self, came to this country with the
announced intention of expressing to
the American people the apprecia-
tion of the Austrian children for its
help.
DR.. Lorenz said at the end of his

all his career had be been affected
as he was by the sight of hundreds
of MANNED, distorted humans clamor-
ing for his aid. And never. he added,
had he seen land so sorely in need
of relief from spinal and other
troubles superinduced by infantile
paralysis. His observations so far,
he declared, led him to believe that
there were "ten or fifteen times as
plany' such sufferers in the United
States as in any other country in the
world
After working like mad today for
more than five hours DR.. Lorenz had
>Seen 1875 cripples-scarcely one tenth

During his five hours of work he
said afterwards, he had advised
enough operations to keep one sur

ing from Monday, December IL, to

The plan is to have every man,
woman and child in Palatka send a
post card to everyone in the world
they know-except in Florida. All
of the cards must go out of the state
Cards will be furnished free by the
post card committee, an initial or
der for 10000 having been placed.
These will be, in the main. printed
cards with information about Pa
latka.
All rules and regulations regard
ing the campaign will be published
in Sunday mornings paper, and will
be repeated from time to time SO
that all can know just how to work
most effectively. 1t is hoped that
there will be such a demand for cards
that the committee will be kept busy
getting them out.
Cash Prizes Offered
Cash prizes will be offered for win
ners in each of three contests. To
the organization of the city sending
out the greatest number of cards
will be given a cash prize of $25.

Hhere a complete record of all cards

ifornia, Washington, Nevada, Mon
tana, Canada, Mexico and every 9TH

imagined how this will impress a

upp in the great northwest. 1t will
make them all hungry for the warm
sunshine of Florida.

(By Assoelatea Presn,

San Francisco, Nov. 25.-Miss
Virginia Rappe, motion picture
actress whose death the state charges
resulted from injuries received at
the hands of Roscoe Arbuckle, was
represented in a statement read at
the Arbuckle manslaughter trial here
today as having stated to DR.. M. E.
Rumwell, San FFrancisco physician,
that she "must have been intoxicated
for she could not remember what had
happened" during the course of a
party in Arbuckle's hotel room here.
DR.. Rumwell testified to having
attended Miss Rape after the Ar
buckle party.
Miss Rappe told him she had been
and "she did not recollect
anything that hapuened," DR.. Rum
well testified. Nhe prosecution
moved that this testimony be
stricken out but the court allowed it
to remain.
DR.. Rumwell said he saw no
bruises or other marks on Miss
Rappe's body.
The physician was not cross ex-
amined. Miss Irene Morgan, trained
nurse of Souht Pasadena, the next
witness said she was employed in
Hollywood by Miss Rappe as house
keeper and trained nurse. She said
she saw Miss Rappe tearing at her
clothes "manE timea' and treated
her at least five times for bladder
trouble.
Her patient used to double up and
cry" presumably as a result of the
trouble, the witness said. After
intoxicating liquor Miss
Rape would tear her clothes off, she
