 A year ego, In Chicago, tho con. ventlon approved tho oxford pledge --atl oath not Co support the United States tin any war it may uSider- tako"--but c strong group led by Joseph P. Lash, executive secretary was making gains in Q campaign to have this years convention repu- dlat0 the pledge. A vote on the issue probably will bO taken tomorrow, After much debate, during which the students did their best to evAde the issue--they succeeded in re- training from mentioning tho pledge by naine.--the conventions "peaoe commission" approved Q report sub- mitted by Lash, which asserted that the pledge had become "valueless in the present ciroumstanees."
 Keep Out of War
 "0ur concern" said Lash, "Is to keep America out Of war; this do. snands Q positive peace policy now. The oxford pledge talks fatAllstie. ally about what we will do when war comes. Our concern b with how to prevent war from spreading; how to maintain the peace we have; how to restore tho peace that has been shattered by fascist aggres- sion. The oxford pledge demobil- ises this immediate struggle for peace"
 Back Loyalist Spain
 The 300 delegates were united, however, in support of Loyallst Spain and denuncintion of Japan, Many of the girls wore lisle stock. ings In response to Lash's plea to "wear llsie for Q while" to boycott Japanese silk. Although the d0lo- gates were agreed that they wanted to aid the spanAh Loyalists, they were in violent disagreement over how they should do it. one difl. culty was that almost every shade of political opinion to the left of center was represented among tho delegates Th0ro were New Dealers, farmer. .laborites, etalin communists, T'rotsky communists, and communs iStS who agree with neither etaiin nor Trotsky. Apparently Ropubli. cans were as scarce as llpsticks among tho girl delegates.

 MT. Roosevelt revealed at his press conference yesterday that he planned, in view Of his growing concern" over world events, to ask for the construction Of soine addi- tional warshipg, over and above those provided h the regular naval appropriation bill. The regular bill provides for starting construction during thB fiscal year on two addl. tional battieships Of 3B,000 tons each two light cruisers, eight destroyerA and six submarines.

 The United States k now built up to treaty" limits on heavy cfuiserA and Airplane carriers, and needs only two light cruisers to reach treaty limits in this category. These two cruisers arc provided in the regular naval supply bill for the coming fiscal year.
 Since the budget figures were made up some time ago, President Roosevelt said in c letter to ChaiFs fnan Edward T. Taylor, Democrat Colorado. Of the House Appropria. tions Committee, that world events have caused mo growing concern.

 It was understood that measures to break the stsike would Do eti. nouneed after an emergency cabinet meeting this afternoon. Meantime Minister of Interior Marx DorFaoy conferred with General Georges DourrOt, commanding tho Paris garrison, on measures to Do taken by tho army to break tho strike.

Acute Abdominal Pain
May Be Appendicitis

case of generalized peritonitis
which ever recovered in a New
York hospital. This was back in
the nineties.
At about that time the appendix
as a cause of these troubles was
recognized, and the term perity-
phlitis was changed to appendici-
tbs. Even then, when it was known
that surgery could remove the ap-
,pendix, the mortality was go per
cent. In those far days, some sur
geon had the brilliant idea of irri-
eating the abdomen. This reduced
the mortality to about so per cent,
.ane then they found that if they
let nature pretty much alone and
didn't try to do too much washing
out or put in too big drainage, OPP
Grated early and simply, their NOR
tally fell to about per cent.
Appendix Subject to Infection
The appendix is small piece Of.
intestine lined with lynphoid It's
sue like the tonsil and very subject
to infection, especially in the
Young. 1t is the rule as age ad-
vances for the appendix to afro
phy, which accounts for the small
err percentage of cases in people
after middle age.
When the lymphoid tissue OF the
appendix becomes infected with
germs, it produces pus. The i'm
portant thing is to keep the pus
inside the appendix, and prevent it
from perforating into the portion
cum. The whole difference between
an early and late case, between
a simple disease and a disease OF
great danger, is just this partlcu.
lar matter. Of course, the ideal
thing is to remove the appendix
with it's pus by surgical operation.
If this can be done early, while
the patient is in good condition.
there is no disease that is more
easily recovered from, but all TOO
frequently the condition is allowed
to run along until it is too late ZOE
operation to be safe.

BIRTH RECORDS
ARE IMPORTANT
Health Dept. Kept Busy
Answering Many
Inquiries

Some idea of the extent to
which birth certificates are used
to establish identity, to prove eli
tizenship to obtain work papers,
or to confirm claims of various
sorts, can be gatherd, according
to DR.. Robert H. Riley, director of
the Maryland State Department of
Health, from the fact that be-
tween 700 and 500 inquiries con
corning such records are handled
every month by the Bureau of vi
tai Statistics an average of thirty
daily During the three months
which ended June 80 of the cur
rent year, figuE Res FURNISHED by
DR.. a. w. Hedrich, chief of the
Bureau of Vital Statistics, show
that the number of such inquir-
les reached a total of 2,435. In adj
dition, 1875 applications were re-
ceiVed for certified copies of birth
records. for various legal re-
Quirements.
Requests for such information
have steadily increased, DR.. He'd
rich pointed out since the World
War. Here in Maryland, they
nave more than tripled in the last
ten pears. In 1928 approximately
1000 such requests were received
by the Bureau. Last year-1936-
over 1000 Inquiries concerning
birth records were handled.
What are known as certified
copies, that is, complete trans
cflpt1ons of the record are requir-
cd Tor legal papers, passports and
o1ner uses. For the majority of
other uses, condensed but authori-

In a great many instances, the
