4 FARM RELIEF CHIEF WINS O ABILITY Morgenthau Was Interested in Soil as Young Man in Texas. Bi GRACE HENDRICK EUSTIS. Under the benevolent rule of Henry Morgenthau, jr., the Federal Farm Board has been changed from a maze of complications, out of which even Houdini would have emerged with his hands manacled, to a potentally efficient organ for farm relief. Son of the distinguished lawyer, Am- ‘bassador, expert on foreign politics and author, Mr. Morgenthau drifted into an interest in agricultural matters as a young man. His family sent him out to a cattle ranch in Western Texas to recover from a serious attack of scarlet fever. Here he became so absorbed in the products of the soil and their mar- keting that when he came back, he returned to Cornell University, where he had matriculated, and took a course in agriculture in the State college there. Then he bought an apple farm in Dutchess County, N. Y. Shortly after that a young man, who was then the Assistant Secretary of the Navy, named Franklin D Roosevelt, asked him if he would be sheriff of the county. This offer Mr. Morgenthau promptly turned down. In 1916 he married a Miss Elinor Fat- man of New York and by this marriage he has three children. In 1922 an opportunity came his way and he took it. He bought the Amer- ican Agriculturist, the second oldest farm publication in the United States. This he enjoyed intensely and when Mr. Roosevelt, then Governor, undiscouraged by his failure to make Mr. Morgenthau sheriff, asked him to serve on his Agri- cultural Advisory Commission, the die wast cask. Mr. Morgenthau's energy and interest were funneled into one stream. Tax Reduction Idea. This agricultural commission started out with the idea of reducing rural taxa- tion. Before the commission came into existence, the system of taxing the dis- tricts in New York State was that the richer the district, the more it got back from the State for schools and high- ways. This the commission decided to reverse so that the district with a low valuation should set more State aid. The principal object was to put the rural schools on the ssme basis as city schools and to provide a system of good roads in farm regions. By accomplishing this with a com- bination of votes in New York City, plus the rural votes, with bitter opposi- tion from some of the upper New York State cities, a saving of $25,000,000 in rural taxation was made. Mr. Morgenthau gives the cerdit for this bolstering of the agricultural com- munities of New York State to Frank- | lin D. Roosevelt. “He did more in this | respect in his two terms as Governor | than other Governors have done in a lifetime.” ‘he said. This was due, he | continued, not only to the fact that| as a Democratic Governor he could count on the enormous New York City vote, but because he was genuinely in- terested in helping the farmers. Now Mr. Morgenthau is governor of the Farm Credit Administration. This title was created on March 27, when : President Roosevelt issued an executive | order consolidating all Government | agencies having to do with permanent farm_legislation into one, own as | the Farm Credit Administration. | Passing of the Board. ! The order went into effect May 27 and the Federal Farm Board, that poor old lady who had struggled in a vague way to mount the farmer on a horse that would run, who had spent mil- lions in the attempt and who had shriveled up with a waterless diet of | the dej , was given a lethal dose. | Her c , Mr. Morgenthau, who had come :in (with this administration, then became governor of the Farm Credit Association. Farm aid for the last 16 years has been a hound-ridden experiment. In 1916 Congress an act creating 12 Federal Land Banks throughout the United States. They represented a partnership between the farmer and the Government and were formed for the purpose of making first mortgage | Joans to farmers at low interest rates. The Government subscribed most of | the initial capital of these land banks, and the bulk of the loan funds was raised by a sale of bonds to the public. Their business was transacted through National Farm Loan Associations, who bought stock in the banks and investi- gated and checked loans. | ‘This picture was pretty as a posy until 1931. The Land Banks had paid Mildred Moore. | AREBEING PROMOTED THIS List Completing Eighth-G THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTO 359 PUBLIC SCHOOL PUPILS WEEK rade Courses Will Resume Studies in Senior High Institutions. A total of 350 eighth-grade puplils of | the public schools are being promoted to senior high school this week, accord- ing to lists made public at the Frank- ll{l hSChoo] Administration Building last night. While a few years ago this total was well up in the thousands, the gradual institution of the junior high school system has reduced the number of chil- dren going into first year high school from elementary school to its present comparatively low figure. Meanwhile the number of children | entering high school from the junior high schools is increasing rapidly each year. Their names will appear in The Star tomorrow, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday as the individual junior high schools conduct their commence- ments., It will be only a few years, school officials hope, before all Wash- ington public school children enter senior high school after three years in_the junior high schools. « The 359 eighth grade pupils pro- moted follow, by divisions and schools: First Division.

