Miss Laurence
Suffering From
Lack of Sleep

Suffering from inflamed eye-lids
and sleeplessness after the sudden
death Of her leading man early Tues
day. Miss Gertrude Lawrence, star Of
the comedy-drama Susan and God, ;"
was ordered by her physicians not to
appear for the matinee performance
Of the play at the National Theater
yesterday and the matinee was can
celed.
The show went on as usual last
night, however. after Miss Lawrence
responded to treatments during the
afternoon. The management said it
will continue for the remainder OF
the scheduled run, barring further
unforeseen developments which have
plagued the show since its opening
here Monday night
Miss Lawrence was said to have
been deeply shocked by the death of
Osgood Perkins. her leading man.
He was stricken few hours after the
opening performance Monday night
and died in his hotel room. She had
gone for 66 hours without sleep until
yesterday.
The theatrical makeup which it is
necessary for Miss Lawrence to wear
in the role of Susan" was said by
her physicians to aggravate the in
famed condition Of her eye-lids. She
wore a lighter makeup than usual
for last nights performance.

animals collected.
Among those who met the expedition
here were McFall Kerbey, special rep
resentative of the Geographic, and
Joseph Roberts. staff photographer of
the Geographic. Mrs. Davis was here
to greet her husband, whom she had
not seen since the expedition left last
Winter. An informal Reception Com
mittee met the Silverash at the mouth
of the harbor some Is miles from port
yesterday afternoon. It's members
voyaged out in a motor boat and hoped
Capt. Rowe might see flt to take the
committee aboard when he slowed
down to pick up the pilot.
Appeal Sent for Bananas.
This hope was strengthened by the
fact that Hr. Mann had wirelessed
ahead, asking that 600 bananas be put
aboard with the pilot if possible, as
monkeys and birds were dangerously
short of fresh fruit and a few hours
might save valuable lives. The COM

than one reason 1t suspected that
freighter captains battling to keep
schedule are sometimes loath to pick
up Reception Committee at sea.
The Silverash came in from the
Atlantic and slowed down only little
to pick up the pilot, whose oarsmen
caught line and held on while he
scaled rope ladder.
The Reception Committee was prac-
tically abandoned until reporter
waved bunch of bananas. That
proved too much for DR.. Mann. He
begged the captain to have lines
thrown over the side for the bananas
if not the committee, but the COM
mittee demanded a rope ladder in
exchange for the fresh fruit. Their
motor boat had come against the hull
Of the steamer while she moved on
her way, and their small crew clung
to the lines. At length a ladder was
lowered and the visitors had q swell
time for an hour or so, looking over
the wild cargo while the ship moved
into port.
After the Silverash docked, the
reporters told the captain, We'll, we'll
see you when you come into Boston" "
II have something to look forward to,
then," said the Englishman.

similar fate. but the agency was re-

President Approves Details.
100000 Cards to Be
Mailed Immediately.

BY the Associated Press.
HYDE PARK, N. Y, September %.
Plans for $4,000, 900 postal registra-
ton of the jobless and part-time en-
ployed before December / were ap-
proved yesterday by President Roose-
welt and announced by John d. Big
gers, who will direct the count.
Biggers, in formal statement, said
the President signed an executive order
giving him adequate authority" and
approving an expenditure up to S.
100000.
I'VE intend to keep we'll within that
figure without sighting thoroughness, "
said the Toledo glass manufactures
who agreed to take charge Of what he
called very big" job for 81.
The registration must be completed
by December /, he explained, to beat
the Christmas postal rush and the
heavy seasonal employment after that
date, especially in farm areas.
I'VE want to get ahead OF that time
to get a fair picture, not a seasonal
one" he said.
100000 Cards to Be Mailed.
The Post ONCE Department, he con.
tinued, would handle the distribution
collection and preliminary check Of
registration cards to be mailed to 3l,-

ened to break their lashings. Capt.
Rowe slowed his engines, brought the
freighter into the wind to lessen the
vessels roll and he labored for hours
with his crew to save the valuable
and fragile creatures. The captain
also rigged high-voltage lamps in the
crates to warm the tropical animals
in northern ATTITUDES.
The Silverash arrives in New York
via Boston some time Saturday or
Sunday. The wild cargo will be dis
charged at New York for transporta-
ton to the Zoo by train.
Another pet aboard the vessel is
Harry, Malay tiger, which Mrs.
Mann nursed through an ailing in
fancy. Harry has grown so large now
that his petting must be bestowed with
caution. He shows every promise of
developing into fine, ferocious speci-
men. Another shipboard favorite is
Wrestler, the young husband -to-be of
Susie, the Zoos orang-utan widow,
bereaved by pneumonia several years
ago. Wrestler is friendly ape with
a weakness for shaking hands, if he
can find courageous hand-shaker.
Wrestler shares attention with six
gibbons and thrives on competition.
700 Birds in First Glass;"
Among the ships first-class passen-
gers are 700 birds, wild dog, s leop-
ards, golden CATS 2 tigers, l clouded
leopard, % monkeys, 2 lutangs, por-
cuplnes, 2 hedgehogs, S jerboas, otter,
bears, kangaroos, orang-utans,
nyctccebus, 2 hog badgers, martins,
musings, binturongs, 18 squirrels
and miscellaneous giant pythons, blood
pythons, cobras and vipers.
The second-class passengers. or be-
hoofed stock, must go to quarantine
Tor two weeks in New JERSEY. The
four giraf1es, unfortunately, fall into
this category, along with African
Buffalo, 2 gaur, l serow, blue sheep,
mouse deer, l barking deer, anoas,
wild pig, 8 tapirs and Sambar deer,
The Agriculture Department will
enforce the quarantine on these ar
rivals to insure against possible i'm
portation Of hoof and mouth disease.
At least score of the animals en-
route to Washington have never be-
fore been exhibited in America, and
twice that many are new to the Ma
tional Geological Park The returning
members of the expedition, which has
been collecting since March from a
base camp in Sumatra, include DR.. and
Mrs. Mann, Roy Jennier, chief keeper
of the Zoos reptile house; Malcolm
Davis. the Zoos bird expert, and Ly-
ang Gaddi, native of Borneo, hunter,
guide and keeper, who was brought to
America because he knew enough
about jungle creatures to preserve as
well as destroy their lives.

