STAR., WASHINGTON, .D. .C., TUESDAY, DECEMBER 17. 1929. SELLS YULE SEALS FROM WHEEL CHAIR Crippled . Sailor Captains Team at Tuberculosis Hospital. “Smiling” Frank Phelps, just a sailor Jad who was taken to the Tuberculosis { Hospital two and a half years ago a helpless cripple with arthritis of the legs and an active infection of the lungs, has added & side line to his trade as news- boy as he wheels himself about the ‘wards of the institution every afternoon selling the daily papers to fellow pa- tents. Frank has been made captain of the men’s ward for the hospital sale of Christmas seals. He sells the seals with his papers and also takes the names of prospects given him by other patients and has the seals mailed to them. In his long siege at the big hospital at Fourteenth and Upshur streets Frank has made a fine comeback. Although as yet unable to walk, he looks well, with bright eyes and round cheeks. As he pushes his wheel chair among the bed- ridden patients he has a friendly word of encouragement and a smile for all. Hence his nickname. His idea of seclling newspapers came | to him about six months ago after ke had improved so much that he was able to0 use 8 wheel chair. Prior to that time he kept his mind off his troubles b)‘} making hand-woven belts. That instruction was given to him, as to others at the hospital, by Mrs. | Agnes H. Stewart, director of the occu- pational therapy department, and her assistant, Miss Naomi McKenny, who | are employed for this service by the| ‘Tuber sis Association, using a por-| tion of'the funds raised by the annual sale of the Christmas seals. ) That is one reason why “Smiling” Frank and others are keenly interested in booting the present seal sale. They have organized the several wards into Tival teams, and where there are not patients able to give active service the nurses volunteered to serve as team captains. Their goal is at least the sale of $500 worth of the seals, and nearly half that amount is already in sight. Yesterday's cash receipts at the Christmas seals sale headquarters, in | the Social Service House, 1022 Eleventh street, advanced the total of seals sold up to more than 2,200,000 of penny life-savers. This means that in the six business days remaining before Christmas 1,800,000 more seals must be cashed at a cent each in order that the minimum amount for the next years’ ‘budge may be raised by the Tubercu- losis Association.

SMITH. Speclal Dispatch to The Star. DETROIT, Dacember 17.—"I am here just to work and to gain knowledge by actual experience of industrial proc- esses which I hope to turn to good ac- count for my country when I return.” This is the explanation given me by Stephen De Horthy, 25-year-old son of Admiral Horthy, the regent of Hun- gary, for taking a job in the Ford Motor Co. here. Young Horthy, who was graduated from the Royal Technical College of the University of Budapest last May, recently had modest mention in the newspapers when it was an- nounced that he would work at the Ford plant. Mass Production Is Studied. ‘Young Horthy’s “job,” as he explains it, is a year's intensive study of ecenomics and methods of mass pro- duction for which the Ford Motor Company is famous. Behind this purpose is the story of modern Hungary. Reduced by the terms of peace to a fraction of its former size, bereft of sea outlet and industrial territory, with two-thirds of its population idle for nearly eight months of the year, Hungarian leadtrs face an acute na- tional problem. Young Horthy's answer to the question What to do? is “Buck up and go to work at new industries.” That is why he is in Detroit—to learn something of “new industries.” The son of Admiral Horthy afrived in New York, November 12. From May to September he was in Uganda and the Belgian Congo, hunting big game with his uncle, Eugene Horthy. After a short visit to the Hungarian Minister, Count Szechenyi, at Washington, he proceeded to Detroit. “*n Uganda we shot elephants, rhinos an® other big game, and brought home quite a collection of trophies for our national meseum,” Stephen said. Likes Motor Cycle Racing. “But of all sports I think I like motor cycle racing best. We have more motor cycles than automobiles in Hungary, for our roads, outside the large cities, are not adapted to motoring. “Next to motor cycle racing, I like polo best. It is a wonderful sport, and we play it much in our country.” One who knows young blood and muscle feels that this young man, {slender and wiry, standing 6 feet 2 inches, with jet black hair, level, dark, frank eyes and the features of his father—the fearless man-of-the-sea— would be a dangerous opponent skim- i ming over the green on a tough Magyar lo_pony. po“Ng.‘?l {0 polo, T love aviation best. I got my pilot’s license in 1925, and flying is a wonderful sport. But I am here to work, to learn the secret of the success of American industrial methods, for manufacturing industry is the only future outlet for the pent-up energies of my countrymen.

That indicates that we can go heavily into manufac- turing industry if we can get the raw materials and the capital for operation. “Of water power—except for small mills—we have almost none, and we are largely dependent on imported coal for factory fuel.” Plan to Take Up Slack. “You see,” Stephen continued, “while agriculture is our mainstay, and the country is well supplied with railroad facilities, we must plan to take up that slack time of our people, enforced by climatic conditions—and by our lack of manufacturing industries. “We now manufacture three types of automobiles, the Weiss-Manfred, the Mag and Raba trucks—with a few auto- mobiles of the latter make. But these automobiles are all high priced, costing in United States money, from $1,100 to $2.300. Only the more prosperous can afford them. Besides, until we have mcre improved highways, the peasantry will stick to horses and motor cycles with sidecars.” “Do you expect, then, to start manu- facture of a cheap car for general use, when you return to Hungary?” “I haven't the slightest idea,” he re- plied. “I am not interested merely in ADoK WASHINGTON'S NEWESTI 500 ROOMS RADIO IN EVERY ROOM HAND BALL COURT - SWIMMING POOL Complimentary to Guests Heatr Cuus RATES FROM $300 Special Rates to Permanent Guess [ S 148 K/ 2 A veawawaw ' — | $15 Delivers It Balance in Convenient Monthly Sums Brown and black suedes — kid, basket-weave de- signs — patents —and other chic new models—at much less than cost - to - make “Over Here!” and_other Poultry | and Roast Meats 'SEASONING | -ew v ew e This is how this extraordinary Opportunity—happened along just in time for Christmas: The largest shoe manufac- 1930 Spring season—stranded Beautiful silk lined—every one med with the highest Interwoven Socks Jor Christmas where in town can you find silk lined robes like these at .
