THE SUNDAY STAR, WASHINGTON’, D. C., DECEMBER 2, 1934—PART ONE. CHRISTMAS SEALS House “Athletes” in Training RESPONSE LIVELY Record Sales Indicated by First-Day Receipts of More Than $5,000. Cash receipts and 2 flood of mail that indicate a record year for the sale of Christmas seals was Washing- ton's first response to the appeal of Dr. William Charles White, president | of the Tuberculosis Association. The first day’s receipts, even with- out checking the contents of a mass of unopened mail, was more than double the total cash received the first day of last year's Christmas seal sale. Including the advance orders for seals by some of the larger business firms, the payments thus far recorded indicate the cashing of the first half million of seals at lc each, or $5,000. Interest Lively. Hundreds of letters, with cash in- closed, expressed keen interest in the work of the Tuberculosis Association. A number of these made reference to the spot map of tuberculosis deaths in Washington, as printed in Dr. ‘White's letter mailed out to thousands of residents. In addition to the sale of the penny seals. the association asks that ail who feel the urgency of this fight to prevent the spread of the disease in Washington, may make such addi- tional cash contributions as they are able. Checks or cash may be sent to the Tuberculosis Association, 1022 Eleventh street, or to Walter S. Pratt, Jr., treasurer. Stars Aid Drive.

HERRON TO RECOVER Btar Advertising Manager Not to Lose Sight of Eye. Confident that his eyesight willl be unimpaired, Emergency Hospital physicians last night said Col. Leroy W. Herron, advertising manager of The Star, whose right eyeball was punctured in an automobile collision 10 days ago, will be able to leave the hospital about Wednesday. It was feared for a time that Col. Herron, who is commanding officer of the 313th Field Artillery, Organized Reserve, might lose the sight of the| injured eye. . Kramer Deplores Reference Works’ Scarcity in Homes Says School Children| Suffer From Inadequate Family Libraries. Scarcely one child in 10 who at- tends the District public schools, not excluding those of wealthy families, has at home even the bare essentials of a simple reference library. ‘This is the opinion of Dr. Stephen E. Kramer, first assistant superin- tendent of schools, who urged parents to provide their children with at least & good dictionary. an irtexpensive en- c)clopedm and an atlas. | “You would be surprised how few homes are supplied with these three books,” he declared. “I don't believe | that parents realize that their libra-| ries, even though extensive, often are inadequate through lack of refernce material. “Independent study is the most im- portant part of any child's education, and the child cannot be expected to| look up questions which arise during the course of his school work if he has to run to the public library to ascertain even the simplest fact not eontained in his text books.” He recommended that parents budget their incomes so as to provide Books for their children. q Possibly in anticipation of a hard season on the floor, members of the “athletic block” House gymnasium at the Capitol. of Congress have opened training quarters in the Photo shows Representative Kent Keller of Illinois, left, having & little workout with his secretary, Capt.

By the Assoclated Press. MUSKEGON, Mich., December 1.— Another thrilling chapter in the an- ° nals of Great Lakes rescues Wwas written today when, after hope had been almost abandoned. all 25 mem- bers of the wrecked “jinx" freighter Henry Cort's crew were taken off alive, although at the cost of one rescuer’s life. A 60-mile gale and one of the worst lake storms in years tossed the freight- | er. last “whaleback” on the lakes, | against the breakwater guarding the entrance to Muskegon Harbor as it | raced over Lake Michigan for shelter | last night. It still rested there to- night, hanging precariously to a rocky ledge, but its crew was safely ashore. Guardsman Killed. The only fatality came when John | Dipert, 23-year-old Coast Guardsman, answering his first life-saving call, was washed overboard from a small boat by a mountainous wave. Balked in their early rescue at- tempts, Coast Guardsmen all but gave up hope for the Cort’s crew, but today Capt. Charles V. Cox revealed that he and his crew was snugly quartered in the galley while the wind and waves threatened to send the vessel to the bottom. “Our stern was high in the air at an angle of 45 degrees,” said the cap- tain, “and there was a big hole in the bottom, but we figured we had nothing to fear as long as the wind did not change and blow us off the breakwater.” With daybreak, five Coast Guards- ! men made their way along the three- " | quarter-mile breakwater, buffeted by wind and waves. The Coast Guard boats and a shore crew made ready to shoot a breeches buoy line aboard. | But the self-reliant sailors took care | of all that themselves by sending a line to the breakwater head. ; Lashed Together. ‘ Down this line they came, one by | one, in an improvised breeches buoy. | Once on the breakwater, they were | lashed together in groups of threes | and, when the last man had left the ship, they started for shore. Half of their pathway was swept intermit- tently by towering waves and the | Journey was only slightly less perilous | than that from the ship to the pier IMPORTANT message to the Partially DEAF It is our privilege to present the newest FORTIPHONE — a marvelous invention that enables four out of five partially deaf people "fi'\row Off the Handicap of Deafness Never before has a hearing aid afforded such great power and at the same time such easy and natural hearing, even in advanced cases of deaf- ness.

By the Assoclated Press. SPRINGFIELD, Ill, December 1.— H. B. Hill, deposed chairman of the Abraham Lincoln Life Insurance Company of this city, was found shot to death tonight in an automobile abandoned on a highway about 3 miles from here. Sheriff's deputies, who hurried to the location, said first evidence failed to indicate clearly whether he had been slain or had ended his own life. Hill had been shot through the temple and a gun was found clutched in his hand, but the deputies said the car had apparently been shot at, bullets penetrated the rear window and the window near the driver's seat. The body was slumped in the rear seat of the machine. Hill's deposition as chairman of the company he had headed for a number of years came after disclosures in Chicago that a group headed by Joseph Baiata had attempted to pur- chase controlling interest in it for the allegad purpose of carrying out a widespread conspiracy to dispose of | stolen securities at a handsome profit. Baiata, alleged ringleader of the Chicago group. has been heid in the week ago. He had been held first on charges of conspiracy to swindle the Amalgamated Trust and Savings Bank there of $54,000. The whole plot, according to Chicago authorities, came to light when a bank clerk confessed he had aided Baiala and his associates, who as- sertedly included David (Long Count) Barry, swindle the Chicago bank. China is expected to extend finan- cial aid to its cotton mills. A CHEERFUL LITTLE EARFUL FOR XMAS-- Buy for Cash and Pay Less at bbby JEWELRY SHOPS 615-15%* SENW. - 617- 7* S NW.
