companion, and victory in the 500
mile speedway race as their goal,

She is Mrs. Anna De Biase, who

Those men are rebuilding with
rapidity and mechanical precision
her own race car-The De BiaSe
Special.
CUNDAY afternoon, her car-"the

brought forth the cheers of spec
tators as it started its warming up
trip for qualification.
But on the south turn, an oil or
gas line gave way and few min
utes later flames roared high as the
car caught fire coming out of the
back stretch into the north turn.
By Wednesday, though, it will be
a far different story, Mrs. DeBiase
says. Her car will be as trim and
mechanically perfect as before, and
it will be on the bricks to push its
nose over the qualifying wire.
I'm not going to give up" she
said when went in this game
I expected something like this. But
I went in with the intent of win
ming and nothing is going to stop
me. I'm going to stick with it and
fight the battle to the finish.
MY car is going to qualify

roar away Saturday I'm going to do
all I can to see that it's right up
there in the battle"

It's just like the restaurant bust
ness" she continued. when we
started up, people told us it wouldn't
go. But it did. We fought all the
way and that's the way feel about
my car"
Mrs. De Biase said she had cried
herself to sleep at nights after peo-
pie tried to discourage her in her
efforts to enter a car in this years
race.
In the stands Sunday Mrs. De
Biase watched her car, driven by
Floyd (Sparky) Sparks, take the
turns on the brick oval.
1T was the incest and prettiest
car on the track" she said. "Peo-
pie sitting behind me said so. It's a
beautiful job. When I saw those
flames and knew it was my car it
made me sick. But I was so thank
ful-ever so thankful-that the boys
weren't hurt. They had looked
death in the face and were game.
after it was over I hauled the

it fixed"

or dental defects found during school
inspections.
DR., Fowler agrees with the Council of
Social Agencies that the school health
work should be expanded. He has had
difficulty in securing funds necessary
to increase medical and dental service
in the schools.
He IS inclined to the belief that the
inspection service should be extended
into the private schools of Washington,
as suggested by the experts who made
the recent health survey.
One of the dangers which Johnny
must avoid is that dread enemy of good

vate health authorities are doing their
utmost to safeguard him from this

One great advantage that Johnny has

has reason to be proud of Washingtons
supply of dairy products. Every drop
of milk sold in Washington comes from
tuberculin-tested COWS. and 81 per cent
of the milk is pasteurized.
The councils survey revealed the tu-
berculosis problem as perhaps one of
the most important and complex of the
health problems of the CITY," An av-
erage of 1,193 eases of tuberculosis are
reported each year, with an average of
582 deaths per annum. Authorities
would like to reduce these figures.
The only hospital facilities for tuber-
cular children are at Children's Hos
pital. Only adults are admitted to the
pital. There are two health schools"
and health camp for affected children.
Diphtheria Treatment Necessary.
Diphtheria immunization is conduct
ed among children of pre-school age,
but there appears to be need for a
large expansion of this work. DR..
Fowler believes the Schick test should
be given to greater number of young
children, but the educational services
OF parent-teacher' organizations are
essential to popularize the immuniza-
ton service.
More recently the Health Department
has added another service to school
children. Audiometer tests for dis
closing hearing deficiencies among the
pupils are to be given regularly before
long. Special advance tests have shown
the advlsability of establishing a per-
manent audiometer examination SER
