SAVANT AND REPORTER COMPILE
BOOK ON s'LOST" MOUNTAINEERS
DR.. Mandel Sherman and Thomas R. Henry Write of
'Hollow Folk in the Blue Ridge

The story of people who have lived
and died along unchanged lines In the
Blue Ridge Mountains. for more than
100 years while an unheeded civiliza-
ton sped by, has been put between the
covers Of a book, Hollow Folk" by
DR.. Mandel Sherman and Thomas r.
Henry, which has Just come from the
press Of Thomas Y. CrOwen Co.
The authors Of the book were quail
fled to write with sympathy and dis
elimination the history Of these people,
whose elemental mode Of living Is
made more significant by virtue Of the
fact that the Nations Capital lies less
than 100 miles away.
DR.. Sherman Is in charge of the
psychiatric work of the Orthogenic
School Of the University Of Chicago
and since 1922 he has been identified
with studies Of the emotions and per-
sonality. He received his M. D. degree
at Rush Medical College and a Phi. d.
from the University of Chicago. From
February, 1928, to July, 1881, he was
director of the Washington Child Re
search Center.
Readers of The Star know Mr.. Henry,
a member of the reportorial staff of
this newspaper, through his writing on
scientific subjects and his stories Of
the mountain folk. Mr.. Henry re-
ceived the degree of A. B. from Clark
University In 1914. Since, he has pur-
sued studies in psychology and sociol-
ogy and received the degree Of M. A.
from George Washington University.
A series Of articles on these noun
tain people wl31ch he wrote for The
Star two yearE ago attracted the at
tentiou Of Dr.. 6hsgInan, and resulted

in their collaboration on the book.
Shortly after the first series of articles
had been published, President Hoover,
whose Summer camp on the Rapidan
was near the abode of the hollow folk,
became actively interested in the well
fare of the backward mountain people
scattered throughout that section.
The new book Is based on material
gathered by two psychologists and their
assistants, q nutritionist, psychiatrist,
sociologists and a field worker, the
latter having lived for two years among
the mountain people gathering social
and economic data.
Dealing with five distinct groups OF
these isolated people, the book Is es-
sentially OF lost chapter in American
history. From "Colvin" Hollow, where
until 1928, the children had never seen
Prayer, to Briarsville, the community
highest In the stage of development
the authors have pursued their study
the results Of which are described in the
book. They have sought to deal SYM
pathetically with life and death, the
religion, superstitions, morality, educa-
ton and personality of these little
known descendants Of Anglo-Saxon
stock.
The vast difference between theirs
and the outside world is exemplified by
the case Of Blanche Carson" who died
In "Rigby" Hollow, of tuberculosis be-
cause she had an aversion to live snails
Had she swallowed one day for nine
days, her neighbors told the authors
she would not have wasted away and
died of the disease. There are innu-
merable incidents, along the same line
which describe the beliefs and folk lore
Of these little known Americans.

REVIEWING STANDS
FORM COURT ISSUE
Lessees of Property Seek to
Enjoin Wrecking Concerns
Use of Seats.

The United Motor Terminals, Inc,
which leased the property formerly oc-
cupied by the Metropolitan Hotel on
Pennsylvania avenue between Sixth and
Seventh streets, today asked the Dis
trict Supreme Court for an injunction
against the Hechinger Engineering Co.,
and its president, Sidney L. Hechinger,
to prevent the construction Of a review
ing stand on the second floor of the
building and to require the surrender of
the property to the lessee so that it may
operate the stands.
Through Attorney William A. Gala
CHER, the plaintiff says it turned the
property over to the Hechinger Co., for
wrecking January II, which was to be
completed in 80 days. The wrecking of
the building was halted by the de-
fendant, 1t is said, and reviewing stands
erected February "a and advertised for
sale.
The plaintiff told the court it mott
fed Hechinger as early as February 3
that it was anxious to get possession of
the site in time to erect reviewing stands
for the Inauguration. The company said
about 1900 seats could have been pro-
Wded in stand on the site, but Hech-
niger has arranged for only $500.
The court was asked to compel the
surrender of the property, and to pre-
vent Hechinger from interfering with
the plaintiffs agents In the operation
Of the reviewing stands.
Justice Cox issued rule on the Hech-
ingers, returnable tomorrow.

Maj. Gen. Ben H. Fuller, commandant

AMBULANCE SPEED
Corporation Counsel Asked
to Draft Proposed New
Regulation.
POLICE AND FIRE CARS
LIKELY TO BE INCLUDED
Action Is Taken After Accident in
Which Boy Died and Several
Were Injured.

The District Commissioners today
asked Corporation Counsel w. w. Brlde
to draft a proposed new regulation de-
signed to prohibit District vehicles from
travelling at excessive speed, even
though operating on emergency calls.
The proposed new regulation was
asked after the accident at Fourteenth
and E streets Monday night, involving
an Emergency Hospital ambulance and
a private car, in which 3-year-old Orsp
Lentz, jr., was killed and number OF
persons injured.
The action of the commissioners, how
ever, does not imply any decision on
their part regarding responsibility Tor
that accident, but it and other Incl
dents moved them to call for further
study of the regulations as applying to
District apparatus on emergency calls.
May Apply to Police Cars.
DR.. Reichelderfer said the suggested
new regulations would likely apply to
Police and Fire Department Vehicles
as well as to District ambulanceS. Gen.
Herbert B. Crosby, police commissioner,
pointed out at the conference tnat some
time ago George S. Watson, fire chief,
had issued an order to drivers of fire
apparatus against use of unnecessary
speed.
Under existing regulations, authorized
District vehicles, such as fire and police
cars and ambulancsS, are exempt from
the regulation setting speed limits. The
regulation, however, adds: This provi-
sion shall not relieve the driver of an
authorized emergency vehicle from the
duty to drive with due regard for the
safety Of all persons using the street,
nor shall it protect the driver of any
such vehicle from the consequence of a
reckless disregard of the safety of
others"
DR.. Reichelderfer plans to consider a
new regulation strengthening this pro-
vision.
Mr. and Mrs. Oren Lentz, parents of
the child killed in Monday nights acci-
dent, we're reported improved today at
Emergency Hospital. Their infant son,
Terrell; Lentzs sister, Miss Helen
Lentz; Thomas Edwards and Clarence
Montgomery, colored driver of the
ambulance, also were recovering.

PARKING CHANGES
Streets Wide Enough to Permit
All-Night Rule Without Danger,
Associations View.

The Southeast Washington Citizens
Association went on record last night in
opposition to any interference with
present regulations permitting all-night
automobile parking on city streets.
It was the opinion of the association
that Washington streets are wide enough
to permit all-night parking without en-
dangering the safety of motorists and
that inaSmuch as the present system
has worked satisfactorily, there should
be no change.
The question of furnishing hot lunches
for school was discussed in detail. but
no action was taken by the association.
Representatives Of the Parent Teacher
Association expressed the belief the
nutritive value Of crackers and milk Is
as great as hot soup and that such q
diet Is less trouble to prepare. Other
speakers favored the furnishing OF soups
and stews.
