SHANGHAI. Aug. -. (UPl -
Japanese today Strovc vigorously
to avoid a new diplomatic conflict
with the United States while their
armies drew a gradually tighten
ing moose of men and steel around
China'S provisional capital i'm Han
kOw.
The dispute with the United
States grew out Of the refusal
of Vice Admiral KoShiro OTTAWA,
commanding the Japanese ASiatic
fleet. 10 permit the L. S. gunbOat
HangtSe river from kjukjang to
Shanghai. thus breaking the Japa-
neSe blockade of the international
stream above the port Of Wuhu,
near Marking.
Rear Admiral Harry f.. Narnell,
commanding the L. S. ASiatic
fleet, who had notified the Japa-
neSe that the Monocacy would
make the trip 10 replcniSh sup
plies, yielded to the Japanese only
after the dispute had been re
ferrcd TO the state department in
Washington by American embassy
officials in Hankow, according to
reliable reports.
American officials still were
keeping the question open. how
ever. and diplomats here saw the
possibility of the greatest strain
on Japanese American relations
since the sinking Of the L. S. gun
boat Panay by Japanese bombing
planes in the YangtSe last Deem
Der.
The United States has not yield
ed on her contention that Amerl-
can ships have a right to go any
where their commanders may de
sire, it was said, and eventually
Washington may press for Japa-
nese recognition of the American
contention that any blockade
against American ships is illegal.
In Shanghai Norman KeyeS. %,
son of Major P. II. Keys. retired,
of the British army, was shot and
killed by Chinese guerrillaS who
attacked a Japanese outpost on

national Settlement. Keys was in
bed when the fighting started
shortly before | a. m. and was
struck by machine gun bullets
which tore through his fathers
home. The guerrillaS were re
pulsed after a sharp engagement.
Hankow reported that Il Japa-

bombs on the Chinese Central air

WASHINGTON. Aug. %. (UP)
President Roosevelt'S campaign to
send Rep. John J. O'Connor, D..
n. Y, chairman of the powerful
house rules committee, to the po-
litical guillotine, may touch off a
history-making struggle for con-
troll of the house leadership next
session, it was believed today.
Numerous congressman, back in
the capital awaiting the Novem-
her elections, predict privately
that if O'Connor can counterfeit
the presidential purge and win re-
election, he will be thrust into the
leadership of a conservative DEM
ocratic- Republican coalition which
may have life and death power
over future new deal legislation.

At first he sat facing the water.
After a while he changed his po-

IN the water where it covered the
lower part of that old log.
Snap! With a squeal of pain and

Something was holding him by his

dreadful thing had got him. He
pulled and. pulled until it seemed
to him that he must pull his tail
out by the roots. Finally he twisted

Bedtime Stories
By THORNTON W. BURGESS

The stranger had visited the Smil-
Ing Pool as he had been doing for
more than a week. Jerry Muskrat
had kept right ON working on his
mouse. All the time he had kept a
bright eye on the stranger to see
what he was doing. AS usual the
stranger visited each of Jerrys
favorite eating places. 1t seemed
to Jerry that he was at each a
little longer than usual, but Jerry
didn't think anything of that.

stepped in that trap and been
caught by a leg. AS it was, he had
accidentally sprung it with his
tail. Being caught by the tail was
bad enough, but it would have been
worse to have been caught by a
leg, though Jerry didn't stop to
think of this at the time. So far
as he could see it didn't make any
difference how he was caught as
long as he was caught.

Jerry had grown careless and was

Nationals stage.
Miss Farmer needs no detailed
introduction to Washingtonians,
although this will be her first
appearance here in person. She
has been seen in half a dozen
motion pictures and was well on
her way to eminence on the
screen when she quit Hollywood
to join the starless Group.
She was born in Seattle,
Wash, and educated at the Uni
versity of Washington. She won
a popularity contest conducted
by a newspaper in Seattle, took
a tour around the world and re-
ceived the usual screen test.
She married Left Erikson, screen
actor, and her best picture was
"Ebb Tide"
Thus far Miss Farmer fol.
lowed the conventional pattern.
But she preferred to be an
actress rather than a shadowy
glamour girl, and knew that the
best place for training is on the
stage. In joining the Group

fession, she departed widely
from Hollywood custom.

