" At the same time that disaster re- Het is going forward in 20 States form- i ing a triangle whose western salient rests upon Wyoming, whose northern tip is Minnesota and Wisconsin and -whose southeastern tip rests upon ‘Western Florida, the eighth national convention of the American Cross met today to grapple with a gigantic €ampaign of humanitarianism. “In between this triangle are the out- standing needs of Alabama, Georgia, ‘Tennessee, Kentucky and Arkansas, with many sister States to keep them company,” James L. Fieser, vice chair- man in charge of domestic relations, told the 700 delegates at the. opening of the five-day session this morning in the United States Chamber of Com- erce Building. *This year we meet as‘the curtain goes down on successful completion of work in Porto Rico and Florida, an en- terprise created in the vortex of de- | | | Fall, when almost 1,000,000 victims pre- sented themselves to the Red Cross for yepair and re-establishment,” declared Mr. Fieser. “Experience has taught us there is no such thing as immunity from disaster.

Brown Fond of Helping at Work as Well as Play. i Country Home in Ohio Scene of Many Happy Hours Among Pets. BY MARGARET HART. “Mr. Brown's story is my story.” This was » gentle, courteous, unmis- takable reproof to a reporter who had been trying to get Mrs. Walter F. Brown, wife of the Postmaster General, to tell' something of her interests in life, her hobbies and her philosophy. It was difficult. The smartly dressed, gray-eyed woman with light chestnut hair continually brought the conver- sation back to her husband. “But this is about you, Mrs. Brown,” she was reminded. “Mr. Brown's story is interesting, but this is a story about you.” 1t was then that she observed: “Mr. Brown's story is my story.” The close companionship of the Browns is a byword among their friends. One never takes a vacation without the other. Asked if she had any particular in- terests or hobbies, Mrs. Brown replied: “My interests are in Mr. Brown and his work. We have always worked together. That is, he does the big things of life and I trall along, He has so many big things to do. I pick up the threads of the little things he hasn’t time to attend to. I merely supplement him.” Averse to Publicity. The wife of the Postmaster General is frankly averse to publicity. “I was brought up by a very con- servative mother who taught that a lady should never make herself conspicuous,” Mrs. Brown said. “I do not see why it is not sufficient that one member of the family, Mr. Brown, be conspicuous to the public* In the Browns' country home outside of Toledo, Ohio, there remain numerous pets dear to the hearts of their owners. Among them are several fine dogs. Asked if she would bring any of them to Washington Mrs. Brown replied: “Indeed, no! We would never bring dogs to a city. I do not believe in keeping dogs in the narrow confines of a city apartment or house. It would be a pity to take them away 32 DIE AS FLOODS =t AND STORMS TAKE *# BIG PROPERTY TOLL (Continued From First Page.) WIFE SAYS CHIEF INTE . IS IN POSTMASTE!

Shares Husband's Views. Mrs. Brown thus shares the views of her husband, who as president of the Toledo chapter of the National Humane Society has always shown himself ac- tively interested in humanitarian work, whether for human or animal welfare. Referring to the pleasures and pas- times_of her husband and herself, Mrs. Brown said that they had much pleasure racing boats on Lake Erle, upon whose shores their country home is placed. “Years ago,” she sald, “Mr. Brown used to race motor boats on the lake, but he gave that up. At present we have a sailboat and Mr, Brown races that when he is home.” “Do you race with him?" Mrs. Brown was asked. “I accompany him in the boat,” was the modest reply. “I do not do the racing. Mr. Brown is the captain. I am merely the crew.” Mrs. Brown does not care for bridge and golf. She says she has no time for such things; that whenever there is opportunity for recreation she and Mr. wn enjoy trips into the out- doors of which they are both so fond. (Copyright. :1929.)

