Speculation is rife as 70 the
fate Of Chang, as nothing deRini.
te can be ascertained concerning
him. Some reports have it that h0
has been put 70 death while other
reports are TO the effect that he
is being held in prison as a guar.

naught and his predictions as 20
what Chang would do wero
treated with scorn. Il did not
take long 10 prove that Stain
was wrong, and TrotslGy right,
for one Of Chiang's first acts was
TO behead thousands Of workers

Exercises in conjunction with the celebration of the jubilee of the Blessed Sacrament church, were marked with the conclusion of the parish carnival last night after three successful evenings. The event began Friday night, continu- Ing Saturday and again last night, with a chiidren's matinee added to the activities Saturday afternoon. During last nights ceremonies Rev. Edward L.

WOMAN, lO5, IS
 BRANDING RUGS

Somerville, Mass. Sept. 29-(UP) Mrs. Abigail Persis Worthley, who was born the same year that saw the first ocomotive-drawn train in the United States, was celebrating her 105th birthday anniversary to- daly-and looking forward to her 106th.
 Open house, a turkey dinner for 20, a birthday cake with 105 candles and presentation to eight guests of rugs which Mrs. Worthley has braid- ed during the past year, were the highlights of the days program.
 Mrs. Worthley helped make her own birthday cake and assisted with arrangements for the party. Well embarked upon her second century, she has kept pace of the march of time, taking lively interest in cur- rent events and enjoying Sunday automobile rides of 100 miles or more.
 The centenarian already has be- gun braiding the rugs which she plans to present birthday guests a year from today.

member the situation when his pop ular front cabinet took office, with the then existing policy of defation condemned by the electorate.
 Unlike other countries, Blum said. France had tremendous sums of money removed from circulation by hoarding. The government found it impossible, he said, to coax the hid- den money back into the country's economic blood flog.
 At the beginning of this month 1t was obvious that the situation was not normal, Blum said, with con- hdence shaken by international events such as the Spanish Civil war and the institution of two-year compulsory military service in Ger many.
 Blum paid tribute to President Franklin D. Roosevelt for his ex- ample in, Blum said, showing the benefits of devalution.
 Blum said that the government was not forced to devalue because of its economic policy but that it took necessary step when devalu- tion seemed possible under most favorable circumstances.
 He told the chamber that Foreign Minister Won Delbos telephoned him from Geneva, where the League assembly is meeting, that statesmen there considered the French Amer can-British agreement forward step for economic peace and rap- prochement among world peoples.
 Ending his statement, Blum said that the government pledged itself to maintain order. Conflict between capital and labor, he said, brought danger of grave consequences if prolonged so that he would no long CT tolerate the stay in strikes which have been epidemic in nature. He expressed belief-a tacit warning that the workers who support the government would not oblige it to use other means than conciliation.