Free Course. | A total of -279 Washington men learned to swim during the recent Star- Y. M. C. A. swimming course, according to a report submitted to The Star yes- terday by Ralph W. Foster, director of physical education of the Y, M. C. A. Of this number, 85 men developed sufficient additional skill to pass the Y. M. C. A, beginners’ swimming test and will receive buttons certifying to that accomplishment. The beginners’ test involved jumping off into deep water and swimming at least 50 feet. There was an overflow of applicants for the free lessons, Foster said, and these men, together with all who did not become eligible for beginners’ but- tons, will be offered free additional in- struction beginning tomorrow and con- tinuing through next Saturday. All men who failed to obtain instruction during the regular course are invited " |to sign up at the Central Y. M. C. A., 1736 G street, for the supplementary * (lessons, There will be no fees or other | * | obligations. The extra classes will be held daily this week at 10 am., 12:15 pm., 5:30 pm. and 7:45 p.m. Kenneth Clayton sons, teaching the applicants how to do the “American crawl” ‘The total registration for the orig- inal course was 449 men—a record for “Learn-to-Swim” campaigns here. Not all of the registrants were able to com- plete the course, however. Many of those who did not learn to swim at that time are expected to accept the opportunity to continue their lessons until they master the art. Six lessons are not enough for some persons, espe- clally those who have a real dread of the water, it is pointed out. In a letter to The Star yesterday, Mr. Foster said: “I am confident that you fully realize what a worthy project this campaign proved to be. The knowledge and skill nt%med by practically every registrant will not only be a real source of pleas- ure and a beneficial form of exercise for future indulgence, for swimming is one of the very best forms of exercise, muscle groups of the body, but will also be a permanent acquisition which will undoubtedly mean a saving of many lives from the water-accident route. On behalf of the Department of ciation to The Star for your co-opera- tion in this most worthy cause.” 5 Marriage Licenses. George E.

C, JUNE 18. 1933—PART TWO._ D. C. Doctor, R. LYMAN B. SWORMSTED, 2 Thomas circle, Washington's oldest practicing physician, to- morrow will observe his 80th birthday anniversary. He has been in active practice as a family doctor for 56 years—53 of them in Washington—and he still keeps regu- lar office hours and attends to a large clientele of patients. He has seen Washington change from a muddy, ill- lighted, sprawling city—where the physician always carried a stout club to repel thugs when he was called out at night—to the ornate National Capital of today. e has lived through the age of miracles in the history of medi- cine. When Dr. Swormsted went back to the little college town of Westminster, Md,, with a brand-new medical diploma from Philadelphia 56 years ago to be- come “the young doctor,” he went into a very archaic picture as judged by the medical practice of today. Every year a mysterious disease known as “in- flammation of the bowels” took its toll of lives sumption,” concerning which physicians knew only that it was an almost in- evitably fatal breaking down of lung tissue for which they could do very little. “Appendicitis” and *tuberculosis™ still were quite a ways in the future. Victims died or got well, according to laws of which the doctor knew nothing. Smallpox Frequent Concern. Smallpox was a matter of frequent | concern. | was a practicing physician in West- minster. He got a lot of practical medical training as a boy. Every time there was a smallpox scare there would job was to make the vaccine, using macerated tissue from the scabs on the arms of children. With this home- made vaccine they gave protection to hundreds and never had a bad result from the treatment. This was long before the day of writ- ing prescriptions to be filled at the corner drug store. Dr. Swormsted and his father used to make most of the medicine they prescribed. As a small boy he was taken into the woods by “the old doctor” and taught the me- dicinal properties of various herbs. It was a thoroughly practical course in medicinal ‘botany. After that his Summer job was to roam over the coun- tryside about Westminster gathering these herbs—lobelia for fevers and coughs, boneset for malaria and pneu- and scores of other plants which largely have passed