SECOND DEAD
IN POISON PACT

Death today claimed the second
victim of suicide pact.
William j. Glatzell, Baltimore
salesman and former Washington
resident, died in Gallinger Hospi'
tai from the effects of a poison
draught, after doctors believed he
would recover. His wife died early
yesterday.
Despondent over the loss of a
good position and financial re-
verses, Glatzell and his wife came
to Washington Wednesday and
registered at a down town hotel.
That night they mixed the poi
son draught and drank it simul-
taneously, determined to die to-
gether. Early yesterday Glatzell
called the night clerk, telling his
wife was dead.
An ambulance was called and
he was taken to Emergency Hos
pital and later transferred to Gal.

full process of skin grating, were
healed by application Of the aloe.
Came a long period of study,
Of research, Of practical expert
mentation. And in every case he
found that the aloe would heal.
This work Of experimentation
and research is not yet over. There
is much still to be learned, DR..
Collins admitted.
He knows there Is a definite
theraputic value in the fresh leaf
"gel," q gelatin-like substance
found when the leaf is cut at a
certain point of its growth.
But, he admits freely, existing
knowledge as to the mode OF &C
ton of the gel" and the exact
chemical nature of the substance
fractions is not complete. So the
work goes on, with the one hope
that this work will bring definite
benefit to suffering humanity.
Once he was convinced OF the
value of the discovery, DR.. Collins
next step was to assure an ade-
quate supply Of the plant, so that
the good could be extended.
The plant resembles the cactus
Of the southwest, with the leaves
growing to q height Of feet. While
it grows wild in the everglades,
the supply is limited.
Start Plantation
Then DR.. Collins and his son
started to grow the plant, and have
met with success. It takes three
years for a plant to mature, so q
plantation has been set out and
an adequate supply of the precious
leaves is now assured.
DR.. Collins reported his find
in a paper read before the radio
logical section of the Maryland
Medical Society, and it aroused
much interest.
Other doctors throughout the
country, including nationally
known figures in the world of K.
ray and radium specialists, asked
for information and for the ex.
tract of the leaves.
Interested in bringing relief to
as many as possible, DR.. Collins
gladly complied with these re-
quests, and he has hundreds Of
letters from doctors who have
found the same results he did.
DR.. Fred Wise, of New York,
one of the greatest skin specialists
in the country, has used the aloe.

ened today as Federal conciliators,
union representatives and COM
pany officials began their second
day of negotiations to end the
"sit down" strike at the Bendix
plant here. A conferee declared to
day:
"Things have progressed, but
It will take two or three days to
get the matter definitely
settled"
There was confidence that some
thing definite would result from
today's meeting, although it was
indicated union employees demand
for a closed shop and for aban-
donment of the Bendi::: Employees
Association, a company union,
would be side-stepped for a de-
mand for some form Of complete
unionization.
Urged to Hold Out
The self-exiled employees within
the company buildings, estimated
at 600 to 1900 in number, were
visited late yesterday by Thomas
j.. Jeffers, president of Bendix
Federal Labor Union No. 9, who
had left earlier with 8 other mem
bers of the union executive COM
mittee to take part in the confer,
ence.
Jeffers spoke briefly, urging the
union members to continue their
exile until some agreement is
reached. His words were greeted
with enthusiastic cheers.
On streets surrounding the plant
hundreds of automobiles were
parked, and friends and relatives
stood outside conversing with the
"sit down" strikers. Food and
clothing and blankets were passed
through the windows, and one en-
terprising South Bend firm pro-
vided supplies of cosmetics for the
imprisoned women.

ton Collins was in Florida and
saw the Indians using the leaves
of the plant to cure fire burns.
Interested, he secured some of
the leaves and brought them to
his father, explaining what he had
seen, what the results were.
This touched a responsive chord
in the life of the busy country
doctor. For healing of X-ray burns
was one Of his greatest problems.

