"At harvest time the farmer
can simply fold up the blankets

Within two years, DR.. Hale pre-
dicted, the whole farm picture
will be changed. Instead Of look
ing with dismay upon his frost
bitten orchards, or scorched fields
the farmer will blanket his fields
in the spring, dress his trees in
the skirts and blouses and laugh
at the elements.
Will Cover Trees
Orchard trees will be covered
from uppermost leaves to the
ground with what will appear
to be gigantic, transparent
umbrellas, made from cotton and
wood pulp.
The blankets and umbrellas
will be perforated to give access
to air, rain and polinating bees.
yet they will keep out moths.
Upon threat of a frost, the farmer
can spray the covering with a
specially prepared substance and
film over the perforations, to
make the temperature under the
coverings five to 20 degrees higher
than outside. He explained:
"Our principal problem was
to find something that would
let the suns rays through but
would not dissolve in the heat
and sunshine. It took years to
develop what we wanted, but
now we have it,

Hadley visited the hospital, but
was refused permission to see
Cochrane. DR.. Walsh told the
Yankee pitcher he would call him
as soon as Cochrane is able to re-
ceive visitors.
His face showing the strain,
Hadley said he would return to the
hospital tonight. He said earn
estly:
mo one can tell how those
things happen. I meant to lay
the ball right down the middle,
but it took q sudden jump. There
may have been an imperfectiOn
on the ball which gave it I'M
usual resistance. It was what
we call a 'SaiIer.'"
The doctors told Cochrane's
blond wife, Mary, that it would
be four or five days before they
could be definitely sure that no
complications would develop.
Mrs. Cochrane raced here from
her Detroit home by plane, ar
irving at 2 q. m. AS she entered
his room, Cochrane opened his
eyes and asked why she was there.
Wife Baseball Fan
She asked:
els there anything 1 can do
for your"
eyes," the injured manager
TESTED, get me a new head"
Mrs. Cochrane said she felt
terribly sorry for Hadley, adding:
Il can imagine how he feels
about this"
She was given a hospital room
adjacent to her husbands.
Although the attending sur
geons' bulletin made no mention
of the fact, Mrs. Cochrane dis
closed that there were three
distinct fractures Of her husbands
skull.
She was attending ball game
yesterday when her husband was
injured. She diclosed:
81 was watching my 12-year-
old son, Gordon, jr., play out
field for the Detroit country
day school. l was on my way
home from that game when !
saw a headline that Mickey had
been hurt"
Mind Still on Game
The first question Cochrane
asked physicians when he re-
gained consciousness was:
"WhO won the gamer"
They insisted they did not know
the score, which was 4 to 3 in
favor of the YankS. Cochrane told
doctors:
81 lost sight of the ball when
It was three feet from me-"
Cochrane's injury brought back
memories of Ray Chapman, Cleve-
land Indians Shortstop who was
"beaned" by Pitcher Carl Mays
of the Yankees II years ago. Chap
man died overnight.
Fast Ball Inside
Cochrane was laid low by a
high, fast ball on the inside In
the fifth inning, with the count
three and two at the Yankee
Stadium yesterday. He tried to
get away, but appeared to dodge
into the ball. His injury not only
may mean the end Of the career
of the Tigers player-manager. but
will seriously affect their pennant
chances.
Always an inspirational leader,
Cochrane piloted the Tigers to
American League pennants in 1884
and 1885. winning the World
Series from the Chicago Cubs
the latter year and his accident
climaXed a series of bad breaks
that have come to the Detroit
club during the last 18 months.

because, first, Hank Greenberg:
then Cochrane and finally Gen

were lost to the club through in

VOTE. TO EXTEND
CIVIL SERVICE

All Social Security Board en-
ployes whose annual salaries are
$1,000 or more, except officials ap-
pointed by the President, would be
blanketed under civil service,
through action taken by the
House Of Representatives yester-
day.
The House further provided
that in future all appointments to
the Social Security Board shall be
through regular Civil Service chan
nels.

vision in the bill directing that all
Social Security Board employees,
whose annual salaries are $4,000
or. more, should be appointed by
the President and confirmed by
the Senate. At present, all except
policy-making positions, are in a
class above 5000 and are ap-
pointed by the S. s. B. heads with
out regard to Civil Service.
The House today declined to ap-
prove the Senate provision, amend
ing it to place the higher salaried
worker under Civil Service. ..-
The proposition must be re-
turned to the Senate for its action.

