Dicky's Unreasonable Anger Leads to a Painul Scene Which Leaves Madge Distraueht and Shaken

As l finished my taunting little speech, purposely holding my voice down to a monotone, Dickys faCe was suddenly drained of color, and he strode over to my chair and. talk ing me by the shoulders, pulled me to my feet. His grasp was not rough. and he did not hurt me in the least, but there was something in his face which brought to me a touch of un reasoning terror, For a fIeeting sec ond l wondered if his anger had freed him of all his lnhibitions Of gentle breeding. For it was the face of a man angered 10 the point ot actual blows. careless Of whom they touched, which slared down nto mine.

 An American physician named Reginald Heber f'itz, who was born in Chelsea. Mass, May }. 1S43, was the first 10 describe appendicitis as d definite disease. which had existed for many cen- tUries. He had made postmort en. examinations Of bodies of persons
 who had died with these syrnp- toms of inflammation of the bow | els and infection in the abdomen and he came to the conclusion
 that the appendix, which is a little | tube closed at one end and coming off the larg intestine, was likely ! 10 become infected and to set up 1 these symptoms quite frequently.

 and made clear the nature of the most important symptoms; name- ly, fever. vomiting. pain on pres

 l Gradually other superstitions began to be associated with this

 that appendicitis was due to eat. ing grape seeds which would lodge i in .the appendix and block its

WAL.KOUT CLOSES
Mill
Textile Slaves Revolt
Against Speed-up

GREENVILLE, S. c., March 49,
The 10000 spindles of the main
plant of the Ware Shoals Manufac-
turing Company, a textile mill, have
been silenced by the spontaneous
walkout of all workers.
Without any organizational ex-
perience, the workers, after holding
meetings, put forth the demand for
the immediate recall of an efficiency
system operating thru the use Of
"minutemen." who record every
motion made by worker.
Representing the Bedeaux System
of speed-up efficiency. these min
ute men" were preparing the plant
for installation of a scheme which
would mean fiendish exploitation of
the operatives.
At a mass meeting the strikers
unanimously voted to remain out of
the mill "as long as the Saluda
River runs" if their demands were
not met.
The workers elected a represent
ative from each department of the
plant to speak to the owner, when
he arrives. Benjamin D Reigel, the
mill owner, is on his way here from
New York.

OPEN FIGHTING

on Honan and Hupeh
Border Lines
Peasants Fight Troops
Feng, Resigns; Try to
Assassinate Soong

SHANGHAI, China, March 1S.-
Simultaneously with the announce
ment that rigorous news censorship
will be enforced and all foreign cor
respondents be excluded from the
Kuomintang congress now in ses-
sion, owing to the open, bitter rival
ries between the warlords in the
Marking government, reports that
the Kwangsi generals have massed
$4,000 troops on the borders of HUI
nan and Hupeh and that Feng Yu-
hsiang has resigned as minister of
war have been received here.
At the same time conditions
equivalent to civil war are reported
from northern Shantung where the
entire peasantry has risen in open
resistance against the systematic
pillage of the unpaid troops of
Chang Chung chang. The immedi-
ate cause of the peasant outbreaks
is said to be the efforts of the troops
to extort money payments from the
miserable peasants.
While details of the fighting be-
tween peasantry and troops are
lacking, it is reported that the peas
ants tried to bring part of the SOL
diers over to their side. The at
tempt met with fearful reprisals on
the part of Chang's troops.
Skirmishes between the troops of
the Marking government and forces
of the Kwangsi group of warlords
are reported near Marking but it is
forecast that outbreak of fighting
on large scale will be held up un-
til after the Kuomintang congress.
Troops Moving.
Troop movements along the HUI
nan-Kiangsi border continue un-
abated, however.
General eFng's resignation, tho
made to enable him to assume the
post of premier of the Marking gov
ernment, according to the official
report, are said to have caused un-
easiness in Peking.
Lu Chung-lin, vice-minister of
war, is expected to succeed Feng.
Reports of attempts to assassinate
T. V. Soong, minister of finance,
tho denied by the government, are
widely credited here.

The "Pravda" points out that the
news that the -ison authorities have
considered it necessary to remove
Dobrogheanu Gherea, Communist
leader who has been on hunger
strike since Jan. &c, to the hospital,
means that his condition is very
serious and that the Rumanian gov

death of Gherea. 1t hopes by trans
ferring Gherea to hospital to save
itself from the storm of protest.
Immediate help is necessary to
save Gherea who is dying in the
prison of a government supported
by the social democracy. The press
of all Communist Parties and all re-
volutionary and anti-fascist organi-
cations and all opponents of the
white terror must do everything pos
sible in order to prevent the murder
of Lobrogheanu Gherea.
