Timely suggestions As to methods
of pepping up Interest In the club
and the community as a whole made
by members, featured in the weekly
meeting and lunehecn of the Rotary
club at noon today.
Superintendent E. B. Stover of the
city schools was of the opinion that
there should be some serious thought
devoted to the probiems that con-
frented the community, although he
thought that some fun sandwiched
in was the proper thing.
Geo. B. Colburn commented on
the excellent programs that have
been furnished the past year and
expressed appreciation of the good
work certain members had done in
furnishing amusement for previous
meetings.
J. f. Byrne thought club singing
was an absolute necessity and that
mere attention hould be given that
proposition.
A. E. Josephson suggested that
Bob Ellis of the intelligence depart-
ment of Beaumont police organisa-
tion be asked to come over some
time and put on a program.
Dr. Tom F. Coyle broke the mo-
notony of the occasion by declaring
that whatever the club decided to do.
he would oppose it.
J. H. David expressed himself as
being utterly opposed to canned
speeches, as much as he liked canned
peaches.
G. M. Heiss favored having Bob
Ellis of the Beaumont police depart-
ment ocme over because he thought
his services would be needed right
there in the club room.
Byron Simmons, club secretary,
admitted that he had been put to the
task to find something that would
entertain the club at all the meet-
ings, because the folka had been
spoiled by having the cream of tal-
ent appear before them at the week-
ly luncheons. He suggested that the
Vinton rfuh of 24 members he en-
tertained in the near future.
Luteher Stark said that he would
WASHINGTON. Noy. 15.—Arthur
W. Dunn, direetor of the American
Junior Red Croms, died here last
night of heart trouble.
Born In Galesburg.* III., on March
12; 1464, Mr Dunn became a spe-
cinlist In civil service education and
and instructor and lecturer on so-
clology He became national direc-
tor of the junior Red Crom in 1511.
Another imed Improssing those in
sympathy with ecorts to perfect the
highway connections between Texas
and • Louiniana, is the fact that the
first part of the surfacing placed on
this highway span through the
Louisiana marsh is the fact that H
is in perfect condition regardless of
weather onditions. It is believed
that in the course of a very short
time that sM of the marsh road will
be just as good as the first few hun-
dred feet put down which was a
sample of what could be done. The
mile or more of trestle work on the
marsh span of highway Is in ideal
condition.

The Chinese population is atricken
by apprehenmfon, fearing further
looting and burning by the leaderless
soldiers that remained after Tang
Heng-Uhl's withdrawal.
Despite the terror of the Chinese
civilians, the Chinese authorities
have forbidden them to enter the
heavily barricaded concession areas.
Great nmbers of them, however,
have,sought safety there.
Tang Heng-411 in deputy comman-
der issued a proclamation declaring
"aa the commander ts absent. 1 with
the thirtieth army will maintain or-
der and safety at Wuchanfi, the col-
lective name given to the adjoin-
ing cities of Hankow, Wuchang and
Hanyong." v.
Tang Meng-Chi has been variously
reported as retreating westward with
his troops and as having lied aboard
a Japanese ship for Japan. He had
been harransed steadily by the Nan-
kng forces far some weeks.
Before Tung Seng-Chl’s departure
he demanded from the bank of Chi-
na in the Chinese city two hundred
fifty thousand dollars Mexican. His
troops entered- the strong room of
the Central Bank of China in the
French eoncession and are alleged
to have stolen three hundred thou-
sand dollars Mexican. . -
Prior to his departure Tang Seng-
Chi ordered that General Chang
Kuo-Wel. Hunan commander of the
eighth army, he strangled because,
the latter had suggested that Tang
Seng-Chi retire The condemned
zeneral’s body was found in Tang
Heng-Chs headquarters.

The new Sabine river bridge and
highway Into Loutslana, continues to
hold the place of chief attraction in
the Habine district, and as a natural
result traffic ta inerensing by leaps
and bounds.
The Louisiana highway depart-
ment is receiving, universal praise
for the excellent manner in which
the new road through the marsh
is being maintained under ths must
adverse rfreumatancee.
The slow rains falling for ths
past two or thrpe days has had an
ill effect on_the new marsh road
with its fresh clamshell coating,
and aa a result of tremenous traf-
fic, including trucks hearing as
much as six and seven ton loads. it
requires continuous work on ths,
part of road maintainers to keep
the thoroughfare in good condition.
The road was in fair condition to-
day, according to hundreds of Louis- *
dana people who drove to Orange to
enjoy the brand new privilege ac-
grief stricken children today linger-
ed about a casket in a north Md*

The mother was killed while

banement of her home. JuM a bloek

met death when a large piece of
flying glass severed an artery in

The death toll as a result of yes-

today as rescuers dug their way
into the ruins of homes, factories,
warehouses and industrial plants.
