-Four hundred children ranging
from six to IL years of age
marched out like little soldiers
into the rain today as the Cry Of
"Fire" rang through the halls Of
Van Buren School, w and Chester
Streets Northeast.
A pile of trash in the basement
had taken fire from an undeter-

M. E. Graves, principal, and the
entire building was filled with
smoke.
For a half hour or more the
youngsters stood in the rain and
many of them went home for a
change Of clothing. Glasses were
to be resumed later in the day.
The damage was reported to be

BALTIMORE, Dec. 19.-When
the Flying Clipper No. 7, largest
flying boat ever built in this
country, takes the air here this
afternoon, Col. Charles A. Lind

before the big ship is drawn by
a tractor from its hangar down
to a specially built ramp on the
Middle River.
With J. T. Trippe, president

BY FRANKLIN G. SARTWELL
Numerous consoliC tions Of
Government agencies along func.
tional lines will be recommended
by the Administration to Con-
sresS when that body convenes
next month, it was learned to-
day.
The recommendations, it is un-
derstood, will not be made with
the object of curtailing the
number of Government employees,
and probably would not have
that effect if adopted by Con-
EresS.
BY unifying functions now
spread throughout all the depart
ments and bureaus, it is felt,
q more efficient functioning Of
the governmental machine will
be obtained.
No Sweeping Changes
The proposals now being pre-
barred for submission to Congress
will not be so sweeping as many
Of the reorganization schemes ad.
Vanced in the past. They will be
confined to apparently inoffen.
sive consultations which would
step on no ones political toes
but would, at the same time,
make it possible to start toward
greater cohesion of functioning
Of the far-flung Government or
ganization.
Strangely enough, in the view
of Washington, the projected con-
solidations will not, in their pres
ent form, affect the multitud1nous
"emergency" agencies which have
sprung up under the New Deal
Rumors Discounted
AS far as can be ascertained
there is no plan afoot now to curb
any of these agencies or to alter
their setup by congressional en-
actment. There are, Of course,
the usual rumors about shake-ups
and wholesale dismissals, but these
don't seem to have any more foun'
dation than usual.
Some of the recommendations
Tor functional reorganization al
ready have been submitted to Ad-
ministration leaders in the Senate
and House, it is understood. Their
reception, it is reported, has been
varied.
Many Of the leaders feel that
It is practically useless to stir up
the reorganization plan" at this
time in view of the fact that the
Government organization is con-
tinually expanding under the pres
sure of emergency creations.
Would Delay Shifts
They point out that little is to
be gained by dealing with an or
ganization which is in a. state Of
fux. They would prefer to let
che entire reorganization proposal
go by the board for year or two,
at least until some more static
conditions can be obtained in the
Government service.
Apparently this view, however,
Is not going to be permitted to
predominant.
The charts have been drawn
which will cut across several de-
partments. They line up some of
the functions now common to
each department and unity that
functioning under a single, and
presumably more efficient, head.
Seek To Avoid Row
BY aiming the move at the
old-line agencies political facto-
tUms of the Administration feel
that they will be able to avoid a
great deal of the antagonism
which would be stirred up by q
frontal assault on the new agen-
c1es.

The Leticia episode dates from
Sept. /, 1882, when 300 Peruvians
seized, without their governments
sanction, the obscure village Of
Leticia in the upper reaches OF
the Amazon. Leticia was the
property of Colombia.
ColombianS famed with rage.
Peruvians paraded in celebration.
The Peruvian government, unable
to restrain it's citizenry, yielded to
their enthusiasm and eight weeks
later regular Peruvian troops oc-
cupied Leticia.

