"The staff of the Inaugural
Committee and 1 will, of course,
be more than glad to assist you

mentS have already been made
for the assignment Of military
aides to the governors during
the time they are in Washing

contemplate placing three cars
at each governors disposal.
May we have your acceptance
at Once?"
Faced with the tedious problem
of finding accommodations for
the thousands of visitors expected
here for the Inauguration cere'
mony January 20, Rear Admiral
Cary T. Grayson, general chair
man of the Roosevelt-Garner in
augural committee, has announced
the appointment of Roy Miller, OF

committee, which will list ali
quarters in the city.
The committee has established
headquarters in the willard Hotel.

DINNERS OFF
AFTER GARNER
PROPOSAL

High tide in social amenities was
reached today when President
Roosevelt and Vice President
Garner completed the arrange.
ments entered into yesterday
afternoon to cancel the dinners
that each official was to have
given to the other. There will,
therefore, be no White House din
ner to the Vice President and
Mrs. Garner; no Vice Presidents
dinner to the President and Mrs.
Roosevelt.
The reason for this sudden
change in the seasons social
calendar is that Vice President
Garner called up the President
and said something like this:
"Mr. President, l have been
looking over that social schedule
of yours; 1 know what you're
up againSt-yOu don't have
time to breathe from January
2 to February 9-nOw let me
make a dicker with you. I'll
call off my dinner that l give
to you as q matter Of custom
:. hOw's that"
It knocked the President over,
figuratively speaking; but he and
Mrs. Roosevelt Immediately ae-
QuieSced . This winters social
season at the White House is con-
centrated in a little more than a
months constant receptions, din
ners and social events, including
the diplomatic, congressional, de-
partmental and judicial recep-
tions, starting January 2 and
ending February 9 with the in.
tense social and official activi-
ties around January 20, which
is the inaugural date, in addi-
ton to the opening of Congress
and the work that entails.
That offer of Vice President
Garner left the schedule with a
dinner of the President to the
Vice President. Not long after
the Vice Presidents party was
wiped off the slate (although no
date had ever been set for it,,
the President said he would
square things with Vice President
Garner by canceling the presi,
Dental dinner to the Vice Presi,
denton the ground that the
Vice President never liked to sit
UP late and the President should
not sit up late. That presidential
dinner to the Garners was sched.
uled for January 7. Now that
date is open and the White
House expresses its official
thanks.

Warren and Pearl to the door and
tried to reach Betty Ann and
Harold. Her burned face showed
how hard she had tried to get
past that fire ravaged door. She
sobbed:
81 couldn't get to them. The
flames were licking the door
way. I understand my baby is
in an oxygen tent. Is he going
to die?"
A child's cry came from the
ward nearby and Mrs. Jarman
struggled to get up.
That's my Betty Anne!"
A nurse assured her it was the
little girl in the middle bed, who
had cried out and that Betty
Anne was asleep.
The 26-year-old widow said she
had been on the relief since her
husband died. Burdened with the
care of four small children she
had been unable to leave them to
find work. Her anguish over her
children is heartbreaking.
Firemen Save Two
She told how, screaming for
help, she had dashed to the street
in her nightgown. She had % be
forcibly prevented from going back
into the burning building. Fire
men rescued Betty Anne, badly
burned on the face and arms. and
Harold, who was unconscious from
smoke.
In the children'S ward at Emer-
gency Hospital Betty Anne was
asleep, her small arms and haniS
lying blistered and helpless on the
pillow. The little fingers were
blackened.
Harold lay in an oxygen tent,
breathing painfully, his tiny face
as white as the pillow. He had
not yet recovered consciousness.
The two other children are at the
Receiving Home.
Had Doll Present
The mother, unconsciously pa
thetic, told how she had managed
to get a doll with long curls for
Betty Anne. She said:
pearl wanted a Shirley Tenn.
pie doll, but 1 couldn't afford it.
I had some toys for Harold and
Warren. I suppose they're all
burned up. And eve :ything else
is burned, too"
Then she started sohbing.

mined. The patient" is usually
allowed to go about his work as
usual.
How it works is a matter of
some debate at present. One the
DRY is that the improvement in
weight is simply the result of the
increased appetite, and hence an
increased food intake. The other
suggests that malnutrition is es-
sentially a state Of increased Sc
erection of the adrenal glands with
increased adrenalin in the blood,
and that insulin is physiological
antagonist of adrenalin: hence it's
introduction into the body restores
the body cells to normal balance
and optimum weight results.
That it works there seems to be
no doubt. The technique has been
standardized and most physicians
have learned to administer it. The
weight gain is steady, amounting
to about two and one-half pounds
a week. Since this is in ambula-
tory patients at full activity, it
must be regarded as very good.
