it off.
She must administer to China
decisive defeat, either militarily or
politically else prepare for ulti-

Washington, therefore, is again on
the anxious seat. It's policy, how

COMMUNISTS
 PLAN CONGRESS
Moscow Party Set Jan 20 for Meeting to Decide
 Soviet Regime

Moscow, (UP)-A national con gress of representatives of the communist party is scheduled for 1884. It's decisions will be more significant for the future course of the Soviet regime than those of any government body could be.
 Tentatively, Jan 20 has been set as the date, but last-minute post ponements are not unlikely.
 In any case. 1t will be in session on or about the tenth anniversary Of Lcnin's death and will be made the vehicle for momentous trib- ute to the memory of the father of bolshevism.
 AS communist leaders put it, the congress will summarize the course of the revolution during rten years without Lenin." Un- doubtedly every eulogy to Lenin will be coupled with tribute to "his most devoted disciple, Stalin."
 This congress, the first in several years, will mark the complete vic tory of Joseph Stalin in fighting down opposition to his policies and personal methods. 1t was at a party congress that the struggle between Stalin and Trotsky came to climax. At a later congress the so-called Right Opposition, headed by Alexei Rykov, Nikolai Eukharin and Michael Tomsky was crushed effectively. Even at the last congress there were some echoes of opposition.
 The present gathering, however. will be outwardly entirely unanim- ous in it's enthusiastic support of Stalin

Post Office Excavation
 Recalls Early History

Pittsburgh. (UP)-Stirring days of Pittsbusgh's early history were recalled here when an excavation at the new post office building re- vealed ancient graves, containing bodies of pioneer residents.
 One skull was believed that of a French soldier in the French and Indian War, crucial battles of which were fought in the territory commanded by For, Pitt. Bones of another person were found in a hexagonal, walnut coffin, while the excavation also revealed a row of other raskets which were not dis turbed.
 The Pennsylvania Railroad has occupied the ground where the ground where the bones were found for more than century and no cemeteries at that site are de- scribed in Pittsburgh histories. However, Mrs Anna B. O'Brien, Pittsburgh, said old records she has indicate that a Roman Catholic chapel with a cemetery was locat- ed near the site in 1915.

Holidays Decreased
 V.N. November Visits
However, 1884 Were Made According to Monthly
 Report of Nursing Director Released To-day

The monthly report of Miss Florence Whipple, director of the Visiting Nurses associatiSi, shows that 2,864 visits were made by nurses during the month of Mo- vember. One death due to pneu- monia was attributed to a delay in calling the association to the seri- ous condition of the patient. Other interesting features of the report are as follows:
 1.-TWO holidays, Armistice and Thanksgiving, occurring in this month decreased our total visits for the month. Our full staff of fourteen nurses were on duty ex- cept for one day of sickness. We made in all 2,8S4 visits. Of these, 823 were to acutely i'll patients. The illnesses nursed were scarlet fever, patients; measles, 1 pa- tient;, whooping-cough, 3 pa- tients; diphtheria, patient; in- fuenza, IA patients. patients i'll with diabetes received 23 visits; II patients ill with ear conditions re- cieved "A visits; 24 patients i'll with bronchitis received 102 visits; and 12 patients with pneumonia re- ceived 67 visits. 16 with diarrhea or intestinal disease received 62 visits. Thre deaths occurred among

our patients, caused by diabetes, pneumario and acute nephritis The patient with pneumonia had been i'll four days before calling the nurse. We made one visit and the patient died before the next visit the following day. This H. illustrates the practice that the Metropolitan Life Insurance com pany Is trying to correct. The waiting until a patient has been i'll four to ten days before calling in the nurse or. doctor. This has in many cases resulted in the death of the patient needlessly. We have always stressed in our teaching in families, early reporting of illness. But apparently, we have not done enough. We dant to give care when 1t is needed and not arrive when the patient is moribund or up and about.
 473 visits were made to preg- nant mothers and 132 visits to mothers and 123 to new babies. r. 015 visits were made to babies and mothers after the bay is two weeks old, instructing them in the care of the baby and of themselves, and uTSlHS tHdC tIte pdDy pe pIdCeu uH- der the care of physician and his orders for feeding and diet carried out.
 30 we'll baby conferences were held this month with a total at- tendance of 473.
 antepartum clinics were held with a total attendance of 95.
 The staff attended a statewide Staff Nurses institute in Hartford on November 2. This was planned and carried out entirely by staff nurses. and the Waterbury V. N. A. was honored by having one of its members. Miss Liebreich, on the committee of five which planned the the institute and another mem- Der, Mrs Dodd, who gave a paper on Everyday Problems of the Ev- eryday Family.