place in his personal gallery
of cinematographic h ev E.
ment. Some of his shots are
masterpieces.
1t seems to me that The
Great Waltz" captures not only
the music. but the spirit of the
period. Old time Vienna, with
its gayety and hearts that beat
to music. with its unrest that
brought Emperor Franz Joseph
to the throne, with its COM
poser Johann Strauss, who
found more trouble adjusting
his love affairs than he did in
writing enduring tunes.
Getting back to Militia Kor-
jus. She sings most of the songs
threaded through the romantic
narrative. If you listen closely
you will hear Tales of the
Vienna Woods" "There'll Come
a Time" "At the Monastery"
You and You" "One Day
When We're Young" I'm in
Love With Vienna" and, Of
course, the immortal Blue
Danube" Ballet music from
Die Fledermaus" and Artists
Life" are purely symphonic con-
tributions.
SKILLED DIRECTION
Prime Donna Korjus, besides
the vocal equipment, manages to
be a most alluring camera sub
ject, as she moves through the
action in graceful dance, and
carries her share of the heart
interest. In all, most flatter-
ing American debut.
The lyrical love unfolded in
wolves Luise Rainer and Fernand
Gravel, and is, more or less, one
of conventional conflict. It yields
frequently to the art of waltzing,
grabs hold in the last 80 min
utes to afford Miss Rainer her
best chance at emotional act
ing, and Gravel an opportunity
to clinch his hit.
A long cast of good principals
has been admirably directed by
Julian Duvivier, who is par
ticularly clever with mass move
ment, and brilliant in spectacle
scenes.

Fire Warning.

The occurrence of three fires here
during the past three weeks has pro-
vided the occasion for warning
from Herb Johnson, fire chief, that
the time is at hand for a cleanup
throughout this community.
Though these fires were caused by
other sources than rubbish accumula-
tons, this a a frequent cause of de-
structive fires. During the long win
ter, it is natural for piles of debris
to accumulate in hidden corners. To
avoid danger, these should be re-
moved
The fire chief, called attention, also
to the need for an outdoor cleanup
Ash heaps, rubbish piles, dry weed
patches, etc, all constitute fire haz-
ards as well as eyesores. They should
be cleaned up and hauled away for
the safety as well as for the beauti-
fication of the town.

Dental Care Needed.

The Pine County Advisory COM
mittee met at the county nurses
office in Hinckley Wednesday, April 6.
There were seven of the committee
present. There were several subjects
discussed but none will be acted on
until later date. Miss Marion Krog-
dahl, county nurse, will teach class
of Pine county boys in hygiene one
week at the Yellowbanks camp dur
ing their summer vacation at the
camp. A subcommittee of the adj
visory board is to be appointed and
its duty will be to report any sick
cases to the county nurse. The pur-
pose is to locate any epidemic be-
fore it spreads. The nurses's work
during the past 10 weeks conferred
about the control of communicable
diseases and school inspections. Five
thousand persons were vaccinated in
the campaign against smallpox.
So far 1882 children have been in
spected and the predominant prob
lem is that of dental care. Neglect
of the teeth causes much pain and
results in absence from school. Teeth
may decay so badly that no amount
of care in later life can make them
sound or attractive. Infected teeth
may be a serious menace to general
health. The child needs good teeth
to chew his food properly. The first
permanent teeth, "the six-year mol
arS' are known as the guide posts
of the dental arch. Much can be said
about the teeth. A nursing project
under the direction of the state has
been instituted in Pine county One
woman has been assigned and it is
hoped that more will soon be added
to this service. Total expenditures
for county nursing from January Is
to March 81 amounted to S44648.
Mr.. and Mrs. Grant Thompson and
two children and her brother, c..
Harland Goring, former residents
here, moved Tuesday to Pine City
where they will have charge of a
c. Thomas Food Store which will be
located in the Ben Boo building
across the street from the Family
Theatre. They will open about April
Is. Harland has been employed in
one of these stores in Minneapolis
the past two years. The Thompsons
have been at Yellowbanks until Feb
ruary 8, of this year. They will
make their residence in one of the
G. G. Ives houses.
