WARNS ABOUT
POISON FOOD

Tne Detroit Department Of Heal
IN issues the following valuable
Information 70 protect the public
against food poisoning:
The occurrence Of a number az
cases OF food poisoning in Detroit
has caused unusual interest and
some worry to many persona in
the city.
There are three kinds Of food
poisoning according 10 DR.. Don W.
Gudakunst Deputy Commissioner
OF the Detroit Department OF Heal
tn. and he classifies them In this
way; First, the poisoning pro-
duced by the addition TO the food
OF such chemicals as arsenic, lead
mercury, cyanide, anthony or
other poisonous substances. The
addition may be intentional or
accidental. Certain preservatives
once commonly used, but now
classed as dulterants, come under
this head, even though the effects
OF the preservatives were not so
violent or sudden as those which
come from the ingestion OF
larger amounts OF the poisons.
Second, the poisoning which
comes from disease producing bac-
terra which may be added by a
human or animal carrier OF the
disease or which come from con-
tact or from utensils or dishes
used by persons having the dis
ease. Typhoid fever, diphtheria.
septic sore throat, scarlet fever.
tuberculosis and syphilis may be
contracted In this manner. A
lapse OF time occurs between ths
ingestion OF the food and illness
produced during which the bac-
terra are incubated In the body.
Pasteurization OF milk and the
examination and instruction of
foodhandlers have reduced poison
inss from this source to mini
mum. The third group OF poison
ings are due to the growth OF bac-
teria In food which has not been
properly handled and not kept at
a low temperature to inhibit the
growth OF germ substances. II is
practically impossible 10 prepare
food without some contamination
with the large number OF bacteria
normally present where human
beings are found. Bacteria will
grow In food without noticeable
decomposition when II IL allowed
TO stand at room temperature or
improperly chilled. The effects
OF such poisoning are likely TO
be violent and sudden and II 10
observed that only those who have
eaten the portion OF the food ex-
posed to bacteria are made sick.
The cases Of food poisoning which
have occurred recently fall into
this group and are the result OF
careless handling OF food"
DR.. Gudskunst warns that the
care OF food in the home 10 Of
great importance IN maintaining
the health OF the family. and he
states that many underlined illness
es may be the result Of csrelsss-
ness on the part OF the housewife
or the cook.

SOWELL DEATH

LANCASTER, S. c., July g.
Officers today were left with few
clues in the search for the slayer
of Policeman B. Frank SOwell,
early Sunday morning, near here.
William Morgan, escaped con-
vict, believed the slayer and
identified at Charlotte by c. II.
Stroupe. whose car was seized af-
ter the officer was slain, was elm
mated as suspect when Sheriff
John A. Martin, of Greenville,
found Morgan on chain gang
near Danielsville, Ga.
Morgan, serving 5 years for
robbery, had escaped, but he and
Danielsville officers told Sheriff
Martin that he was recaptured 20
days ago and was serving time in
Georgia.
Sowell was slain Sunday morn
ing by the unidentified man who
then commandeered the automo-
bile of Stroupe and escaped with
a woman with red hair.
Stroupe identified pictures of
Morgan in possession of Charlotte
police as the man, but recent
events have discounted the identi~
fication.

Horton Hero of the Day as
Greatest Mass Bid for
Title is Made

CARNOUSTIE, Scotland, July
6.--(UP)-The greatest mass bid
by United States players for the
British open golf title got off to
a successful start in the first
qualifying round yesterday when
eight of the Is star American en-
tries placed high in the lead and
the remaining seven within COM
Portable striking distance.
Hero of the day from the
American point of view was Hor-
ton Smith of Chicago. Hortie,
putting like machine, scored a
34-35-69 to equal the new rec
ord for the Carnoustie course set
today by Aubrey Boomer of
France. Boomer had 1888 to clip
one stroke from the mark of 70
set last year by Hector Thomson,
1886 British amateur champion.
The 69'S led the field. Next in
line with 70'S were an English

COURT CHANGE UP
TO SENATE TODAY
Continued from page one)

even though the administration
claims 81 vOteS-more than the
necessary majority-for the com
promise measure.
Wheeler's attitude seemed tO
indicate some difference of opin-
ion among opponents as to the
best strategy. Wheeler denied any
intention to filibuster in order to
defeat the bill. although Senator
Edward X. Burke, d., Neb., an
other leading opponent, repeated
ly has raised that threat.
The only administration de.
fense against a filibuster would
be to keep the senate in session
almost continuously, and the sue
cess of such tactics is problemat-
ical. No filibuster ever has sue
ceeded, senate veterans say, ex-
cept with an approaching ad-
journment deadline. On the other
hand no filibuster in senate his
tory has been able to muster as
great strength behind it as the
court opponents claim they will
have.
Thus the senate will begin con-
sideration of an issue historic in
Importance to the l50-year-old
supreme court with six months
stretching ahead for talk if nec-
eSSary.
Debate will not get warm, how
ever. before Thursday since both
houses plan to recess over We'd
nesday on account Of the all-star
baseball game between American
and National league teams.
Adjournment of congress is
now up to that body itself, since
all appropriation bills are out of
the way except for the measure
carrying funds for non-mllitary
activities of the war department,
which may come out of confer
ence this week. President Roose-
velt's program is complete and
several of his proposals are far
along in the committee stage so
that early action is possible.

Coach" and is the best cartoon
comedy I have seen since Three
Little Pigs" made Walt Disney
famous.
This is a fast and clever treat
ment of the conventional Cinde-
rella theme, crammed with rib
tickling ideas that are wholly
original. The Cinderella theme
is almost as venerable as the
theater, but there is something
about it that gets to your heart.
I guess it's because most of us
still believe in fairies.
MOVIES WANT PERKINS
Rotund Johnny Perkins, the
Emcee at the Capitol Theater,
has had several nibbles from Hol-
lywood but is holding out for a
screen job where he can play a
real comedy role.
In other words Comedian Per.
kinS has no desire to do Bits"
getting his laughs and then re-
firing from the range Of the en-
era while others get the foot
age. He would like to work all
through a picture, playing def
mite character.
Jack Oakie has demonstrated
that there is q place on the
screen for the diversified comic.
Paramount threatened to drop
him If he didn't stop growing
sideways instead of up and down.
But Oakie kept getting fatter
and strange to say his power to
amuSe grew with his aVoirdupoiS.
Now, as a free lance player, he
has more assignments than he
can fill at his contract wage of
$500 a week. Perkins strikes me
as a dandy substitute for the
chores Oakie can't find the time
to take.
I have been watching Johnny
Perkins, man and boy, since he
turned ITS on the scales, which
is about ten years ago. I have
never seen him fail with an as
Sembly since he has the pecu-
liar and rare quality of getting
close to an audience" This is no
cinch in a house as big as the
Capitol Theater, but Johnny
does it.
His facility for ad libbing was
tested at Gene Ford's farewell
party at the Willard Monday
night and he came through
with a roof-raising hit, duplicat-
ing his success in the same ball
room at Variety's annual get-to-
gether last Thanksgiving week.
The one Johnny Perkins weak
ness is a belief that the st. Louis
Cardinals is the best ball team
in either league. AS a pal of
Joe Medwick and Dizzy Dean,
the roly-poly comic sits on the
bench with the Gas House Gang
whenever his play dates find him
in the same city with his dia-
mond favoriteS. He took $1,000
at 8 to on the Cardinals in
Jack Doyle'S winter book on the
National League race. Johnny
still thinks he'll cash the bet.
