Barnum was astonished, on. returning to the tiny flat above his tittle grocery store, to find his wife, Nancy, grimly packing a trunk, with the assistance of Ellen, his pretty young niece. It was a Spring day In 1835 in New York, and Barnum had been feeling quite content with the world. "Watcha doin'?" inquired Barnum. as Nancy folded clothes and Ellen strewed moth balls over them as her aunt placed them In careful layers la the trunk. > Nancy glanced up from her work. "Phineas, did you get those tickets?" Phineas Barnum squirmed. His huge, homely face contrived a look of innocence. But, like so many grood New -BngiRnd wives, Nancy saw right through her husband She advanced on him like a bantam hen challenging a turkey a lock that boded no good on her stern, thin little face. "Phl&e&a, where aSre those tick- " etsf Barnum gave ground before her advance. "Hold you horses. Nancy." , be pleaded.

Nanfty was upon him in a flash reaching for his pockets. At that instant there oame a Jangling of the bell from the street door of. the store below. Nancy heeitated at the aound. It gave Barnura time, to scramble to his feet. > "Must be & customer." he gala hastily "I'll see who it 1»." Barnum rushed down the stairs to find a bulky, fat-faced stranger waiting in the utore >' "J P Skiff's my name," the Visitor began "I'm a promoter! I' gather ideas--you gather freaks." "Well, what of It?" Phineas instinctively disliked this oily look* ing, smooth-talking man.

The force of the blow was so sudden that Nancy almost collapsed It was more than she could bear Nancy had endured with Phineas when he carried her away from her father's farm in Connecticut to seek his fortune in New York City She had submitted to his turning his lrttle grocery store Into a storehouse of natural curiosities Heaven knew tnat she detested the two-headed frogs and sea-horses which turned out to be fakes aa soon as be had paid his money for them To her pious God-fearing mind the collection of these things was sinful But that man Walsh her husband had taken up with' The relationship was downright evil' Mr. B Walsh as Phineas always called him. was a drunkard To Nancy's mind there was nothing more heinous To escape him Nancy had Insisted on taking Phineas back to her father's farm She had given Barnum two hundred and fifty dollars of her father's money to pay his debts and buy their train tickets. And Phineas had used that salvation money to cement his union with evlH Nancy recovered sufficiently to . realise that there was still fifty dollars of her father's money to be acoetmted for That, at least, would take Ellen and herself back to Connecticut. As for Phineas--she was through. Definitely through. •^Oite me the rest of that money, them. But he had Nancy should overhear "Say that again." he requested softly "The genywine nurse of who?" "George Washington! Her name is Josie Heath and she's one hundred and sixty years of age'" "Where is she " was Barnum's hoarse demand "Right outside your door" Skiff opened the street door and led in a fat wrinkled old negro mammy who stood there smoking a pipe. There was a short discussion between Barnum and Skiff then the voice of Phineas was raised in loud, gloating triumph "Nancy come down here--quick! Something colossal has happened." As Nancy came rushing down In wonderment she was astonished to And the old black mammy seated in chair her feet on the rail of the stove, puffing her pipe Barnum struck a pose as he burst into glib speech "Step right up. ladies and gentlemen See Josie Heath One hundred and ninety-six years old The real and genuwine nurse of George Washington, the proud father of his country " "What's the meaning of all thisT" Nancy demanded.

