J.
In 1908 Fargo had one doctor for
each Ats persons. In 1925 the pro-
norton was, one for each 1872 persons
In Grand Forks the ratio was one
doctor to 638 persons in 1908. Now
| it is one doctor to Ash persons.
Practice Better In Larger Cities
| Doctors are leaving the small
/, towns for the larger cities be-
cause it has become compare.
! lively harder to maintain pay
ing practice in the small town
Dean French said. The telephone
and the automobile have made i
possible for persons to obtain tn
services of more widely known city
doctors in the same time that, thu
: local doctor formerly reached thei'
homes, and have enabled persons liv
ing in rural districts to take advan
tage of hospital facilities.
The result, the article says. Is tina
the small town practitioner has LEI
only emergency calls and those which
come at time when road condition
Tor weather make travelling difficult
The only way in which doctors cal
do as we'll in small towns as they cal
in the larger cities is to have tn
community pay them bonus o
place them on straight salary basis

Will Establish
Aerial Transport
Route Next Spring

Operation Of an aerial transport
service between Grand Forks and
tho Twin Cities would be inter-
state commerce and would come
under the jurisdiction of the inter-
state commerce commission. the
state railroad board has Informed
E. NJ. Garfield Of Fullerton. N. D.
Garfield. an aviation pilot, askcI
the board for information govern
ing the operations of an aerial
transport line between the cities
named. He intends to start the
service in the spring. he said.
In its reply the state board
pointed out that North Dakota has
no legislation governing aerial
transport other than law giving
jurisdiction to the state railroad
board. Since the proposed service
would be that of an interstate car
rier, however, Garfield was adj
vised to take up the matter with
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion.

INMATES OF
PRISON LEARN
SAVING HABIT
Prisoners Paid 25 Cents Il Day
and Some Have Put Away
Nice Sums

Few prisoners received at the
North Dakota state penitentiary ar
rive with the intention of saving
money hut some OF them learn the
saving habit while there, Warden
John J. Lee said today.
Under the prison rules men who
work are paid 20 cents "a day or about
$500 a month. OF this sum they arc
allowed to spend up to S3 month
for tobacco and other luNuries.
Some Of the prisoners acquire
quite Il mes, egg while doing their
bit and thereby enhance their
chances Of remaining outside the
prison walls permanently, in Lees
opinion, One man now a. the peni-
tertiary has nearly $500 to Ms
credit and will have enough when
he finishes his term TO take care
Of himself until he can get we'll To-
Gated, Lee said. Incidentally. while
they are in prison and cannot spend
the money they have an opportunity
to see for themselves the manner in
which interest accumuiates.
Tobacco Is Furnished
Tobacco is furnished to the pris-
oncrs, Lee said, but the habitual
smokers do not get enough to meet
their desires and many spend most
Of their allowance Of So month IN
augmenting their supply. Others
develop craving for candy and
other sweets.
Some prisoners add to their bank
accounts by making chairs, waste
baskets and other articles which they
sell. The man who makes chairs
does 50 in his spare time. He runs
the oil house at the prison Irvine
mill and putters with the chairs
while the oil is being mixed.
Another uses the bamboo with
which the sisal bales are wrapped
to make the wastebaskets.
One Prisoner An Artist
Jack Abbott, an Ohioan who was
"sent M" from Morton county for
grand larceny,takes keen delight in
painting pictures. He practices on
portraits, using pictures clipped from
magazines. and also does landscape
works, which also is copied from ori-
FINALS since the landscape within
the prisonwalls is limited.

folding table.
Sorlic's patent consists OF insert
ing wooden pegs into an ordinary
brakeband. Bands with pegs in
them give smoother braking action
than other bands and practically
never wear out, Sorlic contends. His
belief is based on 10 months Of cx-
pcriencc with the bands on on auto

Kositzky's table is unique in that
it can be folded into a small case.
The top consists Of heavy. imitation
leather unsupported by boards or
other stiff material and the legs arc
fastened to the remainder Of the
frame by an ingenious wedge device
which holds them firmly in place.
The table, which is three feet square
when assembled, can be packed into
