 Cleveland, May -s.--A smile ]. and shadow.
 The smile is still on the face of Patrolnnan Ernest Staab, hero of the Cleveland Clinic disaster, who two years aeo-on May Is. 1929 carried out 21 persons while poisonous vel low nitrogen gas was snuffing out the 4 lives of 126 persons trapped within the building by fire and explosion.
 The shadow falls athwart the fu- ture of the courageous officer. IL may be the shadow of creeping death. For even now he suffers sudden attacks which topple him to humn1ing with shooting pains. It is the after effects of the gas.
 Hero of many heroes at the disas ter, ke fights the good fight day after day, forgotten by g nation which applauded an unknown po- liceman's bravery in 1929. almost forgotten in his own city except for occasional littel newspaper stories: "Patrolman Staab col lapses again. z
 Coughing wracks his sturdy body as it did in those hours of suspense after he collapsed at the fire. They said he could not live then. But he did. They said he would never re- cover completely. That may be true.
 He faces the days to come with optimism, unafraid. In his spare time he works in his garden. or around the yard. 7.
 Staab believes he will get well s l1u nrfa vva u ira fIiC officer. Now he works in the de- tective bureau. For it is not safe to allow him to stand in a street congested by automobiles.
 For many months after he re- covered from the first effects of the gas he suffered fainting attacks at short intervals. He lapsed into coma. Physicians administered oxy- gen to save his life. They sue ceeded.
 The seizures became less frequent. He had one in December, then for several months he was comparatively we'll. A few days ago he collapsed IS he started to work.
 What will be next? He doesn't know. Physicians don't know. The death-dealing nitrogen perox. ide which he inhaled two years ago usually kills by causing the lungs to be filled with fluid. It also causes dilation of the aretries, low blood pressure and serious changes in the blood itself. Its action is In. sidious. Many Of the gas victims in the clinic disaster suddenly col lapsed and died hours--even days after they seemed we'll again.

OIL EMBARGO RULE
IS SLATED MONDAY
House Committee to Fix
Amount of Imports to
Get Free Entry.
~ the Associated press

~ the Associated Press.
How much foreign oil should be al
lowed free entry into the United States
N competition with domestic production
VAL be ruled upon Monday by the House
ways and Means Committee.
The proper figure to put oil imports
On an equal footing with domestic pro-
rated output formed the heart Of a
compromise submitted informally yes
verday to Chairman Hawley
Independent producers urged that not
more than 10000 900 barrels of crude
OIL should be imported in free competi-
ton with the domestic product in a
plan designed to meet Geneva treaty
obligations against embargoes. Beyond
This figure a tariff of 81 barrel or
more would be applied, with rate Of
100 per cent on refined products.
Agree on 3-Year Limit.
TO meet obstacles expected to con-
'front.' any tariff legislation in both
Houses, the independents have agreed
the law should apply only for three
years, the time fixed in the Capper-
CARRIER bill now before the Senate
After determining whether the oil bill
shall be given favorable report to the
House, the committee will consider the
Burtness bill, approved by Chairman
Legge, for a temporary embargo on de-
pressed farm products. Next in order
Is the Williamson bill for a general ban
on all Russian products.
Advocates of manganese embargo
closed the hearings on import pro-
hihitionS. President j. Carson Adker-
son and Harold A. Pumpelly Of the
American Manganese Producers As
ISOLATION, said Russian dumping was
breaking the domestic industry.
Backs Action on Russia.
Pumpelly said in addition to the
freight diderential in favor Of Russia,
the Soviet ore contained q higher per-
centage of metallic manganese.
Henry Baker of Durham, N. c., said
the action Of the Chicago Board Of
Trade in stopping Russian wheat trad
ing was "a useful precedent for the en-
tire country" E. s. Clark, Phoenix,
Ariz., added his Endorsement to a
manganese embargo.
In q brief outline of conditions in a
Russian lumber prison camp, Arthur K.

ueved in dime novel"

LEAKING ROOF GARDENS
ANNOY TENANTS BELOW
Experts Advise Proper Drainage to
Keep Apartment Problem From
Becoming Acute.

NEW YORK (NANA)-It seems
that a top-hoor tenant of an apartment
house has complained that neighbours
garden Is leaking into his bed room
The garden, Of course, is on the roof,
and this problem of protecting bed
rooms from leaky gardens will grow
acute, the experts say, If the proper
precautions are not taken.
Roof garden folk, therefore, are ad-
viSed to cover a brick wall with copper
before laying garden soil against 1t.
Feed and drainage pipes should be
placed in advance II the roof garden is
to have a fountain. The garden soil
should contain light garden loan. Sifted
leaf mold or granulated peat moss and
clean, gritty sand.
Much tufa stone. which is OF volcanic
origin, is used in Japanese roof gardens
and many Swiss mountain pines now
rise from the Alpine-like heights of the
city's apartment houses.

"MURDER" is LATEST FAD
IN LONDON PARTY GAMES
Guests Sit In Darkness Half Hour

Sleuths Trace Him.

LONDON (E.AN.AD. - The latest
game among the bright young things,
and one that is being played at nearly
every party, is called murder" 1t Is
not. however, quite so macabre as it
sounds.
Each guest is given a slip of paper,
and whoever draws a slip with q black
cross has to commit murder" The
lights 60 out and the party remains
IN darkness sometimes for half an hour
or more. When they are turned up
again, two chosen detectives" get to
work.
There Is q rigid cross-examination
and the murderer is eventually dis
covered. The game, 1t has been noted
a. particularly favored by those in love
Curiously enough, q somewhat similar
game was played at Versailles In the
days of Marie Antoinette, called de.
canpativos.