out of medical practice. In those days only a few specific dis- eases were recognized, the treatment vidual doctor. Dr. Swormsted remembers when the discoveries of Pasteur and Koch, which have revolutionized medicine, were | matters of debate before local medical societies. One disease after another he has seen conquered by the miracle workers in the great laboratories. He has seen “inflammation of the bowels” pass from a mysterious, fatal disease to the familiar appendicitis which is ‘cured by a simple operation. He has seen “consumption” change to the | tuberculosis which can be both cured | and prevented. He has seen the in- | troduction of diphtheria anti-toxin | which has practically wiped out the | most dreaded of child diseases. Many New Ailments. But, he says, he also has seen dis- | eases muitiply. Many of the ailments of today were unheard of when he started medical practice. The more medicine advances the more the field | widens. It is harder to practice today, he says, than when he first came to | Washington. ‘Then the diagnosis and treatment of sickness were fairly sim- ple because there were not many dis- eases or remedies to choose between. ‘Then folks had “fever.” Now there are scores of kinds of fevers which must be differentiated and treated differ- ently. But the doctor himself, the veteran physician believes, hardly has improved at the same pace as his science. The old-fashioned physiclan had few tools | to work with, but he did remarkably well with them. The field has nar- | rowed. In his father's day, the family | doctor was a general practitioner to an extent almost incomprehensible - | today. He was consulted about bodily | ailments and also about financial pre- . | dicaments, family quarrels, education | of children, plans for building a new | house, etc. ~His profession ~covered practically the whole field of human | activities. He had to be a botanist, a | chemist, a pharmacist, a psychiatrist, an_economist, a social worker.

He saw them change to two-horse cars, then to cable cars. The roar of the cables used to keep him awake at night. This was long before the day of telephones. He learned to sleep lightly. He would wake at the sound of & step on his front step and | be starting to dress by the time the | doorbell rang. His transportation was one of the “night-liners”—hacks which cruised along Fourteenth street. Often Bottom. He was called to set a broken leg of a saloon keeper who lived over his bar room one night with a near riot going on underneath. The saloon keeper's wife, threatening bottle in hand, cleaned out the bar so the doctor could work undisturbed. Science In Infancy. Dr. Swormsted has kept up with the advances in medicine but he thinks they “are just a beginning.” The greatest miracles are still to come. Some day, he believes, the scientists will have “matched up” every dis- ease. They will have found cures for the various kinds of cancers. They will have found the causes of all the mysterious ailments which still baffle physicians. In his own day, he says, medicine has changed very largely from a cura- tive to a preventative art. He believes | its future progress will be in this di- rection. Folks will continue to fall sick and die, but the day may come when the graves must wait for the in- evitable scythe of age for their occu- pants.

He | stopped when about 200 of his con- | temporaries had passed from the scene. | In some ways, he says, the scene | has changed for the better and in some |wsys for the worse. Despite the fact | that the old-time physician considered a club or a revolver as much a part of his equipment as a medicine bag in answering a night call, Dr. Swormsted believes the streets were safer then gwlhn‘r: now. He was never interfered th. | ~Dr. Swormsted is a living testimonial to the efficacy of his own medicine. At 80 he is more active than many a | young physician. His only serious ill- ness came two years ago when his hip was broken when he was knocked down by an automobile. As a result of this he carries a cane, but proudly announces that he “can get along with- out it and just keep it with me so as not to be too reckless.” Tomorrow will be just another day of active practice. But in the evening a small exclusive club of physicians of which he is a member will meet to do him honor. Ordinarily they meet Tues- day night, once a month, but his 80th birthday was considered of sufficient moment to put the meeting ahead one day. Y. M. C. A. Quartet Entertains. The Y. M. C. A.
