MILLIONS DIE IN
 CHINESE FAMINE
Straw, Leaves and Thisdes Used
 for Food by Victims

ShanGhain, China, April 19 P- With drought, earthquake and flood added to the disasters of religious wars and famine, he population of kansu province has been reduced from 9,000.00O 100000 within a year. Straw. dried leaves, bark, cot ton seed and thistles have become staple articles of food in the famine districts and those who have sur vived hunger have died in thousands by the sword wielder by raiding, fanatical Mohammedans.
 Eighty thousand troops. inetfec- tual in checking the uprisings, re- main in the province helping to de vour the small supply of food which remains.
 In one city the people, unable to fnd even grass, ate the earth on hlll Their appetite was appeased and word spread that the gods had answered the prayers for help. Hun dreds of others flocked to the hill, ate of the earth and died.
 Grain Price Exorbitant
 The price of grain in the stricken areas has gone up to $loo a picul, or l33 pounds. The highest price reach ed in any previous famine was $50 d picul. It is estimated S3S,o0h,o00 will be needed to provide food for kansu until the next harvest time. which will be in June but there will be no harvest unless seed grain IS sent to the farmers. and seed grain mt l., ed
 The centra! government has au- thoriZed the issue of ia mine relief bonds and has called on the pro- vincial and local authorities to as sist in raising expenses for relief work. The response has been meager. Of the $50. 0,000 required, only s625000 has been arranged for.
 Race MlltipIics Regardless
 History shows that from the year 636, when the Nestoran mission aries arrived in the country, until the present time, there have been @46 disasters of major size in China. These do not include food shortages or guerrilla warfare. for the latter are, to the Chinese. a part of nor mal life.

 One of the first expedients of famine sufferers is to sell the wom- cn and children to those who, they hope. can give them food. Al pres ent the market price of marriage able girls in stricken provinces is from s2.50 10 $7;50. There are few buyers.

RED FLANNEIS PASS
 FROM PUBLIC FAVOR
Rhode Island Town With Fund to Provide Underwear for Poor
 Has Few Calls.

Gloucester, R. |. April 1s.-NP) Gloucester has passed through an- other winter without making any serious inroads into it's "red flannel' underwear fund.
 Making his will in 1890, Samuel Windsor Hunt injected the following clause:
 ''To the town of Gloucester R. La municipal corporation, l bequeath the sum of $500 in trust 10 be safe ly and properly invested and the in- come applied from time to time to procure underwear for the use of such people of said town as are from time to time supported by the town"
 Modern villagers apparently would rather shiver than itch, for in re- cent years applications for this free protection against the clements have been few. Only s22.27 has been drawn from the fund in the past 20 years and the bequest has grown to almost double its original size. READ HERALD CLASSIFIED ADS

ID. c. Rule Interpreted
The keynote Of practically all lead.
ing decisions Is based upon: What
speed would q prudent man employ?
The District OF Columbia traffic
regulations provide that motorist
shall operate his machine under abb
solute control at all times.
lnS Interpretation LudL lHS courts
have placed upon this means such
control as makes the operation of an
automobile safe in view Of, and rs
determined by. its apparent situation
and surroundings.
In view of the fact that the courts,
almost universally, hold that there
can be no fixed safe cut-and-dried
speed limit. students of traffic prob
lens are gradually stressing eau
tious driving" rather than an arbi-
trary speed. Undoubtedly there are
times when speed is a factor in

speed limits, but at the. same time
hold him to stricter observance Of

that they result In q considerable
