Russia and U. S. in
Heated Argument
Washington, Dec. 4.—The Soviet
resentment of Secretary of State
Stimson’s note looking toward pacifi-
cation of the Chinese-Russian troubles
in Manchuria, led him Wednesday to
assert the right of any adherent of the
Kellogg anti-war pact to call attention
of any other adherent to its obligations
under the treaty.
Declarations that the American
•Government regards the pact as a cov-
enant which has modified the world at-
titude toward peace and that the Uni-
ted States intends to shape its own
Trolicy accordingly, also were assert-
ed by the Secretary in a formal state-
ment.
With a ring of anger in his voice,
Mr. Scimson denounced allegations
by the Soviet government of unfriend-
liness on the part of the United
States, reported to have been made by
the Moscow authorities in their reply
to the American plea to China and the
Soviet for peace between them in the
Manchurian situation.
The secretary made his statement at
the regular conference with newspaper
men, which had been delayed until late
in the day when he arrived at the de-
partment from his home, where he had
been working in preparation for the
forthcoming naval conference1. The
statement will not be sent to the Mos-
cow Government.
The Secretary read the declaration
clearly and firmly launching into his
denial of the major Soviet allegations
against the United States, based on
the American plea for peace at the on-
set of the conference and without
awaiting questions.
Particular emphasis was laid by the
Secretary on a denial of the Soviet
charge that his plea for a cessation of
hostilities in Manchuria could not be
taken as a friendly act. He also re-
affirmed his belief in public opinion as
a medium of enforcing peace through
its support of the promises of the sig-
natories of the antiwar pact to settle
disputes by specific means.

MRS. SARAH ROBINSON DEAD
Rum Rusmers’ Car Dives
From Trinity River Bridge
Dallas, Texas, Dec. 3.—A rumrun-
ner’s car roared over the Forest ave-
nue bridge soon before 7 o'clock Tues-
day morning, skidded, crashed through
the railing and hurtled fifty feet with
its driver and cargo of liquor and came
tc rest upside down in the Trinity
river bottoms. The occupant or oc-
cupants of the car escaped abandon-
ing their machine.
Police recovered twenty gallons of
corn whisky in tin cans and reported
approximately 100 half-gallon glass
jars were broken. The wreckage was
liquor soaked from its spilled cargo,
emitting an odor apparent to persons
standing on the bridge.
Police after cursory search for the
occupants of the car loaded the re-
mainder of the liquor in a squad car
and returned to police headquarters,
while detectives were dispatched to
trace the number and ownership of the
car and to make a further search of
the bottoms in the belief the injured
driver might have crawled in hiding
in the high weeds that cover the bot-1
toms.
No trace of blood was found near
the wreckage. A new brown hat, pur-
chased at a Dallas store, and the li-
cense number of the car were the only
clews left by the fleeing rumrunner.
The rum car was a new one, early
police check-up revealed.

gest crowd ever sent from each dele-
gation in District 5 are being made.

ley, tackle and Jones, half, who are
suffering from a light case of influen-
za and a knocked down shoulder re-
spectively, are well on the road to re-

held here and preparations for enter-
taining several thousand out-of-town
fans were made. Local fans are being
urged to purchase their tickets early
so that visitors can be readily cared

Farmers Cooperative Gin Wednesday
shortly after noon to put out a fire
that started in some seed cotton. The
gin has fire-fighting equipment and
was making a successful fight aganist

narrow escape from having his neck
broken.