OF, the emergency agencies created
early in the New Deal, the Works

one which was still going strong to-
day after President Roosevelt's sus-
pension of ALLEGATIONS under the Pub
lie Works Administration.
The Civilian Conservation Corps, al
though technically still on an emer-
gency basis, is regarded by the admin
istration as permanent. The other big

The future of P. W. A. still is I'M

shadowed an effort in the next session
Of Congress to extend the work ad-
ministration by mandatory legislation
In the last two years it twice has been
extended by such moves on Capitol
Hill.
Should further extension fail, Con-
gress would be called on to consider
the proposal by Secretary Ickes, public
works administrator, that skeleton

one hand, it is fundamentally wrong to leave the affairs of the land in the hands of a group of old men in their dotage: or if that statement does not fit in with ones ideas, there is the assurance that 1t is bad business to substi- ute exuberance for wisdom. In any event, a good fight is on, and those who like excitement are getting plenty of it.
 High above the noise of battle comes a bugle blast from the Chairman of the Board of Cover nors of the Federal Reserve Sys- tenn, who is quoted as saying that what the country needs is higher taxes and more of them. Mem bers of Congress who have spok- en on the subject seem 10 think that a tax increase is something about which it is well to go slow ly and do some careful thinking in advance. The court issue will be forgotten after a little, regard less of what may be done about it, but tax boost sticks a long while in the public mind. It is well that Congress do some think ing in advance and thereby make it unnecessary for the taxpayer to have the last, best and after all, the most potent think.

The Washington
 Newsletter

One thing must be admitted re- garding the discussion as 10 what if anything, should be done about recasting the Supreme Court: everybody is having his say, rang ing from experts on both sides, down to those who do not have a very clear idea what it IS al about. All of which reminds one of the old colored man who, when asked whether the frog was an amphibious animal, replied: Deed he is, MT. Smith, awful am- phibious.
 The situation has not progress ed beyond the point of general discussion, airing of views and offering suggestions. The Presi- dents stand is well known. Boil ed down to few words it is. More justices, and do it now. A more moderate course, tending in the same direction, is put forward by those who hold that, although changes may be desirable, consti- tutional amendment is what is re- uuired. The latest plan to be put toward is an eighteen year term of service, terminated in any event when the age of 70 years is reached.
 MT. Justice McReynolds, whe- ther speaking for himself or for the entire court is not known, has broken the silence that the court has maintained heretofore regarding its own destiny and functions. His attitude perhaps is included in the statement that the Supreme Court is the balance wheel of the national timepiece, and that it is well to be reason ably sure of consequences before adopting any radical change, in courts or in anything else.
 Finally there are the extreme views on both sides. Upon the

Billy Lewis and His Pet Pigeon
 "Coofy-Tops

What boy, who does not like a pigeon as pet. Billy Lewis is training "Goofy" to be a radi- ator cap on his automobile. The following story is reprinted from a Seattle paper, name not known and is as follows:
 If you see a streamlined auto mobile travelling through the streets of Seattle with stream lined pigeon perched on the rad iator cap-that's Goofy And the shiny eyed boy watching the pigeon will be Billy Lewis.
 Two months ago Goofy was just another pigeon, but today he's well on the way toward becom- ing a radiator cap decoration.
 Goofy's in training and his B. yearold master, Billy Lewis, says he trains we'll. Billy doesn't care whether Goofy turns into a radiator cap, particularly, but the pet pigeon dotes on sitting on automobile hoods.
 That's the way Billy and Goofy first met. Goofy was perched on the hood of the automobile that Billy's father drives, when the machine was parked one day at the University of Washington Billy tried to shoo the pigeon away. But the visitor stayed, sit ting tight all the way from the campus to 1920 38th Avenue N. where Billy lives.
 We invited him in, and he had some grain" Billy says. 'Ther we let him go. But he didn't go He'd fly around, but he alway! came back
 Goofy sticks by Billy's side lik' glue. He perches on his younl masters shoulder, arm or head Billy built a cozy little apple bo, home for his pigeon pal, but Goo fly spurns it. He lives in tn, caves, the traditional billing ant cooing zone for all good pigeons
