D.C.MAN VAN|SHES;
FOUL PLAY FEARED
Police Await Chemists Re-
port on Analysis of C. A.
LynCh'S Stained Clothing.

Police today awaited a chemist s
report on bundle of stained shirts
to determine the course of their
search for Charles Armstrong Lynch,
80, believed by his family here to
have met with foul play last week in
Texarkana, Ark
Lynch's family received the bundle
through the mails Monday, a few
days after police in Texarkana found
papers bearing Lynch's name at a
night club where they had been sum-
moned to stop fight. Both COM
batants had left when police arrived,
it was reported, but later they dis
covered other papers bearing Lynch's
name in car in which he was said
to have left the night club.
At the suggestion of Lynch's family.
police here sent the shirts to the
Health Department for analysis on the
possibility the stains might have been
made by blood. Capt. Ira Keck, as
sistant chief of detectives, said that
after examining the clothing he did
not think blood caused the marks.
A native of Washington, Lynch left
here about two years ago for the West.
but had returned recently for a visit.
His brother Buford Lynch, Washing
ton attorney. said Charles was believed
to have left Los Angeles for Washing
ton few weeks ago.
Lynch attended Virginia Military
Institute and later West Point, where
he played foot ball After graduating
from West Point. he was assigned 70
the Coast Artillery, but resigned to
take position in the Procurement
Division of the Treasury Department
He has second brother here, who
is an administrative assistant with
the Reconstruction Finance Corp. His
mother, Mrs. Blanche Lynch, lives at
the Willard.

BALTIMORE, September 30-The
third largest fire in the history of
Baltimore destroyed Carlin's, the city's
biggest amusement park, early today,
injuring two firemen and causing
more than 100000 damage.
Ten alarms called out so pieces of
apparatus to battle the spectacular
blaze that swept seven structures in
the first hour.
Ire fire alarm bureau said more
alarms had been sounded only twice
before-in the great city-wide fire of
1904 and the 5th Regiment Armory
blaze few years ago.
Firemen Carl Cramer and Harry
Smith were slightly burned.
Only one building, the dance hall,
in the area covering several city
blocks was saved, as a stiff breeze
swept 100-foot-high flames from one
wooden structure to another.
J. j. Carlin, owner of the Carlin's
Park Amusement Center, would esti-
mate damage only at well over
S250.00o." Carlin said It was not

KANSAS CITY, September 3o.-A
resolution to investigate Justice Black
was sidetracked and probably killed
in an American Bar Association COM
mittee today while Representative
Hatton Summers, Texas. Democrat,
outlined a battalion of death" to
fight for constitutional government.
Summers, chairman of the House
Judiciary Committee and powerful
figure in the recent Supreme Court
battle clarified to reporters section
of a speech in which he asked: Are
you willing to join battalion of death
to save the Constitution and Gov
ernment?"
Approaching Crisis.
Summers told neWsmen he was not
particularly referring in that sentence
to the court fight or any other con-
troversial issue.
What 1 am getting at is funda-
mentals. l believe that the court
controversies much as I tried to
avoid it-has proven of far more good
than injury in stirring up an interest
in government and making the people
think-getting them on the job.
THE time has come when individ-
uals cannot consider the cost of them
selves or their political fortunes. We
are going to be at the peak of the
| governmental crisis in two or three
years. We've got to balance the
budget, decentralize the Government
and make the people shoulder the re-
sponsibility of government.
It's like the psychology of going ovel
the top. I don't think we are going
over the precipice, but we are ap.
preaching the crisis he concluded.

GENEVA, September 30.-A League

decision to present Premier Mussolini
with the alternative of withdrawing
his Italian volunteers from the Span

frontier thrown open to arms and
men for the Spanish Valencia govern

A delegate who left the session of
the committee drafting a resolution
on the Spanish civil conflict said this
agreement had been reached after a
heated 3-hour argument.
Aggression Charge Ignored.
He reported that the draft resolu-
ton does not refer to the foreign
aggression" which Spain had charged
against Italy. but rather to foreign
intervention"
The resolution was said to declare if
the withdrawal of foreign combatants
is not made effective within one
months time. the signatorieS of the
non-intervention agreement are in
vited to envisage" return to policy
based on international law.
This was interpreted by the commit

The French we're reported to have
given the Spanish delegation assur-

Laws Now Bar Child
Marriage in 80 States

Washington. = The wave of
sentiment aroused by publicity
given to a number of child
brides early this year has ap-
parently resulted in general
Tightening of regulations to pre-
vent such marriages of very
young children.
A survey by the United States
children's bureau shows that the
legal minimum marriage age for
children has now been raised above
the common-law age in 80 states
and the District of Columbia In
all but nine states the youngest
age at which girl can legally mar
ry is between fourteen and sixteen
years. For boys in these states the
legal minimum marriage age varies
from sixteen to eighteen years. The
highest statutory minimum age,
found in New Hampshire, is twenty
for boys and eighteen for girls.
In Colorado, Florida, Idaho, Mary
land, Mississippi, New Jersey,
Rhode Island, Tennessee and Wash
ington the common-law marriage
age still applies and boys of four
teen and girls of twelve years are
considered able to give valid con-
sent to marriage.

