Chang kai-shek the same assistance
it has been giving the Spanish loyal

The hurried departure Of the So
Wet Ambassador at Marking to put
before the Moscow rulers some con-
crete suggestions is 4 spectacular de-
velopment, but only the obvious result
Of several weeks negotiations.
Ever since the representatives OF the
Chinse generalissimo signed an agree
ment with Moscows representatives At
Urga, capital Of Outer Mongolia, con-
versations have been carried on be-
tween Nanking and Moscow as to the
best means Of assisting China in her
struggle against Japan.
Formal Alliances Obsolete.
While formal military alliances be-
tween countries are now obsolete, it Is
believed that an agreement of mutual
assistance patterned on the Rome Ber-
lin axis or on the German japanese
understanding to fight communism
has been agreed upon between China
and the U. 8. S. r.

with war material and the necessary

According TO the Estrada doctrine,

would be tantamount to infringement
on its sovereignty.

really a bit confused regarding his
whereabouts. When Elmer Marquardt
arrived at Huxley, Iowa, where he was

badly damaged that he had to sell the

Mr.. Marquardt had received a letter
from the creamery at Huxley, Iowa
stating that he had been hired to take
charge of the creamery. When he ar
rived the creamery directors were in
the midst of a wrangle in which the
whole community was taking sides. AS
result the board reversed itself, the
secretary resigned, the old buttermaker
was retained, patrons protested, and
Elmer returned. An attorney, to whom
the case was turned over, found that
the minutes of the secretary of the
board indicated that members had voted
to hire Marquardt; that the secretary
had been instructed to inform him of
the fact, had done so, and had received
his written acceptance.

Stump Blasting is

Winnebago-While blasting Stumps
Oh the H. S. Muir farm a mile and half

ment explosive let go with a terrific
blast and resulted in trees and stumps
being blown high into the air and about
100 feet of the 20-foot embankment
sliding into the river which divides two
farms. -Four of the trees fell in such
a manner, that, lying across the river
they resemble group of Roman num-

powder used in the Boulder Dam con-
struction was being tried. Whether the

plosive, or placed the containers top
side down, no one was able to explain
A ridge of the trees stood between the
stumps and river bank, and when the
dry storage batteries which controlled
the firing of the explosives were turned
on, the conclusion split wide crevice
in the ground and the embankment
settled in the river bottom with a
rumble like distant thunder.

WPA Workers Test
Gasoline Sam pies.

A WPA research project on the
campus of the University of Minnesota
is conducting varied tests to determine
the properties of different grades of
trade-marked gasoline and oils. -Four
graduate chemists and chemical en-
gineer are working under the direction
of Professor B. j. Robertson. They are
assisted by several Federal Aid students
In a report to Victor ChriStgau, state
WPA administrator, E. SolSnesS, pro-
ject supervisor, says that the purpose
is to determine whether oil and gas
sold by retail stations conform to
established standards. They also are
determining if quality and uniformity
of these products vary from month to
month, or seasonally, and if retail price
represents fair charge to the motor
ing public.
at is not the aim of the project to
be able to present the public with in
formation as to which is the best gas
or OIL" Mr.. Solsness says. I'm fact, il
seems there is no such thing. For one
grade or brand may be best for certain
service while another product may eX-
Gel under different conditions. But is
is felt that the result Of this work will
enable major producers as a whole to
offer better and more uniform fuels and
lubricants to the public"

Skin Troubles May Be
Due to Beauty Lotions.

If you have an eruption of your
scalp, eyelidS, cheeks, lips, neck areas,
bestow a thought upon your face pow
der or your scalp lotion, your creams,
soaps, perfumes or toilet waters.
Physicians are taking an increasing
interest in these articles these days, ac-
cording to the Public Health Education
Committee of the Minnesota State
Medical Association, because they are
finding good many stubborn skin
troubles are nothing more nor less than
cosmetic dermatitis, a new trouble that
has been appearing frequently in the
medical news these days.
An important paper will be read
about it before Northwest doctors at
the Minnesota State Medical Associ-
alton meeting in st. Paul, May 3, 4,
and 5, and there will be an exhibit
from the United States Public Health
Service on the subject, also.
The Public Health Education Com
mittee of the Medical Association calls
attention to this section of the program
in order to emphasize the importance
of scrutinizing your cosmetics, if you
have skin trouble
1t may be preparation that you
have used for years that is causing the
trouble. Sometimes a newly manu-
factured lot of a preparation that pre-
viously gave no trouble at all will pro-
duce inflammation.
In any case the presence of an
eruption that does not heal is a sign
that something is wrong-and that
something may easily be your favorite
face cream or shaving lotion.

To offset the higher highway expense
