Sixty tubercular children, who have lived out of doors at the Summer camp of the Washington Tuberculosis Asso- clation, on & sunny, wooded knoll near Fourteenth and Upshur streets, were sent back to their homes today, many to conditions which may tend to sap the resistance bullt up during the Sum- mer months. The camp's season, which opened June 1, came to a close today. The District has no hospital facilities available for tuberculars under 14 years unless actually bedridden. While Con- gress has authorized $500,000 for the construction of a children’s tuberculosis sanitorium, plans for the institution are as yet incomplete. Camp Reveals Need. ‘The Children’s Health Camp, since its establishment in 1908, has been Tre- garded by welfare workers as a major factor in demonstrating the immediate need for such a sanitorium. This year the camp, financed by the Washington Tuberculosis _Association, been filled to its capacity of 60 pa- tlents, or about & seventh of the chil- dren who have been diagnosed as tu- by the Health Department. ‘While many patients were in need of a longer period of treatment, enroll- ments have been curtaild to 30 days since the vp:enlnl to mnlgmmndlu as many youngsters as possible. ln’!%lu of the limited accommoda- tions, the camp is Tegarded as a model in many ways. The semi-tents in which the children live are particularly attractive to them. Like small brown playhouses, topped with canvas, they are sheltered by big trees which encom- pass & sunny clearing. Camp Is Attractive. ‘The open space is roomy and ample for the play-time, rest-time activities of the young patients. Under the super- vision of a staff of trained nurses they Joll on their cots in the sunlight or do handicraft work designed to interest sick children without taxing their strength. Physicians visitéd the camp each morning and evening from the adja- cent tuberculosis hospital. The service: of the hospital's director of occupa- tional-therapy were also available. With this trained personnel in charge hours were sped until dusk brought radio entertainment and story-telling. Twice each week at sundown a general marshmallow roast was held before a campfire. Full-Day Treatment Best. ‘hist of the camp it Early in the history d% for its maintenance. until 1921 the camp gave day-time care during the Summer to contact and un- dernourished patients. The next year the association, through its nutrition classes, learned of many tubercular children in the District who stood in need of special treatment, and it was decided to admit only patients who had been diagnosed as actually tubercular. It was found, however, that patients did not show hoped for progress. Go- ing home at night, they encountered conditions that nullified to some extent benefits of day-time treatments. Number of Patients Grow. Then a number of tents were pur- chased and the camp equipped to pro- vide sanitorium care, both day and night. That year 30 children took ad- vantage of the new hospitalization and in subsequent years this number has steadily increased. Laxty April Congress Wwas asked to Amend the original appropriation of $500,000 to provide $625,000 for the tu- berculosis sanitorium. A committee has peen appointed by the District Com- missioners to make a thorough study, both of the peculiar needs of the Dis- trict and of similar institutions through- t the country. ouMuch has been nccumgmhzd along this line and welfare workers hope for an early start on the actual construc- tion of the sanitorium. RESCUED FROM SEA Farmer, Driven Into Water by Bull, Is Saved by Yacht. STOCKHOLM (/P)—Driven into the sea by a maddened bull, Severin John- son, a farmer on the Idholmen Island, near Stockholm, was dramatically res- cued by the combined efforts of a steam yacht and an airplane. Johnson'’s agon- ized calls attracted attention aboard the yacht, which lay at anchor nearby. A dingy was lowered, and when the bull was finally driven away by the sailors it was found that the farmer had suf- red bad bruises. uAn ambulance seaplane was therefore ordered by telephone from the Stock- holm airport and the injured man wag rushed to a hospital in the capital.

By the Associated Press. BALTIMORE, Md, September 13.— Gordon Stanley’s alleged trick of selling bricks and jars of water for eggs worked \'flne for several days, but it brought him grief today. He was held under $2,000 bond for action of the grand jury, and the commission merchants, who said they had been defrauded, had to contribute $12.50 to send his wife and the Stanley baby back to Beaver Dam, Hanover County, Va. Between 75 and 100° Baltimore mer- chants were said by police to have paid Stanley at the rate of 28 cents a dozen for crates presumed to hold-30 dozen each.

CARTER HALL ESTATE SMOKE HOUSE ROBBED Owner of Famous Estate Recovers 18 of 20 Stolen Hams From Fodder Stacks in Fields Special Dispateh to The Star. ‘WINCHESTER, Va.; September 13— Gerard D, Lambert, wealthy Missourian, who last Fall acquired the famous old Carter Hall estate in Clark County, Va., original home place of the Bur- wells, is keeping his choice Virginia these days as a result of an experience with robbers a few nights ago. Mr. Lambert had 20 large hams hanging up in the smoke house on the estate, being primed for baking this Fall and Winter for the entertainment of his guests. When B. B. McKay, farm manager, opened the smoke house yesterday he found that all the hams had been car- ried away. Employes who made a search found 13 hams hidden in fodder shocks on the farm, but there was no trace of the others. McKay surmised that the thief had secreted the hams in the corn shocks, awaiting a favor- able opportunity to market them. Mr. Lambert, who divides his time between Princeton, N. J,, and Carter Hall, or- dered extra locks placed on the smoke | house and other protective measures, | sugar-cured hams under a firmer lock | IAR. ORPHANS - TOGOTO SCHOOL Legion and Emerson Institute Co-operate in Educational Plan. With a view to furthering the edu- cation of war orphans, the District of Columbia Chapter of the American | Legion has completed negotiations with Emerson Institute, whereby scholar- ships, one to be awarded each year for four years and four to be awarded each year following that period, will be avail- able to the sons of those who met their death as a result of the World War. ‘The first to take advantage of this offer is Warren E. Black, 20-year-old son of the late Maj. John Walter Black, who served with the American forces in the war and died in France in 1918. Young Black, who is employed as a telegraph messenger, resides with his mother at 6207 Eighth street. Eligibles for the scholarships will be ascertained through the files in the Vet- erans' Bureau, which have been made available to the legion through the courtesy of Director Hines. Those eligible to receive the award will be notified and their applications in turn received. It is estimated that there are approximately 250 war orphans in the District. Serving on the Scholarship Commit- tee other than Gen. Hines, who will act in an advisory capacity, are C. B. Stovall, chairman, and Eunice Dessez. ‘The recipient’s tuition fee will be borne by the institution, Emerson offi- cials having agreed to co-operate with the Leglon to the extent of providing the tuition free, and other expenses incurred will be paid by the Legion.

