SCHOOL CLINIC
WORK IS TO BEGIN
Dr.. Mitchell, Health Off
Ger, Announces Schedule
of Examinations

DR.. 4. P. Mitchell, city-county health
officer, announced today a schedule
for the holding of pre-school-age
clinics for children who will start to
school next fall for the first time. The
schedule includes all white schools of
the city and county.
The clinics will be started on next
Tuesday, April II, at Clarke Street
school, where DR.. Mitchell and his as
slstants will be on hand at 1870 p. m.
DR.. l. Fl. Hoyle will attend as many
of the clinics as possible, Dr. Mitchell
stated, and will examine the teeth and
mouths of the children
Any health defects observed will be
explained to parents, and recommen-
dations made for treatment where
such is needed, it was stated.
1t is hoped to have the children
starting to school in the fall in the
best possible condition of health, and
it is for this reason that the clinics
are being held somewhat earlier than
usual, so that there will be plenty of
time for any treatment of children
that may be found necessary.
Starting on next Tuesday, the clinic
schedule continues through Monday,
April 81, which will take the doctors
to all of the white schools of the city
and county.
The schedule announced by DR..
Mitchell today is as follows:
Clarke Street school, Tuesday, April
IA, 1870 p. m.
West End school, Wednesday, April
Is, 1870 p. m.
Central school, Thursday, April 16,

 Service. The Case of the Virginius There are always plenty of men ready to follow the trail of wild adventure, the kind who don't fit into the peaceful monotony of hum-drurn life.
 Just how many lie in unknown graves in Cuba will probably never be known until the last trumpet shall sound the great reveillie. They sleep well in the island of tranquil delights. One of them, Colonel Theodore O'Hara, who was wounded at the battle of Car denas, while in command of Q regiment of Cuban patriots wrote their epitaph: "The neighing troop, the flashing
 blade,
 The bugle's stirring blast The charge, the dreadful cannon

So there are many graves or American heroes who are not re- corded on bronze tablets, whose resting place is not marked with bronze government markers, who sleep in foreign soil, some in the Foreign Legion, in the Africas and wherever the sun rises and sets. They belonged to the class known as "Soldiers of Fortune" They fought for liberty and perhaps for the universal brotherhood Of man and the ultimate millennium.

Madrid, June 9.-(UP)-Authori- ties believed today they had smashed two extremist plots for a national revolt by a series of raids all over the capital.

Presiden- tial guards, in other raids, seized arms and ammunition from royalist quarters. Authorities believed that the left wing plot was planned by the syndicalist national confedera- ton of workers.
