CHINA SOUGHT LOAN LONG AGO
 FROM BRITAIN
British Gave Reasons at That Time Why It Was
 Impossible
nv JoHN R. MORRIss

United Press Far Eastern Manager (Copyright 1885, By United Press)
 Peiping, March 5.-(UP)-Sir Alexander Cadogan, British Minis CT to China, revealed today that China came to Great Britain months ago seeking loan which now is being negotiated.
 Cadogan said that the negotia- tions still were in the initial stage. Under no conditions should the proposed loan be considered an effort to balk Sino-Japanese rapprochment. the British repres-- entative to the Chinese National Government said.
 The first Chinese overtures Tor a strictly British loan were reject ed, the diplomat told the United Press in an exclusive interview.
 "Great Britain necessarily refus- kd 8 British loan not only because she doubted it's wisdom but also because treasury regulations pre- vented an official sterling loan 10 a sterling country like Chlna, which has a silver standard.
 we also considered that all in- ferested nations should participate.
 aI believe that Japan never off1- nially has opposed such joint as- sistance to China"
 Cadogan referred to the Japan Ase Hands Off China" policy, which holds any assistance to China for military or political pur- poses an unfriendly act.
 The British minister said that the next move in the loan negoua- tione would be the submissfon by the Chinese national government of detailed proposals, including conditions for insuring that the credits would be employed benefi- cially in stabilizing Chinese finan- 'cial conditions.

.l25 TEACHERS ON
 UNEMPLOYED LIST
Data of State Secretary Butterfield of Unusual
 Local Interest

A total of 152 teachers is unem- ployed in Waterbury, 1t was dis closed to-day. This total was sub- mitted to E. w. Butterfleld, State commissioner, of education by pr Thomas J. Condon, superintendent of the local schools, as part of statewide survey made by the state board during December, re- suits of which have just been an- nounced.
 Local teachers awaiting employ ment are listed as follows: college graduates, 98: normal school grad uates, Al; special teachers, 13. pr Condon explains that question: naires were sent to each teacher list ed and that as 1t is impossible to determine the classification in which individuals listed themselves, the accuracy of the figures may be open to question. Many of them are doing suhstitute work, he said.
 The total number of unemployed teachers in the state is $50, accord ing to the report. These are divided as follows: elementery 356; second ary. 487: special, 1O7. Of the sec- ondary school teachers, 121 are ex- perienced and 366 are not, and a total of $50 are recent graduates of colleges and wholly without ex- perience. Of the total unemployed more than half are college gradu- ates who have made no deliberate preparation for teaching, but who wish to teach since employment in other fields is lacking.
 The report summarizes: There are over 5000 regular teachers in elementary public schools. A fif- teen year overturn would require 400 new teachers every year. There is on hand less than a years supply"

ITALY VERY NEAR
 PEACE WITH THE ABYSSlNIANS
Agreement Is Reached on Neutral Zone - Full
 Term Not Reached
By THOMAS B. MORGAN United Press Stan CorrespOnden

(Unlted Press Stan COrreSpOndcnt)
 Rome, March 5-(UP)-Italy's dispute with Abyssinia over border raids in East Africa, which sent a procession of troop laden ships across the Mediterranean, was be- lieved assured of peaceful settle- ment today when agreement was reached for a neutral zone.
 It was officially announced that a neutral zone kilometres (3.72 miles) wide would be established along the disputed frontier of Abyssinia and Somaliland.
 It was understood that agree ment had practically been reached on other all outstanding questions in the dispute.
 The government, it was an- nounced, notified its military gov- ernment at Uardair of it's decision to accept the neutral zone proposal, and the Abyssinian government notified it's commander at Gerlo- gubi.
 Italy accepted a proposal to al- low nomad tribesmen to cross the HSulEdt ZOIC SClt SOhoA- tions which the military command ants in the area will approve.
 The commanders will arrange procedure until all boundary disa- agreements are eliminated, it was said.
 Conversations will be continued at Addis Ababa, the Abyssinian capital, until all details regarding the neutral zone have been com pleted.
 Despite the prospect of agree ment, it was said that the govern ment would continue dispatching war material and troops to Somali- land and Eritrea since it was felt that the colonies had always been under garrisoned and the govern ment wanted sufficient troops thei c to cope with any unexpected incf- dent so as not to expose its forces to massacre at the hands of Abyssinian regular troops or mo- mads.
 There was no information whe- ther the establishment of the zone, and prospect of agreement on the general dispute, would affect the governments determination 10 strengthen it's colonial army in Somaliland and Eritrea.
 Ships were being loaded at Mes- sina and Naples.
 The disputes arose from raids by tribesmen, for which the Italian government blamed Abyssinia. A series of demands was presented including one for bareheaded salute to the Italian flag by Abys- sinian soldiers. Abyssinia denied responsibility but offered to make any honorable reparation If 1t was proved wrong. Premier Benito Mussolini backed up his demands by starting to move thousands Oi men to the colonies.
 There was an impressive demon- stration of Ialy's military pre- paredness today, when King Victor Emmanuel and Mussolini reviewed the Italian troops who went to the Saar for the piebiscite.

