OSHAGHAI. April To- @ -
Apparently seeking to choke of
all remaining supply channels of
the Chinese government In
Chungking, japanese troops,
supported by warships and air
craft, were reported today to
have taken the Chekiang prov
ince Port Of Ningpo in q sudden
nine-hour offensive.
Ningpo, one Of the first Chi
nese ports opened under the
Marking treaty of 1912, is 100
miles south of Shanghai and has
been serving as an important
communications link between
northern Chinese and the
Chunking government, neutral
observers said.
The Japanese did not officially
announce capture of the port,
but a military spokesman said
the army had carried out sew
eral successful surprise landings
on the coasts of Chekiang and
Fukien provinces.
Ningpo had not previously
been molested during the four
year war in China.
Advices reaching here said oc
cupation of the treaty port cul-
minated a week of japanese
bombing raids during which
most of the civilian population
of 100000 was removed. These
reports also said the japanese
had captured Shaohing, a town
inland from Ningpo on the Ming
po-Hangchow-Shangha railroad.
The Japanese said other
troops had landed at the ports
of Shipu, Haimen and Wenchow,
south of Ningpo in Chekiang
province. The spokesman said

the purpose of the surprise land

stroy supplies destined for
Chungking and to cut Chinese
trade routes.

BAT'A SHOE COMPANY
CONTROVERSARY

Private hearings for approx
mately fifty Czech employees at the
Bat'a Shoe Company plant at Bel
camp will be completed in about a
month, it was announced by A. R.
Archibald, District Commissioner
of Naturalization and Immigration.
Mr.. Archibald said that usually
no more than two or three hearings
could be concluded in one day and
that sometimes one hearing would
last all day.
After the hearings have been con-
cluded, transcripts of the testimony
will be prepared and the local immi-
grafton authorities will make recon-
mendations to the Washington i'm
migration heads, who take the final
action.
However, it is expected the cases
will not be determined for several
months, since attorneys representing
hte Czechs will be given an oppor-
tunity to read the testimony and the
recommendations and to make any
exceptions they desire before the ma
terial is sent to Washington.
1t has been reported from other
sources that the Czechs who have
been served the warrants will con-
tend they are refugees from Germ
any and are not connected with the
Nazi regime.

Front cover of Telephone Almanac.
With this issue for 1941, the Tele-
phone Almanac, printed by the A. T.
& T. Company, reaches its twentieth
edition. Its purpose, which has never
changed since the publication first ap-
peared, is to point out the Importance
Of communication in general and of
the telephone in particular, and to
provide facts about telephone service
which would help the telephone user
better to understand that service, and
thus make, it more valuable to him.
A total Of $1,000 copies Of this
almanac have been printed for use in
this territory, 1920 for Washington,
29,50O for Maryland, $4,000 for Vir-
ginia and 10000 for West Virginia.
Comprising thirty-two pages, the
book contains among other things a
chronicle of twelve historical events
in the history of the United States
which serve to illustrate the import
ance of communications in shaping the
destiny of the nation and in bringing
its several commonwealth together
into a single, united national COM
rnunity.

with various and sundry items relative
to the part the telephone has played In
bringing America into closer touch

fined to this work. With thousands Of
industries making military materials,
totaling billions of dollars, the de-

Other important points noted by
Mr.. Clifford, as expressed in a recent
statement, are the cooperation between
the 6,400 Independent telephone COM
panies and the Bell System in mar
shaling the resources of the entire
telephone industry for national
defense; progress in developing SUBJ
stitutes for important war materials
now used in telephone apparatus;
extensive work by Bell Telephone

be made in all of them for this one
day. The committee stresses that
DOLLAR Day" specials will not be
confined to articles of wear or adorn-
ment, but will include all lines for
personal or home use. From pots
and pans, from linens to lingerie,
from floor coverings to furniture,
from brooches to beds, ribbons to

that the outstanding reason why

from all over the Peninsula and sur
rounding territory is that the primal
reason for holding them is to demon
strate to shoppers that Wilmington

