LEPERS, DISEASE
ARRESTED, ARE
GIVEN FREEDOM
Government Releases II
From City of Living
Dead Hospital.


CARVILLE. La. Feb. 13.-Eleven
men and women. committed TO the
city of the living dead" here, will
20 out into the world Saturday as
free men and women.
They are patients at the United
states leprosarium. Dr.. o. z. Den
ny, superintendent of the institu-
ton. today announced they are free
OF the plague and can mingle with
eociety.
The patients to be released had
been confined from three to five
years. Their afliction, DR.. Denny
laid, was mild, and easily arrested.
None of the eleven was released
as cured" All, however, will be re-
leased as arrested" and free from
possible communication to other
humans.
Three patients are Mexicans, five
F1lipinos, and the remainder Amer
ican-born. Only two are women.
DR.. Denny pointed out that pa
tents at the Carville leprosarium
are increasing gradually. He did
not, however, attribute this to an
increase in leprosy. but rather to
better detection by physicians and
increased desire by victims to have
the disease arrested.
There are now, including the
eleven to be released tomorrow, 800
patients, compared to the 80 aver
age during the last year.
The disease is arrested by the
use Of chaulmaugra, which has been
used as a treatment for leprosy
since biblical times.

STORY OF GRANT '- ON AIR TONIGHT
Soconyland Sketch Reveals How He Got Title "Un-
 conditional Surrender"

The story of theetaoishrdleIeta
 The story of the battle which won for Ulysses s. Grant the nick name Unconditional Surrender" Grant will be presented as a dra- matic playlet during tonight's Soconyland sketch through Stations ;WEAF and WTIC a, 7:30 o'clock.
 During the early days of the War of the Rebellion Grant, who at that time was brigadier general, was stationed with a force of men at Cairo. Illinois. He realized the ne- cessity of breaking the Confederate line and opening the Mississippi river. General Hallock, his superior, who was stationed at St Louis, had no plan of action and Grant could not act until he got word from him. Taking matters into his own hands Grant went to Hallock's headquart- CTS and presented his plans which were turned down. He was ordered back to. his post at Cairo. A few weeks later Grant plan was pre- scented by Commander Foote. who was in charge of fleet of gun-boats on the Ohio. Hallock was forced to give consideration to Foote and Grant was told to capture Fort Henry. This he did. He also pushed on and captured Fort Donelson, which he was not instructed to do. The reasoning that he used for talk ing matter into his own hands and the methods he employed bring the playlet to its climax.
 The part of Grant will be played by Percy Moore. Hallock will be portrayed by Richard Gordon, who, like Moore, Is a well known radio performer.

Have you ever noticed how q
child loves to put on Mothers
jewelry? She loves the dangle
of a necklace and a bracelet
loves the CLINT Of silver or gold
and the brightness of colored
stones. And perhaps. more
than anything else, she adores
to play "grown-up."
Little Tots Have Their Innings
There never used to be much
choice in jewelry when it came
to the "Kiddies." But now,
stores-always on the alert to
provide delights for even the
youngest in the family-are
concentrating on the little ones.
For there's almost as much to
intrigue you in cunning jewelry
for children as there is in
grown-up jewelry.
Lucky With Elephants
a little girl usually learns at
an early age that an elephant
charm stands for good luck.
She's always thrilled at receiv-
ing them-and just imagine
how she'd feel receiving three
elephants to wear. We've pic
tured these elephants hanging
from an enamel chain, on the
child at the extreme left. You
can choose it in the little girls
favorite color, too-for 1t comes
in jade ivory, rose, quartz, vel.
low, blue or red. And 81 is all
it costs.
It's a nice idea to make a
set and buy a bracelet to
match. This cute one with the
elephants costs only 50 cents.
All Sterling Silver
What child doesn't love the
whimsical book of winnie the
Pooh" and it's amusing char
made world famous by
its author. A. A. Milne? And
what little girl wouldn't adore
owning a pendant with three
of the figures dangling from
it? And a flexible bracelet
made entirely of the char
acters? We've sketched this
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1931-12-02

set on the second child above.
It's all made Of sterling silver.
What q wonderful Christmas
present 1t would make. About
So for the set-or 81 for
either one.
There's lots Of other lovely
Winnie the- Pooh jewelry, too.
And we couldn't resist sketch
ing two more pieces that we
saw-a little fish scale mesh
bag and another bracelet.
You'll see them sketched first
below.
On the outside of the bag
its co1ored enamel, by the
way--there's depicted a wiggly
piglet. or q "kanga," or per
haps O Pooh" reaching for
some "Hunny." The frame
tops enamel. too, and there's q
linked chain to slip over the
wrist. The price Is just about
81.
And the little bangle bracelet
next to it Is made Of sterling
silver. The characters appear
ing at spaced intervals are in
different colored enamel. And
81 Is all this costs, too!
Real Leather
At a nearby counter we found
some Winnie the Pooh" pocket
books! Yes, with the char
acters done in colors on the
frame top.
Or on a tab at the side, as is
the one we picked TO show you
sketched in the middle below. It
has a metal frome top and it's
lined with MORE. The price Is
only about a dollar-and it's
made Of real leather!
And wouldn't q little tot adore
to have a Pooh" hanky to hang
from out Of this pocketbook?
You can buy q box Of four
each with o different parsonage
in sheer cotton for so cents
or in very fine linen for 81.
On s. Leash
While ct this same children'S
handbag counter, we came
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1931-12-02

, acrocs another one that's too
cunning for words. We've illus
trated it at the right below.
It's oblong in shape and has
Upper closing-which just fas-
cinates q child, we're told. And
down in the corner there's
little spotted dog. His leash runs
diagonally across the bag, end.
ing in a loop at the top-just
the thing to slip a little wrist
through and keep from losing
such o lovely gift. It's made Of
real leather, too, and also costs
81.
For Slightly Older Little { 'rIs
Now to go back to the subject
of jewelry. It's by no means all
made with animal subjects.
There are lots Of other more
formal varieties.
we were crazy about the
little pendant sketched on the
third child above. It has q fine
chain, interpreted with tiny
pearls, and a crystal drop, set
in chased silver. Such a dainty
thing-the price is about 81 and
it's copied from a very high.
priced pendant. The bracelet
that goes with it costs the
same.
Flowers i'm Ffligree
Nothing could be more ex-
uuisite, however, than the chain
and Italian filigree flower drop
sketched on the last child on
the right above. Such delicate
workmanship-Such a very femi'
nine creation! Your little
daughter will clap her hands
with Joy If she gets this from
Santa claus. It only costs a
dollar.
The links in the matching
bracelet are all made of filigree
and that's the reason that It
costs a little n1ore-about $1.2S.
In our Christmas booklet
we've suggested lots more grand
gifts for children. Things you'd
never think Of! Write In for 1t
and get some more good ideas!

BY TEMPLE MANNING

Many visitors find Hongkone
the most fascinating place in
all Asia. Certainly 1t is the
most important commercially
in the entire Orient.
Its huge commerce-second
only to that Of London and
New York-is the result Of its
being directly on the trade
route Of India and China. 1t
controls the Straits Of Malacca,
which lie south of it, and the
Straits of FormoSa, which
stretch to the north Of it.
A Breathtaking Sight
Hongkong's harbor is a
breathtaking sight. This is IS
square miles in extent and
mountains 5000 feet In height
look down on it from the main
land. One Of the treats Of the
island Is the twenty-two-mile
drive around it. This affords
some Of the most exotic and