Reorganization of two of the Govern- ment's most important organizations, the Tariff Commission and the Federal Reserve Board, will become effective this week. Two veterans in Government service will become the new heads of these two agencies. Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsyl- vanja, for many years one of the Na- tion's diplomats, will become chairman of the Tariff Commission on Tuesday. The same day Eugene Meyer of New York, who steered the War Finance Corporation and Federal Farm Loan Board through strenuous days, will take over the governorship of the Federal Reserve Board. Four Names Ready. President Hoover is ready to name the other four members of the Tariff Com- mission in_time to take office on Tues: day, the deadline fixed by the Smoot. Hawley tariff act for its reorganiza- tion. Thomas Walker Page, & Virginia Democrat, who once before served on the Tariff Commission, is the only other nominee whose choice for the new com- mission has been announced at the White House. The new law requires that the reor- ganized tariff body be composed of three Democrats and three Republicans. Of the six members now on the board it is regarded as certain that Edgar D. Brossard of Utah, a Republican, and Alfred P. Dennis of Maryland, a Demo- crat, will continue in ~service. This leaves two more places to be filled, and it is reported that the President decided upon the men for these. Heavy Work Awaits Tarift Group. A host of work confronts the new Tariff Commission. Even before its re- organization, the special investigators have been put to work on the scores of investigations ordered by Congress into the newly enacted rates in the Smoot- Hawley act. The recent tariff act places upon the commission the responsibility for fix- ing the rates, giving to the President the power either to accept or veto its recommendation. Meyer will succeed as governor of the Federal Reserve Board Roy Young, who resigned to become the governor of the Boston Federal Reserve Bank. The ap- pointment of Meyer was made possible when Edmund D. Platt, the vice gover- nor, resigned. Both Platt and Meyer come from the New York Federal Re- serve district, and the law provides that not more than one member of the board shall come from the same district. No Early Appointment Expected. Platt is quitting | the board after many years’ service to become a mem- ber of a Buffalo, N. Y, firm. His va- cancy is still to be filled. Mr. Hoover has a wide fleld from which to select, but he still has an open mind and no early appointment is in prospect. MRS. EUPHRASIA BOYERS DIES SUDDENLY AT HOME Special Dispatch to The Star.

Carl Williams, Farm Board member representing cotton, said last night the almost total absence of reaction on either the New Orleans or New York market to the Government’s August cot- ton consumption report was the most optimistic sign of improvement he had seen this season. ‘The report showed 206,417 less bales consumed during August than for the corresponding month a year ago and but save for the faintest trace of fluctu- ations the effect on the market was probably the slightest at any time since monthly reports have been made on consumption. Williams said the situation indicated a definite realization that cotton prices had hit the bottom and that it had put mills, which long had waited to see if prices were going lower, in position to fix prices for their seasonal pur- chases and had increased the buying power both here and abroad. More cotton is being bought now, he said, than at any time in the last six months. e Motor bus lines are to be established as feeders to a railroad in the Philij pines, TELEGRAPH OFFICES TO BE AT GAS STATIONS Installation of 100 Western Union Branches to Be Followed by Similar Postal Action.

COSTE WILL WAIT T0 RECEIVE §25,000 Tour Plans Prevent Getting Prize at Boston Legion Session October 9. By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, September 13.—The good will tour to be begun Monday will interfere with carrying out the sugges- tion cabled to Dieudonne Coste and Maurice Bellonte today that they ac- cent the $25,000 Easterwood prize for their flight to Dallas, Tex., on the last day of the American Legion Conven- tien, in Boston, on October 9. The t itinerary calls for the French fiyers to be in Philadelphia on October 9. and spokesmen for the fiyers and the Tour Committee said it would be impossible to change the schedule, Boston is the first overnight stop on the good will flight and Phnaderpm. the last, and it was not felt that it would be advisable to visit the Massa- chusetts city twice before going to the | Pennsylvania city, even if the schedule had not already been finally decided on. ‘The flyers complete their tour on | October 10 and after that would be able to receive the prize wherever Col. William E. Easterwood, the donor, might designate. Easterwood today cabled from Paris a suggestion to Coste that the check might be presented in Boston. The cablegram was sent in care of the national commander of the Legion, who was asked to invite Coste and Bellonte there on that date. E. R.
