o B MOTHER IS VISITOR - T0 BURNED GIRL -Do'rothy Fenwick> Injured When Gasoline Parent Threw Caught Fire. *Na trace of resentment marked the meeting in Gallinger Hospital yester- day.of Mrs. Matty Martha Bray and her daughter, Miss Dorothy Fenwick, .20, who was. critically burned when Mrs. Bray threw a can of gasoline at her husband.and the fluid spattered over the girl as she stood.in front of » stove, cooking the family breakfast. .. “I'm glad to see you, Mother,” Miss Fenwick smiled through the bandages swathing her face. “How-are you, d how are things at home?” -~ The 43-year-old mother said things were going ‘nicely and presented Her daughter with some ice cream she had brought. The girl cheerfully accepted the gift, although eating obviously gave her pain. Mrs. Bray earlier yesterday had obtained a reduction of her bond in Police Court from $5,000 to $1,500 because, she explained, she wished to visit her daughter's bedside. She was joined in this request by her husband Samuel, 60. Miss Fenwick was frying bacon in the family’'s home at 429 K street when her mother threw a two-gallon can of gasoline during a quarrel with her step-father. Flames enveloped the girl's face, hair and shoulders, and she ran screaming into the hallway. The flames were extinguished by a roomer. In reducing the bond Judge Walter J. Casey continued the case until No- vember 5, pending the outcome of the girl's condition. Physicians said the girl was seriously injured, but prob- ably will recover. They cannot say as yet how badly her éyes are injured. Blight-Proof Trees Produce Chestnuts In Rappahannock: U. S. to Be Given First Crop in 15 Years for Tests. Bpecial Dispatch to The Star.

Since his death, which occurred shortly after setting out the trees, his widow, Mrs. Browning, with the assistance of the United States Department of Agriculture, has cared for them.

They were pruned for the first time two years ago and were much improved by the operation. THE TABLE— Visité Daughter THE EVENING “STAR, . WASHINGTON, D. .C, FRIDAY; .OCTOBER 23, 1936.

SPORTS MINISTER URGED Men well known in the British sport- ing world are urging that s cabiuet position be created for & “minister of sports.” They contend that hthletics should be placed upon some sort of state-supervised basis. - Much opposition to the plan has de- veloped among those who are proud of the traditional boast that Britons play games for the games’ sake while other people make a business of it. The champions of the idea point to the out- standing record made at the recent Olympic Games by Germany, where the Hitler government is encouraging and directing athletics. ‘They also declare ruefully that if some form of control is not applied soon the British record at the next Olympiad is apt to be no higher than it was in Berlin, TURES 08 ALL ON{ PRICE _HALFBACK A-S-BECK MEN'S SHOE DEPT. 1315 F STREET ROMAN MILLS FOUND Ruins Discovered in England Wool Industry Center.

Evidently it was a flourishing sheep and farming district in those ancient times. ‘There is evidence that a thousand years before Yorkshire’s mills began to turn out some of the best woolen cloth in the world the Romans were manufacturing cloth in the district and perhaps sending it to Rome to be made into togas. ‘The recent discovery follows & num- ber of interesting finds at Rudston that began to be made more than & year ago.