SICKNESS FROM THE REPORT.
ABLE DISEASES

Figures given out by DR.. r. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, show that there was
nearly twice as much sickness from
the reportable diseases--those usual
ly spoken of as catching" or COM
nicable--during the six months
which ended June 80 of this year,
as there was during the first half of
1910.
Over 1,400 cases of these diseas-
es were reported to the State Depart
ment of Health from January to
June 80 of this year in comparison
with oyer 22,500 cases during the
first six months Of 1940. OF those
occurring during the first half of the
current year, 16,O58 cases were re-
ported from the counties and 25,364
from Baltimore City. The 1910 cas-
es were distributed as follows:
S,343 reported from the counties
and 14,200 from Baltimore City.
: German measles, of which 9,76O
cases were reported in comparison
with 81 cases during the first half of
1910, was responsible for nearly
one-fourth of the total sickness from
all the catching diseases. The di-
sease was widely prevalent and at
tackled grown-ups as well as child
rem.
Marked increases in other diseas-
es added their quota to this years
higher total. There were over 5000
mroe cases of measles than during
the first half of 1910; over 1850
more of influenza; 1,40O more of
humps; over 800 more of tubercu-
losis and over 100 more cases of
the venereal diseases.
These were Offset by a decrease of
over 500 cases of pneumonia and of
over LOO cases of whooping cough.
Comparative figures for the six
months period for each of the above,
were as follows: Measles, $3.50 cas-
es in 1871; lat in 1910; humps,
Ito in 1871; 374 the previous
year; influenza, 3,013 in 1941; L.
$50 in 1910; tuberculosis, 1,616 in
1914; 1928 in 1910; the venereal
diseases, 8,342 in 1871; $3.50 in
1910.
Pneumonia, on the other hand,
dropped from 1888 during the firt
six months of 1910, to $3.50 dur
ing the corresponding period this
year; whooping cough dropped from
1890 cases to 2,252.
Three groups of diseases--the So
called children's diseases, the VEN
ereal diseases, and the respiratory
diseases--influenza, tuberculosis and
pneumonia, accounted for SO per
cent of the total sickness from COM
municable diseases. The children's
diseases, with total of 24,6O9 were
responsible for SO per cent; the VEN
ereal diseases for 20 per cent, and
the resiratory diseases for 10 per
cent.
The rest was scattered among the
other communicable diseases that
physicians and others who have
knowledge of the occurrence of such
sickness are asked to report to the
nearest health officer or to the
State or Baltimore City Depart
ments of Health in order that meas
ures to prevent their spread to 9TH
ers, may be instituted without avoid
able delay.

CAREFUL HAY-MAKING METH
DDS AVOID LOSS OF
VITAMINS

Maryland farmers, now i'm various
stages of midsummer haying, are
carefully "bottling up" their live
stocks winter supply of vitamin A.
High-quality hay is one Of the best
winter sources of this important
vitamin, but it may be largely lost
in hay-making if the hay Is leached
by rain, bleached by the sun, under
cured so that it becomes musty and
moldy in the stack or bale, or is al
lowed to become SO dry that the
leaves shatter.
DR.. Fred H. Leinbach, head of the
animal husbandry department at the
University of Maryland, points out
that it lis to the farmers advantage
to avoid this loss, particularly this
year when better feeding practises
mean more food for national de-
Tense and prices for farm products
are good.
Built from carotene, the orange
yellow pigment in grasses and le-
gumes, vitamin A is essential for
health i'm all farm stock. Cows fed
rations low in "a" may abort, or
bear weak, dead, or blind calves.
Some of the offspring from cows so
fed may live few days or weeks,
only to develop severe diarrhea,
pneumonia, permanent blindness,
convulsions, or other disorders, says
DR.. Leinbach. Horses, sheep and
swine are also affected.
DR.. Leinbach says that studies by
the Department of Agriculture have
shown that the vitamin A potency
of butterfat from cows fed U. s. No.
alfalfa hay was at least four times
that of fat from cows fed U. s. No.
3 timothy.
Grass or legume pasture in the
summer and liberal quantities Of
properly cured legume or grass hay
Of the current seasons crop in win
ter or during periods of dry-lot
feeding will prevent or cure vitamin
A deficiency in cattle, sheep, horses,
and goats, this expert states. Swine
also obtain considerable carotene
from good pasture, and during win
ter leafy legume hay or to 10 per
cent high-grade alfalfa meal in the
grain mixture will supply sufficient
vitamin A for sows or fattening
hogs.