LYNCHING Bill
UP IN HOUSE

In a stormy session marked by
bitter personal attacks, the House
yesterday agreed by a vote Of
281-1Os to debate the Gavagan
bill, which would make lynching
a Federal offense. Opponents of
the bill branded it a rape Of
Justice
The measure would empower
the Federal Government to i'm.
pose a $4,000 fine on communi-
ties refusing to prosecute leaders
Of a lynch mob. It also would
enable the Government to punish
individuals found guilty Of partici-
patton in the mob.
The House last week defeated
a similar but less drastic measure
introduced by Representative Nit
chell Cd, of Illinois. only Negro
member Of Congress.
Debate on the antilynching
proposal will begin today.

dated for minimum amount OF
money.
The growth of the idea has
been sure and steady. Starting
in 1887, when Mrs. Wilkinson and
IL other social-minded Washing
tonians incorporated the home
with no endowment save their de-
votion to the project, it has con-
stantly received ever enlarging en-
dowmentS. The first large gift
was received in 1892, when Miss
Bessie Kibbey donated her pala-
tial mansion at 311 c st. N. w.
Shortly thereafter, the home
was named as the legatee of Mrs.
Sophia Rhodes in the event that
she should survive her son. Both
lost their lives while returning
from Europe on the Inflated Elbe,
and trustees Of the home received
about $4,000.
For number Of years the home
received a congressional appropria-
ton of $1,000 annually. This was
discontinued in 1905 as the trus-
tees felt that the work was well
established and could be carried
on without further Federal as
SiStance.
Through the years constant i'm
provements and additions were
made until 1881, when the District
government took over the property
to become part Of the municipal
center. During that year, while
plans were being made for a new
building, Mrs. Flora Markward
Thompson, a deeply interested
life member, died, leaving a bequest
of $25O,OOO to found a memorial
to her husband and mother
known as the Thompson-M Mark
ward Memorial.
This memorial is the building
which now houses 100 young
women.

URGES SAVING
CHERRY TREES

Terming the Japanese cherry
trees "Washington's number one
tourist attraction" Russell z.
Singer, general manager of the
American Automobile Association,
today branded as objectionable
and unWarranted vandalism" the
proposal to remove some Of the
trees surrounding the Tidal Basin
to make way for the Thomas JET
ferSon memorial.
Mr.. Singer said:
The tremendous crowds that
poured into Washington over
the weekend prove beyond ques-
ton that the popularity Of the
cherry trees is growing from
year to year. Today they are
one Of the outstanding touring
detectives in the nation.
"NO structure will ever at
tract the interest that is aroused
by the cherry blossoms. From
every State in the union come
the hundreds of thousands Of
tourists drawn by the fame Of
these graceful trees. The rev.
enue derived from these visitors
is tremendous and the dollar.
and-cents consideration alone
should be sufficient to defeat
the proposal to demOlish half
or more of the cherry trees.
Certainly it should be pos
sibIe to erect a fitting memorial
to jefferson without cutting
down the cherry trees and max
ing a wasteIand Of WaShingtOn'S
most beautiful section"

Two live oak trees dedicated to
Phoebe Apperson Hearst and Alice
Mcclellan Birney, founders Of the

ment, were planted Sunday on the
campus of Savannah's new mil
Gon-dollar high school.
In presenting the two trees In

versary Of the National PIT. A.,
Mrs. Charles D. Center, State
president Of the PIT. A., said:
81 dedicate these trees to
Alice Mcclellan Birney and
Phoebe AppersOn Hearst, and 1
hope their steady growth will be
an inspiration to the students to
build character as they them
selves grow in knowledge. Sure
ly no other two women in the
world have done SO much for
the welfare Of children as Mrs.
Birney and Mrs. Hearst"
Accepting the trees, w. G. SUIT
live, vice president Of the Chatham
County Board Of Education, said:
"It is q matter Of deep con-
Germ to this community to know
that this day we have the ma
tional and State organizations
to take part in dedicatfng trees
to such pioneers as Alice McLel-
Ian Birney and Phoebe AppersOn,

In a tribute to the two women,
Mrs. Fred Raymond, Of Grand

Day chairman, told why the oak
is symbolic Of parent-teacher
work.
She said: -
"As the roots Of these two
trees dig deeper into the soil,
they represent the PIT. A. move
ment. The trunk is the nation
al body; the twigs the local
units, and the leaves the mem
berShip."
Mrs. Raymond Tuesday will
