Message From Spirit

band assured Sherman S. Furr,
aviation enthusiast of Newport
News, Va, that the former
Broadway torch singer is inno-

Furr claimed in a letter made
public here today.
., Hundreds of letters have been
received by the principals in the
million dollar mystery Staying but
this is the first in which a writer
has contended he conversed with
the spirit of the dead. Furr's
letter read:
'The spirit Of your dear
- husband appeared to me and
? informed me you are innocent
and have no need to worry.
9 He said other things will
!. not recite at this time. God
bless you and your dear father
and loved ones. am your

In a letter to Mr.. Holman,
FUR said Reynolds once gave
$500 to the Newport Training
School, Inc, of which Furr is
treasurer. He said Reynolds was
not an idle youth who craved
excitement but a serious minded
individual with a willingness to
help finance worthy causes.

WHATS GOOD
FOR A COLD +?
Recent Scientific Research
Favors a Delightful In
halant Called "Vapex"

A prominent medical research
laboratory recently made public
two important facts about reliev-
ing head-colds, following a series
of unbiased tests.
Vapex is more likely to bring
swift, safe relief than gargles,
sprays, salves, and drops. Be-
cause you breathe the soothing
vapor, thus reaching the breath
ing-passages where the seat Of
a cold really is where an
inhalant alone can penetrate
naturally.
Tests prove definitely, too, that
the Vapex vapor kills germs
present during a head-cold. Other
inhalants tested had little germ
killing power proving that
many substitutes called Gust as
good as Vapex" are really far
inferior.
You'll like breathing Vapex.
There's no muss or fuss. Just
sprinkle a few drops on your
handkerchief and at the ends Of
your pillow breathe the re-
freshing vapor and the dis
tress of a cold soon disappears.
Vapex is now reduced from
81 to 75c bottle. Be sure to ask
for V-A-P-E-X at your drug
gist's. You can depend on it to
relieve your colds swiftly,
safely.

More than 800 youths here with the
hunger marcherS are just the 1otsam
and ietsam of the economic storm this
country is passing through, and in nor
NAL times would be going to high school
and playing the sports of more fortu-
nate youths who have stayed at home,
Mrs. Margaret Ford. head of the
Travellers Aid, declared at a confer
ence of social workers yesterday.
The conference was held to discuss
the problem of handling transient men
and boys.
Way TO Crime.
THE open road" she declared, ais
the shortest path to delinquency and
crime. Most of these boys haven't had
chance-having been forced out of
school and home because of the de-
preston and the financial worries of
their families. They have been taking
to the road in increasing numbers dur
ing the past year. to bum their way
from coast to coast. their only food
that handed out by soup kitchens. BY
the time they have been on the bum
few months and have suffered cold,
hunger and other discomforts, anything,
however bad. attracts them"
School facilities, she said, have not

grown boys and girls. She advocated
increased opportunities for recreation
and urged control, as far as possible. of
the leisure time of adolescent youth.
Influences Lasting.
Influences that touch boys between
the ages of Ia and 20 often make a
lasting impression on their lives" she
stated. THE public resents hunger
marches and radical demonstrations,
yet it does not understand that when
it refuses to bother with the problem of
homeless youth, it is personally re-
Sponsible for the spread of crime. No
boy starts out to be bad. He drifts into
evil, because he sees no better way
ahead"
Mrs. Ford concluded by saying, for
tunately for Washington, there are a
large number of compassionate citizens
who realize the great stress put upon
our youth today and these men and
women are banding together to save
homeless boys and girls from hopeless,
futile wandering. Working with the
Travellers Aid, these people are max
ing definite plans to cope effectivly with
transient youngsters and give them a
fighting chance to become worthwhile
members of the community. If other
cities will take similar steps, these runa-
way children can find homes and happi-
ness once more"

comedy. A hairs breadth separated it
from tragedy. One nervous policeman
one excited hunger marcher-and this
mornings paper would have told far
different story and the rising moon
might have looked on carnage and DESC
lation.
And. since it succeeded, it was
magnificent bit OF strategy. Perhaps it
was the one move which could have
enabled the hunger army to leave
Washington with any idea or dclusion
of victory. For it established a totally
new relationship between the marchers
and the police. A new and most potent
weapon has been called into pay
humor. Ordinarily nothing is so for
eign to the entire personality Of the
American Ped" He is nothing if not
griInly serious.
Hard on Policemen.
The police were in no good humor.
These hunger marchers have been an
intolerable nuisance to them. They have
robbed them of the days off. They have
kept their families in & state Of constant
worry. They have required Of them
those long. cold night watches on the
New York avenue hillsides. Lots of
them wouldn't have been sorry for a
chance to swing their clubs. These po-
lice were a very human set Of fellows
and most assuredly very decent and
patient crowd
But they couldn't help but be infected

none of your story-book jokes, but
something out Of real life with the very
elemental stuff of laughter in it. The
roots of laughing go as deep as the roots
Of weeping.
The Joke was on them. But they
laughed at the hunger marchers and
they laughed with them. There was an
almost instantaneous letdown of tension.
The police were no longer anticipating
trouble. The hunger marchers remained
nuisance, but they had compensated
for it by a bit Of rare entertainment
The college spirit against dear old Tex
tile had abated markedly
But one wonders what might have
happened if the joke had been the
other way-if the police had INDUCED
in such horseplsy against the hunger
marchers. Reds" aren't reputed to be
good at taking a joke.

Capt. Hoover said the farmer groups

Among the first arrivals at the tourist

camp of the desperate plight of many
farmers in the Middle West, who are
losing their homes and who lack suffi-
cient food and clothing, due to inability
to dispose of crops.

DOCTOR WANTS RICH WIFE
Seeks to Continue His
Career Without
Any Worries

DR.. Hugh Barnes. of the Chastle-
ton Hotel. announces himself a
candidate for matrimony in order
that he may pursue the profession
of healing without financial
worries.
DR.. Barnes came here from
Texas. where, he tells The Times,
he was personal physician to a
Southwestern oil and cattle king
until economic conditions forced
the latter'S enterprises into bank
ruptcy. He has devoted nine Of
his 35 years to the practice Of
medicine. -
Practiced in Europe
Because of his interest in his
work, he feels that matrimony
might be the most suitable means
of financing his career.
The same practice is followed
by many European army off,
GERS; indeed. in some European
armies it is the custom to dis
courage marriage among young
officers unless their brides-to-be
bring considerable dowries.
DR.. Barnes feels that the
career Of a physician is of quite
as much value to the public as
that of any other public servant,
and he expresses the following
views as the result of his ex-
perience:
"The average person who un-
dertakeS the study of healing
has the health and happiness
of mankind at heart. There
fore, in order to give the best
he has to humanity, he should
be relieved as far as possible
Of financial strain.
Therefore, If it is possible
