Forest Reserve Founder Cleaned Out Wyoming Outlaws By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, April 27—Col. Abram A. Anderson, 93, artist, sharpshooting Indian fighter and a founder of the United States Forest Reserve system, died today of pneu- monia. Col. Anderson, a native of Pea- pack, N. J., was the husband of the late Mrs. Elizabeth Milbank Ander- son, who in 1905 established the Mil- bank Memorial Fund. It has given more than $11,500,000 to public health work and charities. Best known for his painting on the life of Mary Magdalene, Col. Ander- son painted oil portraits of such notables of his day as Elihu Root and John Wanamaker. As a youth he studied in Paris, where he won five international shooting matches, a gold medal in the Paris salon for his painting “Le Matin Apres le Bal” and found- ed the American Art Association. Col. Anderson bought a large ranch, Palette, in Wyoming, near Billings, Mont., in the 1870s. In 1902 he persuaded President Theo- dore Roosevelt to organize the first forest reserve over the protests of sheep ranchers. He was appointed the first colonel of the ranger patrol in charge of the territory now known as Yellowstone National Park. His most famous exploit was the cleaning out of the notorious Jack- sons Hole, Wyo., hideaway of In- dians, rustlers and ex-convicts. Col. Anderson stormed the hideout with a band of rangers, shooting down most of the fugitives. Fifteen years ago Col. Anderson became interested in aviation and developed the city airport at Rich- mond, Va. Until a week ago he continued to paint in his studio, an exotic pent- house containing stuffed elk heads, suits of armor, a $30,000 organ and a 16th century Venetian chapel.

P Meeting to Review Capital’s Facilities for Child Health Session Sponsored by Social Agencies’ Divisions to Be Held Tomorrow May Day is Child Health Day. In| ‘Washington, as in other cities over the country, all those concerned with the health of children will pause and take stock. What is being done in Washington to safe- | guard the priceless health of the next generation citizens? Such a review of the community's facilities for child health will be| made by health and child welfare divisions of the Council of Social Agencies meeting tomorrow at 12:30 p.m, at the Seventeenth and K street Y. W. C. A. The District Medical Society, Health Depart- ment, and parent-teachers associa- tions are co-operating in planning the meeting. Speakers will be Dr. Ella Oppen- | heimer, director of the Bureau of Maternal and Child Welfare of the Health Department; Dr. John H. Marion ¢H. . Preston.. of{'Eyon, president of the Distriet Med= ical Society; Miss Naomi Deutsch, consultant on Public Health Nurs- ing, United States Public Health Service; Miss Geértrude H. Bowling, director of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society; Mrs. Josephine Pres- cott, director of nursing, Health De- partment; Dr. P. A. McLendon, as- sistant professor of pediatrics. George Washington University Med- ical School, and Mrs. R. M. Graham of the Parent-Teacher Association. During the past few years Wash-' ington has made notable gains in providing treatment for handi- capped children and in reducing in- fant mortality. Social Security funds have made possible the opening of s clinic at Gallinger Hospital for crippled children, which is under direction of the Bureau of Maternal and Child Welfare of the Health Department. Nurses Instruct Mothers. At the clinic are facilities for oc- cupational and physio-therapy, and from the clinic nurses go out daily to instruct mothers in the proper care of children who are well enough to remain at home. Children requir- ing operative care are hospitalized at Gallinger Hospital, with the clinic close at hand for the proper treat- ment as they begin to recover. ‘The sunny room for occupational therapy is filled with looms for the weaving of bright rugs, scarves and table runners, with mechanical toys, woodwork drills—with everything you would expect to find in a well- equipped craft shop. Miss Elizabeth Messick, who has IL- | charge of occupational therapy, ex- plained that the various machines were selected to provide exercise for different muscles and to teach co-ordination. For instance, the muscles. of the forearm are exer- cised by the weaving of rugs and runners, while the legs and foot muscles are exercised by the wood carving machines, The equipment for the room was contributed by the Twentieth Cen- tury Club. During 1938 the crippled chil- dren’s clinic had 333 patients regis- tered who made 2,168 visits to the clinic. Service Provided by Kiwanis. ‘This new clinic makes it possible for more handicapped children to be reached than ever before. A limited service for them has been provided since 1923 by the Kiwanis Club. In that year they began paying the salary of a nurse on the staff of the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society to specialize in the home nursing and follow-up of crippled children. Braces and special shoes were pro- vided where parents could not afford these expensive necessities. The up- keep of shoes and braces, which is also expensive, was met by the club. Since 1938 the Kiwanians have supported a special crippled chil- dren’s clinic at Children’s Hospital, paying the salary of a nurse and other expenses. From the beginning Dr. Custis Lee Hall donated his services for clinic treatment and Onk OF i LARGEST UNDERTAKERS IN THF WORLD operative care. He is now assisted by Dr. O. E. Engh. Miss Pearl Griffith, the nurse in charge of the clinic, said 154 chil- dren were under care at the pres- ent time. Some of these children have been under supervision for years, She told of a 15-year-old girl who | had been under treatment for club | feet since she was two weeks old. Both feet were badly deformed and if treatment had not been started in infancy, the girl probably would never have been able to walk. To- day she needs only special shoes, and no one would notice her de- formity. Complete Nursing Service. | public health nursing service for children, giving health supervision, instruction ‘and nursing in the home. While facilities for crippled chil- dren have been enlarged, the im- portant fundamental job of “keep- ing well children well” has not been neglected. The supervision of the Health Department and the In- structive Visiting Nurse Society be- gins before the child is born. Since 1936 the infant mortality rate for the city as a whole has been reduced from 72 in 1936 to 48 in 1938—three points below the na- tional average. The rate is much higher than 48 in some of the con- gested, poorly housed sections of the city, where the low-income groups live. The sharp reduction in infant deaths was brought about by in- creased facilities for the care of mothers and babies in the Health Department, in addition to the services being rendered by privately supported agencies such as the hos- pitals and the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society. heimer, the Bureau of Maternal and Child Welfare, has increased its ma- ternity clinics from 3 in 1936 to 8 in 1940 and its child health clinics from 11 in 1936 to 14 at the present time.

