SUPPOSED SEERESS | BURNED T0 DEAT Widow Who Lived Alone Dies in Flames Near Elly, Va. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star. CULPEPER, Va., January 6.—Burn- ing to death in her from flames which are believed to have caught her clothing from an overheated wood - stove, Mrs. Sallie Yowell, an aged widow who lived alone, was found lifeless by her nephew, who observed the in th through a window and who broke through a barred door in an attempt to Tescue her. Her hair and practically all clothing had been burned from her body and the chair in which she was presumably sitting when overcome with smoke or flames also was destroyed, and the flames were eating through the floor of the room when the young man entered. Mrs. Yowell, who was known through- out her community as “Miss Sallie,” ‘was believed by many to have possessed clairvoylnt gifts and was locked upon )y many Dersons &s a sort of seeress. But she evidently was unable to fore- tell the future for herself, whatever she may have done for others. One son, Edward Yowell of Alta Vista, survives.

DICKSON JOINS FIGHT AGAINST Woman Famous for War Re- lief Work Comes Here to Offer Aid. Assists Former Schoolmate, Dr. Gilbreath, in Protec- tion of Children. BY GRETCHEN SMITH. President Hoover's Emergency Com- mittee for Employment has been joined by a new member, Mrs. Alice M. Dick- son, who responded to the President's invitation to come to Washington with the joy which comes to all brave war- riors girding themselves for battle. Mrs. Dickson is never happier than when engaged in relief work for human- ity. And if the work be of an emerg- ency nature, so much the better. She | brings to her work with the Emergency | Committee, over four years' experience in relief work among children and wom- en of war-stricken Europe, Again Mrs. Dickson has answered a call for volunteers in emergency work. She will be co-worker with a personal friend and old schoelmate at the Uni- versity of California, Dr. Liliian Gil- breath. Doing Women’s Work. “The work which Dr. Gilbreath and I are doing is fundamentally a woman's work,” said Mrs. Dickson, her brown eyes softened Wy a wealth of waving white hair, reflecting the deep sympathy for human distress which has always broght her into the front ranks of re- lief work. “There will doubtless be much mal- nutrition among little children as the aftermath of unemployment,” she ex- plained. “We are studying food con- ditions and markets throughout the country, By co-operating with experts, we have learned what are the best foods 1931, | for children to be obtained for the low- est prices throughout different sections of the country. By our studies, through the schools, women's clubs, parent- teacher associations and the press, we can suggest to mothers the best foods at the least cost to give to children during these times of stress. UNEMPLOYMENT MRS, ALICE M. DICKSON. —Harris-Ewing Photo. “Another work in which Dr. Gilbreath and I are interested, and which we feel should help in the unemployment erisis, is the repairing and remodeling of homes. The home is generally accepted as entirely a woman's work. Many hundreds of women have their homes remodeled or repaired at certain times of the year. Through articles and lec- tures, we hope to urge women who are financially able to do so to have work done on their homes now. Such work will give employment to hundreds out of work. In many cases, the work can be done now, instead of postponing or waiting until a later time.” Safeguarding permanent injury to children through malnutrition during troubled times: directing women’s at- tention to work on their homes, which will benefit hundreds of unemployed, are but a few of the problems which these two efficiency experts, Lillian Gil- breath and Alice Dickson, will tackle with the purpose of helping others. Mrs. Dickson will remain in the Wash! n office, while her co-worker, Dr. Gill th goes forth into the field to study at first-hand the needs of women and ¢! dren suffering from the consequences of ‘..hers and husbands ‘unemployed.

Not “Debt Collectors.” A mistaken notion is widely preva- lent that the Marines are still being used in Nicaragua to “collect debts” for “Wall Street” or for other purposes not directly affecting the official interests of the United States. This contention is branded at the State Department as wholly inaccurate. The department de- clares that Marines have never been used for such purposes anywhere. our principal interest in Nicaragua is connection with another isthmian clnl-l to paral Panama Canal, or to take its place if the latter's usefulness is ever ended or its capacity for grow- ln[ interc traffic should turn out inadequate.

