TEXT BOOKS OUSTED
Chicago Brands Histories

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Aug. 28.-The Chicago
school board has won one engage
ment in Mayor William Thompson's
war on King George of England.
Six American history textbooks,
which came in for much publicity
durin gthe trial Of William Nc
Andrew, former superintendent of
Schools, were extirpated by the
scholo board at a meeting Wednes-
day, because, the board voted, they
tend to spread pro-British propa-
ganda among school children.
Surprisingly enough, J. Lewis
Coath, trustee and former president
of the board, voiced a mild opposi-
ton to the exclusion Of these books,
1t was Coath who led the attack
against Andrews, charging Andrews
was the instrument of British prop
aganda-spreading. Coath limited at
fvaoritism in selecting the text
books for the coming year, but when
the vote came, he voted with the
rest Of the members.

ALBANIA TIRES
OF SELF RULE;
FAVORS KING
Assembly Called to Name
President ZOgu Ruler
of Monarchy.
toOpyrIght. l02o. By unlted pressl

LONDON, Aug. 23.-The Alban-
ians, one of the most ancient races
Of Europe, want to be ruled by
King instead of a President.
After centuries of Turkish rule.
Albania gained its freedom shortly
before the World War and recently
experimental with a republican
form of government, modelled closely
after that of the United States.
1t did not suit them. Saturday, a
constitutional assembly will meet at
Tirana, the capital, and before it
ends, it will proclaim President All
med zogu, King.
Back Of the decision of this wild,
interesting and little known race of
people lies a history both fascinat-
ing and heroic. zogu, still only 33
years old, is called the Savior of
the people" and is their second
great national hero. The other was
Scanderberg, who led his people to
brief freedom from the Turks in
1443.
Albania is a little country, about
half the size of the state of Indi-
ana, lying on the eastern shore of
the Adriatic, with Jugoslavia to
the north and Greece to the south,
opposite the toe of the Italian
Boot" 1t has a population of per-
haps 100000 to 100000.

HOOVER FORCES
FEAR AL Smith
IN NORTHWEST
Reveal Discomfort in Wheat
Belt Tends to Favor
N. Y. Governor.
BY RAY TUCKER

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa, Aug. %.
Hardly had Herbert Hoover
quelled some of rebellion in the
corn belt here before he was in
formed by Northwestern leaders
that there was grave discomfort in
the wheat States of Minnesota,
Wisconsin and the Dakotas.
BY such leaders as Governor
Theodore Christensen of Mime
sofa, Representative Royal Johnson
of South Dakota and Senator Nye
of North Dakota he was told that
the 5O-cent drop in the wheat price
in the last month and Governor
Smiths popularity necessitated
hard and intensive campaigning in
the northwestern section.
Concretely they suggested that
Hoover, when returning to Cali
fornia to vote late in October. make
his tour through their section rath-
er than through the border States,
as had been originally planned.
Smith was said to have consider
able strength in the Northwest
where his wetnesS and even his
religion are helping him among the
tolerant and liberal people of for
eign decent.
Their adherence to Republican
ism, Hoover was informed, is not so
deep-seated as is that of people
in the corn belt which he has been
wooing.
Hoover advisers are jubilant at
the results of the three-day inva-
sion of the corn belt. The most
permanent good. In their opinion,
will follow not so much from Hoov-
er's pledges as from his contact
with more than sixty editors, six
Governors and ex-Governors. six
United States Senators and about
thirty members of the House, all of
whom reside in the supposedly dis
affected areas.
Next to his exhibition of his un-
derstanding of their troubles, they
liked best his evident sympathy and
determination to make a solution
of the farm question his first care
if he should be elected.

Unless County Epidemic
Is Curbed.
81 GET TREATMENT
Henry Officials Clamp on
Lid; May Follow Suit
Here.

Rabies again is increasing in Mar
ion County. Unless the spread of
the disease is checked it may be

DR.. William F. King, State board
of health secretary, declared today.

by DR.. King at a conference Of city
and county health authorities in
June curbed the rabies epidemic

board records show.
Today there are eighty-two Mar
ion County men, women and chill
dren receiving rabies serum treat
ment at the State clinic, whereas
in June, when the check first was
installed, forty-tWo received treat
rnent and in July the number of
patients had been reduced to
twenty-five.
Quarantine Ordered
Such quarantine as will be in
stituted in Henry County Monday,
where thirty persons are taking
serum treatments. as a result of dog
bites, will be necessary in Marion
County unless the epidemic is
curbed, Or. King said.
Starting Monday all law enforc-
ing officials of Henry County for
a period of thirty days will be re-
quirod to shoot any dog seen on
the street without leash or under
the care of its owner.
Following that period only dogs
whose owners have papers to show

otherwise the animal is to be killed.

1ature. the State veterinarian, DR..
F. c. Brown is given full discre-
tionary powers in event of a rabies
epidemic.
Disease Spreads
He may order all dogs shot or
confined. and the law makes it
paramount that enforcing officials
obey his mandates.
In event the rabies situation in
Marion County is not curbed it may
be necessary to have the veterina-
rian take over absolute control of
the situation. Dr. King said.
DR.. Brown is in Newcastle arrang-
ing the Henry County quarantine.
He is assisted in this work by Or.
w. w, Lee Of the State health de-

found to have positive rabies ba-
Gill; and of the seventy-nine
