Further Statement Concerning Mumps
 In City Of Nome

Dr. Rex F. Swartz, who has been questioned and interrogated consid- erably since the publication in Sat urday's issue of the Nugget, concern ing cases of humps in Nome, stated today:
 It is not the purpose to alarm the citizens of an impending epidemic of humps throughout the city, but, to warn them to take proper pre- cautions when such cases develop.
 'In regard to children in a fam fly in which there is a case or more of humps, those who have not had the disease should be kept home from school and other public places, until there is no longer any humps in the family.
 Tn the case where children who have had humps and otherschildren have them, the ones who have had the humps are immune and can be allowed to go out.
 There has been certain neglig ence in reporting cases of humps, but there is no danger of serious epidemic if ordinary, simple precau- tions are taken, such as advising the doctor, isolating the victim and in that way preventing any further spread of this contagious disease. In this manner, it can be soon stamp ed out"

SO MILLION DOLLAR EXPECTED
FOR NORTH CAROLINA RELIEF

Washington, June 18.-North Caro-
lima is slated to get approximately
$5O,0OO,OO0 as her share of the four
and a half billion dollar work relief
program the Roosevelt administers
ton plans to get under way by July /.
This money will be used to take the
$4,000 able bodied men now on relief
and put them to work on useful pro-
jects from which the public will bene-
fit.
No definite amount is to be allo-
Gated to state, and at this time no
definite estimate can be made of Just
how money will be spent in North
Carolina. But those in authority ex-
press the opinion that the sum will
be close to $5O,OOO,O0O. 1t may be a
few million more or few million
less.
George w. Coan, Jr., Works Prog
ress director who will supervise the
new work relief program in the state,
is still in Washington receiving final
instructions along with the other
state directors. He plans to remain
here until tomorrow night or Thurs
day.
Questioned as to his plans for set
ting up his state organization, Coan
said it was his plan to use competent
personnel now connected with the re-
lief administration in North Caro-
lima. 1t appears to be fixed national
policy to shift as many persons from
the relief administration to the work
progress administration as possible.

changes have taken place since she

Maybe it was just as well she was

the announcement that the sixth-or

Seldom has America had a mes

as Nine. Lebrun. She certainly won
all hearts with which she came in
contact. Her first interview by women
of the press-it would scare almost
any man to death-was somewhat
trying at first but she came out
bravely. When asked about the poll
tical status of women in France, she
said she thought they would even

her charities are of the kind now