Pittsburg Gazette: Whatever pa-
per may rightly claim the largest cir-
culation in the world does not have
anything to do with a paper in Eng-
land having the smaller circulation in
the entire world. The Anti-Top Hat,
a newspaper printed in London, claims
to have only three copies printed. As
the story goes, this remarkable per-
iodical was established by an accentric
gentleman who had a perfectly inex-
orable antipathy to high or stovepipe
hats, and who dveoted his life largely
to the task of denouncing them. Aft-
er his death his will was found to con-
tain a clause willing his nephew an
annuity of $10,000 .on condition that
he should continue the campaign
against high hats and should continue
printing the paper.
That nephew is not honoring his av-
uncular benefactor in the proper spirit.
The old gentleman’s antipathy for the
top hat should be propagated by the
young man made rich by him. To
take all uncle’s money and print three
circulars occasionally in obedience to
the benefactor’s command is poor way
to exhibit the gratitude. Wlio knows
but that a hard and persistent cam-
paign against the top hat would even-
tually destroy that monstrosity ? Who
in his right mind, will deny that it
ought to be destroyed? It was in-
vented two centuries ago by querulous
lords to distinguish themselves from
the cap-wearing or rag-wearing mul-
titude. The fact that the top hat, or
stovepipe headpiece, is the most un-
comfortable fo all crowns is not suf-
ficient punishment for those who make
a practice of wearing them. They
ought to be lawed. If the London
nephew were properly appreciative of
his uncle’s legacy he would more ap-
propriately honor the trusteeship. He
should begin a lurid onslaught. He
should print three thousand papers, in-
stead of three. He should invite the
great figures of literature, who are
not themselves addicted to the top hat,
to inveigh against it in his columns.
Bernard Shaw, H. G. Wells and the
lady who wrote ‘The Well of Lonli-
ness’ should be besought to lend their
pens to the top hat’s demolition. The
lady above mentioned especially should
be engaged, for the top hat itself is a
well or a pit of lonliness. Noboddy
speaks to a man in a top hat. He is
grand, gloomy and isolated.
Since the new laaw, regarding births
and deaths, went into effect in this
state, County Clerk S. G. (Shirley)
Taylor says that some of the regis-
trars, physicians and citizens fo the
county do not seem to understand the
meaning of the new law that is now in
effect.
‘All physicians of the county should
make a report of each birth and death
to the registrar in their precinct, the
registrar generaally being the justice
cf the peace.” Mr. Taylor told a rep-
lesentative of the McKinney Examin-
er.
The registrar, or justice of the
peace, should send the original copy
of their report—including each birth
and death—into the state department
and a copy of the report to me as soon
as possible,” he added.
County Clerk Taylor stressed the
importance of physicians of Collin
county making their reports to the reg-
istrar of their precinct as soon as pos-
sible, the registrar then reporting im-
mediately to Mr. Taylor and to the
state department.
Mr. Taylor further said that some
of the physicians were sending in their
reports to him instead of the registrar
in their own precinct. All physicians
are expected to report to the regis-
trar in their own precinct and not to
Mr. Taylor.
Physicians in the city limits of Mc-
Kinney should make their reports to
Dr. R. L. Davis.
Registrars over the county are:
Dr. R. L. Davis, Precinct 1, inside
city limits.
S. G. Taylor, Precinct 1, outside city
limits.
S. D. Leverett, Farmersville, Pre-
doll | cinct 2.
T. A. Pruett, Melissa, Precinct 3.
J. F. Wester, Weston, Pre*cinct 4.
Dr. W. D. Ellis or W. A. Stanley,
Plano, Precinct 5.
T. P. Mohon, Frisco, Precinct 6.
C. L. Walker, Nevada, Precnict 7.
George Tree, Blue Ridge, Precinct 8.
Before the new law went into effect,
all reports were sent in to the county
clerk’s office. With the new law in
effect. Mr. Taylor urges these regis-
trars, as above stated to send in a re-
port to the state department, one re-
port to him, as well as keeping a rec-
ord themselves of all births and deaths
in their preceinct.

CARD OF TH> NvS
To those who were so kind to us in
the death of our beloved mother, Mrs.
W. C. Burrus, we extend our grateful
thanks, and our prayer is that our
Lord will ever bless and protect you.
Her Children.
Mr. and Mrs. A. McWilliams of this
city Wednesday received a message
from their son Clyde at Maiakoff, stat-
ing that his little daughter, Clyde
Ray, was bitten by a cat a week ago
and was being taken to Austin for
Pasteur treatment for rabies. It was
not stated what evidence, if any, they
had that the cat had rabies.
Pete- Hinesley and family of Gaines-
ville were here Wednesday they were
on their way home after attending the
funeraai of a brother of Mr. Hines-
ley, Lon Hinesley, of Prosper, at
Walnut Grove. Pete formerly lived
here but is now a member of the
Gainesville police force.
Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Howell spent
from Thursday until Sunday with their
son, Clarence Howell, and wife, at
Flomott.
Mrs. A. McWilliams was called to
McKinney Monday on account of the
illness of a little granddaughter, Doris
Nell Saunders, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Roy Saunders. The child had
pneumonia, but hen' condition is now
much improved.
Mr. Roy Epting, son of Rev. and
Mrs. W. J. Epting, who had been on
the road for a number of years, has
accepted a position with Jones Bros.
Motor Co., and is now a citizen of Ce-
lina. His family had been living here
for the last year or two and Celina is
pleased to have Mr. Epting join them
and become a citizen.
A town is what the people who live
in it and around it make it. If noth-
ing is done to better conditions, con-
ditions will not better themselves, but
will grow worse. When a town gets to
where a citizen cannot boost for it, it
is time for such citizen to move.
