NAVY YARD WILL
LAY OFF 100
MRS. HOOVER

The summer lay-offs and dis
charges at the Washington Navy
Yard will not exceed 100 workers,
officials said today.
Changes in the Navy's con-
struction program already have
resulted in the discharge of Alb
Navy Yard employees, chiefly of
the unskilled type.
Labor representatives have sue
ceeded, however, in persuading
the Navy Department that the
wholesale cuts in the local yard
which were at first contemplated
could be averted, and declare
that for that reason conditions
are much better than they were
two months ago.
A group of 28 workers, includ-
ing "a boilermakers, two buffers
and two sheet metal workers
were laid off yesterday, officials
announced today. These consti-
tute virtually the last of the
skilled craftsmen who will be
cut off the payrolls of the Wash
ington Navy Yard during the
summer, although it may be
necessary to discharge approx
mately 100 unskilled workers

CARBOL|C ACID
BASE Of JAKE

Federal physicians and chem
lists have discovered, after months
of research, what they believe was
the cause of thousands of cases
Of paralysis reported last spring
from drinking Jamaica ginger, the
U. S. Public Health Service re.
vealed yesterday.
No cure has been found for the
) paralysis, which is expected in
most cases to run its course and
disappear.
Poisonous chemical was ex-
planned as a higher derivative
Of carbolic acid, tricresol and
phoSphoric acid.
Cooperating with the Tennes-
see Health Department and DR..
T. J. Leblanc, of the Cincinnati
General Hospital. experts of the
Health Service and the Prohibi
tion Service found that in almost
every case the paralysis was
caused by ginger extract pur.
chased at retail stores rather than
pharmacies.
This extract, it was stated was
distributed widely in Ohio, Ten
nessee and other Southern and
Southwestern States, being sold
under labels of eight different
firms at Cincinnati and four at
johnson City, Tenn.
Considerable mystery surround
ed the disease when it first au-
peared last February and March.
Little or nothing was known of
its. symptoms or cure and phv-
sicians experienced great difficult.
ty in treating afflicted patients
Further mystery was added to
the work OF government chemists
when dogs. monkeys and rabbits
on which experiment were con.
Quoted failed to react like humans.
Only one monkey out of two
score or more given the drink
suffered paralysis. This animal
soon recovered. however, and
future doses failed to affect it.
After many further unsuccessful
tries, all alcohol and water was
removed from the extract, lead
ingto the discovery Of the poison.

SENTRY SDEATH
PROBE OPENED

Upon the decision Of the in
vestigating board appointed at
Fort George G. Meade to inquire
into the finding Of the skeleton
Of a man in a thicket near the
post Tuesday, rests the course
which will be followed by Fort
Meade authorities.
If the man, who is thought to
be Private William F. Calder.
seems to the board to be a sui
eide. nothing further will be
done. If, however, it is decided
that he was murdered, the case
will probably be turned over to
the civil authorities.
Calder has been missing since
last January and is listed as a
deserter. Near the body, which
was found in a clump of under
brush about $50 feet from the
spot where Calder was supposed
to be on guard duty, were the
remains Of a tiny fire.
It is believed that he built 1t
and destroyed all the marks of
Identification which he wore.

trust, / found out that there
was a blanket mortgage on my
property and other property in

Of this before. / stopped pay
mentS until the thing could be

Company. The Saul people of.
fered to let me buy the house

said, he learned of the existence
Of a third mortgage on his house
held by the Saul company, his
share of the blanket mortgage. be-
ing approximately $500, although
he understood altogether the
Saul company held q $4,000
mortgage on this particular de-
velopment in his neighborhood.
Hughes said:
when / made my first pay
ment to the Shapiro company,
they said they wanted to hold
the certificate of title for . few
days. I did not get it for nearly
two years, and then / had to
call for it. / have placed the
entire matter in the hands Of
my attorney and 1Otified the
Saul Company that / never
knew Of the existence Of q
third or blanket mortgage on
my house, and 1 would not pay
