RICHMAN ENDS
N. Y.HOPWITH
NEAR BRAWL

NEW YORK Sept. 22.-Into
an atmosphere anything but
peaceful, the giant monoplane
Lady Peace" brought Harry Rich
man and Dick Merrill from Har
Dor Grace to Floyd Bennett Field
yesterday to q welcome which
this afternoon to a welcome which
included fiSticuffs, special police
escorts and alluring Hollywood
beauties.
Richman. Broadway and Holly
wood crooner. and Merrill. vet
eran air mail pilot, stepped from
their round-trip North Atlantic
plane to the cheers of Showgirls
drought from the nightclub
where Richman is soon to begin
an engagement.
Hard Words Exchanged
But Richman was not in the
best Of hunor. He had barely
placed foot on solid earth when
he demanded:
where's that bIahkety-blank
SO-and-sO Of . reporter who
wrote those stOries?"
He referred to a newspaper re-
port that he and Merrill had
fought bitterly over who was in
command Of their flight.
The reporter stepped forward
and replied:
Don't call me q blankety-
blank, you blankety blank"
Brawl Starts
Whereupon Lou Richman, Har
rvs brother, let loose with punch
(Which missed, as Harry stood by
(but made no effort to tangle into
the brawD shouting:
LET me at him. Let me at
HIM"
Thus ended the first round-trir
North Atlantic crossing from
North America to Great Britain
and return.
The battle was not permitted tt
rage to the blood-shedding stage
However, as the fliers' police eS
cort, press agents, newSpapermer
and others interviewed and the
transatlantic duo lined up for pho
tographS and prepared for what
had all the earmarkS of a eau
tiously prepared interview, Harry
was asked, then:
"HOw about it, did you and
Merrill have this reported argu-
ment?'
Promises to Tell"
Harry replied:
There was no trouble be-
tween us. 1 will tell the story in
my own time over my own sig
nature
The reporters turned to Merrill
and asked him What about it,?
but his only reply was:
I'D like to tell you about it
but can't"
Then a joint statement was is
sued to certify the harmony exist
ing between them.
It included:
eve have flown, and worked
and Iived-tOgether. When we
got into that bog in NewfOund-
land, we did not have time to ar
cue. We were too busy, working
together, trying to get the plane
out of the mud and fly back
here. We worked and flew and
lived like brothers"

 Yes, Sir, Mir Marshal, cooks a delicious bird" smiled .he amiable Archie
 You'll probably get chance Sunday countered the Marshal, and if it isn't a good job out you go into the cruel world
 "Just show me that turkey, MT. Marshall was the smiling reply.

"The increase in the number Of
deaths and accidents on the highways
of Maryland is becoming of more and
more vital concern to all agencies en-.
gagged in the task of promoting means
of safeguarding the lives and safety
of the public. Many other agencies
have done splendid work in this field;
there is, nevertheless, much more to
be done on this important problem
A Red Cross representative who has
been working in the state for the past
three weeks, reports that Maryland
chapters are speeding preparations
for their part in the nationwide war
against preventable accidents. Al
ready nine Red Cross first aid sta
lions have been established in Mary
land. Eight of these are located in
Prince Georges County and one in
Garrett County at Oakland. Latest
reports place the number of stations
in operation all over the country at
24O, with LAO others in various
stages of planning.
Within the next year it is expected
that practically every chapter in the
state will have established stations at
dangerous highway intersections and
at other points where traffic hazards
exist. These stations will be located
in gasoline filling stations, wayside
stores, suburban police and fire sta
tions, tourist camps and similar es-
adjustments.
In each instance it will be necessary
for at least two employees at these
places to take the standard 15-hour
course in Red Cross first aid before
the station may be accredited. All
stations must be equipped with "a
unit first aid kits. They will be iden-
titled by Red Cross first aid signs.
placed at the edge of the highway
in front of each station.
In addition to the highway program,
Maryland chapters are planning ac-
tive participation in the home and
farm accident prevention activities OF
the American Red Cross. Through
educational campaigns in the press,
in schools and in community organiza-
tions, Red Cross workers will endeav-
or to impress on the public mind the
seriousness of home and farm acct
dents, which last year took toll Of
$4,000 lives and injured over million
persons.
Throughout the United States, e.
3O4 communities have appointed COM
mittees to carry out this phase of the
progam.

HEALTH DEPT.
TURNS ATTENTION
TO CROWN-UPS

Wishing all Marylanders health and
happiness in the New Year, DR.. R. H.
Riley, Director of the State Depart
ment of Health, turned his attention
especially to grown-ups Of middle
age and the years beyond that period.
His advice to these groups Is:
"Check up on your health assets and
liabilities, just as you would on your
financial resources. If you have not
had a complete physical examination
within the past twelve months, go to
your doctor for a thorough going over.
If his verdict is that your physical
liabilities are greater than your as
sets, get his advice as to the best
ways of strengthening and conserving
what you have. Then adjust your ex-
penditure of your physical resources
in accordance with his instructins. 1t
you don't wait too long, he will prob
ably be able to show you how you
can cut down your accumulation OF
destructive liabilities, and help you to
establish a good working balance of
health.
"a glance at the records of the
State Department of Health will show
that over half of the deaths that oc-
cur in the State each year are due to
what are known as the degenerative
diseases of middle life and of the old
er age groups--heart diseases, diseases
of the kidneys, cancer, cerebral hem
morrhage, diabetes and diseases OF
the arteries. There were nearly 21,-
900 deaths from all causes, reported
in the State in 1884, and these six
diseases were responsible for 1851
or nearly 55 per cent of the total. The
percentage has been gradually in
creasing from year to year.
NEARLY all of these diseases have
slow beginnings. The majority are
recognizable in the early stages. In
most instances, early recognition,
prompt treatment and readjustment
of activities under the direction of the
family physician will do much to
check the advances of the disease, to
prevent suffering, prolong life and
usefulness.
young mothers have learned that
regular supervision of the well baby
by the family doctor is the best way
to keep the baby in good health and
to ward off preventable illnesses. The
medical examination of young children
in preparation for their admission to
school and the periodical medical in
spections of school children are con-
limitations of the same plan. The aim
is to discover conditions that need at
tention, so that they may be cor
ected before they become destructive
liabilities. The children accept these
inspections as matter of course.
The grown-ups are slower in forming
the habit.
eff you haven't had your physical
resources checked up recently, put that
down on your calendar as the first
item of personal business to be attend
ed to in the New Year."

BOMB INCIDENT MOST PECULIAR; ARNING GIVEN
State Department Keeping Neutral in Present
 Spanish Strife
By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. - Three mes a Span sn plane swooped over the United States destroyer Kane, dropping bombs The Zane whipped the covers off an anti-aircraft gun, and fired nine rounds after the plane, spinning the shells at the craft as it approached, and after it left.
 Reporting the incident, the State Department said officers on the Kane did not identify the plane, so warnings were sent both to the Madrid government and the reb7 els telling them to keep their bomb CTS away from American ships
 It was scarcely to be wondered that rumors rippled about Wash ington that the State Department knew exactly which side owned the plane that dropped bombs on the Kane.
