'SCREEMO' RACKET
CUT BY ARRESTS
Four Men Held on Suspicion
After New Tickets Are
Found in Auto.

A brand-new racket. thought to
have been designed to succeed the
numbers game. made a short-lived bid
for existence in Washington yesterday
after police arrested four men on
suspicion at Fourteenth and K streets
NV and found hundreds of newly
printed lottery forms in their auto
mobile.
Called "Screemo," but better de-
scribed as a combination of bingo and
the numbers. samples of the game
were taken to the district attorneys
office. There 1t was held that
"Screemo" is lottery and therefore
illegal.
Because the men had made no effort
to distribute the forms, no charges
were preferred. and they were to be
released In the custody of an at
torney. 1t was learned, however, that
the games hacker was to have been
a well-known local gambling overlord.
AS described by the arrested men.
"Screemo' sounded like pari-mutuel
bingo. You buy card for IS cents.
On 1t are printed Is squares, one for
every day from Monday through Fri
day. Whether or not you win de-
pends on the numbers return from
pari-mutuel tracks conforming In anv
2l combinations. With weekly pay
offs, it is possible to win from SO to $50.
Runners for the game were to have
oeen paid 80 per cent of the receipts
from weekly sale of the forms, it was
learned. Both Federal and local Off
cials admitted the racket might have
assumed dangerous proportions had 1t
been allowed to secure foothold here,
Police said the game had been in
operation about two weeks, and the
forms were printed in Baltimore. The
name "Screemo." it was said, had no
significance other than as a trade
designation.

blanket LICENSE o. KID
Commissioners Approve 800 Fee
for Liquor on Trains.

The Senate District Committee yes
terday received a favorable report
from the Commissioners on a bill to
permit railroads and steamboat COM
panies to obtain a blanket liquor
license Of 500 a year for 10 or more
cars or boats.
The Commissioners explained that
under the present fee of $40 per car
or boat some of the larger railroads
do not take out licenses because of
the number Of cars entering the city
occasionally. While the bill reduces
the license for one car from $40 to
$40, they predicted any loss from this
change would be made up because
railroads probably would take out
the blanket licenses.

NEW HOPE FOR ILL CHILDREN
START FUND FOR CAMP TRIP 'Hooroy
$50 Is Needed
For Support
Of Each
Child
BY JAMES CULLINANE

New hope for the Is Sickly
youngsters sentenced to battle the
menace of tuberculosis in hot and
Overcrowded city rooms this sum-
mer came today as generous Wash
ingtonians began mailing in con-
tributions to fill the empty cots
at the Children's Health Camp,
on Bald Eagle Hill.
1t costs only $50 to support a
child for the summer in the beau
tiful camp at Forty-ninth Street
and Minnesota Avenue Southeast,
but the District tuberculosis AS
sociation was forced to leave 5
boys and girls behind when the
camp opened yesterday.
CAMP READY
All the facilities for caring for
IS additional children are avail
able at the camp. New young
sters will be admitted to join the
400 already there just as soon as
the $50 needed for their care is
contributed. The tuberculosis AS
sociation does not intend to wait
until the $4,000 needed to care
for the entire group of Is is col
lected.
On the rolls of the tuberculosis
association are the names of more
than 100 youngsters already af-
f1icted with the childhood type of
tuberculosis who were left behind
yesterday. From this list will be-
selected the Is most urgent cases
to bring the enrolment at the
health camp up to the maximum.
MRS. GRANT HOPEFUL
Mrs. Ernest R. Grant, executive
director of the tuberculosis ASso-
citation, expressed the hope that
Washingtonians would not fail to
come to the aid of the children
who were left behind.
THE people of the District
we're so kind last year when they
contributed funds to send IS
children who had been left be-
hind to the camp I feel sure they
will not fail the youngsters we
could not take this year." she
said.
Officials Of the tuberculosis as
sociation faced a heartJbreaking
task in selecting the children who
would be denied the health restor-
ing care available at the camp.
"One mother broke down and
cried when we told her her little
girl could NOT go. She told us |
she had eight children and her
husband was unemployed. The
entire family is living in only
two rooms. The children are
showing early symptoms Of tu-
berculoSiS. Gould any case be
worse than mine?' the mother
asked u.s." one official said.
CHILDREN HAPPY
Meanwhile, the 100 children at
the camp settled down happily to
the routine which will send them
away at the end of August,
bronzed and chubby. Rest, sun.
shine and plenty of milk and
health-giving foods is the prescrip-
ton the children are taking.
Camp officials pointed out that
the two months at the camp is
not intended as a cure for tubercu-
losis.. But by building up the re-
sistence of the youngsters who are
known to be susceptible to the
disease the tuberculosis Associa-
tion hopes they will have Suf-
ficient resistance to go through
the winter without health break
down.
First contribution today came
from an anonymous resident of
the 1900 block of Tuckerman st.
N. w. Other contributions are ex-
pected to pour in as soon as civic,
social, fraternal and labor organ
izations can perfect plans for
benefits and donations from their
treasures as they did last year.
