received similar award in 1929. when
the National Institute of Social Sci

at which John D. Rockefeller, jr..
also was honored.
She lives alone in an East Side
tenement room, sleeps in the daytime
and stalks the city's slums and stews
at night, saving girls. She has
snatched hundreds of them from the
vice lords, sent 10 the hospital many
times in these encounters. She lives

came to New York from her native

She was Mortified by her first sight

has dragged from the pit.
She says she isn't very religious.
She is disillusioned about social up

what we've been doing.
The middle classes have probably
taken the biggest loss in their history.
The big boys got out early. for cash.
The small investors stayed in, because

went in because there is nowhere that
they can get a creditable return on
their savings, and because they were

The stock market became their
savings bank, and now it has had a

billion-dollar loss-more if you count
in the Junior railroad bonds that have
gone down so per cent, involving in
dustrial investments of banks.
The Government was protecting us
against the panic Of 1929, just as
our anti-war legislators are protecting
up against recurrence of the World
War of 1914 The New Deal was
hedging against the new era. But
the new era is dead. the World War

past and ignorant in terms Of the
future. To admit it is the beginning

Flies Pursue Party.

Swarms of flies recently attacked
four Europeans near Tulbagh. South
Africa, and caused them to flee In an
automobile. One woman was so
severely stung about the legs that
blood flowed freely, and the others
we're covered with stings. The flies
are known as "blinde Vice." or blind
stingers. The party had parked their
car and were picking flowers when
thousands of the insects appeared.
The men and women fed. but we're
pursued and stung fercely at every
step. The flies followed their victims
into the car and only by suddenly
speeding up were the pursued able TO
escape.

DEMURRER HEARD
 IN $lO,OOO SUIT
Decision in Action Against Ain1el Bruneau Is Re-
 served One Week

Judge Kenneth Wynne in superior court today heard the demurrer of the defendant in the $10,000 civil action of Calvin Watts, administra- tor of the estate of Harry B. Watts, against Aimel Bruneau, and re- served decision for one week, during which counsel will file claims of law.
 Attorney J. Gregory Lynch, coun- sel for the defendant claims the plaintiff has no action under civil law, and that the suit should be dropped. The main question is whether the civil damages act may be construed as a penal statute. Att torney Walter Torrance, counsel for the plaintiff, claimed that the suit should not be dropped, as it came within the proper legal statutes. Watts is the brother of. Harry Watts, who was killed in 8 fight at Bruneau's tavern, February 28, in a fight with Harold Cider" Maxwell, now serving 2to 6 years III state prison on 8 manslaughter charge. Bruneau is held responsible for sell- ing liquor to Maxwell while the lat- ter was intoxicated. The liquor sta- tutes hold that any man selling liquor to another while the latter is intoxicated is liable for any damages.

O'LEARY DENIES
 ATTENDING FETE

Contrary to published reports, Deputy Sheriff James OLeary this morning emphatically denied he was in attendance at the dinner for Senator George Culhane in the Rhythm Room of the Hotel Elton Wednesday evening. The dinner was featured by Senator Culhane'S talk in which he said he would be glad to run for mayor.
 The Democrats reporter saw MT. OIeary in the hotel lobby previous to the banquet and naturally thought he was there to attend the banquet. It was only natural mis- take, in view of the fact that so many people were churning around at the time.

The strategy of the organization drive will be, Egan said, that the Connecticut Federation will assure workers 1t will be able better to rep resent them than the c. I.

 "Well show them how the A. F. of L. is superior" he said, "and how we'll be able to handle their problems better"
 Meantime, Egan prepared his drive to organize about 17,000 Hart ford insurance workers and count less thousands of clerks in depart ment stores, grocery stores and merchantile establishments-"every- where"
 He couldn't say whether any strikes would develop as result of the drive.

 Truth remains the same. Know ledge constantly advances. The earliest English encyclopedia now published was originally compiled in 1768. Others are of more recent origin, but surprisingly small por- tion of information compiled in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries is of value to the man of today.
 Since the world war a new world has arisen with new countries, new men, new ideas and new problems Many things formerly accepted as facts, have proven to be untrue. A vast quantity of material which was significant and important in the nineteenth century and first dec ades of the twentieth century has no value to the thinking man ol today.
 All these things have been taken care of in this new encyclopedia which the Democrat is offering at

OF EPIDEM|CS

UPPER MARLBORO, Md,
April 30.-Sharp warnings of a
possible epidemic of typhoid fever
and dysentery in the area of
Prince Georges county bordering
on the District Line as a result of
the flooding of the Northwest
Branch of the Anacostia River
early this week have been posted
throughout the area by DR.. A. B.
Hooton, county health officer.
DR.. Hooton stated yesterday
that the waters that inundated
Bladensburg, Colmar Manor,
North Brentwood and EdmonSton
were highly polluted and that al
though there have been no cases
of disease in those sections since
the flood, illness may be expected
to, break out at any time unless
extreme caution is exercised in
the cleaning up of the homes and
the disposing of rubbish.
Persons in the section were ad-
vised by DR.. Hooton to apply i'm
mediately for inoculations against
typhoid fever, discard all food ef-
fected by the flood waters, keep
children from wading in the areas
still covered by standing water
and thoroughly clense floors and
walls of flooded homes with a
strong disinfectant.

Rescuers Nearly

LEADVILLE, Colo. G.N.S0 i.
Five men who carried Eugene Col
man, 36, mortally injured from a
mine into which he had fallen
learned later that they had es-
capped death by hairs breadth.
Colman was lighting the fuse on
q dynamite charge when he fell
down an ore chute. The fuse
missed fire, however, and the blast
did not occur. Had it done so,
the rescuers would have been
buried beneath tons of rock.
The injured man, a carloader
in the Climax Molydenurn Mine
at Climax, Colo, died an hour
and a half after he was brought
to the surface.
