Paris, Dec. 4. Briton Francis M. Rickett, who arranged the Ethiopian oil concession later involved with American interests, arrived in Paris claiming to be en route to Cairo and beyond.

Plan for medical aid to federal relief workers in Douglas County
The Douglas County Medical Society calls a meeting at the courthouse tonight at 8 to present a plan for medical care for federal relief workers. The plan, developed by the state medical society economics committee, would require each relief worker to contribute $1 monthly into a pooled fund used to pay doctors based on services rendered. Dr. C. W. Davidson of Kansas City, Kan, explains the plan. A countywide alternative would have the county fund $1 per direct relief family, with payments to attending physicians, potentially replacing the county physician but keeping a health officer for quarantines. the board of commissioners will consider the proposal.