By the Associated Press. [ ., N. C.,, January 6—Six persons were dead today in the wake of a freakish windstorm that dipped down into two counties in North Caro- lina and one in Virginia late yesterday, leaving devastation in its path, Mrs. Grover Henderson was killed in the collapse of a farm house near Boydton, across the State line in Mecklenburg County, Va. Near Ridgeway, in Warren County, N. C., four colored persons were crushed to death by the falling timbers of their home, and a fifth, a girl, was killed in the collapse of a colored farm life school. Two colored persons were injured near Yanceyville, Caswell County, N. C., where the storm first struck, and a dozen or more were injured in the vicinity of Boydton, Ridgeway and Wise. After sweeping along for 20 miles in Caswell County, the storm apparently lifted and left two counties untouched. It struck again near Boydton and a third time near Norlina to cut a swath 6 miles long and uvenl hundred feet wide from Ridgeway to Wise. At least four dwellings, two colored churches and the cplored school were demolished between Ridgeway and Wise. Other buildings were damaged and trees uprooted all along the storm’s course. Several buildings were blown down or damaged near Yanceyville and Boydton. Chicago to Shelter Stray Dogs. CmCAOO.

WASHINGTON, IBIGGER BUSINESS COMBINES SEEN Statesmanship Institute Is Opened With Prediction of Chain Store Growth. By the Assoclated Press. WINTER PARK, Fla, January 5.— Forecasting & period of bigger business combines, with the declaration that America is moving economically for- ward, Dr. Harold B. Bruce, professor of political science, Dartmouth College, de- livered the nrmlnz address at the third annual Institute of Statesmanship here last night. > The general theme of the institute is “Our Changing Economic Life.” More Useful Chain Stores Due. Chain stores, Dr. Bruce said, “will grow larger and more useful; independ- ent merchants will thrive only where they are wise enough to adopt the methods of their corporate brother mer- chants, and_Government reglations will become mor# consolidated in the control of business. “Despite the difficulties that will al- ways attend large-scale business, one is forced by the unswerving trend of American economy to the conviction that we are yet to see a great development of big business in this country. The change in American public thought toward huge combines in re- cent years is “little short of miracu- lous,” Dr. Bruce said. Ol Fear Superseded. “With rallroads under congressional mandate to consolidate in tremendous operating units, with the Federal Trade Commission co-operating with large business concerns in planning lawful combinations, the old fear of curtailed production and increased prices under monopolistic control has been super- seded by pursuit of the objective of im- proved products, reduced prices and larger sales volume.” Dr. Bruce said Government regula- cepted method of applying the rule of {xeuombleneu in business combina- jon.” DOLPH TO MAKE ADDRESS Boys’ Club Trustee to Attend Mc- Kinley P.-T.

C, TUESDAY, MEANING OF WORD CRUX OF LONG SUIT | Modification of Packers’ Con- sent Decree Centered on Definition of “Monopoly.” By the Assoclated Pr CHICAGO, Jlnulry 6.—Modification of the packers’ consent decree yester- day marked the climax of a 10-year legal dispute which has centered on the proper definition of a “monopoly.” the Government and the “big four” Chicago packers, the decree’ later be- )il!lons of the last decade. It was the Government’s contention | that the Armour-Morris, Swift, Wilson | and Cudahy packing companies op- erated a vi fual “food trust.” Attorney General Palmer shortly after | the war served notice that he intended |||/ to file a suit charging this, his evidence ! it being based on an investigation by the Federal Trade Commission and the complaints of grocers competing with the packers. Decree Entered in 1920. ‘The “big four” response was the “consent decree,” which was en.ered into in February, 1920. It bound the packers to discontinue their activities in industries not directly connected with the preparation of meat. In the succeeding months, the Cali- fornia Co-operative Canneries entered the case and asked leave to intervene, whereby they unloaded for distribution and vegetables, finally brought about a suspension of the decree by the District of Columbia termined to secure its abolition, began litigation with the object of having the urt of the United States, by unani- mous consent, in March, 1928, uphtld it. Modification Sought. The following year, when farm re- lief reached a temporary peak of pub- lic interest, recognized spokesmen for cattle growers’ co-operatives in the West and fruit and vegetablc farmers in the East called on the Department of Agri- culture to urge a drastic modification, if not revocation of the decree. Their demands were countered by the Ameri- can Wholesale Grocers’ Association and National Wholesale Grocers’ Associa- tion, which, from the beginning, sup- ported the decree. Armour and Swift renewed their ef- forts to bring about a revision, and cited as one argument the contention that “so many organizations, including chain food stores, have developed to such an extent that any monopoly or restraint of trade is wholly impossible. that makes the dinner brilliant fort you CERTAINTY of depend- able performance... certainty of maximum com- with minimum attention « « « that’s what you get when otder your hard coal from King.
