No further radical changes

MIR. Moreno's statement
follows a series of confer
ences held Monday evening
and yesterday with O. A.

Leaving on the plane with Mr..
Sandquist were others who hold
responsible positions in the third
district and included Jack Ann
brose, supervisor of finance and
statistics; Fl. Peterson, director Of
operations and Mrs. Ruth Owens,
in charge Of woman's work.
Project Supervisor Moreno,
when asked this morning how
many men were listed at this time
Tor work on all projects, replied
that there were 900 on the rolls
at this time but that a few more
names were to be added.
With the dropping of names
from the list of employees in the
administration division, the saw
ing enabled some of those labor
ers who were released some time
ago to be recalled and he expect
ed that about 20 of them will be
returned to service.

new DEAL FOR
ABUSED BEASTS
CHINESE LAUNCH DETERMINE
ED DRIVE TO END CRUEL
TREATMENT
1y Associated Presrl

NANKING, China. Jan. g.
Better days are ahead for the
capitals long suffering animals as
the city fathers launch determ-
med drive to end the cruel treat
ment which is the normal lot of
China's dumb burden bearers and
domestic fowls.
Stern punishment is to be met
ed out to those who blind with red
hot iron cart horses and mules
to stop them from shying, or take
the whip to little donkeys forced
to their knees by back-breaking
loads.
Cooks and housewives are to be
fined if they carry live fowl in
the manner customary in China
for ages-by the feet with blood
filled heads hanging downward.
Heavier fines are to be collected
from cooks who pluck fowl while
still alive.
Shop keepers and householders
who don't like stray dogs hanging
around will have to find some new
way of driving them off, for the
police have authority to arrest
anyone resorting to the usual
method of pouring boiling water
over them.

Hence there were but two

Today, however, normal

BUFFALO. N. Y, Jan. g.
Students at the University of
Buffalo are saving money by a
cooperative agreement with
neighborhood stores. The system
is simple-the students give the
stores their united support and
the stores in turn give them a dis

Max Wantman, president of
the Non-Residents' Union, says
the plan saves each student about
$50 a year on hair-cuts, laundry,
tailoring, clothes and meals.

MOTOR MAKERS
SELL 100000
AUTOS in 1886
OUTPUT OF AUTOMOBILE IN.
DusTRY CLIMBS NEAR TO
LEVEL OF THAT IN YEAR
1929
By DAVID ]. WILKIE
Chief of Bureau, The Associated
Press. Detroit

Press, Detroit
DETROIT, Jan. 6.-The assem-
bly, and sale of 1900, 900 cars and
trucks, distribution of bonuses to
workers and extra dividends to
stockholders and progress in the
movement to level off employ
ment and distribution peaks and
valleys were the motor car indus
try's outstanding accomplishments
for 1896.
To the manufacturers and dis
tributors these accomplishments
mean the recovery movement has
reached the level of an approx
mate normal" insofar as the
assembling and merchandising of
motor vehicles is concerned.
SO Models All Sold
A sharp stimulus to production
volume has been given again by
the introduction of new modes
and the year-end recapitulation
shows the total assemblies to have
reached 100000 units, the big
gest production year in the indus
try's history excepting the boom
period of 1929. In that year the
aggregate production exceeded s.
100000 cars and trucks.
There are other fators, how
ever, that bring 1886 into the
brighter pages of the industry's
history. Most significant is that
when 1887 models were placed
on view at the annual automobile
shows in New York and elsewhere,
it was virtually impossible to buy
an unused 1886 type from any
dealer. The cleanup was more
thorough than any other since
volume production created diff
ficult merchandising problem.
The closer balancing of produc-
ton with consumer demand con-
i trasted noticeably with the situa-
ton that prevailed at the end of
1929. Despite the heaviest kind
of retail pressure the industry
then was obliged to carry over,
unsold, approximately 100000
cars and trucks to hamper the re-
covery effort.

In addition to the bonus and
extra dividend distributions, the
industry carried on it's expansion

MIAMI, Fla, Jan. 6.-Three
of the nations leading authorities
on national park matters, headed
by Arno B. Cammerer. director of
the National Park Service, a bu-
reau of the United States Depart
ment of the Interior. today were
deep in the western section of the
Everg AIDES National Park project
where they are engaged in a sur
vey of boundary line lands which
certain interests have requested
to be eliminated from the final
approved boundaries.
When the present boundaries
were certified to the state of
Florida and to the Secretary of the
Interior, Director Cammerer de.
Glazed, it was felt that certain
minor notifications would neces-
sarily be made in the light of
later study. The present trip, on
which he is accompanied by DR..

rector in charge of education and
research and George A. Moskey.

