jecting into the abdominal wall
hypodermically some blood taken
from a fatal case of pellagra in a
woman.
"Of course. she did not become i'll
of the disease since pellagra is now
known not to be caused in that way,
but the spirit which she showed was
commendable. since at the time the
transmissibility of pellagra was
thoroughly believed in by number
of eminent authorities. Needless to
say, DR.. Goldberger was also a sub
ject of this experiment"
The committee reported to the
House that the pension is needed by
Mrs. Goldberger because she has
three dependent children and no visi-
ble means of income. A physician s
affidavit before the committee de-
clares that she is unable to perform
any labor.
The Washington times., 1929-02-08

DR., GoIdberger is accredited with
having discovered the cause and
cure of pellagra. one of the world s
most dreaded diseases. Mrs. Gold
berger assisted him in his scientific
work and even risked her life by
having the germs injected into her
body.
Lauded BY DIR. Cumming
Mrs. Goldberger's part in the
scientific work of her late husband
is told by DR.. H. S. Cumming,
Surgeon General. in a report to the
Pensions Committee.
I'm reply to your inquiry as to
whether Mrs Joseph Goldberger par
ticipated in the experiment made
by her husband in the attempt to
discover whether pellagra could be
transmitted from person to person, !"
DIR. Cumming reported, Il beg to
submit the following statement:
"At the time when volunteers
were called for this experiment,
and a number of Doctor Goldberger' )
brother officers at once offered TO
receive various substances taken
from pellagrous patients into their
own bodies as test for the trans
instability of the disease, Mrs. Gold
berger begged the privilege of rep
resenting her sex as one of the
volunteers.

To AID
DISABLED
O.K'D

A House bill to extend to
residents of the District of
Columbia the benefits of the
Federal vocational rehabilita-
tional act was favorably re-
ported to the Senate today by
its committee on education
and labor.
The bill, which passed the House
in the last session, authorizes an
appropriation by the Federal Gov
ernment of $4,000 annually to be
matched by equal appropriations
from District funds for the rehabil-
itation OF any residents OF the Dis
trict disabled to such an extent
that they are unable to earn
living.
Laboratory Here
"It appears to the committee"
the report declared, that this
rehabilitation work il set up and
carried on in the District of Co
lumbia, would provide a national
laboratory for research in discover.
ing ways of rehabilitating disabled
persons, and thus enable the states
TO have the benefits of these studies
and Investigations.
ut was shown at the hearing
that the number OF deaths from
accident throughout the country
averaged one every six minutes. It
was also shown that there are
112, 600 permanently disabled from
industrial accidents and public
accidents combined in one year.
Called Economy
"It has been shown quite con-
cIusively that a person injured
in industry can be rehabilitated
for less money than it would cost
to maintain him as a public charge.
The committee calls attention to
the fact that injured United States
employees who are granted com.
pensa ton receive two-thirds OF their
salary with a maximum limitation
on the salary Of S175 a month, thus
providing the sum of $ll6.66 a
month for the maximum compen.
sation.
This sum. itself il paid for two
months. would pay the average
cost of rehabiiitating these dis.
.abled people. and therefore the
Congress might expect II at this
program would not only be of
humanitarian character, but also
a direct economy in the use of
Federal funds"

8 I HE YES
BELIEVED
TOHAVE
GONE

Despite the fact that de-
tailed descriptions have been
furnished of the three per-
sons who may have partici-
pated in the theft of $4,000
in Liberty Bonds from the
Riggs National Bank, yester-
day, police are today still
cropping in the dark and no
arrests have been amade.
The theory advanced by local
detectives is that the persons who
took the bonds are out-of-town
crooks who carefully planned the
theft yesterday.
A check-up of the rogues gallery
it is understood gave little help to
police who are investigating the
case.
About closing time last night the
telephone on the. desk of Miss Anse
BoaIo q stenographer, rang. She
answered the phone and strange
voice asked that Mr., johnson" be
called. She went to nearby door

She notified bank offices at once
and the doors were locked and a

revealed that two men and a woman
had entered the building just as the
doors were closing for the day and
had left less than q minute later.
In that time. police think, they had
pulled the robbery.
Bank officials. usually SO suave
and quick witted, were dumbfounded
when they discovered that they had
been taken for $4,000. One
looked out of the window at the mas
sive walls of the Treasury and ap-
leared to be speechless with wonder.
They had never thought that their
institution could be worked" in
such a manner.

JOINTS
OUT

"They wouldn't even stay
closed a half hour after we
raided them. This is the only
way I know of putting them
out of business. p"
Thus Capt. Fred Cornwall, of the
Fourth precinct, explained why he
has adopted the police icket' sys.
tenn to break up bootlegging and
gambling in his precinct. Since he
started the practice three weeks ago
two suspicious places have gone out
of business and two more are dark.
Cornwall asserted.
Shows Method
The Cornwallian remedy for boot
Logging and other evils follows:
A policeman is stationed on the
street outside of what appears to
an innocent business establishment,
but which the captain knows deep
down in his heart is violating the
law. The policeman stands and
looks grim.
When a customer arrives the po-
liceman follows him inside the
establishment, stands near the door
and looks much grimmer. The Gus
toner becomes nervous under the
grim stare. The proprietor becomes
nervous, too. The customer buys
a box of safety matches or what
ever his eyes fall upon and leaves.
The policeman again takes up his
position outside the establishment
and looks grim.
Captain Cornwall said he will
adopt the picket system all over
his precinct. but can concentrate
on only a few places at one time
because he is short of men.

appeal for support OF the Capper-
Zihlman bill, which the joint commit
tee. Of which Mrs. william T. Banner
man is president, has sent to all civic
bodies in the city.
Past Refusals Recalled.
Admiral Rodgers recalled that the
Dupont Circle Citizens Association IN
the past has refused approval OF any
form of franchise in the District, and
he pointed out that the Capper -Zihl-
man bill would provide popular elec-
ton. which might prove "an entering
wedge" for other elections here.
Mai. Clayton E. Emig suggested that
the association reaffirm its former ac-
ton concerning the school board, pro-
posing the appointment Of the board
by the District Commissioners.
Admiral Joseph Strauss asked IL any
thing were wrong with the present sys-
tenn of appointment of the school hoard
members by the District Supreme Court
Judges, 1t was explained by the chair
man that the members of the bench
disliked the task. After brief discus
sions. during which Admiral Strauss
paid tribute TO the abilities and charac-
ters of the present members of the
Board of Education, 1t was agreed that
a communication would be sent to

opinion that I'VE cannot bring our

out, however, that space Limitations