i the ituation-"Perhaps you have the wrong offlce."
 Mir Burns hurriedly took his wife
 by the arm and almost ran to the corridor.
 Not a word was spoken as Mir and Mrs Burns rode another taxi to the address of their daughters apartment. Now the fear enter ltained by Pa Burns-the fear which had prompted him to make the trip
 to New York-apparently was mu- tual.
 THEY APPROACH THE
 THIRD FLOOR RIGHT At the address the couple didn't
 hesitate to view the surroundings, although the entranse to the unin-
 viting brick building was dark and dirty. In a dreary hallway they entered. At the first door, MT Burns knocked and inquired of Kathryn Burns. As the direction of a buxom woman they hurriedly
 mounted the stairs to the second floor and approached "the third
 door on the right" Before MT Burns had an oppor- tunity to knock, Ma Burns rushed
 into the room. There on a rickety old bed, lay a sobbing girl-a pie

disagreed: 'I don't think we had better go to Katie's officG Let's go right up to her apartment" He stopped a moment and then as if it was necessary to offer a reason, he said, "You see, Ma, they might not like it at the office. They don't usually approve of folks making social calls during business hours"
 It was feigned disgust that Mrs Burns registered. "Pa, I'm ashamed of you-it seems you aren't at all anxious to see your own daughter. You seem to be coming down here just for some silly reason of your own. I'm telling you, Pa Burns, l haven't seen my little girl in two months. and don't intend waiting going up to Kathryn's> office" MIR BURNS HANDED
 THE DRIVER THE ADDRESS
 When MT and Mrs Burns suc- cessfully found their way to the taxi line at the Grand Central, MT Burns handed the driver the ad- dress of Smith and Jones, Brokers, which he had copied from the tele- phone directory.
 It was magnificent building which bore the address. Up the speedy elevator they rode to the nineteenth floor, then through one of several glass doors bearing vari- ous identifications and to a desk on which was 8 metal plate marked Information"
 Pa Burns lifted his hat and asked of the girl, May we see Miss Burns, please" The young lady pushed a buZzer on an inter-office telephone.
 Miss Burns" she said, 'could you come to the information desk, please?"
 MT Burns gaZed in apparent sur prise, as though he had expected some other answer from the girl behind the. desk. But 1t was for only a moment. Immediately he smiled broadly, as though relieved of a terrific strain.
 Soon a girl came to the informa- tion desk, spoke to the hostess, who pointed to MT and Mrs Burns.
 "How do you do," the girl ad- dressed the visitors.
 Pa Burns smiled in acknowledg- ment. "We would like to speak with Miss Burns" he informed.
 The girl nodded politely. I'm Miss Burns" she said.
 MT Burns assumed an apologetic attitude. "I'm so sorry, I guess l should have made myself more clear. You are not the girl we re- ferred to. We would like to see our daughter, Miss KATHRYN Burns"
 Miss Burns looked at the girl at the information desk, who slowly shook negative head as Pa Burns paled and hurriedly inquired:
 Doesn't Miss Kathryn Burns work here?"

S75 COW RATED
 LONG DECISION
MiddletOwn Allegations Prove Humorous in
 Court Trial

Middletown, Conn, (UP)-The case involved the sale of a COW for $75 and the litigants were Solo, mon Foley, plaintiff, and Gustav Gustafson, defendant. Judge Ber- trand p. Spencer wrote the follow ing decision.
 "The Morales were at issue with the descendants of the twelve tribes before the court on the sub- stituted complaint. The parties appeared with reluctant but voci- ferrous counsel. The question re- solved itself mostly to one of cred- ibility and as to this the court is in a quandary. First, because the credibility of the defendants chief witness has been below the van- ishing point for a long time, and second, because the defendant evil dently believed that the truth is involved in much speaking.
 "It is gleaned, however, that the defendant let the plaintiff have a calf and COW at an agreed price of $20 and that the plaintiff pro- ceeded to take an unascertained amount of chicken meat for which the plaintiff is willing to allow $7.20. Tn eonly apparent trouble with the plaintiffs COW was that her valves had not been ground recently enough so that the de- fendant was willing to keep her lnoger. I find that the plaintiff, through Gordon, did actually fur nish another cow to the defend ant, but am not, convinced there was any agreement whatever about the price.
 "I find the plaintiffs witness, with his welL-recognized acumen for a profitable trade, brought over a COW which had had two calves and which gave even less milk than the defendants COW. and which was shortly thereafter sold for $20. As far as the equities of the situation are concerned, the Nordic got rid of hard milker for one which wouldn't milk at all, and therefore the equities are about equal. Let judgment enter for the defend- ant"

Startled. the girl looked up. shouted iubIlantly-"Ma Pa"- and immediately broke into an al- most hysterical cry.
 "rm so glad you came" she sobbed when she had managed to partly control herself. T didn't want to give up. but I'm so tired and sick of 1t all. didn't want to fib in those letters, but was con- fident I would find work.

 As she cried harder again, MT Burns kissed and comforted her.

CHRISTMAS DAY

We were in our billets for just two days, When we got orders to go way; Of course the tramp of boots drive fellow mad, But when you look at the dead, it's mighty sad. It happened to come on this Christmas day., When folks back home go to church and pray, had written home to Nom and Dad, God bless them, Not to forget to sing my favorite hymn. But we came to the parting of the ways, On this joyous Christmas day.; No more tramp of boots to drive fellow mad, And folks back home will say, tits mighty sad"
