Relief gardens range in size
from small city gardens to an
acre or more in rural districts.
The farm and garden department.
has been emphasizing the import
ance of growing produce for sub
sistence purposes with the expec-
tation of having relief discon-
tinued in the fall. 1t has been
the purpose of this department
of the relief work to supply
those on relief with necessary
garden aids in the way of seeds
and fertilizer to the extent that
the workers felt such was justi-
fled and advantageously used.
Two government mules have
been used in the Hendersonville
community in order to help those
without teams in the cultivation
of hteir gardens. Those receiv-
ing garden aid of any nature are
being required to reimburse the
relief office by working on some
of the unfinished CWA projects
at the rate of 30c an hour.
1t has been a rule of the relief
office to discontinue food orders
and garden helps to anyone who
did not cooperate with the Or
ganization in the proper care of
gardens Or in reporting for work
when assigned to such.
The same rule will apply to
those who are Indifferent about
planting gardens for fall and

TAKES
MISS DRESSLER
"Grand Old Lady Of the
Screen" Loses Valiant
Fight for Life
BY ALANSON EDWARDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

United Press Stan Correspondent
HOLLYWOOD, July 80. (UP).
Motion picture fans the world
over last night joined the Holly
wood film colony in mourning
their greatest idol, Marie Dress
Ter, in death. Her body was re-
turned yesterday for services and
burial amid the surroundings of
her greatest triumphs.
"The grand old lady of the
SCREEN" with an amazing half
century career on stage and in
pictures behind her, died late Sat-
urday in Santa Barbara after a
long battle against malignant
malady.
Her last public appearance was
at a gigantic birthday part in
November, 1888, and it will re-
main her last-for friends and
film associates decreed today that
her funeral will be private.
This was in response to Miss
Dressler's own wishes, coupled
with the fear of repetition of
scenes which married the funeral
of Rudolph Valentino and the
more recent obsequies for Lilyan
Tashman.
The body of the actress, who
was a victim of uraemia and can
Ger, was returned here by train
from the Monticello estate of Mr..
and Mrs. A. B. Walker, where she
made her desperate but losing
fight against death.
Because of the evident desire
for seclusion, it was announced
that services will be held at 9 a.
m. Tuesday in the Week Kirk O.
the Heather church at Forest
Lawn cemetery, Glendale, where
mourners will be admitted by
card.
Although the mourners will be
few, there will be no social lines
drawn. Mattresses, hairdressers
and messenger boys who were
special favorites at the studio will
be there along with producers and
players in formal morning clothes.
The sealed casket will not be
opened for her friends to see the
body, CARRIED in a plum-colored
afternoon dress. She wanted to
be remembered as she was IN lie,
not in death. Interment at For
est Lawn will follow the cere-
mony. -,
Rev. Neal Dodd of the Little
Church Around the Corner IN
HOLLYWOOD will read the Episcopal
service. Katherine Lewis, who al
ways played an organ between
scenes on Miss Dressler's sets, will
accompany number of songs by
jeanette Macdonald, film star and
a longtime friend of the dead &C
tress.
Physicians, nurses and others
who attended Miss Dressler in
her final three-months illness
agreed that only her indomltabie
will maintained life as long as 1t
did.
Her last words, as she smiled
up from her pillows, were, u put
up a good fight, didn't II"
The words were spoken more
than a week before her heart
beat its last. Since that time she
was in comatose condition ana
unable to speak, 70
At the end she quietly went to

ALTITUDE TRIP
ENDS IN WRECK
FOR HUGE BAG
Balloon Damaged by Rips
at $4,000 Feet; Men
Take to Parachutes
NONE HURT; SOME
OF RECORDS INTACT
b. T. F. REYNOLDS
United Press Staff Correspondent

