BIRTH RECORDS NEEDED
TO INSURE SCHOOL ENTRY
Rule in Force February l Applied
to Pupils Of Kindergarten and
First Grade Departments.

Birth record cards will be required
Of all kindergarten and first grade
pupils enrolled in the public schools
beginning February /, it was an
nounced today by DIR. Frank w.
Ballou, superintendent. These cards
will not be made out for pupils enter
ing higher grades at this time.
1t is explained that the need for the
cards has arisen from time to time
when it became important to ascertain
the exact age of school pupil and
it is hoped through this method even
tually to have accurate information
along this line in the school files.
Washington, school officials declare, is
one Of the few cities which does not
require parents to show birth GER
tificate of children when they enroll
them in school
Parents filling out the cards will
be required to certify where the birth
is officially recorded.
ut is not the purpose at this time"
DR. Ballou states in a circular to
principals of elementary buildings
explaining the new birth card system,
ito require parents to go to the el
pense of obtaining transcripts; nor
should parents be required to produce
an official record Of affidavit. The
card when filled out will show whether
an official record is in the possession
of the parent and what kind Of record
If such a record Is not held by the
parent, the card will show where
record of birth can be obtained if
required. The office of vital statistics
Of the city or state in which the
child was born is the usual source Of
an official record"

CHANGES PREPARED
IN HIGHWAY PLAN
Seek to Make Streets Con-
form to Topography, Pre-
venting Cuts and Grading.

The final draft OF certain proposed
changes in the highway plan was pre-
pared today at the meeting of the
co-ordinating committee of the Ma
tional Park and Planning Commission.
The principal changes made in some
of the areas are for the purpose of
making the streets conform to the
topography thus presenting deep
cuts and grading. The changes will
be sent to the District Commissioners,
who, under the law, must hold pub
lie hearing for the benefit of pro-
spective property owners before the
local government can act upon them
1t was said today that the Commits
sioners will hold this meeting about
February IA, so that if they are ap-
proved there they may be submitted
to a meeting of the National Capital
Park and Planning Commission Feb
ruary Is.
New Street Proposed.
1t Is proposed to provide a new
street to connect the Glover parkway
and Potomac avenue north of the
Georgetown reservoir. This street
has been tentatively laid down, so that
it will pass through the area contain
ing the new first high reservoirs. 1t
is proposed to make this area a public
parkway.
A number Of changes are to be pro-
vided in the area west of Rock Creek
Park and north of Tennyson street,
affecting particularly, Fir, Elm, Dog
wood, Chestnut, Beech, Aberfoyle, and
Burnady streets. The present lines
of these streets will be moved some
feet in either direction in order to
conform to the topography of the
area.
The co-ordinating committee has
recommended that a new street be cut
through west of Observatory Circle,
to connect it with Wisconsin avenue.
The proposed street will be in the
vicinity Of the present u street.
CrOss-T0wn ThOroughfare.
Some changes in the line of Mon
tana. avenue, between Michigan and
Rhode Island avenues, are proposed.
The plan as laid down would carry
this street from Lincoln road to Michi-
gan avenue, and it is the plan ulti-
mately to carry it through to Bladens-
burg road to make a cross-town
for the northern section
Of the city.

AMERICAN DOCTOR SAVED.
Officer Interferes as Chinese Soldier
Threatens Him.

By Gable to The Star and Chicago Daily
News Copyright. 1927.
SHANGHAI, January 25.--There is
excellent reason for believing that
strict orders have been given by the
KSomintang government restraining
mobs from taking the lives of foreign
ers. So far the antiforeign movement
has involved the loss of property, and
in some cases personal injury, with
much discomfort and distress, but to
date no foreign lives have been lost.
The experience of DIR. Washell, an
American physician at Kiukiang, fur
nishes an illustration. Washell is the
port physician. He had house in
the British concession in Kiukiang
and when the foreigners evacuated he
took refuge on boat in the river.
He came ashore some days ago and
walked across the concession with
Chinese post office official. The sight
of a foreigner enraged a Chinese sol
der, who threatened to drive a bay
onet through Washell's body. A Chi
nese army officer interviewed and com

ANTI-GAMBLING ACT o. K.
Court Rules Missouri Statute on
Grain Futures Is Valid.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, January
25 CP.-The Missouri law to prevent
gambling in grain futures is valid and
does not conflict with the Federal
grain futures act, the State Supreme
Court ruled yesterday,
The court held, in affirming the con-
viction of James Christopher, grain
broker at Sedalia, that the Federal
statute merely restricts the State law
so as to make it inapplicable to trans
actions on contract markets" desig-
mated in the Federal measure.
The opinion decried the gradual
but certain encroachment of the Fed
eral Government upon the authority
OF the States" and held that the effect
of Federal statutes was not to destroy
the police powers of the State.

Opposition Leaders Notified.
While parliamentary sanction for

are not in the nature of general
mobilization, the government, to fore
stall criticism when Parliament meets,
February 8, has notified the opposi-
ton leaders, Ramsay Macdonald and
Lloyd George, Of what it has done in
the way of preparations.
The elaborate precautions have
caused feeling of uneasiness in some
sections; there are even demands that
there should be a session of Parliament
Immediately as in this way the gen
eral public, by questions and answers
In the House of Commons, could deter
mine whether the military prepare
lions were warranted.
There is some doubt in the minds
of Liberals over the justification for
the precautions, and Liberal news
papers express fear that the foreign
secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain,
under the urging Of certain cabinet
officials, is calling for an unwarranted
display of force. The Liberals find
fault with the government for not
being more specific about the Chinese
situation.
Mcdonald Expresses Alarm.
Ramsay Macdonald, former pre-
mier and labor leader, who has al
ready emphasized to the press that
although the government kept him
informed of the preparations, he was
in no way in accord with them, has
given statement to the Daily Herald,
labor organ, expressing alarm at the
propaganda information which is
being issued to the press with the
stamp of official utterance and with
flamboyant demeanor of aggres.
sion"
He sees in this an air quite different
from the foreign office statements, and
says he is frankly suspicious that the
current circumstances may be en-
ployed ito make the state the play
thing of the military" He calls upon
Laborites to keep this point to the
forefront.
