RUMANIA KING
 KILLS THEM OFF
King Carol Ans wers Thr e a t By Arresting, Shooting All His Enemies
By FERDINAND JAIN United Press Staff COrreSpondent)

Bucharest, Rumania, Dec. 1-CUP) King Carol II answered a threat of assassination today by ordering the arrest of all members of the Fascist anti Semitic Iron Guard whose "Fuehrer" and 13 high lead CTS were slain by prison guards yesterday.
 Revenge asSaSSinationS of high government officials were consider ed to be more than mere possibili- ties and suspected members of the outlawed organization were being rounded up throughout the country. The king met with members of the cabinet and sanctioned the most severe oppressive measures.
 Gendarmerie were told that they might dispense with the form re- quired by law, or in other words shoot to kill" if they met with re- SiStance.
 Severe Measures
 These severe oppressive measures were decreed after the distribution of an iron guard pamphlet, person. ally addressed to the King which offered him a Hast choice" It said:
 Your majesty: Either you make your peace with the Rumanian na- tion or we must find another solu- tion." This was interpreted as 8 threat against Carols life.
 The pamphlets were distributed from house to house in Bucharest as it became known that Cornelius Zellea Codeanu, Roumania's Little Hitler" had been killed, allegedly while attempting to escape from prison guards.
 According to the official version Codreanu and 12 other Iron Guard leaders were being conveyed in open trucks from the prison at Ramnicu- Sarat to Bucharest when shots were fired from wood.
 Guards Kill Them All The prisoners, all under long sentences for reason, made an effort to escape, officials reported, and the guards opened fire, killing every one.
 Recent anti-Semitic disorders had been interpreted in official circles as prelude to an Iron Guard cam paign of terrorism against the gov- ernment involving grave jeopardy to the king.
 This was climaxed two days ago by an attempt to assassinate Dr. Francis Stefanescu- Goanga, rector of Cluj University, an "Aryan" but an enemy of the Iron Guard.
 Governors Sentenced
 Likewise two provincial governors were sentenced to death" by the Iron Guard national tribunal" Members of the cabinet and other high officials also received letters, threatening their lives.
 The exact strength of the Iron Guard is unknown. It claims l. 100000 followers and the general elections 8 year ago it boiled 450,- 900 votes of total of 2,500,000.
 Particularly anxiety was felt be- cause of it's strength in the Tran sylvania and Bucovina districts. Rumania obtained the formerfrom Hungary after the war and the lat ter from Bulgaria.
 During the recent remaking of boundary lines in Central Europe agitation for the return of Tran sylvania and Bucovina was grown in Hungary and Bulgaria.

GIRL IS TURNED
 OVER TOFATHER

Detroit, Dec. = U.PO - John D. Reid was en route to his Chest nut Hill, Mass, home today, his, H. year-old daughter Jane restored to him by a judge who ruled that the bond of blood is stronger than that of friendship.
 The decision was not an easy one for Jane but finally, with tears streaming down her face, she said goodbye to her foster mother and left for a new life with a father she never knew. Judge Joseph A. Mur- phy had ruled that Reid was the girls legal guardian.
 Since she was two weeks old, Jane has lived with foster parents at sub- urban Wyandotte. James mother died giving her birth. Reid, with three other children to support, turn ed the child over to MT. and Mrs. Chester Abbott, who died later. Ab- bott's second wife, Hilda, has cared for Jane during the past two years.

Handsllaling! Politicians Disease" May Lead to "Vic- tirn'' Contracting
 s erious
 Cold.

