BOY REF USED
BY HIS FATHER

YONKERS, N. Y Aug. 10. U,R)-
Defying society, Anthony Spiak,
WidoWer, father of nine, today
guarded his son, IA, against an OPP
Grafton to restore use of his legs.
The boy, Henry, was twisted by
infantile paralysis at 5. He gets
about only in a hand propelled We
locipede. Surgeons assert that
without imperiling his life they can
enable him to walk, even play.
His father, carpet weaver, flat
ly refused permission, fearful lest
his son be killed. Judge George
w. Smyth of Westchester county
children's court held in allegiance
his authority to order performance
of the operation without parental
consent. Henry's brothers and sis
ters were strongly behind their ia
ther. Henry himself said, II don't
care. but father knows best"
II am going to be patient" the
judge said. Il believe the father
eventually can be persuaded, which
would be preferable to bringing
pressure"
Judge Smyth was expected to use
his authority in this case as he did
two years ago when the parents Of
Helen Vasko, 2, refused to let sci
ence interfere with Gods will"
Helen had a dangerous eye tumor
Despite defiant parents, her eye
was removed, a glass eye given her,
and today she is we'll.

HORSE STARS
IN NEW FILM

When Director Victor Fleming
exclaimed "One of the best actors
have ever seenl" during produc-
tion of Fox Films THE Farmer
Takes a Wife" coming tomorrow to
the United Artists theatre, he was
talking about a horse!
Hampshire" one of the huge
Percherons who make their APP
pearance in the film, was the steed
who drew the critical ecomiums
from this usually not too easily
pleased director.
In this picture, which deals with
romance and adventure along the
Erie canal waterways in the 1850s,
Hampshire" is employed as a can
al horse.
During the scenes in which he
appears, "Hampshire's" movements
had to be carefully timed to the
camera. The fact that he went
through two rehearsals and a take
without a mistake explained Direc-
tor Fleming's enthusiasm.
Although he is the grand cham
pion of several horse shows,
Hampshire" is no pampered per-
forming animal. Off screen, he is
usually pulling a pillow or the start
ing gate at the local horse races.
"The Farmer Takes a Wife"
which was adapted from the hit
play of the recent Broadway sea-
son, stars Janet Gaynor and Henry
Fonda in the leading romantic
roles.

CHLORIDE LOSS
EXPLAINS HEAT
FELT BY BODY

DALLAS, Texas, Aug. 10. UP
If you can't stand the hot weather
and the only thing in the world
that seems worthwhile is a long
nap in cool, shady spot, then prob
ably you are that way because you
are short on chlorides, according to
DIR. J. Shirley Sweeney, former
chairman of the Dallas Pubic
Health Advisory board.
when, these hot days, you feel
that you would rather miss a $l0,-
900 deal than take your feet Off the
desk, it is just natures way OF
warning you that your cooling ap-
paratus is not properly adjusted
and over-exercise and excitement
will be dangerous" DR.. Sweeney
said.
Chlorides, the doctor said, are
essential for the proper function
of the blood stream and are grad
ually exhausted through the skin
by excessive perspiration.
Some relief from the loss OF
chloride can be obtained by drink
ing salt in solution in orange juice,
water or in some other fashion, ac-
cording to DR.. Sweeney. Salt acts
as a pickup" and is far better
for you than sugar in warm wealth
er.
Beyond all doubt" DIR. Swee-
ney said, "if you are susceptible To
heat, the thing to do is keep your
feet on your desk, dream of trout
streams and not upset yourself by
forced and sporadic efforts"

PACIFIC ISLES
IMPORTANT AS
A|RWAY STOPS
BY ED MORGAN
United Press Staff Correspondent


HONOLULU, Aug. 10. U.P) - The
completion of far flung American
owned islands in the mid-Pacific is
changing today, hastened by two
distinct influences: trans-oceanic
aviation and national defense.
Midway, Wake, Guam, French
Frigate Shoals, and other tufts of
land sprinkled between Hawaii and
the Orient which once were of
doubtful value have found new and
important use as emergency air
bases for commercial travel and as
potential fortified outposts in
event of war.
Association of tranSoceanic air
travel and national defense is par
adoXical. The first envisages more
closely knit international relations
through new aerial routes from ma
ton to nation. The second carries
the reality of preparedness against
international conflict.
Both will work amazing changes
on these desolated islands. Already
Pan-American Airways settlements
are thriving on Midway, Wake and
Guam.
Midway. once a lonely cable sta
ton, now has the nucleus of min
iature city. Never before has Wake
been inhabited for any period of
time. The Pan-American base
will be permanent. Men are land
scaping the dunes and nursing
shrubs and trees to make the spot
more picturesque for Clipper plane
travellers enroute to Manila and
Canton, China.
tt is no secret that the navy has
surveyed these islands in detail to
measure their capacity for fortifi-
cations and emergency landing
areas for fighting planes.

wages of insured employees. After
three years it is planned to arrange
contributions of employers from
l IL per cent to ; IL per cent of
total pay rolls.
If adopted the insurance plan
would be administered by the state
department Of labor. The bill pro-
vides for investigation of individual
cases and sets out that its machinery
shall automatically be changed to
conform to any federal legislation
on unemployment enacted by Con-
gress.
The report contains results of ex-
haustive studies Of unemployment
conditions in North Carolina and
estimates the number of competent
unemployed in this state at between
10000 and 100000 persons at the
present time. The survey runs
from 1920 to 1884 and sets forth
a number of causes of unemployment
and the opinion of the commission
that the problems of idleness re-
main even when prosperity re-
turns"
Industrial unemployment reached
a peak of about u per cent in 1892
and had receded to about 9 pei
cent in 1884, the commission
found.
1t states that the burden of un-
employment has been borne in tbs
past by the doctor, dentist, the
corner grocer" and 'social-mind-
ed employers" who have done much
to mitigate the severity of the sit
uation."

the 29,191 new passenger cars sold
in 1888, and the 6,597 trucks sold
last year. The 1866 more sales

Liquor Law Is
Drafted For NC

Raleigh.-A liquor bill to liberia
lie the burlington act and provide
for the legal sale of whiskey in
North Carolina has been drafted
by a member of the General As
sembly who has been a lifelong dry
and will be introduced in the next
few weeks, it was learned.
The proponent of the measure re-
quested that his name not be used
until the bill is actually introduced.
The proposed bill is coma~m
every detail, eoass@g - sections,
it was learned. NJ estimate of the
amount of revenue to be raised I'M
der the measure has been made,
but the state would get i tax Of 10
per cent on the sale price of the
liquor and all Of the profits.
The measure would set up i sys-
ten * s<af<
selected BY the state Board winch
will administer the act.
A certain percentage of the quail
fed voters of any municipality
would be allowed to outlaw loca-
ton of a liquor store there. IF the
liquor store is established, those
citizens objecting may call a spe-
cal election on store or no store"
the proponent of the measure stated.
Liquor would be solo only in
packages, one quart at a time, for
consumption off the premises. The
measure would not remove the Tur-
Ilington act from the books, it was
explained, but would put legal
whiskey in the reach of all North
Carolinians who have the price.
The system of stores would be
similar to the system in Virginia.
