Old Austria, meanwhile, had be-
come a part of Hitler's new Ger
many. Furthermore, reports are
piling up that Hitler's agents are
filtering through Austria into Yu-
goslavia and stirring up the Greats.
And American observers are gath
ering figures showing that Germany
is driving other trading nations out
of Yugoslavia. II those signs mean
anything, they mean Hitler has eyes
on Adriatic outlets.
So, asks your historian, is it mere
coincidence that Mussolini blows
the trumpet to get the worlds at
tention and marches on Albania, a
country he already controlled for
all purposes except the military?
Naturally the Italian dictator OUT
wardly is defending the Rome Ber-
lin axis.

Yugoslavia actually fit into the
European jig saw? Among the
great powers, France alone has
military obligations to the war
created state. But with Czechoslo-
vakia gone, what point would there
be in defending another Balkan
state wedged in between Hitler and
Mussolini?
In fact, from the standpoint Of the
Franco-British alliance, wouldn't it
be good idea to let Mussolini play
Hitler to Yugoslavia all by HIM

To tell much about our work dir
ing the year would make this report
too long for this occasion, so this
summary is very brief.
We have one change in the per-
sonnel staff from one year ago. The
colored nurse resigned last June to
accept an increase in salary with an
other health department. Our pres
ent colored nurse, with us since July
s, is paid $1,5C0 per year, including
travel. The salaries of others in the
health department remain the sama
as effective July 1, 1887.
We are, though, on q smaller scale
than some larger counties carrying
out all the programs as advocated
by the State Health Department, with
the exception of o dental program.
this we hope to add as a permanent
feature by the next school year, if not
this school term.
We have had no cpidmeics Of a seri-
Gus nature for the past IL months. We
have had only 27 cases of measles, in
cluding German measles; three cases
of typhoid fever, all. colored, and only
one case of diphtheria. Chickenpox
last winter and whooping cough last
spring and this fall have been wide
spread, but not serious enough to in
terfere with schools. The school nurse

School-age children before they en-
tered for the first time in the fall.
A tuberculosis clinic was held last
winter, with 3086 school children, in
cluding also few teachers, examined
