Thtmday, HeptemberS, 1938 Our' Washington ??sr ' 1 GIRL IN HOSPITAL 20 MONTHS HAPPY Cheered by Letters From Over the Country AU Washington, September 7--With the vacation season closed, the country and its politicians are now devoting more attention to current problems. Politics is, of course, the daily 'fish here, but events abroad have given affairs a spicy .international flavor. Tocsins of war overseas turn talk to the probable influence on questions of American policy. Actual hostilities could start a boom similar to one which preceded our participation fn the World War. .The government now, as then, would be confronted with a multitude of issues mainly centered around the speculative aspects of "boom days." Conversations with Federal leaders indicate their belief in effectiveness of ex-. , . .. .. . curb - * twenty-three-year-old former Texas Sheriff Bart Deputies' Trappings Amariljo, Texas.--Here in the heart of the Texas Panhandle, the center of the ranch country, Sheriff Bill Adams won't permit his deputies to wear cowboy hats, boots or to display big six-shooters. "There is no need for such trappings," says the sheriff. • RINGWOOD Beaver Falls, Pa.--The "lyingface- downward-girl" is back home again after spending 20 months in Providence hospital--half of them with her face buried in a pillowrecovering from burns suffered when her clothing caught fire. She is attractive Marion Palter- • isting statutory powers as a without resorting to emergency meas- j ures, which characterized the , hectic j scene more than two decades ago. It is argued that the Roosevelt Administration has garnered many imple- j merits of control over industry and] trade during the 'last five years so j that the task of clamping down dur-i ing a fracas abroad is relatively sim-1 pie. There is some doubt as to the] real scope of the Neutrality Act which! was designed to meet situations aris«j ing out of foreign wars. It is notj likely that a European combat this fall would require a special session of Congress unless America was seriously involved. Differences in political families remain to be settled in eighteen states this month. Four states have nominating conventions scheduled while primaries aref booked in other areas. Naturally, the spotlighted areas of the Roosevelt "purge" movement are Maryland and Georgia where Senators Tydings and George are the purgees resisting White House pressure on voters. The copies of campaign speeches received here show candidates are making extravagant promises with little hope or intention of making good. The defeat of Senator McAdoo, who served as Secretary of the Treasury during the Wilson regime, had a disturbing effect on Administration leaders. The votes rolled up by Downey in California on a platform of granting pensions at $30 a week has impressed ethers seeking political office. The issue may plague the next Congress. Critics of the plan foresee Treasury raids and the sevival of the ill-fated Townsend scheme. . It is reported that the Administration has quietly passed the word that a nation-wide strike of railway employees is not wanted. The government is willing to strain its arbitration machinery to prevent paralysis of these vital arteries. The President is expected to postpone another crisis by appointing a fact-ftnding body negotiations between the carriers and the workers is now at an impasse. Organized labor's contention that wages are a first lien on railway revenues inay be modified as a peace move. The report of the A. F. of L. this week showing a bright outlook has been hailed by government agencies dealing with unemployment. Records of labor unions show that employment gains in August were greater than any month this year. Significantly, of L. says that in cases where industries have good earnings prospects, "this is a time for trade unions to study carefully the particular problems confronting the companies employing the"--a hint for demanding higher wages. Producers and distributors of commodities are now adjusting their surveys of potential markets to harmonize with the latest government findings on "consumer incomes in the United States in 1935-1936" just made publilc. It is an exhaustive piece of research which will be followed by an analysis as to how we spent our money during these years. Statisticians, economists and other researchers have appreciatively seized the report because it contains data too costly for private agencies to gather. Some of the conclusions reached by the National Resources Committee in its analysis are interesting because they cover the affairs of all classes'of citizens. For instance, "this summary of the distribution of national income has revealed that almost one third of all families and single individuals in the country had incomes of less than $750 during the year 1935-36." The statement standing alone provokes many questions as to occupations, dependence on relief and comparison with other income groups. The relative income status of families shows that "farm families are conspicuously massed in the lower income levels--52 per cent falling below $1,000. Rural non-farm families and families living •in smallc ities are most numerous in* the income classes between $500 and $1,500." No suburban villages or cities were covered by the sampling inquiries. A break-down of the incomes of single individuals disclosed that "almost 45 per cent of the 10,058,000 individuals received incomes of less than $750 during the year 1935-36. At the otheKend of the income scale, we ftnd &rf«gfe«n one and one-third per cent incomes of $5,000 &nd over/' The importance of the data collected may be