AsAlyce Smiles Brauely On
It's Her Thrill of Living and Not Her
Queer Malady That Draws Interest.
BY HOWARD w. BLAKESLEE,

Associated Press Science Eoltor.
NEW YORK, March IA child's
zest for life is the explanation Of the
tremendous outburst of public inter-
est in the "upSide-down stomach"
operation of Alyce Jane McHenry.
There have been hundreds Of SIM
liar operations, yet until Alyce came
along the public virtually never had
heard of such thing. Even a good
many medical men, though they well
knew about the condition and its
remedy, looked up the records and
were surprised to find how rapidly
medical science has been advancing
in this line.
Covered Her Face.
Alyce, on her stretcher going into
the anesthesia room, was the perfect
picture OF why this single case broke
through the professional barriers that
usually keep the public from knowing
much about the feats of medicine.
She was wheeled down a corridor
to the aneSthesia room on a white
stretcher, white-uniformed nurse in
front and another behind her. She
lay on her right side, her face COW
cred by her two hands.
AT first glance it appeared as if she
might be crying, or spiritually COVER
ing at the ordeal ahead of her. But
as she passed each person in the cor
ridor. fingers would part over one eye
The eye was blue, it was not wet
with tears, there was no fear. 1t was
dancing, eager to catch every detail
on the way.
An TmpiSh Grin"
Alyce is a child of attractive fea-
lures. Had she been boy, the OBJ
servers would have described her as
covering her face to hide an impiSh
grin
The explanation was Alyce's inter-
est in life, in everything around her,
regardless of pain, and particularly
the hunger and thirst which tor
mented her for weeks.
1t was a child's unsophisticated in
terest, and that struck human cord
in all who saw her. It was the same
note that carried through in the
printed word of the newspaper men
and women who first went to see her
in Omaha, attracted by the novelty
of an upside down" stomach.

benefactor in sending her across the

GAS RATE SLASH
IND.C. DEMANDED
Citizens Request Study to
See if Charges Carry
Losses Elsewhere.

The Stanton Park Citizens Asso-
citation adopted a resolution last night
requesting the Public Utilities Com
mission to order a reduction in Dis
trict gas rates commensurate with
the reduction ordered by the Virginia
Public Service Commission in Vir-
ginia, pending final outcome of the
rate and valuation orders.
The resolution, introduced by Harry
N. Stull, chairman of the associations
Law and Legislation Committee, fur
ther requested the Utilities Commis-
sion to order an investigation into
the cost and feasibility of the use of
more natural gas under present plant
conditions of the Washington Gas
Light Co.
Asks Study Of Charges.
The Public Utilities Commission was
also requested to investigate the effect
of the sales of gas by the Washington
Gas Light Co. in Maryland and Vir-
ginia with a view to determining
whether District consumers are in any
way bearing costs or losses arising
out of sales to these States.
A large part of the meeting was
taken up with discussion of raising
money to boost the associations funds.
A bingo party will be held at the Pea
body School, Fifth and C streets
northeast, Saturday at 8 pm. Mrs
William Bartle, second vice president,
who presided last night in the absence

named chairman of the Arrangements
Committee.
Traffic Conditions Talked.
Consideration of traffic conditions
on Maryland avenue was also reviewed.
At the request of the association signs
were placed at Stanton Park and the
avenue warning trucks not TO use that
street. Members complained these
were not needed, however, and re-
quested larger ones placed there. Mrs.
Bartle told the association the Traffic
Department had promised these some
time this week. A. H. Gregory said he
would visit Traffic Director william A.
Van DuZer to request compliance.

for arrangements and the entertainment Of
the visitors.
The largest spectator grandStands were erected
on either side Of the royal court, from Fifteenth
to Seventeenth street. while accommodations
for additional thousands were prov ldcd along
the line of march. Proceeds from tickets u
the stands will go to help defray the cost OF
entertaining the visitors.
The Utilities Committee, with Maj, Otto EnS!e-
man as chairman had the task of planning
transportation for the visiting thousands. Aided
by numerous subcommittee, Maj. Engienan
arranged for the reroutlng OF buSSeS and street
cars and the placing of taXicab stands at the
most convenient places. Every district III which
the ShrinerS were quartered was afforded
special service at the hours when the visitors
were moving either to or from the downtown
district.
Up until few days before the convention,
Mai. Ernest W. Brown. superintendent OF po-
lice: William A. Van Duzer, director Of traffic.
and Inspector Benjamin A Lamb OF the Irathc
Bureau were working out final details OF city
wide traffic plan to go into effect during tne
parades and pageantS.
The local force was augmented by visiting
details of police from New York. Philadelphia.
Baltimore and Richmond, including both loot
and motor cycle officers, at least 300 IN all.
Every effort was made to cause as little incon-
venence as possible from parking restrictions
and the stoppage of traffic across Pennsylvania
avenue during the paradeS. Special, schedules
we're worked out on every thoroughfare to aug
ment the flow Of traffic.
Under the leadership of Edward Anderson.
an automobile parking committee made a sur
vey OF all available vacant lots, with a view
to taking over much space possible dur

and private homes offering accommodations
to visitors compiled by the Greater National
Capital Committee, was turned over to Shrine
headquarters here many weeks before the first
visitor arrived. Shriners who planned to at
tend the convention were asked TO communicate
their requirements early possible Thus
accommodations were booked and arrangements
made to care for the overflow in Pullman cars
parked on desirable sidings.
More than 1000 sleeping cars were used dur

and housing.
The men who planned this giant reception
for the visiting Shrners still bore in mind the
lessons learned at the great conclave here in
1928. They knew what they wanted, how to
get it at the least cost of time and money, and
they had definite goal-to SurpasS Washing
tons previous showing.
The lighting and decorations along the parade
route on Pennsylvania avenue strkngly illus
trate the scope of the preparations in this and
other fields. The Oriental motif was carried
out from Union Station Plaza to Seventeenth
street, with amber lights and vari-colored flags.
Shriners emerging from busy Union Station
saw a plaza before them futtering with gay
flags by day, alive with lights by night. Two
American and two Shrine flags foated from
every lamp post about the station and plaza.
AS they moved further downtown to Fourth
street and Pennsylvania avenue, where the
parade route began, they saw lamp posts on
either hand decorated with coconut palm fiber
and fronds to resemble Fall palms. Each of
hundreds of these bizarre palms bore an
American and Shrine flag.
From Fourth street the parade route was
hne of golden glow light streamers waving
flags and palm fronds. Telephone poles espe-
cially erected along the Avenue bore the stream
ers overhead. In the center of each hung sus-
pended a Shrine emblem outlined In scores of
lights.
The streamers glowed with the Shrine colors-
red. yellow and green electric lights. These
decorations along the ceremonial way reached
q grand climax at Fifteenth street from which
the Royal Court extended to Seventeenth street
between elaborate rooted stands for spectators
On either sidewalk.
"A r LEAST 10000 extra lights lit the ap-
proach to the Royal Court, while the
court itself boasted O,OOO more in its length
Of two blocks. Fiftyfoot columns bore lights
and streamers, rising amid Oriental decorations
Of heroic size-camels, the Egyptian Sphynx, etc.
Gay awnings in Egyptian coors and huge
Oriental fans, like peacock tails, lent color to
the scene. The fans. six feet in diameter, were
mounted on high poles and bore 100 lights
each.
Care taken to have the decorations
appear to advantage both by day and night.
