Jerusalem, Aug. 81 (AP)-Race-torn
Palestine was nervously on edge to-
day while police and troops prepared
to quell any violent sequels to disord-
ers which caused the deaths of three
Jews and four Arabs.
There was widespread fear the out
burst yesterday presaged another
period of racial conflict and bloodshed
in the Holy Land.
The flare-up was attributed in most
quarters to the political situation OF
a country torn for years between
Jews and Arabs-a situation recently
accumulated by Britain's proposal to
partition the land into sovereign Jew
ish and Arab states.
Authorities told Palestine police and
British troops to "stand by" and
warned newspapers and others not to
attempt Indictment. Sir Arthur

1T is their business to endeavor to

London Getting Ready
for the Coronation

IRON all quarters of the earth
men and women of much, little
or no importance were focking to
London for the coronation; the dip
lomats were trying on their new
knee breeches; the peeresses were
buying wigs to make their coronets
fit more comfortably; the officials,
troops and horses were being re-
hearsed in their parts; the proprie-
tors Of parade seats were desper-
ately trying to dispose of them at
cut prices; and hotel managers and
tradeSmen of all sorts were prepar-
ing to make lots of money out of
this thoroughly commercialized af-
fair. 1t was said by steamship Of
ficials in New York that hundreds
OF Americans booked for the coro-
nation had cancelled their passages,
but despite this it was certain Lon
don would be thronged with visitors.
One most disturbing feature was
the strike of the London busmen. 1t

was filling up with visitors, and
those persons as well as hundreds
OF thousands of residents of the city
and its suburbs were compelled to
get about as best they could.

Basques and Rebels Fight
Fiercely Near Bilbao

COME of the most desperate fight
" ing of the Spanish civil war was
taking place in the struggle for Bill
bao between the sturdy Basques and
Gen. Emilio Mola's veterans, reput-
edly mostly Italians and Germans.
The insurgents had promised not
to bomb the center of the city but
bombarded its environS heavily
from the land and the air. BY fierce
attacks they broke through the
Basque lines on the Bay of Biscay
coast, reaching Bilbao's seaports at
the mouth of the Nervion river.
Disregarding the protests of Cen
eral Franco, Fascist chieftain, the
British and French governments
undertook to remove from Bilbao
large number of women and chill
dren. These refugees were taken
away by merchant vessels while
British warships guarded outside
Spanish waters. Franco maintained
Bilbao was military objective
and that neutral nations had no
right to eVacuate the civil popula-
ton as this would lift a burden from
the Basques and permit them to
concentrate on the defense of the
city.

Why Laxatives
Fail In Stubborn
Constipation

Twelve to "a hours is too long to wait
when relief from clogeed bowels and
constipation is needed, for then enor-
nous quantities of bacteria accumu-
late, causing GAS, indigestion and
many restless, sIeepless nights.
If you want REAL, QUICK RELIEF,
take a liquid compound such as Ad-
lerika. AdIerika contains SEVEN ca
thartic and carminatiVe ingredients
that act on the stomach and BOTH
bowels. Most Overnight" laxatives
contain one ingredient that acts on the
lower bowel only.
AdIerika's DOUBLE ACTION gives
your system a thorough cleansing,
bringing out old poisonous waste mat
ter that may have caused GAS pains,
sour stomach, headaches and sieepless
nights for months.
Adlerika relieves stomach GAS at
once and usually removes bowel con-
qestion in less than two hours. No
waiting for overnight results. This
famous treatment has been recon-
mended by many doctors and drug
oists for 35 years. Take AdIerika one
half hour before breakfast or one hour
before bedtime and in short while
YOU will feel marvelousy refreshed.

hat under the chin.
