EXPLODING GAS
BURNS VET

Severely burned when his clothes
burst into flames. James Walton.
42-year-old World War veteran, is
making a game fight for his life to-
day in Georgetown University Hos
pital.
Walton was burning trash in the
rear of his home in the First block
of Foxhall Rd. N. w. He threw a
can of gasoline into the debris to
make it burn faster. The gas ex-
ploded, flames leaping to Walton's
clothing.
Called Wife
Realizing that he was in pre-
carious situation, Walton fell to the
ground and rolled over in an effort
to extinguish the flames. Mean
while he shouted to his wife to
bring him a blanket. 81,
Mrs. Walton was so excited that
she was unable to comprehend VIVA:
her husband wanted. However, his
nephew, George Johnson, ran to his
home next door and obtained d
blanket. He wrapped Walton in
the blanket and succeeded in put
.ting out the flames.
Life Saved
Physicians said that Walton had
probably saved himself from death
by burrowing his face In the ground
thus avoiding inhalation of the
smoke and flames.
Removed to the hospital Walton
was treated for burns on his legs
back, neck and arms.
Walton is the operator of truck.

SUCCEEDS
WITH VARIED
CLASSES

Faithful seekers after the
slim figures which have
brought the stars Of stage and
screen fame and fortune today
go into the eleventh day of
The Washington Times-Holly-
wood 18-day diet.
The diet, which Is being pre-
sented to it's readers by The Times,
should be- even more effective than
that which won the universal ac-
claim OF the movie colony at Holly.
wood, for 1t has been especially re-
vised by Alfred w. McCann, inter-
nationally famous tdietician.
The diet as now constructed is
designed particularly for those in
the ordinary walks of live. without
regard to the limitations which
necessarily must be placed upon
those enga ged In the motion picture
industry.
Many Gratified
The Times has received numerous
letters and telephone calls from fol-
lowers of the diet which indicate
that as a reducing measure the
diet is complete success. 1t is
desired by the Diet Editor that all
those following the menus laid
down In the diet write letters tell
ing of the results obtained. These
letters will not be published II the
writer expresses desire that they
be withheld.
Adherents of the diet menus,
however, have more or less COM
munity of feeling, and 1t is ex-
pected that those who have bene-
fitted by The Times menus will tell
of the results in order that those
needing the same treatment may be
convinced Of its efficacy.
Those following the 6iet as laid
down in The Times should remem-
ber that when an item appears in
the menu it means that a normal
portion of that food should be taken.
There should be no stinting In the
portions, nor should there be any
elaboration.
For Healthy People
Likewise 1t should be remembered
by all those who are considering
utilizing the diet that they should
not follow it if they are suffering
from any ailment, unless their per-
sonal physician advises such
course.
A diet, according to experts. can
work harm as well as good IL it is
followed while the dieter is not in
the proper condition. Expert dieti-
clans, however. have found that the
diet as printed in The Times will
reduce flesh, without harmful re-
suits. for the normal person.

Gre v PATROLS
POTOMAC

The unselfish efforts OF a little
band OF expert swimmers to cut
down the annual toll OF deaths in
the waters OF the Upper Potomac
are being furthered by the District
of Columbia Chapter of the Ameri-
can Red Cross.
Eleven emergency first aid sta
tions have been established by the
Red Cross at strategic points along
the river. between the Washington
Channel and Chain Bridge.
Every Saturday. Sunday and holi-
day a trim white canoe manned by
crew of volunteer life-savers pa
trolls the upper stretches of the
river between the first aid stations.
Sea Sled Held Ready
speedy, powerful sea sled rides
the waters of the harbor near the
dock of the fire boat while its
young crew waits for word to rush
to any part of the river with life
saving equipment.
The volunteer river patrol was
originated by Commodore w. E..
Longfellow, assistant national di.
rector of the first-aid division of the
National Red Cross. From the
ranks OF more than 200 swim
n1ers who have graduated from the
life-sa wing course of the American
Red Cross, Longfellow draws his re.
cruits.
First-aid kits and life preservers
have been placed at the emergency
stations along the river.
Works With Campers
The river patrol works in close
cooperation with the swimmers ard
campers, many of whom wear the
life-saving insignia of the Red Cross
on their bathing suits.
No patrol, however. can ever
make the river safe for swimming
or lessen the need in Washington
for swimming pools, Longfellow de-
clared. The river is too long and
there are too many widely separated
and treacherous places along its
course to make patrol really effec-
tive. Then. too. he said, health ex-
perts have decided that the river
water is unfit for swimming.
Locations of Stations
The Red Cross Emergency Sta
tions are established at the follow
ing locations:
Capitol Yacht Club, aboard the
Fire Boat at the Seventh Street
Wharf, the Tidal Basin Boat House.
Corinthian Yacht Club. Potomac
Boat Club, Dempsey's Boat House,
Great F'lass Canoe Club, Anchor
Inn Float, Casey Camp, Rock Pont
on the Virginia Shore, Regan's Boat
House at the head of the harbor
and in the office of the market
master of the Municipal Fish
Market.

LIVE

Dorothy Ready, beautiful
17.year-old blonde of the 1900
block of Newton st. N. W.,
swallowed a quantity of poison
at Fourteenth Street and Park
Road Northwest last night be-
cause she thought her parents
were "too strict. "
Today she is in Emergency Hos.

condition to be serious. ~

IL again il l had a chance" the
young girl told Headquarters de-
tectives Charles Mansfield and Rob
ert Sanders of the narcotic squad.
A few minutes later, however, her
eyes filled with tears and she told
the detectives that she regretted
taking the poison and wanted to
live.
Resented Scolding
She decided to end her life, Miss
Ready said, after her mother and
aunt scolded her and tod her not
to go out with her girl friend any
more.
Leaving her home, she went to a
drugstore at Fourteenth Street and
Park Road and bought 10 cents
worth of powerful poison and a
bottle of a soft drink.
Then for two hours. she said, she
walked around the streets trying to
get courage to end her life. Finally.
shortly after midnight, she mixed
the poison with the soft drink and
drank it. She tore the label from
the empty poison container. threw
1t away, walked a few steps and
collapsed.
Mother Not Told
Her mother has not been told of
her act. yet. She is suffering from
heart trouble, and members of her
family fear the shock of her daugh-
ter's deed might prove fatal.
At first the girl refused to talk
to the detectives. Finally. she ad-
nitted that she had quarreled with
her parents because thew were too
strict.
She went to her girl friend )
house last night and when she re-
turned her mother and aunt began
to scold her. she said. Knowing

Ready said.

"Sirs," whispered the Duchess, when all were seated. "Oh, sire, if the dead are truly alive, and may rise to alright the guilty, avenge wrongs and vindicate the innocent, I pray we may thus see, hear and know the truth at last"
 And now fell a silence that, as moment after moment dragged by, seemed to grow the more irksome, more painfully acute.
 The glimmering dusk beyond the open easements deepened to night, windless dark wherein stars be- gan to wink hush, still ness, an all-pervading silence where in the straining senses began to distinguish a thousand vaguely in definable sounds blent and resolv- ing into a heavy, ceaseless throb that was the very pulse of life itself.

 A fresh start has been made by the two governments in seeking a solution to the problem of naval disarmament which defied solution at the Geneva conference. and th groundwork laid for another con- ference of the powers that parti,i- pated in the 1922 Washington c,c- ference.