END OF CONGRESS FIRST MONTH SEES SOME IMPORTANT MEASURES ENACTED VWork. Relief and Security Measures Still Pending -- Senate Defeats World Court v ^ '• v,'.p (By Florence Slown Hyde) , <r TUBERCULOSIS ASSN. TO LAUNCH CAStPXtGN Washington, February 2~Ending its first month today, the 74th Congress records action only a few of the many important measures looking on its horizon. With Senate actioit still pending on the |4,880,000,000. work relief bill and the social security legislation not yet reported out of committee rooms, the two most important matters settled thus far are the defeat of world court adherence by the" Senate and passage by both houses of, a measure extending the life of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation for two years and libcralising somewhat the basis onjyhich loans may be granted to private Indus* try. , VThe Senate action on the world court was by no means along party lines. Nine Republicans voted for adherence and 14 against it. Senator Lewis of Illinois voted against adherence and Senator- Dietrich voted for it. Both are Democrats. The measure lost by seven votes, a two-thirds majority being required to ratify a treaty. Democrats who voted against adherence did so in the face of a special message from the President asking for a favorable vote. This show of independence is being viewed in some quarters as vindicating that the administration may not be able to hold the Senate in the iron grip which seems to prevail on the Democratic side of the House. Another test of administration power in the Senate will take place when the work relief measure, already passed by the House with only changes from the administration draft, comes up for action, probably before thia news story appears in print. The Senate appropriations committee has held executive hearings daily on the bill this week. Senator Glass who often disagrees with the administration is chairman of this committee, which may or may not augur well for the amendments which the Republicans and several insurgent Democrats have announced they will seek. The R. F. C. measure passed last week by the Senate Was rushed through the House this week, to a joint conference and back again to each body for final action before Feb. 1, the date oil which the" R. F. C. otherwise would. have expired. The new measure provides to loans to industry when "such loans shall be so secured as reasonably to assure repayment of the loans", whereas previous legislation stipulated that loans must be "adequately secured". This requirement, officials of the R. F. C. said, had prevented the granting of many loans, while the new phraseology would make the security requirements less strict. It was stated during the discussion of the bill in the House that although $300,000,000. had been allotted by act of the last Congress for loans to industry, only $7,000,000. actually had been loaned and an additional $35,000,000. allocated. During the consideration of' the R. F. C. measure in the House, Representative Hamilton Fish, Republican of New York, reminded his Democratic colleagues' that the Reconstruction Finance Corporation Was established on recommendation of President Hoover and had proved of immeasurable benefit at that time and since in meeting the financial problems of the country. He also stated that he and other Republican members had sought unsuccessfully to get consideration in the last Congress for bills authorizing the R. F. C. to loan to private industry on a more liberal basis, and that he would like to see . hot $300,000,000. but a billion dollars loaned iirtmediately to private industry to help private industry get on its feet and employ American wage earners. In this connection it is interesting to note that Congressman John T. Buck. bee of the 12th district introduced loan measures in both the present and last Congress, and that Mr. Buckbee and Congressman Reed of»the 11th district joined in presenting an amendment to the work relief bill which would have earmarked two billion dollars for loans to industry. Wliile as stated in last week's bulletin, the amendment was over-ruled on the ground that it was not germane to the section under consideration, Congressman Reed was granted leave to have printed in the Congressional Record an extension of his remarks in support of such a provision. In this published statem'ent Mr. Reed pointed out that an appropriation of $2,000,000,000. as a revolving fund to provide loans to small industry would immediately increase the purchasing power of each and every community and reduce the public expenditures. Continuing Mr. Reed said part: "The real productive work of America is our factories. Today there are hundreds of factories that have been forced to close because they could not get the needed funds for working capital. At the present time there is a demand for goods of all kinds over the country, but in order to create markets for these goods, the purchasing power of the people must be increased. The outstanding factor in getting out of this depression is to put men and women back to work where -the results of their labor will _ create wealth, whiph means prosper- gfegate annual appropriatoin of a I " t 1 ' " " l i f -- • g - " » V1 Thursday, February 14,1935 -He tWen^feubmitted statistics assembled in a survey by a firm