BOY, 8, BATTLES
FATAL MALADY

Smiling and refusing to believe
that he is fatally i'll, 9-year-old
FREDERICK Marino. of Mclean, Va.
is battling for his life in George
town Hospital where he is con-
fined with leukemia, an almost
unfathomable disease, which Is
sucking the life blood from his
body.
Although physicians say that
little FREDERICK is struggling SIN
gle-handed against disease
which they are almost poWerless
to check, the youngster smiles on,
confident that he will soon be up
and about with his young friends.
The malady, seldom found in
adults, and even less frequent
amoung children, is almost always
fatal. Known as cancer of the
blood" leukemia attacks the red
corpuScIes of the blood and thinS
the blood to such degree that it
is possible to bleed to death from
the slightest abrasion of the skin.
In the final stages, continuous
and profuse bleeding, which doc
tors cannot check, causes death.
According to physicians, the
boys life can be prolonged by
blood transfuSions, but the relief
will only be temporary. They de-
clare that with the traaSfusions,
the boy can live only for a short
time.

Dry Law Enforced as
. Well as Decalogue
Says Brookhart

COLON, Panama, April 8
GN.SO. - Prohibition is en-
forced at least as successfully as
the Ten Commandments, &C
cording to Senator Smith w.
Brookhart, Insurgent Repuoli-
can dry of Iowa.
Prohibition is not 100 per
cent success" Senator Brook
hart told the congregation Of
the Cristobal Union Church,
"but one might say it is as
successfully enforced as the
ten commandments"
Brookhart reiterated his de-
termination to prevent Amerl-
can soldiers and sailors from
entering wet Panama terri
tory.

New York today aboard the

NJ 7. Al To MAN
KILLS SELF

Joe B. Hoffer, 80, of San Angelo,
Tex, a patient at Mt. Alto Hos
pital, was found stretched on a
bed in Ward B early today, a
bullet wound in his right temple.
A 38-caliber revolver was found
clutched in his hand.
He had been a patient at the
hospital since 1924, and according
to attaches at the hospital was
hopelessly paralyZed.
The body was found by Arthur
Whiteway, who went into the
ward about 6 o'clock to see that
everything was in order. Hoffer
was pronounced dead by Dr.
Harris j. Foreman, jr., of the hos,
pital staff. A certificate of sui
eide was issued by Coroner j
Ramsay hewitt.
Officials at the hospital are
preparing to launch an investiga
ton into the death.
Officers in charge of the hos
pital refused to discuss the case
other than admitting that Hoffer
had committed suicide. They de
clared that any information re
garding Hoffer was confidential.
and that they were bound by the
regulations of the Army not tt
reveal any facts concerning any
patient.

CHICACO loses
TITLE FIGHT

CHICAGO, April 8 G.N.SO.
The Max schmeling-Y Young Strib-
ling championship fight is lost
to Chicago. It will be staged in
Cleveland in the new Municipal
Stadium on July 3.
Official announcement Of this
will come a week from today in
South Bend, where William F..
Carey, president of Madison
Square Garden Corporation, will
meet with Sheldon Clark and a
group of Chicago newspaper men.
Inability on the part of Carey
and his Madison Square Garden
Corporation, of Illinois, to adjust
matters relating to the staging
of the title bout here caused the
shift to Cleveland.
The failure to get a 15-round
law here. the threat of the Chi
cago Stadium Corporation to seek
an injunction against the fight, the
refusal of the Illinois Athletic
Commission to allow the New
York Milk Fund show to share in
the profits, and the hostile atti-
tude Of certain individuals, to-
gether with the high rental asked
by the South Park board, all
figured in the shift.