visualized in a sentence from the report: "Any attempt on the part of Government or buiness to grapple with basic economic problems must rely heavily on what can be learned of the distribution of income among the various groups of the Nation's consumers." rf • k ' t The Name Elizabeth The name Elizabeth has more legitimate variations than any other in the English language, among them, says a writer in Collier's Weekly, being Bess, Bessy, Beth, Betsy, Betty, Eliza, Elsie, LAbby, Um and Lizzy. Geneva college student,., whose cou rageous fight during her long stay in the hospital attracted naticn.v 're attention and prompted President R6oseve3t to send her a note of encouragement. Not only that, Miss Patterfctr received hundreds of letters from all parts of the nation, and on Christmas a year ago Katharine Hepburn' sent her a handkerchief and a scarf with a "hold-youi'-chih-up"' letter. The Christmas just past was the dark-haired beauty's first holiday at home since she was burned in April, 1936, and put to bed, face downward. This was necessary, because the burns on her back were so severe! she could not stand the pain of lying on it. 1 "I'm so happy and still I want to cry," sobbed Miss Patterson as she sat beneath a Christmas tree trimmed especially for her by her widowed mother and several sisters. It was not until several months ago that the girl could sit in a wheelchair. Then she took a few faltering steps and, as her strength returned, she finally was able to walk unaided. The accident that sent Miss Patterson to the n&spital occurred while she was dressing four-year-old Lois Fairley, aughter of Mr. and Mrs. Fenton Fairley, for whom she was working temporarily. "I felt the flames and pushed Lois away," she said in recalling the incident. "I only remember screaming." She hopes soon to return to college and finish her education so she can become a teacher. Sylvia's Antics During Church Prove Upsetting New York.--Sylvia, a pet squirrel, attended church and then played a game of tag with eight pdlicemen, an anti-cruelty society man, and a minister in the Washington Heights Methodist Episcopal church. The service was being conducted when the congregation saw Sylvia emerging through a hole in the ceiling over the central chandelier. Members tried to coax her down, but Sylvia would not jump the twenty feet and she couldn't climb the metal chandelier. Finally some one called the S. P. C. A. man, and then a police emergency squad arrived. Sylvia was reached with a ladder. Then she darted away, ran under pews and along walls with dozens in pursuit. Finally she was caught in a net and the S. P. C. A. man took her away. Mother Attending School as an 11-Year-Old Pupil > London.--An amazing hoax was revealed when a twenty-three-yearold woman, married and a mother, was discovered to be attending a school in Woolwich as an elevenyear- old pupil. The discovery was made when the headmistress of the school decided to move her to a higher class. The work would have been harder, so she did not go to school. That brought the school attendance officer to her home. Her husband, Edward Cohen, twenty^jeight-year-old radio salesman, explaining the impersonation, said his wife had gone to school in a short gymnasium tunic and skirt with her dolls and played with her ten-year-old schoolmates. Girl Swallows Teaspoon; Recovered by Surgeons Chicago.--For the first time in local medical history surgeons were confronted with a girl who had swallowed a six-inch teaspoon.

Blood of Different Colors Not all Mood is red. Most of the Insects, nature's largest class of animals, which comprises at least 10,000,000 species, have either greenish or yellowish blood. In some it isv even colorless, says Collier's Weekly. MOST ^people like to have their pictures taken. In fact, they like it so well that when they see the camera they pat on a special "picture expression." Attd as a rule this special "picture face" isn't what we ^rant at all. There's a way to keep your subjects from seeming camera-conscious. Briefly, it is--"Catch them When they aren't looking." Don't let them know their picture is being taken. Pictures so taken are known as "off-guard" snapshots. Such snaps attract attention because they picture the subject in a natural, characteristic pose and get away from the usual look-at-the-camera-andsmlle type of picture with which we are all too familiar. An "off-guard" picture can tell a re^l story while the other type tends to 4>e just a record picture. - Howto take them? It's easy. Just ttrn to handle your camera nntruaively. Walt until your subject is paying no attention to you. Then casually snap his picture. It's all a matter of nsing your camera nonchalantly and efficiently. The better;, you can do that, the more easily you can capture snapshots that are truly ' "off-guard." If you use a focusing camera, with fast lens, try to anticipate picture opportunities, and set the camera in advance for distance and proper exposure. Then when the snapshot^ chance develops, all you need do is shoot. For example, to take the picture ' above, the camera was set in advance for six feet. Lens and shutter were set for an exposure of 1/50 seo ond at f.ll--less than normal, be*; cause the bright, sunny beach was reflecting plenty of light. On a grassy lawn, which reflects littlS light, exposure would have been 1/50 at f.8. With his camera pre-set, alt the picture taker had to do was wait for the melon to be cut, and catch his companion's delighted expresi sion. It was just a matter of lifting; the camera and snapping the shut* ter. If you haven't tried taking "off* guard" shots, try it.
