SIX MILLIONS OF
 ADULTS OUT OF
 WORK IN NATION
Thousands of School Chil' dren Are Pushed Into Labor Market, Says the Labor Dept

Washington, Aug 31-U. Po - Approximately 100000 adults are out of work to-day while thousands of school children are being pushed month after month into the laDor market, the labor departments s children's bureau has reported. Sta tistics revealed this condition was for 1880 and covered less than half the nation. They showed that in the area surveyed, 103,000 children Of IA and 15 years obtained employ ment certificates during 1880, one third less than in 1929 as a whole. In some localities, however. there was an increase in the number who secured jobs.
 The report came just few days after President Hoover's organlza- : ton on unemployment relief had announced a program to persuade young men and women to remain in school. This plan is to be inaug :. urated Wednesday with the first or a series of four radio broadcasts. President William Green of the American Federation of Labor has been selected as first speaker.
 The relief organization, headed by Walter $. Clifford. president of the American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, is moving forward in its effort to coordinate unem- ployment relief and at the same time finds jobs for those out of work.

COMMUNISTS IN
 CHINA HAVE CUT {.
 ALL THE DYKES
They Did It to Stop Pur- suing Govt Troops and Thousands of Natives Were Drowned

Hankow, August 31 - tUP) - Reports that Communist armies cut dykes along the flooded Yang tze river to swamp pursuing gov ernment troops and drowned thou sands of natives were received here today by the Kuo Min Agency.
 Continued rains in the flood area and storms approaching typhoon velocity caused many deaths dur ing the past few days and added to the suffering of survivors fighting hunger and plague. First official statistics issued by the public saf ety bureau here said 163.0OO houses in the Wuhan area were submerged and 752.000 people af- fected by the floods. Of this num- Der 66 per cent were said 10 D, destitute and homeless. The re- port did not estimate the casual ties.
 Local officials who conferred with President General ChlanS Kali Shek estimated that 10000. 900 people were homeless ana awaiting relief In 45 Hupeh dis- tricts which were inundated. The Hupeh provincial treasury. was said to be "entirely empty" with $3O, 100000 needed for initial re- lief. ...
 Chiang Kai-Shek said the gov ernment would carry out dredging operations off HankOw as speedily as possible. He announced that the government had arranged with the Central Bank of Shanghai to loan $5O0,OO0 to local native banks in an effort to prevent complete financial collapse. Foreign experts said It wouIn be necessary 10 construct O,ooo miles of new dykes before me flood menace could be considered mat

MISSING YOUNG
 FRENCH ARTIST
 HAS BEEN FOUND
Robert C. Werner DiscOv- cred Nude and UncOn- sciOus on Beach in Portland, Me.

, Portland, Me, Aug 31---(CP) - Robert C. Verrier, young Grench artist found nude and unconscious on Willard beach Saturday night after being missing three days, was reported quite bit better" at State Street hospital today by Dr Reginald C.

The artist set out from Prouts Neck Wednekday in small boat to make sketchS6 of the seashore. Search was made by water, air and afoot before a hotel guest foun him Saturday night at Willard Beach. IS miles distant. The boat was missing.
 Verrier promised yesterday he would tell Sheriff Lloyd w. Jordan of Cumberland county today the circumstances of his disappearance. Dr Lombard, however, doubted the artist could. "Verr:er told me this morning he still didn't remember anything of what happened We'd nesday, and didn't remember being brought to the hospital" the phy- siCian declared.

