Summer 'Round-ups
 Popular In State
Parents Teachers Association Promote Programs With Success; Fl % of New School Pupils Examined

Great growth in the statewide Summer roundup" program, con- ducted in cooperation with local parents teacher associations and sim- liar organizations to give complete and dental examination to each child entering school for the first time, is to be noted in the records 'ot the past 12 years, according to a statement issued in the weekly bull letin of the state department of health. There is cause for concern, however, in the low percentage of children protected against diph- theria and smallpox by immumiza- tion and vaccination.
 226 Round Ups
 In 1888, 226 round-upS were held at which 3,476 or Fl per cent of all children entering schools in those towns holding round-ups were eX- Rmined, as againset three round-ups held in 1926 at which 94 children were examined. It is interesting to note a drop in the number of chil- dren examined this year in com- parison to the record of 1886. In 1856, 203 round-ups were held and 3,995 children examined. This drop is in accordance with the decrease In school registration which directly reflects the falling birth rate.

 CrestfaIlen, his mouth set grimly and his eyes shielded by dark glass es, Burns boarded an American Air Lines plane for California yesterday evening. He was listed on the manifest as George Williams'. As he had done all day, since he ap- peared unexpectedly before Judge William Bondy in answer to the sealed indictments, he posed for photographers but would not say a word.
 Continue on Radio
 He had been released in custody of his attorney, Col. William J. Donovan. Two other lawyers, who were with him in court, said he would continue his regular radio programs at least until next week, when he. returns, reportedly as 6 government witness, at. the trial of Chaperau and Mrs. Edgar J. Lauer, wife of New York supreme court justice who also is charged with having accepted smuggled goods.
 Although he is liable to a possible maximum sentence of IS years im- prisonment and 8 $45, 1000 fine the charges against Burns are techni- cally misdemeanors, rather than felonieS, and it was assumed that his sentence would be light, es- pecially if he provided government evidence.
 ImnIicated Burns
 Correspondence found in Chap erau's apartment had implicated Burns. The indictment naming Burns also named Chaperau and Paula Gheyskens, said to be Chap erau's wife. She was reported to be in Paris, the base of Chaperau,S held under $20,00O bond but he was to be arraigned on the new indict- ment today.
 Mrs. Lauer was to have been arr raigned yesterday but her attorney, John w. Davis, obtained a post ponement until 2 p. m. Wednesday. He said Mrs. Lauer was i'll.
 The case had come to light with raid by federal agents on Jus tice Lauer's slmptuous apartment on the afternoon of October %, and although she was indicted with Chaperau on December 5, she had not surrendered. The agents car- ried several suitcases from the Lauer apartment, packed with clothing that Chaperau allegedly smuggled from Paris to her.

to prevent smallpox have received scant attention in the past, these simple procedures have now been made routine functions at many of the round-upS. This year statistics show that only 1,474 or 42 per cent of the children examined had been immunized against diphtheria either before the roundup, at the round- up or afterwards and 90l or 25 per cent have been vaccinated against smallpox. These figures indicate much more intensive werk is neces- sary to raise the percentage of chil- diseases for which such standard dren protected against these two ized and simple procedures are avail able,

Sick and Suffering
 Are
 Learning the Truth

More and more the public is learning from experience that Health is not to be found in the Drug Bottle. For that reason, they are now turning to Chiro- practic treatments which bring back into full action the Natural Internal Health building power located within each and every ones own body. That great Power that produces growth, controls digestion, Heart action, kidney function, gland action, muscular power, etc. and etc. that same power that furnished you with daily health when you did not know what a sick day was is the only power that can restore lasting Health.
 Chronic Headache, Dizziness. Nervous and Mental Trouble, Digestive Ailments, Neuritis, Arthritis, Back Pains, Throat Trouble, Female Disorders, Con- stipation, Kidney and Bladder Weakness, Poor Blood Circula- tiOn are some of the numerous cases that office records show restored to Health.

WOMAN SOUGHT
IN FILM SLAYINC

HOLLYWOOD, July 9 Q.N.SD.
Police today called in experts from
the State Bureau of Identification
in an effort to trace ownership of
the small automatic pistol which
brought death to King D. Gray,
44-year-old film studio cameraman.
They remained firm in their be-
lief that a woman held it in her
hands when Gray's life was
Snuffed out, but they were baked
in their attempts to locate the
woman.
Gray, married and the father of
two grown sons, was found slain in
his car last week.
In his pocket was letter from
Frances Bleakley of New Castle,
Pa, which indicated, police said,
that Gray often posed as being un-
married.
Working on the theory that
Gray associated with other women
in Hollywood, police began tracing
his past activities which led them
to believe a woman was respon-
sible for this mysterious death.
Their theory was strengthened
when they received an anonymous
tip saying that a woman had
murdered Gray, but efforts to find
the woman named in the tip failed
to materialize, although detectives
announced her arrest was immi
nent,

District Commissioners to take
steps to have the unemployment
tax reduced from 3 per cent to 112
per cent.
Pointing out that the District
now has a credit of more than
$8,O00,00O in the unemployment
compensation fund, and that this
is being increased by about $780,
600 a month through payments by
employers, the association said it
feels the tax rate could be cut in
half and still provide an ample re-
serve and operating funds.
The board of governors Of the
association unanimously adopted
such a resolution. Congressional
action would be necessary.

BALTIMORE, Md, July 9.
Man has come into his own. At
least as far as the fashion de-

Next winter--if he has the
courage, the male will discard his
somber evening clothes for pink
dinner coats and maroon silk
tuXeudoes.

He will play golf in colors that
vie-if not defy-the plumage of
tropical birds by wearing bright
blue shirts and trousers, or yellow,
or green or ruSSet.
When two young men, one in
a pink dinner coat and the other
in a maroon silk tuxeudo, ap-
peared on runway in the ball
room of the Lord Baltimore Hotel
here last night, members of the

Clothing Designers a ding

in admiration.
Never, since the Revolutionary
days when men wore satins and
laces, has masculine regalia been
so gay.

Blue velvet sport clothes, pastel

fleet the light, and shirts to match

happiness in this little cottage
than I had when 1 was an heir

and wouldn't think of doing
anything to hurt him."

POLICE INCREASE.
Hope To Find Way To
Evade State Law

ROCKVILLE, Md, July 9.-De-
spite the fact an act Of the State
legislature is necessary to increase
the police force in the Bethesda
Chevy Chase area, several ways Of
accomplishing such. action were
advanced today by Montgomery
county officials.
Faced with demands made by
delegation of women from this
area for more police protection,
county officials are today plan
ming to act on the issue at the
meeting of the Board Of CommiS-
sionerS next Tuesday.
TEN ATTACKS
Stating that an emergency"
exists in the area, those seeking
an increase in policemen in the
area point out that ten attacks
have been made on women in the
area since January l.
Officials ncIlned TO meet Cne
demands point out that the COVER
nor could appoint additional con-
stables, or that the sheriff has the
power to appoint as many deputies
as he wishes.
Replying to other officials who
scout such a suggestion on the
ground such officers could be COM
penSated only under the fee SyS-
tenn which allows Is cents for each
warrant served, those in favor of
the increase explained that al
though the State law does not per-
NIT the county to increase the sal
aried force, there would be no
complaint If such action was
taken.
COUNTY HELPLESS
F. Bernard Welsh, attorney to
the county commissioners, ex-
planned the county was helpless to
appoint additional men If they
followed the State law.
Meanwhile, Bethesda police con-
tinued their search for the huge
colored man who Is believed to
have attacked several women dur