Mich. 7795-7796 Dr. Warsaw Dies: Stricken Suddenly On Streefcar Here Won Wide Attention By Singing From Empire State Tower Dr. Alfredo Warsaw, 81-year-old grand opera singer, died on his way to Casualty Hospital last night after becoming {ll on a streetcar. Hos- pital doctors attributed his death to a heart attack. The octogenarian, who attracted DR. ALFREDO WARSaW. | national attention by singing from | the tower of the Empire State Build- ing two years ago, was stricken while riding in the 600 block of G street N.W. He was taken from the street car and removed to the hos- | pital in an ambulance. Casualty physicians pronounced him dead on arriv; Dr. Warsaw was struck by a taxi- cab on March 18 at Connecticut | avenue and L street NW. He suf- fered a fractured collar bone and right shoulder and was taken to Emergency Hospital, where he was released on April 6. Dr. Warsaw's accident occurred just a month after his wife's death. She had been his accompanist for | many years and after her death,| friends say, he never sang again.| Until that time, despite his ad-| vanced age he had given frequent recitals. Born in Poland, Dr. Warsaw re- ceived most of his vocal training in Austria and Germany. His concerts have carried him to many places, one of them being the top of tI Washington Monument. The Empire State Building con- cert was to prove his claim that he could drown out the “noises of the city” by singing an operatic aria from the tower of New York's tall- est building. He permitted himself to be swung over the side of the building and held by his feet while he sang 1,050 feet above the street. A resident of Washington for many years, Dr. Warsaw at one time claimed to have found the fountain of youth in a shower bath. He was well known as a singing teacher and operatic tenor.

In May, 1860, a group from Capitol Hill formed the National Club and at the first game between the Nationals and the Potomacs (from the First Ward) the latter won 35 to 15. In 1867 the Nationals made a famous tour, losing only one game, leading Mrs. Bodell to write the “Home Run Polka.” In 1888 after Washington had become a “big leag: ue” town, Connie Mack was the star catcher of the season, Ted Sullivan being manager. Five years after Gabby Street caught the first ball thrown from the Monument, Hysong’s, in top of Washington's 1913, adopted the creed of one standard of service, the highest, to off regardless of financial circumstance.
