NANKING. September 28-Dimitri
v. Bogomoloff, the Soviet ambassador

what was believed to be vital mission
affecting Russia's position in the Sino-
japanese war.
The Russian ambassador left aboard
a special Eurasia air liner for a direct
flight to Moscow after raiding Japa-
nese warplanes had been driven off
by Chinese pursuit planes before they
could damage their military objec-
tives.
Bogomoloff was flying the north
western route and was expected to
reach the Russian capital in four days
for an important conference on the
future Soviet course.
Russia has declared Japan's re-
peated bombardments of Nanking to
be illegal" and warned Japan she
would be held fully responsible for
any injury to Soviet citizens or prop
erty. The Soviet warning was believed
to be in response to a Chinese appeal
for aid.
The feet of 80 raiding japanese
planes bombed the military airdrome
on the outskirts of Marking for II
minutes before Chinese pursuit craft
rose to the attack. In apparent reac-
ton to foreign protests against bonn.

River Reservoir

ia river near New Ulm. much
discussed matter in the days
when floods were real menace
IN the low places near here, may

The conference was called to
give representatives from cities
and villages along the river
chance to bring first hand infor-
nation to members of the war de-
partment engineering staff.
Dwight Jones, war department
engineer, presided.
Only the fact that no New Ulm
representatives were present at
the meeting prevented further
discussion of the proposed reser-
Volr, but Mr.. Jones indicated that
the plan will be considered on the
basis of testimony submitted by
those present at the meeting.

The project was first discussed
in 1921, but nothing was heard of
it during the dry years that fol-
lowed. Mankato was the worst
hit by floods in this particular
section last spring.

School Children
Are Bigger Now

School children of 1897 are tall
er and heavier than the school
children of fifty years ago.
This fact is cited as concrete
evidence of what modern child
care has done for children of to-
day. 1t is based upon an inter-
esting comparison made by the
United States Office of Education
recently between a study of Bos-
ton school children in 1875 ard
the children of the large cities of
Maine, Vermont, New Hampshire
and Massachusetts made a few
years ago by the United States
Public Health Service.
The Boston children of the '7O's
were slightly older than the chill
dren studied by the Public Health
Service and should therefore have
been a little taller and heavier
than the latter group. The study
showed, however, that today's
children at all ages from six to
fourteen have increased markedly
IN height and weight. For boys.
the average increase was 0.97 in
ches; for girls, LOB inches. The
average increase in weight was
Las pounds for boys and 3.75
pounds for girls.
The fear, often expressed, that
the race may be enfeebled be-
cause so many frail babies who
would have died in the '70's are
being saved as result of modern
medical advances in child care, is
therefore obviously without foun-
dalton. The feeble babies are
growing up with the normal ones
to sturdier childhood than any
of them enjoyed in 1875.

ReSentS Intrusion

Hector-Tony, Mexican, who

Justly so. His complaint lies in
the fact that buns coming to Hec-
tor are trying to occupy his
quarters and shove him out in the
cold.
Tony has priority rights, hav-
ing lived in the town hall for two
years. He figures that he pays, at
least in part, for his lodging there
by shoveling off the sidewalk in
front of the hall something which
the intruding hoboes certainly
don't do.
They sit around the fire and
toast their toes while Tony is out
shoveling the walk, and when he
comes in, they tell him to haul
out the ashes and then beat it.

and those called on the home
team, in the last half here Friday
night.
Two field goals, one right after
another in the first minute of
play by Russ Lauterbach, who
dropped in seven field goals out
of only ten attempts, put the
locals ahead 4 to O. Asleson add
ed another two points and the
first quarter ended 60.
Lauterbach was the only per-
son on the floor who did any
scoring the second quarter MAX
ing six points for the home team
with two fairly long shots and
one right under the basket. The
whole team however played air
tight basketball, every member
doing well on both defense and
offense. The half ended IL to a
goose egg for the Brown county
team.
jain broke the ice for the
visitors shortly after the start of
the second half finally putting
one through the hoop to make the
score 1872. Lauterbach retaliat-

must have liked the thrill of
basket making brought the count
to 1877 as the third quarter end
ed. Russ initiated the final quart
er with a pretty shot, and dimin-
tive forward Farver who was
playing a heads-up game looped
one through the hoop to make it
22-7. Asleson re-entered the
game in place of Starr, and
Springfield counted their last
points, a field goal by Werring.

the loop for two points, Ross Lus-