If you catch 8 cold you may often have only yourself to blame, according to Dr. Donald B. Arm strong, third vice-president of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Com pany. For some of the ways by which cold germs can be spread are now well known, and by avoid ing such exposures colds should be held to a minimum.
 With the season of colds now impending, or in full blast, Dr. Armstrong points out what may be done to safeguard against in- lection from the disease and the program to be followed if the ail- ment should be contracted.
 For Prevention
 For the prevention of colds, he makes these suggestions
 Don't get nearer than neces- sary to a sneezing or coughing person.
 Remember that handshaking may be dangerous.
 Don't handle another persons handkerchiefs, towels, or toilet article.
 Wash your hands before you eat.
 Eat a variety of nourishing foods = plenty of milk and milk products, citrus fruits, tomatoes, green and yellow vegetables, and eggs.
 Get eight hours sleep every night.
 Take some form of exercise daily.
 Dress according to the weather, and don't forget your overshoes on stormy days.
 But, at the first sign of 8 cold, Dr. Armstrong says to-
 Go to bed, or at least stay indoors.
 Take a laxative if needed, but no other medicine Is advisable except by doctors orders.
 Drink plenty of water, fruit juices, and other liquids.
 Eat lightly of simple, nourish- ing food.
 Call a physician if the cold does not immediately improve.
 Aftermaths
 The great danger lurking in colds, which cause more sickness and absence from school and work than any other ailment, Dr. Arm strong says, is the possibility that they may be followed by pneu- monia, tuberculosis, or some other respiratory ailment. But" he adds, "very few colds would de- velop into serious illness if a per- son were wise enough to take proper care of himself during the first day or two of the sickness. And remember, if the symptoms are very severe, with aching back, head and limbs, the trouble may not be merely a cold but influenza, which is much worse. Then the only safe procedure to follow is to go to bed, stay there. and sum- mon a doctor"

Rail Orders Are Expected to

BY the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, July 20.-Despite the
substantial upturn in production since
the July 4 holiday. steel buyers are still
cautious said Iron Age today in It's
weekly survey of its iron and steel
trade.
With automotive buying for new
models still largely in the future" the
survey commented, railroad buying
still at a minimum and likely to con-
tinue SO at least until the matter OF
wage reductions has been settled,
farm machinery plants preparing for
summer shutdowns of two or three
weeks and building construction ac-
tivity not yet receiving the full i'm
petus of Government spending and
lending, the improvement In steel buy
ing that has occurred is traced largely
to miscellaneous sources"
The review reported rise of four
points in steel ingot production to 36
per cent of national capacity, the larg-
est increase within one week since
March. 1886, excepting post holiday
periods, and the highest rate thus
far in 1898.
Buyers, it continued. ARE not being
stampeded by intimations that par
tial restoration of price cuts must
come if wages are not reduced
With the meeting in Washington
this week Of leading steel company ex-
ecutives. called by the Government,
the wage question is the dominant
issue in the future determination of the
course of steel markets and the mat
ter of profits or losses for steel pro-
ducers
If wages are to be reduced. which
some in the industry now believe un-
likely in view of Government opposi-
ton. the only recourse is higher prices,
as 1t would require a sleeper gain in
operations to offset present high
costs.
1t is estimated that a 10 per cent
wage cut would not nearly cover the
reduced net yield of IS to 81 ton
which most companies will sustain be-
cause of lower prices and basing
point changes"

MILK PRODUCTION
DROPS IN MONTH
Some Price Improvement in Last
Few Weeks Reported by
U. S. Bureau.

Declining milk production since
the high point in early June and
some improvement in prices in the
last few weeks were reported by the
Bureau of Agricultural Economics to-
day in its current analysis of the
dairy situation.
Though the seasonal peak in milk
production is past, farm supplies of
food are relatively large and pastures
good. Total milk production there
fore is expected to continue high in
relation to corresponding months in
other years.
Since mid-June prices of butter
and cheese have advanced slightly
from the low levels of early June,
and it Is believed that the seasonal
low has been reached. With large
stocks and prospects for relatively
large production the usual rise from
midsummer to early winter may be
less than average.
Apparent consumption of manu-
factured dairy products is rather high
compared with other years, but has
not increased as much as production
Retail prices of these products are
decidedly lower than a year ago.