HOLDEREDGE, Neb., July 80.
CUP). Valuable scientific in
formation may result from the
army's stratosphere flight. de-
spite the disastrous crash of the
huge balloon Explorer"
One valuable instrument, a
spectrograph, landed away from
the wrecked gondola. 1t is be,
lieved to be intact. One, and
possibly more, instruments may
be in condition to salvage and
records of the flight may be had
from them, it was learned yester-
day.
The three airmen-Major Will
liam E. Kepner, commanding Of
ficer, Co-Pilot Captain o. A. An
derson and Capt. A. w. Stevens,
observer brought the disabled
craft eleven-twelfths of the way
to the earth before thew leaped
and saved themselves with their
parachutes. Methods of handling
a lighter-than-air craft gained
from navigating the worlds larg-
est balloon will be of value to
future stratosphere expeditions.
The flight, according, to the
officers, passed through three
distinct intervals. Their ascent
to an altitude of $4,000 feet was
without incident. There they
let the huge craft drift while
they rugged their instruments.
Forty minutes was spent during
this operation.
The second interval occurred
in the ascent from $4,000 feet
until the balloon developed rips
in the lower fabric. The dra-
matte descent to spot where a
parachute leap was possible mark
ed the third and most spectacu-
lar event of the flight.
Anderson, the army's expert on
lighter-than-air crafts and one of
the inspecting officers during con-
struction of the Shenandoah, i'll
fated navy dirigible, could not
explain destruction of the balloon
fabric. He said future stratos-
.phere balloons possibly should be
constructed of heavier material.
The pilots hailed a siphon-bal-
loon valve, invented by Stevens,
as one of the greatest achieve
ments of the flight. 1t operated
automatically and did away with
the old style valve which was
controlled by a rope. Anderson
said this valve saved the ship
from complete destruction at a
highaltitude by regulating the
discharge of gas from the bal
loon.
The spectrograph which was in
tact was roped to the bottom of
the gondola. Major Kekner
loosened it when the ship became
disabled and it dropped to the
earth supported by a small para
chute.
Two other instruments of SINH
lar type carried inside the gon-
dola were destroyed.
Scientists who followed the
flioht of the balloon were to ex-
anime the salvaged equipment.
The entire contents of the gon-
dola and part of the fabric were
removed from where the ship
crashed to a warehouse at Kear-
ney. 35 miles northeast of here,
by Nebraska national guardsmen.
Results of the flight obtained
from the instruments and films,
part of which were saved by Cap
tain Stevens, will not be known
for several days, possibly weeks.

Greenwich, Conn, (UP)--"Nig- ger," the only cat known to have had bank account, is dead.
 Tho feline, orphaned by his alley-cat' mother 12 years ago, was "adopted" by Mrs Albert D.. Whitten who closely guarded his health and well-being until his untimely end.
 The only time "Nigger" ever escaped from the house, he mixed with ruffian and lost an eye. As result he contracted pneumonia and not only his mistress, but the ice and milk man were greatly concerned un- til he recovered.
 Another time he toppled from a socond-story porch and broke his tail. A veterinarian placed the injured member in splints for several weeks.
 On still another occasion the cat developed a toothache and the disturbing molar was pulled.
 Turing the last two years he wan content to enjoy the com forts of his ripe old age. When he began to fail, the butcher furnished several pints of beef blood which was fed to him with an eye-dropper. Finally he re- fused food and quietly passed away.
 "Nigger" left an estate of s110 which was on deposit at the Greenwich Trust company under the name "Niggie J. Catt".

Family Hunted Minnows
 For Pet Birds Menu

Philadelphia, (UP)-Elton Hor- pei went skiing one morning, and found a bird lying in the snow.
 He took it home, where it thaw- ed out and was identified by his high school biology teacher as a Holboell's Grebe, rare in these parts. The Grebe made himself at home, but refused to eat.
 We tried him on milk toast, corn and mother even made him some bran muffins," Horpel told his classmates. "I guess he must eat reindeer or something"
 After lengthy investigation it was learned that Holboel's Grebe eats nothing but minnows. The whole family turned out on a. minnow hunt. without success. so the arctic visitor was turned over to the Philadelphia zoo.
 '"They have minnows there all winter" Horpel said. "I could catch minnows for him in the summer time, but I'm afraid they won't flet me have him back"
