SCHOOL CHECKS DRAWN
$4,000 Teachers Will Get Half
Months Pay If City Raises
Money to Meet Drafts.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 19.-Checks for
$2,500000, Chicago's Christmas present
to its school teachers, were made out
today.
If there Is enough money to cover
them, $4,000 school marms and masters
will be cheered with q half months
back pay. And today the International
Harvester Co. mailed the school board
a check for 100000 worth Of tax an
ticipation warrants, virtually assuring
the salary payments. Teachers have re-
ceived but one months pay since last
April.
Other city employees were less lucky
The policemen, firemen and others on
the municipal pay roll were to have been
paid four days ago, but no money is in
sight. The City Council yesterday
averted a default on city bonds by au-
thorizing $l1,828,3l9 paid on principal
and interest due January l. That pay
ment drained the treasury and unless
enough tax warrants are disposed of the
employees will go payless

Buddhist Monks Of China May Mobilize
 To Beat Off Japan

greeted in Tokio as heralding Japan's occupation of the Chinese city within a week.
 Although suffering reverse when so-called irregulars recap tured the Chinese citadel at Miu- chuang, Japanese troops claimed that other attachments of bandits had been dispersed and that new battle lines were being drawn.
 The imminent scene of conflict was near Panshan, where column of Japanese confronted unnumber- ed Chinese troops which had nov ed up from Kowpangtzu.
 Heavy fighting was expected as these Chinese sought to frustrate the presumable Japanese intention of cutting the Peiping- Mukden Railway line, an all-important artery.
 While Japanese endorsements were leaving Korea to join the movement of troops and bombing planes toward Chinchow, others under the Mikado's colors fought 2,000 bandits at the village of Hsintun, 0 mile north of Tien- chaungtai. The irregulars were scattered.
 Native language newspapers in Tokio hailed the developments as indicating Japanese troops soon will be encamped at Chinchow. Other bandits under Lao Pei.Feng. however, reentered Niuchuang and took the citadel from which Japanese troops busted them last week.

RULES OF THE ROAD
 FOR MOTORISTS
Published Before But Re- ferred to Again for the
 Benefit of Public
GO TO LEFT PASSING

New Haven, Dec 29.-Strict ob- servance of the rule of the road which requires motorists to so to the left of all other vehicles legal ly upon the highway is urged upon all Connecticut motorists by Frank H. Gates of Derby, vice president of the Connecticut Motor club.
 "Aside from being breach of the law" Mir Gates said, "this is reckless driving of the worst kind. It is hard to conceive of anyone with a sense of appreciation for ing guilty of such an offense.
 "The Connecticut Motor club heartily endorses the sentiments so recently expressed by State Motor Vehicle Commissioner Robbins B.. Stoeckel in this connection Mir Gates continued.
 Commissioner Stoeckel, in a re- cent radio address, said that number of complaints had come to his department of motorists who passed ether vehicles on the right.
 Investigation has disclosed that while the majority of the offend- CTS are out-of-state operators, Con- necticut drivers have been discov- cred to be among the offenders.
 With respect to the out-of-state offenders, Commissioner Stoeckel said: Ut must not be permitted that operators from other states perform driving acts which they ought to know better than to do, on the theory that they are ignor- ant of our laws, or that they be excused for offenses for the com mission of which Connecticut op- orators are disciplined.
 "Connecticut governs itself.
 "It Is not to bo coerced by the whim and temperament of opera tors from other states on the theory that reciprocity protects them.
 Reciprocity never extends to protect criminal acts of any kind; neither does cooperation, nor any other of the great rules which gov ern interstate motor vehicle traf- fic.
 NO matter where he comes from, the man who passes on the right, except In the restricted places where he Is under traffic direction, Is performing an act which is against the law and mus! be punished" Commissioner stoeckel said.
 "The Connecticut Motor club will. of course, give every aid to the department of motor vehicles in ending the practice" MT Gates said.