Leaves Of Aloe Vera
Found Remedy for
X-RaY Burns

A quiet country doctor, who has
spent most of his long career in
the routine life of the general
practitioner" has made a medical
discovery which bids fair to place
his name alongside those Of Pas
teur, Roentgen, Curie and the
other immortalS of the field Of
medicine.
For in his laboratory, which Is
part of his home in the little fish
ing community of Crisfield, Md,
in the time he could spare from
the demands of his practice, he
has worked and developed a rem
edy for the intensely painful X-ray
and radium burns.
The doctor is Clarence E. Collins.
approaching his sixtieth birthday,
and a man who for the last third
of century has brought most of
the Crisfield babies into the
world, cared for the injuries Suf-
fered by the fishermen in their
work, and eaSed the last mo-
ments of the aged and dying.
In his work he has been as
sisted by his son, DR.. Creston
Collins, who is following in his
fathers footsteps, and who is
largely responsible for his fathers
great discovery.
DR.. Collins, a typical small
town doctor of the old school,
unassuming, modest, almost to
the point of shyness, makes no
great claims for his discovery.
But doctors and scientists through
out the country do so.
May Relieve Cancer
Some even go so far as to say
that this discovery will go far
toward the relief Of cancer, for
since it soothes radium and X-ray
burns, this means these two
methods of combating cancer
may be further used, where now
they must be stopped because of
the pain from the burns suffered
while the cancer is under treat
ment.
The Collins discovery, which
has stirred American m edical
circles as has nothing in recent
years, while a great step forward,
is really step back toward the
medicine of primitive man.
For the discovery is that use
Of the leaf of the aloe vera plant,
a lily-like tropical growth, in cur
ing of burns, and this was known
to the Indians.
The plant is native to parts of
South Africa, growing luxuriantly
and wild in the Natal country.
Later it was transplanted to the
islands in the Caribbean Sea,
growing successfully there, and
still later was found growing in
Southern Florida.
It was the Seminole Indians,
DR.. Collins explained, who first
discovered that the leaf of the
plant could be used to cure burns.
They discovered the plant grow
ing wild in the everglades. and
some unknown medicine man
made the healing discovery.

Bucky Praised by Many.

THIS contention was shared by
= many, notably a pair of Pacific
Coast League managers who watched
Salveson pitch to a record of 81 VIC
tories as against defeats last season.
Dutch Ruether, the old Washington
southpaw, was one who climbedthe
Salveson bandwagon. Ruether man
aged Seattle last season and watched
the bespectacled young right-hander
''arrive," to use Dutch's own term.
'He can't miss" was Ruether's brief
but adequate recommendation.
Wayne Otto, veteran Chicago Ex-
aniner base ball writer, added:
washington got all the best of the
deal. There is no question of that.
Dykes, however, simply had to have a
left-handed pitcher, and he's always
liked Lee"
The way to look at it, probably, is
10 figure that Washington gave up a
fading veteran, who will be 81 years
old in February and who has been
pitching steadily in the American
League for II years. Whitehill put in
his best year with Washington, which
was 1888. He won % and lost 8 games
that year, but in 1884 he won only IA
and lost II. In 1885 and 1886 he had

Oppose Sandlot Rule.

Oppose Sandlot Rule.
WHEN the commissioner was
w named, in 1921, the minor
leagues were fighting for their ex-
istence, with the majors and their
bulging bank rolls endangering the
little fellows. Then came the farm
systems to change all that and to
paint a far different picture.
Today, estimates Minor League
Commissioner w. G. Bramham, all
but about 10 of the 1876 minor league
clubs are owned by or have working
agreements with major league teams.
Hence, what's good for the majors is
good for the minors. The majors do
not want the sandlot rule, which
forbids a big league representative
from signing up a player before he
has signed a minor league contract.
Lands, who never before lost bat
tie in his near 16 years of czardom,
now has lost three within six days.
At Montreal the minors first accepted,
then unanimously rejected, his pro-
posal to submit full information to
him on any players recommended by
a major to a. minor league club. Yes
terday both the National and Ameris
can Leagues turned down the same
proposal.