both Britain and France would find it difficult to turn

Colombia on ordnance purchases
in this country.
On Dec. 2, 1882, three months
after the Leticia raid, Commander
Strong filed detailed report with
Colombia's consul general in New
York City concerning plans for
the defense of Cartagena, Baran-
quilla and other Colombian ports
against Peru'S United States built
submarines and other Warcraft.
A BOUT the same time it was
4 N brought out the briggs Ord
nance and Engineering Company
of New York acquired the yacht
Flying Fox, and had her remod-
eled and armed with three Inch
guns as river gunboat for Co
lombia.
1t was in January, 1888, that
Mr.. Stimson, in a strong note,
warned Peru about her treaty OBJ
legations to respect Colombia's
territory.
The next month Peruvian and
Colombian outposts clashed, and a
Lima mob attacked the Colombian
legation. The arms business was
looking up. The briggs company
dispatched its sleek Latin sales
man, Alfred j. Miranda Jr., to
Bogota to look after Colombia's
needs.
In June a League of Nations
commission arrived to take over
Leticia pending a settlement-and
in the same month two river boats
built by the Electric Boat Com
pany at its Groton plant were de-
livered secretively to Peru-with-
out ceremony lest it alarm the

Colombia called for $4,000 re-
cruitS and a Czech general ar
rived to help against Peru. Loans
were floated by both countries. 1t
looked like another Chaco.
Not until May of this year, when
the two nations finally were
brought together in a peace treaty,
did this promising munitions boom
collapse.

Later, Longs country influence
waned, and he needed New Or

years ago.
But the coalition didn't work

Long determined to break with
the city, and raised the age-old
issue of country VS.. city.
How does Long keep his men in
line-men whom he calls sacks

ket price?
At least five state senators have
six relatives each on the state
pay rolls. Seven senators have
four relatives each on them. Nine
senators have two to three each
there. In some instances, the
family of senator drags down
S1,40G a month from the state
pay rolls.
THIS fight in New Orleans is
Il Clusters last stand for Long.
In his desperation, he forced Gov
ernor o. K. Allen to declare par
tial marital law, and for a month
the national guard has been quar-
tered in the registration office,
heavily armed.
Long f1outed the courts when
they ruled that this was uncon-
stitutional. He threatened to
seize City Hall, and the mayor
armed 500 special policemen and
marched them into the citadel.
Then Long drove his "CoSsack"
bill through the special session of

ICES the state machine to put
special deputies in the voting
places, the freight to be paid by
the communities.
On this, many communities in
Louisiana are today in a state of
revolt. Long also drove through
bill to investigate the city gov
eminent of New Orleans, and its
alleged graft, and had himself ap-
pointed prosecutor.
He says the board will meet
under national guard protection,
and says, ITO hell with the
courts" There is no doubt he will
find the worst kind of vice con-
ditions in New Orleans.

The money is running out-the
hundred million dollar bond issues
of the state and of the parishes,
the spending of which Long con-
trolled either by his own fiat or
through court house cliques.
WITHOUT money, he can not
w hold his voting ranks firm.
This is the reason for his attack
and his raising of the vice-graft
battle cry in New Orleans.
There is plenty of vice, gam
bling, and what have you in New
Orleans, but there is plenty of
the same in the adjoining par
ishes of st. Bernard and Jeffer-
son. which are part of the city in
every sense except political one.
These are two Long Strongholds,
the last of his mighty camps in
the state, with reported voting
registrations greater than the en-
tire population as given in the
United States census.
Long has not turned a finger to
stop the gambling, ETC., in Jeffer-
son and St. Bernard; and he will
cease to throw troops and inves-
tigating committees into New Or
leans when and if he reduces this
city to his vasSalage.

Indeed in Philadelphia, special arrangements are

Any pain in the abdomen or any cramps or sore

The diagnosis of appendicitis is difficult in chill

TOR this reason an early and correct diagnosis OF

more important than in an adult.
In many cases the appendix has broken and
peritonits has followed in child because some
careless parent has given large dose OF castor oil
to relieve colicky pains.
Appendicitis has been found in babies soon after
birth The number of deaths from appendicitis dur
ing the first three years of life is high in proper
ton to the rate associated with appendicitis later in
life.
1t is well known to the medical profession that
the chance Of recovery from appendicitis after OPP

to the appendix itself Removal Of the appendix at
this stage will yield recovery in almost 100 per cent
Of cases.
TINE great danger comes when the appendix