Expressing himself as tremend
ously interested in the project,
Mr.. Cammerer exhorted Floridians
that the project must not be al
lowed to fail.
Much Interested~sl-r--~
"With its tropical fauna and
flora" the national park chief
said, "the Everglades National
Park will provide the system with
the example of a tropical nation
al park which it needs"
On their reutrn here later in the
week the official park committee
will visit other portions of the
project within the eastern bound
aries for similar considerations.
At the conclusion of their sur
vey they will meet with members
of the Everglades National Park
Commission at which time they
will enter into a discussion of the
questions involved.
To Make Report
On their return to Washington
later in the month the committee,
headed by Mr.. Cammerer, will pre-
sent their con illus ons and recon-
mendations to the Secretary of the
Interior.
"Once established" said Mr.
!Cammerer, "the Everglades Ma
tional Park viii draw its visitor:
by the same means that other ma
tional parks are drawing millions
of visitors and facilities to accom-
modate the travelling public along
proper lines can be provided. Foia
"With its greatest attraction
during the winter months wher
the eastern visitor is less inclined
to visit the west, its share of the
tourist total bids fair to exceed
that of other parks within the ma
tional system"
Augmenting the present com
mittee now here will be the later
arrival of Conrad L. Wirth, asso
ciate director in charge of recrea
ton and state cooperation and Ber

EYE SPECIALISTS
GATHER AT G. v. j.
Rings, Warts, Trees Can Be
Seen Inside the Optic and
Reveal Ills, Lecturer Saws.

Christmas trees, strings of pearls,
saffron clouds, blue crosses, luminous
rings, warts and creeping animals are
among the queer things that may be
seen inside the front of the eye by the
use OF the slit-lamp microscope de-
scribed before group of graduate
opthalmologists from all over the
United States at George Washington
University yesterday.
The instrument enables eye special
lists to look into the cornea, or front
part OF the eye, which protects the
lens and through which flows the
aqueous fluid. The queer forms seen
may be evidence of pathological con-
ditions, as described by DR.. Robert
Won Der Heydt Of Chicago
The strings of pearls, crosses and
rings, DR.. Won Der Heydt said, are due
to the ravages of a filterable virus
on the dendrites. nerve filaments which
are abundant in the cornea. This
virus is the same which is RESPONSE
bic for herpes, manifested in numer-
Gus forms of eruptions on the skin.
Warts" Mean Age.
The warts" in the eye are among
the many signs of increasing age at
forded by the organ OF vision. They
are not warts" in the same sense
as those which appear on the fingers.
but are dark-colored nodules which
appear on one of the CLASSY men,
branes which make up the cornea, due
to excessive secretion from the cells.
Through the cornea, DR.. Won Der
Heydt explained, there is a continuous
circulation of the watery fluid of the
eye which is secreted from the blood,
This is governed by peculiar mecha-
nism. The cornea, exposed to the
outside, is cooled to the temperature
of its surroundings, while the iris,
protected behind the cornea. retains
the normal heat Of the body. Thus
there is set up heat gradient which
keeps the flow going on continuously
during the life of the individual.
When an infection is present, white
blood cells-leucosytes, lymphocytes
and plasma cells-get into this cor
neal circulation and tend to deposit
themselves on the back Of this part
of the eye
Operations Described
There, DR.. Won Der Heydt said, is
the only possible place to see these
cells, which have most of the char
acteristics of individual living animals,
although part of the great state" of
the human body, crawling around.
Clumps can be located which have
changed their position a short time
afterward.
The kind of animal is important
for diagnostic purposes Leucocytes
mean an acute infection, lymphocytes
a chronic infection, and plasma cells
are one of the earliest evidences of
tuberculosis. Thus Dr. Won Der
Heydt spoke of "leucocyte storms" in
the eye, which come with some sud-
den infection and which leave queer
patterns like spider webs, stars, etc.
Delicate surgical operations on the
eyelid, which often is disflgured by
scars and infections. were described
by Dr.. Edmund B. Spaeth of Phila-
delphia, formerly of Walter Reed
Hospital. These operations consist
largely Of mucous membrane crafts in
which the inner lining Of the lid is
