SCIENCE ACTS TO MAKE HOME SAFE
 FOR MOTHER, CHILDREN AND EVEN PA
By SUE MCNAMARA

WASHINGTON July 25--sTo pre- vent mishaps such as happened to Mrs. Herbert Hoover when she suf- fered strained back from slipping on a waxed floor of the White House, the U. s. Bureau of Stan dards is Investigating the 24,00o accidents which occur yearly in American homes.
 Forty per cent of such, accidents, according to Dr. M G. Lloyd, head of the Safety of the Household department which is making the in- vestigation, are caused by falls. The Bureau of Standards has asked the club women of North Carolina to assist in the prelimi- nary survey by making reports Of all accidents occurring in their homes during the last year
 From the findings of these re- ports the bureau will make recom- mendations for prevention.
 Dr. Lloyd will suggest the at taching of small rugs to the floors to prevent falls. Rails to cellar steps will be another precautionary measure advocated as will hand holds on bath tubs. Many falls are due to slippery tubs.

DEMOCRATS TO
 EIGHT TO WIN
 NEXT CONGRESS
Leaders Plan Raising Funds and Going Out for Ma
 jority of Forty

WASHINGTON, D. O., July 25.- Democratic chieftains are laying plans for an intensive Congression- al campaign to begin late in August by which they hope to obtain enough seats in the National House of Representatives to give them control of the Seventy Second Con- gress. The plans have been formu- lated at secret conferences among party leaders here and in New York
 The plans of the chieftains entail raising funds with which to launch determined drives in at least 72 districts in Border and Northern States now held by the Republicans but all of which the Democrats hope to win.
 None of the money raised will be applied to the payment of the $500,- GOO deficit from the last Presiden- tial campaign, as all of it will be for the Congressional fights.
 The Democrats are confident they can capture 30 normally Democratic districts that went to the Republi- cans in 1928. With these and g ad- ditional seats they would have 218 members, a bare majority. The Democrats believe, however, that they can win about twenty moro seats and have a majority of forty in the House.

 on Two Destroyers

WASHINGTON, D. C., July 25.- Carrying the Senate Committee to investigate the Alaska Railroad and it's prospects, two destroyers- Wasmuth and Perry-will leave Se- attle August 12, for Seward, it was announced here today.
 The party will include Senators R. B. Howell, Nebraska, Chairman, John B. Kendrick, Wyoming, and John Thomas, Idaho. Rear Admiral Robert Edward Coontz, U. s. N, retired, has been recalled to active duty to accompany the committee because of his familiarity with Alaska conditions.
 This schedule reveals an entire change of plans from the one originally adopted. It was first an nounced several days ago that the Committee would sail from Seattle on August 16 on an Alaska Line steamship and visit towns enroute to Seward. Gov. Parks said today he had received no information re- garding the change in plans. It is not known if the party will call here enroute to Seward on the de- stroyers.
