FRIGHTENED NATIVES FLEE IN PANIC BEFORE JAPANESE ADVANCE
(173)
TIENTSIN, China -- Military occupation of this salient point in Japan's offensive against China is marked in the frantic community by scenes of disorder as invading soldiers compel refugees to submit to search and seizure within the Japanese concession. Ignorant natives jam all roads leaving the city in an effort to escape the invading troops but watchful sentries break up the mobs and search everyone for arms. Meanwhile remnants of the Chinese army mobilize nearby to defend the nation against an offensive on the Mukden-Pieping railroad which links this section with Manchuria, the scene of the greatest fighting.
PRES. RUBIO SPONSORS GIFT DISTRIBUTION TO CAPITAL'S ORPHANS
(76)
MEXICO CITY, Mexico -- With Mrs. Rubio supervising the work, the Protection Association contributes hundreds of toys and "dolces" to the poor children of the city.

LEGAL HORSE RACING DRAWS THOUSANDS TO NEW "TROPICAL PARK"
(97)
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Seven weeks after laws permitting meetings within the state are passed over the governor's veto, this new course is constructed in record time and opened to the public. Under the protection of the law, gamblers flock to the track and reap a harvest at the Pari-Mutuel machines, installed as an added attraction in the betting rings. A thrilling 6-furlong canter opens the first meeting, and Brown Supinet with Jockey Stout up romps home to the initial victory on the course in a stirring claiming race.
HIGHLIGHTS IN 1931'S NEWS
(431)
The parade of events during the past year dealt disastrous blows throughout the world. The major catastrophe of the period was the floods at Hankow, China where upwards of 500,000 persons died in one of the most terrible tragedies that ever visited the Orient.
The most terrifying earthquake disaster the Western Hemisphere has known nearly wiped Managua, Nicaragua, off the face of the globe.
The Bourbon dynasty, successors to the throne of Spain, fell before revolutionary forces, and a monarchical government that had endured since 3,000 B.C. retired from existence as Alfonso XIII abdicated and the nation became a Republic.
Aviation history continued to be made in 1931, with Harold Gatty and Wiley Post setting their plane Betty Mae down on Long Island after circling the globe in a little over 8 days.
Daredevil flying contributed the greatest thrill in the thrilling history of the newsreel screen, with the crash of Lowell Bayles. Screaming through the air at 300 miles an hour, Bayles' plane, twisting and turning, plunged to earth and catapulted the intrepid pilot to his death.
This symposium of the great events of the year would be incomplete without 1931's best laughs -- and a couple of 'em are included that have shaken rafters throughout the civilized world -- and uncivilized, too.

SHANGHAI FALLS! CHINESE SUICIDE SQUAD HOLDS WAREHOUSE AGAINST DRIVE
(Photograph by George Krainukov and Norman Alley)
SHANGHAI.--The mighty Japanese military machine finally forces gallant Chinese defenders to abandon their war-torn metropolis. But for days, 300 Chinese soldiers, sworn to death, hold a warehouse in Chapei, keeping their National flag waving above the building while they beat off the fury of 40,000 Nipponese attackers. In the end, the defenders are safely evacuated by British Tommies. Enthusiastic Chinese and foreigners, eager to acclaim the heroism of the men who stood fast in the face of certain death, mob the trucks that carry the men into neutral territory.
JAPANESE PRESS FORWARD THROUGH RUINS
DESOLATION AND SMOULDERING RUINS greet the Japanese as they seek to secure their advance around the once-magnificent city. Wide areas still burn, or reek with the smoke of destroying fires. Waves of Nipponese troops move relentlessly onward as heavy artillery wipes out big buildings right before the camera lens. Refugees by the thousand are caught in the maelstrom of war, many of them mowed down by shells and bullets, while others try vainly to find safety in the International Settlement. Machine-gun fire surrounds fleeing civilians, some of them carrying feeble mothers or fathers on their weary backs. Chinese troops dig in for another valiant stand in defense of their native land.
