Lambom's Nose 'Broken Again
Clarence -"Babe" Lamborn today
claims championship hard-luck honors
for The Dalles and Wasco county. His
nose was broken again Tuesday night
in baseball practice at the local high
school. "Babe," by the way, is an all
around athlete, and, because of this,
fact participates in virtually all ath'
letlcs carried on at the high school.
He is cursed with an unusually sensi
tive nose, however; a nose which
was not designed to stand punishment.
Tuesday the nose and a baseball bat
came into -violent collision, consider
ably to the disadvantage of, the for
mer. This makes the fourth time Lam-
bora's nose has been broken as a re-
sula of participation in high school
athletics.

China's Famine Depicted "Umatil
la county has donated 1990 barrels of
flour to the Near East and China Re
lief funds, and it was shipped from
Portland to China last week,, as their
-quota to alleviate the suffering of
the famine area," said The Rev. Car
rol C. Roberts, In charge of the relief
campaign here. "All the money donat
ed' in Wasco county will be spent for
wheat or flour within, the county.
Mlany of the country people will find
it more convenient to give wheat than
money and it "will be Just as accept
able," he added. The Rev; Roberts
made the following statement concern
ing the conditions in China: "The val
ley of the Yellow river In the Loess
plain, comprising five provinces and
' known to many as 'China's sorrow,' Is
now tho scene of a tragic catastrophe,
the like of which tho world has never
known before. In 1918 the Yellow river
. burst its dykes, the water rising at
I the rate of 40 feet in as many hours,
and destroying crops. Two seasons' of
drought followed. With no rainfall all
crops of rice, millet and grain failed
and the food supply of this densely
populated region was completely ex
hausted many months ago. Forty-five
million people there are facing starvi
tion. Ten million of these nre little
children. Fifteen thousand a day are
dying of starvation and the diseases
that are always attendant upon under
nourishment. Among the sufferers are
200,000 men who served in Franco
with 'the allied armies. Unnumbered
thousands are now subsisting on roots,
bark and leaves. In some regions all
vegetation has been consumed and
the trees are dying because the bark
has all been peeled off for food." Chol
era, famine, fever and typhus are mak.
ing appalling ravages. Missionaries
and relief workers report heart-rending
conditions."