GREAT BRITAIN
 IS BUILDING UP
 GREAT AIRFORCE
Twenty Five SquadrOns of Planes Added to the
 Present Number
By FREDERICK KUH fUnited Press Staff COrrespOndent)

London, March 5-UP)-Twen- ty-five sauadrons of airplanes will be added to the country's fighting forces during 1885 and 1856, the government announced today in is- suing air force estimates totaling $98,O87, 300.
 The end of 1928, Lord London derry, air minister, said in issunig the estimates, the Royal Air Iorce will total 93 1-2 regular squadrons approximately 1880 planes, besides 13 non-regular squadrons for home defense.
 The non-regular squadrons will total 130 planes.
 The estimates, following upon increased army estimates and a government white paper announce ing that Great Britain must join in the European ornaments race. lent emphasis to growing reports that Britain fears the British French effort to consolidate Euro pean peace through an agreement with Germany may fail
 Todays estimates are for the fiscal year beginning April 1. They are $14.672.750 above this years.
 It was regarded as of some signi- ficance that the estimates coincided with the visit of Sir John Simon, foreign minister, to Berlin to see Adolf Hitler and his Foreign Min ister Baron Konstantin von Neu- rath.
 Soon after the estimates were is- sued, it was announced that due to a cold contracted by Hitler, the visit of Simon and Anthony Eden, Lord Privy Seal and Chief League of Nations delegate. had been in- definitely postponed. They were to leave by airplane Thursday.
 In a speech at Bristol last night regarding his visit Simon said:
 "I am most conscious of the tremendous sisues depending on the conversations about to begin. We all hope that they will prove a contribution to restoration of European confidence and World Peace"
 The sharp tone of the White Paper as regards German rearma- nent. however. gave weight to the reports that there was not a feel ing of complete optimism regard ing the change of reaching a sat isfactory agreement for controlled, legolized German rearmanent and for Germany's full return to the counsels of Europe.

Drivers who fail to report at police headquarters within A hours after their cars have been given parking tags will hereafter be mo- tified to appear in court, it was announced today by Police Supt Joseph H. Mclean. In the future, desk officers will refuse to accept the $1 fee from any driver if he reports more than "A hours after his car has been tagged, but will instead notify the orepator to ap- pear in city court next day.
 New Ruling
 In addition, the superintendent revealed today, cars which are left too long in one parking place will be lowed away, leaving the driver to pay not only for a tag but also for towing charges. One instance of the new ruling has already been recorded, according to the super ntendent.
 A car owned by Henry Gottlieb and driven by Ralph Gottlieb of 136 West Main street was parked on the north side of the green from 8:20 a. m. to p. m. Feb 2S, police said. Patrolman Richard Baldwin placed tag on the car, but both tag anl car remained in the same spot til next day. Police then had the machines lowed to a garage. Today, Gottlieb and Patrolman Baldwin both came to headquarters, and the superinten- dent supported the patrolman fully. Gottlieb paid $1 for the parking tag, and must also pay the charges for having the auto lowed away from the green.
 Delay Costly
 Too many drivers, in the opinion of the superintendent, have wait ed several days after receiving parking tags, and even then do not report at headquarters to pay

IRON-RICH FOODS
 HELP FOR HEALTH
Food Containing Copper Also Essential Daily,
 State Dept Says

Importance in the daily diet, both of children and adults, of foods containing iron and copper was stressed by the State Depart ment of Health in it's weekly bull letin today. Unless the food supply is rich in iron there is great dam ger to health, and more recent experiments have shown that cop per is also essential, the bulletin said.
 It was explained that iron is an essential part of hemoglobin which carries oxygen. to all parts of the body for the activity of all cell tissue. A baby is born with a store of iron in the body to reinforce him with this element through the first year of life, since milk is needed to protect him against anemia. This is accomplished through green and brightly colored vegetables, fruit juices and pulp, yolks of eggs and oatmeal.
 The adults need for foods con- taining iron every day is great, for reserve iron is not stored to any great extent in the body. Cop per is essential to the fixing of iron in the hemoglobin.
 To facilitate the selection of foods containing these essentials, a table of foods was provided in the bulletin, with the notation that liver is in a class by itself. four ounces furnishing three times as much iron as the best known sources listed. By selecting at least one food in each section of the table or equivalent amounts from other sections, provided some of these also contain copper, the sum total will provide the amount of iron needed each day. The foods marked (x) contain copper as well as iron. The table fol- lows:
 Foods are listed in sections ac- cording to their richness in iron, those in the first section being the richest and in the last section the poorest sources of iron. Section CD 1-2 cup cooked greens five oysters or clans (x), 1-2 cup cooked navy beans (x); CD four ounces lean beef, four ounces lean smoked ham Ia cup cooked lentils (x); (3) three tablespoons maple syrup, four dried figs (x), one tablespoon mo- lasses (x); (4) one egg, one shred ded wheat biscuit (x), 2-3 cup cooked dark farina (x); (5) one pint milk, one potato (medium) 2-3 cup fresh peas; (6) four prunes (x), Ia cup stewed rhu- barb. 20 almonds (x); CD 2-S cup cooked oatmeal (x), 1-2 cup string beans, one banana; (8) one slice whole wheat bread (x), two table, spoons seedless raisins, 1-2 cup shredded cabbage; (9) 1-4 head lettuce, three green olives, 1-2 cup carrots or beets: 10) four april cots (x), one apple, one orange Chocolate and cocoa, peaches. pea nuts and other nuts, mushrooms, and split peas are also sources of copper.
