Manchukuo Fails

rr
. j Bandits hit problem..
'Japan's threatened cove to annex additional territory from China"
calls attention to results of Nippon's creation of the vassal state of
Manchukuo. Apparently Japan's hoped-far benefits from the north-
crn province are not being realized. Trade has not been stimulated
to the extent anticipated and Manchukuo has proved a dismal failure
In the role of commissary for the island empire's millions. The har-.
vest this year virtually was a failure and the problems raised by
roving bandits has made government of Manchukuo a most difficult
problem. This failure of Manchukuo to live up to expectations of
Japan is interpreted in some quarters as the reason for Tokio'
apparent determination to acquire a more fertile and productive
section of China.

Madison, Wis. Doctors at Wiscon
sin general hospital expressed doubt
they will be able to check a rare
malady that is slowly turning the

They are using all that science
knows about the strange disease,
known as myocitis ossifans, to check
the destructive deposits of calcium
that are gradually hardening the

Dolores, a black-eyed, plump child,
smiles thru it all as she plays in her
crib, she is in no pain but cannot

her arms above her shoulders .She

CHUECH TRAINING TOPIC
Omaha. The need of creating a
favorable attitude on the part of the
child toward Christian education
was stressed by Dr. H. A. Martin of
Fremont, president of Midland col
lege, in an address at the closing
session of the conference of repre
sentatives of Trans-Mississippi area
church related colleges here. Doctor j
Martin said it is difficult for college;
professors to change the attitude of
a child on Christian education, "if
that child has been reared in an at
mosphere of indifference or hostility
to such education." Other speakers
of the final session were President
V. F. Ecwhalm of McPherson, Kas.,
college; Rev. J. P. Zuercher, S. J-,
of Creighton university, and Prof.
E. I. Doty of York college. Forty
representatives of colleges in states
from the Mississippi river to the
Rocky mountains were here.
DISCUSS EXCESS RESERVES
Washington. Members of the fed-
jcral advisory council discussed with
the federa lreserve board the ques
tion of mounting excess bank reserves
which may be preparing the way for
violent credit inflation. It was not
learned whether any recommenda
tions to cope with the situation were
made by the council which comprises
representatives from each of the fed
eral reserve districts.
With excess bank reserves above
SC. 000, 000, 000, it was seen that the
base had been laid for credit infla
tion of $30,000,000,000, by this fac
tor alone. This was believed the
principal problem now facing reserve
beard governors and it wa3 under
stood that virtually all the council's
time was devoted to the excess re
serve situation.

prevails upon John Alden to propose
for him, although he had previously

bidden, but after he has pleaded for
the captain, Priscilla said. "Why do
you not speak for yourself?"
