MRS. POOL ELECTED
 TO CHAIRMANSHIP, WLW.C.

The Douglas Island Woman's Club held it's regular meeting. last eve ming, being assisted by Miss War ren.
 Several important business tran sections took place, among which was the election of officers for the ensuing year. Mrs. Calvin Pool is to be the new President; Mrs. Frank Campbell, Vice-President; Miss Eleanor Warren, Secretary, and Mrs. Sam Devon was again elected to serve as Treasurer.
 The club voted that SITS be given the Douglas School with the sug- gestion that this sum be used to purchase equipment to be used m the teaching of music appreciation. This might be in the form of a radio photograph combination. II was also noted that mirror was needed in the home economics room. The sum to be donated rep resents the balance gained from the recent round-trip ticket raffle after deduction of necessary ex- penses.
 Mrs. Charles Fox, Chairman of the clubs Department of Public Welfare, announced the program of the evening, which was present. ed by Mrs. Claire Wilder and Miss Oygard.
 Mrs. Wilder gave a well-prepared and educational paper discussing the disease, syphilis. The early his tory of the disease was traced, showing how it was carried by early Spanish explorers from the New World to Europe.
 The various symptoms were noted which characterize the disease as it works it's devastating effect upon the human system.
 Stressed repeatedly, was the fact that cures can be made if medical advise is sought early. Quack doc tors prove a special menace to those who seek a cure. Only medi- cal doctors can bring effective treat ment for relief from this disease.
 In nineteen states there is now a law requiring physical exam ination before marriage, while seV- enteen states require expectant mothers to have a blood test Ii this were entirely compulsory it would mean that 50,000 children who will be born this year to be sorrow to their parents and burden to the state, would take their place in the world as healthy, happy babies.
 A fact to be noted carefully IS that Sweden has only seven new cases a year as compared to our 796 per 100000 each year.
 This worthwhile talk was in keeping with the movement spon.- sored by the American Social Fly giene Association and other or ganiations, such as the Federated Women's Clubs, to educate the public concerning the true facts about the disease.
 Miss Oygard, local Public Health Nurse. presented a film on this

BAD NEWS FOR?

What the census takers tallies are going to do in some cities and states is going to make big local news, if not national In Cedar Rapids, Iowa, for instance, if the population gees over a certain point, the Mayor and Aldermen get a raise in pay.
 A number of states have liquor laws, passing the number of saloons in localities on population If those localities gain, there1l be pubs where there were no pubs before and if they lose, the saloon keepers will have to draw straws to see who goes out of business.
 Of course, there's the matter nf state representation in the House of Representatives but that's an other story-probably the biggest that will come out of the 1940 census. Reappcrtionment is political bomb shell and when the figures are all in, national and local party ma chimes will start tossing the politi- cal INT. about wildly as they an- gle for the advantages of new rep resentation setups.
 One thing more: People who re- fuse to have their noses counted are just cutting them off to spite some body. Federal highway funds, re- lief and number of other national benefactions are based on the cen sus. Enough dodgers in any local ity or state and it's going to be money out the neighbors' pockets.

MARINES ARREST
 SOME JAPANESE
They Violated Law; Apol- Ogy Offered By Japs; But
 Japan Is Angry
BY ROBERT BELLAIRE

NOHhwVu AC00 0t@h NVAhCDRVuUCntl
 Shanghai, July 8.-(UP)-Japa nese army \rnen angrily threatened today to make serious incident of the arrest by United States marines of l6 Japanese plain clothes men who entered their defense sector under arms yesterday in violation of long standing agreement.
 Marine authorities had released the Japanese after, they said, for nal apology was made to Col. De WitS Peck, marine commander.
 But today Japanese army spokesman denied that any apology had been made.
 He charged that the marines had assaulted and injured three or four of the Japanese and continued:
 "They were treated like criminals sentenced to death. It was an un- friendly act and a grave insult to the Japanese army. We must con- clude that the marines have aban- donsd their responsibility as joint defense force at Shanghai. We be- lieve. the case will acquire serious nature in future"
 Japanese army authorities, the spokesman said, had decided to make a strong protest and to reserve the right to make demands" on the marines"
 It had been believed that the in- cident was at an end after the apol- ogy which, according to the marines, the Japanese made last night. It was only after the apology, accord- ing to all reports, that the Japanese were released.
 Col. Peck said that Maj. Gen. Keiichi Miura, commanding Japa. nese gendarmes, made the apology and that he has a stenographic rec ord of 1t. He said that Gen. Miura had advised him that the incident was closed.
 Yesterday was the third anniver- sary of the outbreak of the Chinese Japanese war Defense precautions were taken throughout the inter- national settlement and armored cars patrolled the streets.
 Though there was long-standing agreement that armed forces of one nation here should not enter the defense areas of other nations, the Japanese insisted on parading through the areas of other nations in observance of the anniversary.

AGED MAN OF 80
 KILLED IN HOME
SOn=in-Law Believes Shot Was Intended for Him,
 Not Old Man

Montclair, N. J.. July 8.-(UP)- J. Raymond Tiffany said today that his anti-Communist activities might explain the assassination of his &C., year-old father-in-law, who was shot through the head with a rifle bullet while he sat on sun porch playing solitaire.
 John Longstreet Ely, a retired farmer who had made his home with his daughter and her husband here for l6 years, seldom left the house and could not have had any enemies, Tiffany said. He believed that the shooting either was acci- dental or a case of mistaken iden- tity, and that if the bullet had been intended for anyone in the house 1t must have been himself.
 Tiffany is a former assistant att torney general Of New Jersey and now is counsel to the National Small Business Mems association. He has been campaigning to have persons alleged to be Communits removed from government offices.
 The shooting occurred late Sat- urday nlghs. The elderly man did not sleep well and frequently played solitaire on q table beside his couch long after the rest of the family had retired. Occasionally he fell asleep at # and was found siumped over his cards the next morning.
 Tiffany said that iie. his wife and their daughter Louise. 2i. retired tbout il o'clock saturday night Some time later Mrs. Tiffany heard en explosion and wcke her hlis- band. iie told her t probably was an automobiles haek-fiFe. Sine looked cut the window and saW black automobile passing.