of industrial engineers for Lester J. Norm of St. Charles, 111. and showing how a I loan to one small factory employing 240 persons would enable it to reopen with the result that the relief burden in that community would be reduced by $5,040 per month while the | purchasing power would be increased by $14,040. per month. These statistics shewed, he said, how loans on a wide scale to industry would bring business recovery and reemployment. \Iii addition to liberalizing the basis of security and adding to the types of concerns that are eligible for loans, there is a separate section which authorizes the making of loans upon "sufficient security" to corporations, individuals and partnerships engaged in the mining, milling or smelting of ores, and lists specially those engaged in the development of ledges or veins or placer deposits containing tin, gold, silver or gold and silver. Illinois Republicans supported an amendment which sought to include coal, sand, gravel and stone development in the list of industriee that might obtain loans, but the amendment was "reject* e4. • , ' ' •; Why the administration would not permit or consider the amendments offered to Section 14, whereby coal, ; sand and gravel and other ore be included in the bill together with that of gold and silver,. seems unanswerable according to Congressman L. C. Arends of the Seventeenth Illinois district. "Why" said Mr. Arends, given a preference over sand and stone development when the limit that can be loaned in each instance is $10,000.? Surely there are small enterprises engaged in stone quarrying and in the production of sand and gravel who are in need of financial assistance from the government. It does not seem fair for such industries to be excluded from relief to such a speculative enterprise as that of mining gold." - Hearings on the various social security and old age pension measures have been held daily for nearly two weeks by the House Ways and Means Committee and the Senate Finance Committee. While sponsors of the various bills other than the administration bill have had an opportunity to express their views at these hearings, there seems little doubt that the only measure that will get out of the committees is the administrate . measure, which sets a limit of $30. a month for old age pensions. However, several members of both House and Senate have announced that they would fight for a larger amount and Republican leaders have stated that the minority will urge separation erf the administration measure into four separate bills, thus giving members a chance to weigh each appropriation and the plan for its expenditure. The administration measure includes provisions for old age pensions, unemployment insurance, aid to dependent and crippled children, and for other welfare enterprises requiring an agity." round $200,000,000. Bryan M. (Bitsy) Crant, Jr., of At lanta, holds the Col. Henry L. Doherty trophy which he won by defeating Berkeley Hell of New York in the final round of the third annual Miami Biltmore championship at Miami, Fla. The mighty atom of the courts won 6-4, 6-2, (5-3. Grant was runner up to George M. Lott, Jr. of Chicago last year, in this same tournament. The fact that tuberculosis may attack any part of the body as well as the lungs will be stressed in the state-wide educational campaign to be launched in April by the Illinois Tuberculosis association, the executive committee of the organization has announced. "Because there is much more pulmonary tuberculosis than any other type, many persons believe that the lungs alone are susceptible to the disease," the committee pointed out. "On the contrary, almost any organ may become a victim of tubercle bacilli." "In jyounlgf peopk especially, the bones and joints may suffer. This may result in crippling such as hunchback, a .stiff knee, hip or elbow. Although the bone and joint type of the disease is far less common than it was a quarter of a century ago, it is still the cause of many deformities in children and should be guarded against by parents," the committee said. "Tuberculosis of the glands of the neck, once a common ailment, is becoming rarer." One of the prim.vpai reasons for the reduction of these <fextra-pulmon> ary' types of tuberculosis is the reduction of tuberculosis in Seattle, made possible through tuberculin testing of dairy herds. Eliminating the possibility of infection through the pasteurization of milk likewise ,has resulted in less tuberculosis. Notwithstanding, children throughout the state are still drinking milk from tuberculous cattle," the committee stated. Tuberculosis sometimes attacks the intestines of a person who has the disease in the lungs, probably because the germs are swallowed and lodge in the tract. Skin tuberculosis is rather uncommon in the United States. The kidneys and bladder, the eyes, the ears and other organs all may become diseased. Tuberculosis of the vocal chords is usually part of a lung tuberculosis. It causes hoarseness and sometimes loss of voice. In addition to warning against all types of the disease, the committee intends to point out in _ the educational campaign that whatever organ is attacked the genreal treatment is rest for the whole body in addition to whatever special measures the physician may take for treatment of the diseased part.
