Large collections of remains also
were found at Yang Shao, including
specimens of red and black ceramic
objects similar to those found at

that there was no evidence of a stone

CLAUD EASON
BADLY BURNEC BY
POWDER IGNITING
Claude Eaaon, age 14, was badly
burned about the face today whi'c
nl.iyitnr with powder, which ignited.
He and a companion were playing
with n bottie of powder at the high
achool building and in some way
drooped a mnteh into the bottle. The
bottle exploded nnd his face was
badly burned by the powder. He waa
carried to a physician, who stated
t'V while the face was considerably
turned, the eyeing t was unimpair-
ed.

profession after training has been |
eonipleted." j
The majority
1 b< medical school are attracted by
the human interest appeal of the
ptofesslon, Miss Stiles said, and the
gi cater number of them intend to
be child specialists, or surgeons of
special diseases
“Actuated by a desire of this na-
ture,’' -Miss Stiles said, “the girls
are rudely disillusioned when they
inter the real medical training, be-
cause they have not thought of en-
countering such unheard of things as
they are required to do. The human
interest vision fades away, and they
become keenly conscious of long
hours, tired feet, nerve-racking op-
erations and processes. They gradu-
ally lose sight of the sanatorium
way up in the cool mountains where
they have dreamed of being sur-
rounded with small children with
crooked spines, clubbed feet or weak
lungs.”
Miss Stiles believes that another
reason for the seemingly decreasing
number of women medical students
it- the University of Texas is due to
thf fact that they feel out of place
among the larger number of men
students.

Washington, Feb. 21.—Harry M.
Drugherty will resign as attorney
general of the United States within
24 hours, if his resignation is not al-
ready in the hands of the president,
it was indicated Wednesday night.
Even while Daugherty was issuing
a formal statement to indicate that
he would remain in the cabinet,
President Coolidge was yielding to
pressure to call for hie retirement
leader of
George Wl
senate, and Senator
Wharton Pepper, Pennsylva-
nia, as a committee repreeentlng
their colleagues, called on the pres-
ident nnd asked him to demand the
resignation of Daugherty.
They were closeted with the exec-
utive for rver two hours, in their
effort to nave him changqfhis view,
thnt he would not let Daugherty out
until he had been convicted of
wiong doing., Their visit was a re-
sult of a conference of a large num-
ber of Republican senators recent-
ly. when it was decided that the
pnrty could not survive the cam-
paign, unless the president immedi-
ately purged it of all taint of oil.
Senator! Alarmed.
The conference of the Republican
lenders was held at the home of
8« i.at’or Lodge laat night Among
those present were Senators Lodge,
Popper, Pennsylvania^ Fees and Wil-

Their decision is understood to have

from the Interstate Commerce com-
I'dsMun to purchase the Internation-
al Great Northern railroad1 of
Texas. It proposes to take over
75,000 shares of common stock at
$31 per share, and to guarantee the
payment of four per cent interest
on the International adjustment
bond issue. The previous proposal
f the St. Louis and San Francisco
uiltoad to purchase the Inter-
national & Great Northern line was
ejected by the commission.
M
morning and decided to convey the
result of their deliberations direct to
tie president.
Embarrassing Party.
The senators told the president
that while they respected his atti-
tude of fairness and his prerogative
t • “hire and fire” his cabinet, the
retention of Daugherty was proving
increasingly embarrassing to tho
party.
It was proving a handicap to them
in the legislative program, and
v >uld be even a greater handicap to
the members of the party, who will
shortly have to go before the elec-
m
torate.
The question, they assured the
piesident, Is one which affects the
whole party, and the president
should be able to find a way of get-
ting rid of Daugherty and «t the
same time give bln- every guarantv
of a fair hearing on the charges