There was no known of. life when the levee crumbled at Canton, but 200 were homeless and many other families were moved from their homes as a precaution against other levee breaks. A break in the levee of the Fabius River, emptying into the Mississippl, preceded the Canton bredk, flooding 4,000 acres of farm land. MISSISSIPPI LEVEE BREAKS. 200 Homies Are Flooded at Canton, Mo, by Swollen River. CANTON, Mo., April 22 (#)—The Mississippi was on & tear again today, throwing its strength, intensified by waters from swollen tributaries, against the levees here and on the Illinois side of the river. The Canton levee crumbled yesterday, flooding more than 200 homes. The Canton break followed a similiar one in the Fabius River levee which flooded 4,000 acres of farm land. The Fabius is a Mississippi tributary, and the break occurred near the point where it empties into the larger stream. A por- tion of the Mississippl levee was dyna- mited last night so that the Fabius overflow could escape. It was expected that this would equalize the pressure and save other levees in the flood dis- trict. Drainage ditches in the South Quincy garden district, on the Illinois side of the Mississippi, are oyer their banks, with the streets of the village of Marblehead under water. The Lima Lake drainage district is confronted with a similiar menace. The North Fablus district, on the Missouri side, is watchipg the turbulent Fabius, and hundreds of sandbags have been piled atop the levee to prevent a break that might flood 15,000 acres, in- cluding the village of Taylor.

Arnold of the National Broadcastins the sympathetic nervous system were of no value to them. If they had to loss | fend for themselves, he pointed out, they probably would be at a great dis- advantage. This experiment, it was pointed out in the discussion following the paper, may deal a death blow to the famous James-Lange theory of the emotions which has long held sway in psychology. This holds that a man or an- imal facing danger is afraid not because of the danger, but because of the ad- justments of the body to meet the danger—that is, that he is afraid be- cause he runs, and does not run be- cause he is afraid. With the adjusting mechanism removed, Dr. Cannon show- ed, the animal is afraid just the same. ‘The operation was performed on mon- keys to find what effect it would have on animals standing erect, such as men, but the result was the same as with cats and dogs. Study Relation fo Fever. Another important line of study opened up by this operation, it was pointed out, is on the mechanism of fever, which has been considered one of the protective functions of the sym- pathetic nervous system. In his experiments with Memertian worms Dr. Coe cut the creatures into minute pieces, some almost microscopic, but instead of dying each bit began to develop new organs after a few days and developed into & perfect individual.

Callender of the Army Medical Corps. Dr. Lamb's statement for disposition of his body read in part as follows: *“I, Daniel Smith Lamb, object to bur- ial or incineration, post mortem, in my own person, and had rather after my death, and if practicable, before auy« embalming is done, that an autopsy be made upon my body by some competent person, who wlil remove the brain and such other organs as it may be desirable to preserve. If also it can be arranged to preserve the skeleton, that shall be done and it shall be donated either to the Army Medical Museum, where I gave 54 years of service, or to the How- ard Medical School, where I gave 50 years. Suggests Preservative Solution. “The brain without incising it, un- less diseased, should be promptly placed in a preservative solution. The follow- ing is recommended; of a 40 per cent formalin solution, one pint of water, five pints of common salt two ounces (four level tablespoonsful). The jar should be six inches in inside diameter; if a larger vessel is used, then there should be proportionately more liquid; the brain should be covered and float and should not flatten against the bot- tom of the jar. “The brain should be forwarded to the curator of the Wilder brain col- lection at Stimson Hall, Cornell Uni- versity, for preservation and study. “Any other organs that may b pre- served shall be at the joint disposition of my wife, Dr. Isabel Haslup Lamb; my daughter, Lillie Praley Carney, and my son, Dr. Robert Scott Larub, if these persons or one of more of them should be living. “The above stated wishes, recommen- dations and instructions are dependent for their enactment upon the approvil of the three persons named, but as they express my earnest.wish, I hope that the said three persons will co-operate to fulfill my wishes.

Only One Man Sighted. i He saw beneath the Kocka Burra a body stretched out under one of its wings, and, swooping lower, he thought he could make out Lieut. Anderson. He dropped a parachute containing water, but when the figure beneath the plane did not move he concluded he was dead. He saw nothing of the second man aboard the plane. The smoke which at- tracted his attention came from a sec- tion of grass and brush which had been set afire nearby, evidently in the hope of attracting attention. The fire had long since died down, but was still smoldering. He was unable to find a place to land. ‘The position was given as in a wild and uninbabited section. Brain re- turned and a pack train almost im- mediately started in the direction he had described. Hope was held here that the figure seen below the plane was only exhausted and not dead and that the other of the two men would be found alive and safe. Anderson Searched for Foe. Lieut. Anderson formerly was asso- ciated with Capt. Charles Kingsford Smith of the Southern Cross, but later the two broke and considerable animos- ity developed between them. Despite this, when the Southern Cross was lost on its attempted flight from Sydney to Wyndham. Anderson was one of the first to volunteer to hunt for him. Lieut. Anderson was credited with having brought down nine German planes during the war. BUILFORD DEFEATS PARTISAN IN FIRST J. E.