Fear of Dead Is
Blamed in Indians
Babel of Languages

Washington.-Dead men tell
no tales, but they helped create
the babel of over 100 languages
spoken by American Indians.
This theory is advanced by DR..
John P. Harrington, Smithsonian In
stitution ethnologist and authority
on Americas ancient tongues.
Widespread among Indian tribes,
he explains, was terror of the dead
so intense that even a dead per-
sons name was not whispered aloud.
Since Indians commonly bore per-
sonal names such as Blue Reindeer
or Strong Bow, relatives and friends,
after a death would find it advis-
able to invent new words or at
least change slightly the words of
the dead Indians name.
This doubtless accounts in part,
DR.. Harrington says, for there being
over 100 Indian languages, many
as different as English and Russian.
Another reason why ancient
America had many languages, in
contrast to modern Americas few,
is that Indian groups kept encoun-
tering new animals, plants, and new
experiences, and so group would
invent words to meet the situation.
DR.. Harrington believes that the
varied Indian tongues possibly de-
veloped from one ''proto-American"
language brought from Siberia into
Alaska by early Immigrants into
the New World.

"Sky Dog Team"
of 1000 Balloons
Seeks Shakespeare
Jean Picard Will Attempt
Hop, Using New Method

Denver. = New shakespeare
records will be sought in an en-
tirely new kind of stratosphere
balloon, Jean Picard, twin
brother of strato-pioneer Au-
gust Picard, announced to the
meeting of the American Asso-
citation for the Advancement of
Science here.
Mr.. Picard will undertake the
long ascension under the lift not of
a single giant balloon as heretofore
used, but with "sky dog team"
of 1000 small rubber pilot balloons
of the type now used by the U. S.
weather bureau for unnamed fights
with light recording instruments.
"Since a single sounding balloon
is able to carry half-pound in
strument to an altitude of twenty
miles it is obvious that 1000 sound
ing balloons could lift an air-tight
gondola weighing 1000 pounds to
the same lofty position" he said.
''It is my intention to construct
such an assembly and to make
scientific observations at the alti-
tudes reached by sounding balloons.
Before making such a flight l in
tend to test the possibilities of the
composite balloon by making, in
the near future, an experimental
flight with eighty sounding balloons
attached to an open gondola."
On this experimental flight, Mr.
Picard expects to be contented
with the modest altitude of about
two miles. He added:
GAS a whole, our new lighter
than-air craft, if it works, will work
like very large dog team and the
pilot will be the driver of 1000
sky dogs
There is a widely accepted story
of multiplication flight $50 years
ago, with a craft said to have been
invented by two prominent early
members of the American Philo-
sophical society in Philadelphia.
Published in France not long after
the first balloon flights there, it went
into great and convincing detail
and was all a hoax. But the story
has persisted, and is solemnly re-
peated in every history of aero
nautics and in all the encyclope-
dias.
However, multiple balloon flights
really were made in both this coun-
try and Europe during the 1905,
so the Picard proposal has prece-
dents of quite respectable standing.

HEAVENLY DAYS FOR THE JORDANS
Marion and JmFibber MCGEE and Molly to YouHt the Top
in Radio After Years of Labor, Love and Laughter.
By WILLIAM G. UTLEY

SsVIIHY don't you forget
w about that guy Jordan?"
a sutton asked Marion Driscoll
about Is years ago. Hell
never amount to anything. If
you marry him, you'll be living
out of a suitcase all your life"
That settled it. For there was
nothing Marion Driscou would rath-
er have done for the rest of her
life than live out of a suitcase-with
her Jim.
It was a good thing for you and
me, too. If this swell romance
hadn't blossomed into happy and
lasting marriage, we would have
had to do without two of the most
good-humored and welcome visitors
who 'call" at our homes-Fibber
MCGEE and Molly.
Marion and Jim Jordan "ived out
of a suitcase" and worked like the
dickens for a good many years be-
fore, as Fibber and Molly, they be-
came one of the five or six top
ranking radio teams. In the rural
areas and small communities they
rank first. We've got a bigger
audience than even Jack Benny
has," is the way Jim puts it.
Fibber Born on Farm.
No wonder, either. They've al
ways been small town folks" even
though they've lived in Chicago for
a long time. Like Fibber and Mol
ly, the Jordans themselves are as
genuine as the eggs in homemade
cake. One indication is sufficient:
During the leaner years when they
sometimes worked for S35 week,
the Jordans and their two children
katherine, seventeen, and Jim,
Jr., thirteen-lived in an unpreten-
tious residential district on Chi
cago's northwest side, where they
had a lot of friendly neighbors,
plain, ordinary folks like them
selves. When they suddenly found
themselves in the ''big money" class
at last, did they buy a fine man.
sion on the Gold Coast, with more
servants than closets? They did
not. They built little seven-room
house right in their old neighbor-
hood; it was HOME to them, and
that was important.
Fibber Cor Jim, if you prefer was
born on a farm near Peoria, ILL.,,
and worked on it until he was
twelve; he had seven brothers and
sisters to help him out. Marion was
a Peoria girl, the youngest save
one of a family of Is.
Now there hardly lives a gal who
doesn't like to look into a mirror
once in a while, and Marion was no
exception. At sixteen she was a
very pretty girl and had a voice
good enough to land her in the
church choir. 1t was at choir prac-
tice one day that she caught her
self sneaking peek into the glass
above the piano. And when she