are required by law to submit specimens before their permit is re- newed each year. t
 The increase in dia2nostic speci- mems other than those of diphthe- ria for July. 1881, over July, 1930, was 1,414. s,
 Specimens taken from every handler of these products must be submitted annually in orc to de- termine whether or not are carriers of communicable C.scases; 1. C., typhoid fever, diphthcr.a, scar let fever. septic sore throat and tuberculosis. These diseases are readily transferred from their car riers to the food and thence to the persons consuming the food. Health preservation demands. therefore, that carriers be banned as food handlers. m
 Specimens taken from the han dlers and submitted for laboratory examination before renewal of the permit allowing continuance in the food handling occupation include cultures from the nose and throat which are examined for diphtheria and the organisms causing scarlet fever and septic sore throat: Q sample of sputum to be examined for the germs of tuberculosis; and body excretions and blood for baC- teria cuasing typhoid and paraty- phoid levers. This routine check up of the workers minimizes the chances of milk borne infection.
 Last year. the examination of food handlers specimens revealed one typhoid carrier and one per. son suffering from tuberculosis. both of whom were barred from handling milk. Typhoid carriers so frequently remain carriers through out their lives that the expression has arisen "once tynhoid carrier, always a typhoid carrier.'
 The state department of health likewise has under constant sur veillance those working as oyster openers or in oyster shucking houses. These are checked for in dications of typhoid fever germs before they are permitted to under take the work.
 Chefs, walters. WaitresSes. bak- CTS. butchers, grocers and handlers of ice cream are not included in the above outlined routine. since they are too numerous to examine with the funds available for labor atory purposes. The department, however. stands ready to assist any health officer in locating the cause of any outbreak caused by food product or food handlers. Report ing to health officers of lack of cleanliness or pos. bilitv of disease by food handlers of any kind is urged upon the general public for it's own protection. t

Milford, Conn, Aug '31.--(UP)-- Thirteen men who experienced the sensation. of tossing in. rough seas in a sinking motorboat which only strenuous bailing kept afioat until rescue craft arrived were recover ing from fatigue and exposure to- day.
 The men had left Bridgeport Friday for a weekend fishing ex- pedition off Montauk Point, l.. l., apparently unfearful of the super stition of carrying 13 in the cabin cruiser Mars. Enroute back to Bridgeport Sunday, the Mars en- countered heavy seas which opened seams in her bow.
 With water streaming through the cracks, the men formed bucket brigade, for the Mars car ried no pumps. Constant pound- ing of waves opened new cracks and winch the Mars arrived on Charles Island, near here, the ris- inc water flooded the engine.
 Arnold Donath of Bridgeport, owner of the boat, rowed two miles to shore th a dory to sum mon aid from Milford police. The cruisers Joan and Salome put out from the Miltord Yacht club ana reached the Mars to find it's twelVe occupantsJat the point of exhaus- ton. The twelve transferred to the rescue boats and the Mars was lowed to beach.

CONFESSION OF DYING MAN MAY
 SAVE CONVICT
Jesse Lucas Has Served P Years for a Murder, Another Man Had COm= mitted

Mt Carmel, III, Aug 31.-tUP) The deathbed confession of a 62 year old farmer sent authorities of two states in search of justice for man said to have served 22 years in prison for murder he did not commit. The victim is Jesse Lucas of Mt Carmel. He is in the Ches- ter, Ill, penitentiary, serving life sentence for the murder of Clyde Showalter, young stockbuyer whose body was found floating in the Patoka river 26 years ago. Ac- tion intended to bring about Lucas release was started after the death last June 30 of George R. Pond 62, a farmer who lived at Decker just across the. state line, near Vim cennes in Indiana.
 Ponds wife. Rachel. and Mrs Anna Smith told authorities that Pond confessed on his deathbed that he, and not Lucas, had killed Showalter. Mrs Pond and Mrs Smith said Pond asked them to pray for him. Then told them of his crime. The women signed af- fidavits that Pond told them he killed the stockbuyer in the belief Showalter was carrying large sum of money.
 Showalter was killed October 19, 1905. His body was found eight months later in the river on the Indiana side. Three years later, on September 30, 1903. Lucas and his mother. Mrs Margaret "Lib" Lucas, were charged with the staying. Both were convict ed the following April.
 Mrs Lucas was granted a new trial and eventually the charges against her were dropped. The son went to prison, protesting hls innocence.
 Surviving members of the jury which on April 30, 1909. found Lucas guilty of the murder, as- SC m bled again last night. They all signed a petition approving the re- lease of Lucas from prison.

 Since the unemployment relief fund system went into effect. to- tai of $522.115.37 has been collect ed.
