SEEN NEAR mouth
! OF FRENCH RIVER
Divers Leave to Recover About
100 Victims Of Excursion
Steamer Wreck

st. NaZaire, France, June 16-(R-
About 100 bodies from the sinking OF
the excursion steamer st. Philibert
were sighted Tuesday morning float
ing among wreckage near the mouth
Of the Loire river.
The pilot Of a hydroplane notified
authorities and tugs put off at once
with divers to recover them.
Eight army trucks, driven by young
soldiers, started for Nantes or q &c.
mile ride with the bodies of 70 per-
sons fished out Of the Bay of Biscay
Monday. They were placed in plain
wooden boxes and their clothes were
on to facilitate Identification.
It was decided to open the collins
in Nantes Tuesday afternoon so the
bereaved could begin the task of
claiming their beloved Ones.
Officials of the operating company
determined that 474, including the
crew but excluding children under
four years old, we're aboard the vessel
when she left Nantes Sunday for a
picnic at Noirmoutier island. Forty
three passengers declined to make the
return trip on account of stormy
weather and eight were rescued after
the boat went down near the mouth
of the Loire river.
Thus. the number Of the dead un-
officially was placed at least at 423.
It vas estimated that SO youngsters
who paid nc fares were aboard and
were lost.
Eight young men who were saved
were recovering in a hospital. The
bodies. SO Of them ONE and few
identified, lay in sheds along the
shore.
The City of Nantes alone lest 36S
citizens from the industrial class. One
family of mother, father, four oaugh-
tiers and two sons was wiped out.
Dozens of families of four. five and
six members persisted together. There
was hardly a resident who did not
not have a relative or friend aboard
the vessel. The entire city was in
mourning.
Search for the remaining bodies
was conducted by tugs, trawlers and
smaller craft, aided by two seaplanes
circling above.

CHILDREN SELECT
BENEFICIAL PLAY,
4. SURVEY REVEALS
Johnny, Mary Their Own Ath-
Ietic and Mental Trainers
in Tender Years

Cleveland, June 16.-R-Little
Johnny and Mary are their OWL ath-
ktic and mental trainers during the
process of growing up.
They seem to know what's good for
them, and Ey accident or design they
play with toys that do them the most
good developmentally.
This Is one Of the secrets being
revealed about children and their
development, their growth and def
ciencies by the Brush Foundation Of
Cleveland as it conducts q five-year
search for a definition Of q wel-born
human being.
Children in their play select the
large manipulative toys which, be-
cause Of their weight and general
cumbersomeness, develop the large
leg and arm muscles at the age when
these should be developed" says Dr..
Dewey L. Anderson, director OF
psychological research for the foun-
dalton.
III the toys are such that they
have but a single use, or do not allow
for being pulled apart and put back
together, they are not so popular with
the youngsters"
High hats" among the children.
DR.. Anderson has found, are the least
Intelligent, while the more intelligent
likewise are the more Sociable.
The foundations child laboratory Is
the nursery school at Western Reserve
university, where q selected group Of
small children Is brought by parents
for observation and study.
The children also are given tests to
measure their muscular and intel
lectual development. These consist
chiefly of cutting paper, holding their
arms steady, stringing beads and put
ting puzzles together.
DR.. Anderson says these tests have
revealed that a child is consistent
in his behavior from day to day. r
