MRS. ROOSEVELT
ASKS CHINA AID
Urges American Citizens to
"kdopt One Human Being"
at $1.25 a Month.

A plea for American citizens 10
adopt one human being" in China by
contributing $1.25 a month to the
China Relief Fund was delivered by
Mrs. Roosevelt last night in a radio
program arranged by the American
Red Cross.
The Red Cross has been notified by
the American Advisory Committee in
Shanghai that the sum Of $l.25 will
feed. clothe, shelter and give medical
aid to one Chinese civilian for one
month.
1T is hard for us to visualize what
war means today to a civilian popu-
latlon," Mrs. Roosevelt said, but
when we realize that in Shanghai,
Hankow and Marking areas alone
10000, 900 people are affected, we can
translate that into what it would
mean right here in our own country
if we had refugees pouring into our
cities from comparatively small areas,
having left their homes and fields and
having nothing to live on.
1T seems to me that when you
think Of the Chinese. largely an agri-
cultural nation, and realize that their
crops are left to rot in the fields,
that there will be no new crops plant
ed, you can get some idea in thinking
of your own country and what that
would mean here. as to what it must
mean to the civilian population of
China" Mrs. Roosevelt continued.
She said Americans ARE very for
tunate in these days when, in various
parts of the world, there is much
suffering brought by war. I think
that We, in our gratitude for the fact

alton Acts on Call That
Public Awake.

Adequate laws to stamp out the
numbers racket In the District were
requested last night in a resolution
passed by the Friendship Citizens
Association, which at the same time
urged that the public give its moral
support to the agencies attempting to
drive out the lottery.
Samuel j. Flickinger, president Of
the organization, declared that the
numbers operators here are able to
operate almost unmolested under the
present laws, and predicted that if
they are allowed to continue 1t would
lead to widespread vice and corruption
in the city. The public, he said,
should be awakened to the dangers
of permitting this type Of gambling
In which even children of school age
can participate with their lunch
money.
The district attorneys Office is
doing the best it can with the present
inadequate regulations, he said, but
1T cannot drive out the criminals and
murderers until Congress gives us the
type OF laws we need and want to
clean out the game and those con-

Varying Manuscripts of
Arabian Nights Recalled

The Arabian Nights, CT the Book
Of the Thousand and One Nights, Is
an extensive and remarkable col
lection of tales, forming an impor-
tant part of Arabic literature.
The Nights we're first made known
to Europe by Antonio OAKLAND, a
French orientalist, who obtained
manuscripts in the East, says a
writer in the Cleveland Plain Deal
er, supplemented them with tales
taken from the lips of professional
story-tellers and published his col
lection in IL volumes between 1704
and l717. The stories were trans
lated from his French into many
other languages and thus became
widely known.
Though the authenticity Of the
tales, as published by Galland, was
at first doubted by European schol-
ars, ample substantiation has been
supplied since, and many widely
varying manuscripts of the Arabian
Nights have been found.
Tracing their ultimate origin has
been more difficult. The great va
riety Of the manuscripts is due to
the gradual growth Of the collection,
undoubtedly contributed to by many
tale tellers and in different centers.
Certain references in old eastern
writer's indicate that the framework
and the earliest tales are Of
Persian origin.
Internal evidence has led scholars
to believe that some thirteen of the
stories were committed to writing
as early as the Tenth century, and
may have been extant long before
that. The collection as a whole IL
assumed to have taken a definite
shape in the Thirteenth century,
while there are a few tales which
may be as late as the Sixteenth CEN
tury.

Over 100 st.
PauEteS Take
MantOuX Test

A total of 125 persons reported
for Mantoux tests, a medical meth
cd of determining the presence of
tuberculosis, this week, at the
Halle Q. Brown House where facil-
tiles were made available by the
Ramsey County Public Health AS
ISOLATION.
Results of the tests will be avail
able following readings of them to-
night friday. Also there will be
public meeting at the same time
when DR.. W. A. Dovorak will speak
at 8 p. m. on Dental Hygiene.
The next tests given will be on
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday
of next week, beginning at z p. m.
All tests are given by DR.. J. W.
Crump of the Health Week Com
mittee, with the assistance of Miss
Margaret Turpin, registered nurse.
The test itself is given by APP
plying a harmless liquid called
tuberculin in the upper surface of
the skin. The spot caused by the
liquid soon disappears and leaves
no mark or scar.
If the spot becomes red within
two days it might mean that tuber-
culosis germs are lodged some
where in the individuals body. It
does not necessarily mean that the
person has an active case of the
disease or ever will have.
According to sponsors of the
testing, only an X-ray examination
can tell whether the germs are few
or many or whether they are caus-
ing any damage. Persons with
positive reactions to the test should
have X-rays so that an early in
lection may be discovered before
any serious damage is done.
