Crack formation is marked by

The land, located a short dis

tails they are acquainted with,

The departments pig expert

The investigation was start

from Whiteh0use, NJ. in a let

(which way does a pigs tail
curl, and is 1t always the same

ARMED GUARDS
RUSH TO AID
U.S.S.R. EMBASSY
Fear Attack By White
Russians in Pay
OF japanese

PEIPING, Aug. II. (UP)
-Detachments of the en-
bassy guards of five nations
including the United States,
were rushed to the Russian
embassy today upon receipt of re-
ports that White Russians, alleged
ly in japanese pay, might raid the
building.
United States marines and de-
tachments from the British, French,
italian and japanese embassy
guards were serving in relays OF
four men from each unit SO that
20 picked men were ready at al
times at the Russian compound
Heavy guards also were sent to
all gates of the embassy quarter,
the marines guarding the southwest
gate opposite the United States
embassy compound.
The counselor of the Russian en-
bassy had notified the foreign dip
lomatic corps that dozen White
or anti-Soviet Russians, belonging
to a gang that raided the Russian
consulate general at Tientsin re-
Gently, were on their way to Pei
ping.
Reports were received that all
White Russians in the Peiping area
had been formed into a close knit
unit ready for action.
1t was said that the leader OF
the new White guard was the alta
man of chieftain Gregory Seme-
nov, czraist Russian general, once
a dreaded Cossack leader who was
active in the Russian Civil War,
Gigantic in stature, of ferocious
countenance, with a dagger pointed

Japan Army Launches

CAPTURE CHINA
POSITIONS IN
NANKOW PASS
Chinese Resistance on
One Flank Reported
To Be Broken

CHANGING, North Chi
ma, Japanese Headquarters,
Aug. II. (UP)-The Impe-
rial japanese army today
launched a smashing attack
On strong Chinese forces defend
ing the historic Nankow Pass thru
which the Peiping- Suiyuan railway
leads from the flat plains of north
China into the mountains along the
Great Wall.
The city of NankoW COR Nankou
as it often is spelled, with its rail-
way yards, was in flames, but had
not been occupied.
Japanese said, however, that they
had captured Chinese positions
fronting the Pass and in the inn
mediate outskirts of the city de-
spite stiff Chinese resistance.
Our troops have broken the
Chinese resistance on one flank,
it was asserted. "On the opposite
flank the Chinese position became
untenable, although their soldiers
were resisted strongly all day, and
tonight the Chinese retreated on
this front.
Our scouts report the Chinese
cavalry units back of NankoW are
retreating.
The Chinese have dynamited the
railway in three places"
Chinese were entrenched across
the rocky bed of the Sha river
which flows down from Mongolia
through the Pass, and were astri3e

HELIU M GAS
DISCOVERED IN
BAKER SFIELD
Limited Supply of Gas
Makes Find Great
Achievement

BAKERSFIELD, Cal.
Aug. IL. (UP)-Discovery of
helium gas, now produced
commercially only in Texas,
was reported today on the
claims of Mrs. Josie Bishop in Red
Rock canyon where rich findings
of radium were brought to light
recently.
The fact that helium is believed
to be a gas resulting from the
final stages of disintegration OF
radium led local minerologists to
place credence in the report.
The extremely limited supply OF
helium makes the new discovery.
il substantiated, one of the major
scientific achievements of the year,
The extent of the deposit is UNI
known but Prof. Harry Condor. q
Geologist making his headquarters
in the Red Rock district, today
confirmed Mrs. Bishops claims that
the gas has been found.
The scientific world was as
founded a week ago wen Mrs.
Bishop produced proof that radium
had been found on her 81 acres of
land which assayed at 100 milli-
grams of radium per ton, an ex-
tremely high content. At such q
figure, the pitchblend ore would
be worth $1,000 per ton. There are
also silver deposits on the land
assaying up to $685. per ton.