Howard Keefer, Army pilot, was blamed today by the San Diego Board of Air Control for the midair collision of his Army pursuit plane and an air liner that cost six lives, including his own, here yesterday. A statement by J. Allison Moore, president of the board, issued after an investigation, declared that Keefer had been stunting and otherwise violating air traffic rules. ‘The tragedy, the second of its kind in San Diego in three days and the most disastrous in the history of the city, oc- curred shortly after the air liner, owned by the Maddux Air Lines, Inc., and car- rying five passengers, took off for Phoenix, Ariz.

(Copyright, 1929, by the New York Times Company.) LITTLE AMERICA, Antartica, April 21.—The blizzard, which has been rag- ing here, blew itself out in the night and today is clear and eold—52 below. There is no wind, however, and Bernt Balchen, Dean Smith and Jack O'Brien went for a walk down on the bay ice and along the grey line of jagged prese sure ridges. Comdr. Byrd goes down there nearly every day no matter what the weather and every one tries to get out for a time and take some exercise. We are on our Winter schedule now and get up at 8:30. We have two meals a day, with coffee in een. Bed time is 10 o'clock, and a few hardy souls read a short time by the light of a candle or a lantern beside their bunk until their hands get too cold to hol the book, and that isn't long. Coman Braves Cold Sans Clothes. Dr. Coman, who has been studying the effect of low temperatures on the { body, took the opportunity of the coid |day and the prospect of a bath to te his own resistance to cold. Much our amusement he ran outdoors w out clothes. He ran as fast as he could and was hitting a good pace at the end in order to keep from slipping. He had caribou slippers on his fec:, Steam rose from him as if from a loco- motive going up a grade and his breatn rolied out in clouds. He raised at least a 20-mile wind in his run over and it burned his body like fire. The backs of his fingers and hands were white from being nipped, when he dashed into the other house and up to the stove, but the rest of his body was untouched. When he came back he walked and as there was no wind, he felt no bad effects at all. He even stopped at the thermometer shelter and opened it to see what the temperature was and then strolled in as nonchalantly as if he had been clothed. Balloon “Record” Is Set. Harrison also made what is believed to be the record low temperature bal- loon run. He stood outside at his in- strument following the rise of the loon for 46 minutes. He was bundled up well and had a handkerchief tied across his nose. But handling the screws on the instrument in thin gloves for such a long period at 152 degrees below is punishing and his hands were pretty cold when he came in. His right heel also was slightl: frozen from standing still. He an Haines have the coldest work of all thu: Winter. We had one of our most en. joyable broadcasting evenings yester day, when many friends of Comdr. Byrd were brought together &t the Ne: York Ciub in New York to talk to him. 1o Most of them were newspaper pub lishers who surprised us all when they told of the interest being taken in thel expedition by those at home. The; were corralied apparently by Joe Bar num, publisher of the Syracuse Post Standard and a close friend of the commander and the expedition. “That was just like Joe to do that saild the commander. “He is one off the very best friends back home. It is] just the sort of thing he would do, and 1t was splendid to hear them all.” Messages of Death Shock Party. ‘The talks helped to make it as pleas-| ant a day as we have had in a long| time. It ended, however, in an echo! of tragedy which deeply affected us. After the talks messages from home were read. One was to one of the be: of our company, a fine fellow, who ha: listened to his mother speak a short time before. A message to him an- nounced the death of his brother. Ane other man recevied word of the death of two relatives. So it can be seen that at times we watch with dread the box from which word comes from home. |STATUE OF LA FOLLETTE UNVEILED ON THURSDAY Arrangements were completed today for exercises to be held in Statuary Hall at the Capitol at 2 o'clock Thursday afternoon for the unveiling of the statue of the late Senator Robert M.
