Should seedlings in The Stars cur
rent mems doubles tournament at
Edgemoor run true to form and jim
my Farrin and Bill Howard defeat
David johnson and Hugh Lynch in
their semi-final match this after
noon, both the singles and doubles
championships probably will be de-
cided on Saturday afternoon. For in
the event of a Farrin- Howard victory
the title doubles match would not
involve either Of the two, who will be
playing for the singles crown aid
The Star Cup.
Before starting play today,
though, both johnson and
Lynch had chance to reach
both final matches.
In addition to being in the doubles
semis both are in the next-to-last
round of singles. OF course, even
should they win today, there is a
chance that both will be knocked
of tomorrow by their singles op-
ponents. Allie Ritzenberg should
prove a hard customer for Lynch,
and Farrin Is to be conceded the
edge on johnson on experience, if
for no other reason.
Notification from the U. s. L. r. A.
that its junior tournament which
starts Saturday would be approved
as a qualifying tourney for the Ma
tional Interscholastics was received
by The Star today. That means that
schoolboy entrants, certified to be in
good standing at local high or prep
school, will have the chance to be
the Districts representative in the
national competition at the Merton
Cricket Club next month.
Because of the age limit In force
for juniors and boys, no one over
10 years of age as Of January last
will be allowed to enter, despite the
fact that age limits do not apply to
interscholastics.
Further, should an interscholastic
entrant not win the tourney, the one
who proceeds furthest will be the one
eligible to 60 to Merton.
Juniors and boys should re-
member that entries close at 6
o'clock tonight at the Tennis

"A Ride With Death"
BY FLOYD GIBBONS
Famous Headline Hunter

HELL
IL Mary Billiard of La Sale, III, is today's Distinguished
Adventurer, and she wins that distinction with one of the
most terrifying yarns I've seen in a long time.
1t happened in 1913. when Mrs Billiard was Miss Mary Blanch, a girl
OF weVe, and Mary says, The La Sale papers called me a heroine at
the time, and it was all quite exciting for a girl of my age, but it lost its
ton, fighting the dangers of gangrene and lockaw'
You can se from that statement of Marys that there a tragedy
in that episode as well as adventure. And it started with nothing but a
days, and most of the streets were mer unpaved dirt roads.
Her Dad Bought a Race Horse.
Marys dad had bought a horse that had spent all its life on
race tracks and a hard to handle when hitched to a buggy.
1t had U away twice, and Mary's mother didn't drive it any
ofener thar she had to.
But there came a day when she felt she HAD to drive that horse
They had just moved into town. and Mary was finishing a term at a
little country schoolhouSe three miles out Of La Sale. Marys teacher
was coming back with her that evening, so ttacr hichcd up the
horse and started out to get them.
Mother hadn't been feeling well all that day. but she made the
trip to the schoolhouse with, ut any trouble. They were all on their way
to town, with Mary in the niGGe between her mother ara TIE teacher,
when, without warning, Mary felt her mother fall away from her.
She looked around just in time to see mother torple from the seat
and pitch headong into TIE read. She had tainted.

But that was only the beginning CT a disastrous train of events. Mother
had fallen out with the lines still clutched in her hands. The sudden
jerk or those reins, caused by her falling, frightened the horse. 1t gaze
a leap forward.
"And with that leap" says Mary, "there started the fastest
ride l had yer remembered in all my twelve years.

entire sequence based on the work
done At Father Flanagan's Home
for Boys-the official title.
What has taken place in that
home for boys is somewhat miracu-
lous, according to students OF child
psychology who have visited there,
and Father Flanagan last night told
in simple terms just how and Why
he began the work. He had been
in social service work amongst men
and decided to turn his attention
to boys. He hoped to get them
young and train them right, 50 they
could take their places among the
decent citizens of the community.
In all. he has seen more than 5000
boys rescued from almost certain
disaster. His home today can &C
commodate only 200 boys, but plans
are now being made to care for 500.
A $500 900 dormitory is on the way
this, from a start with only $50 In
the treasury 81 years ago.
James Colliflower, president of
the Calvert Club, presided at the
reception last night. The proceed
ings were opened with three musical
selections by the Catholic Univer-
sity Glee Club. Robert Fechner,
director Of the c. c. c. camps, q pet
project Of President Roosevelt, was
introduced to the assemblage. It
was stated that President Roose-
welt, at the White House conference
with Father Flanagan, had said the
boys town project was the natural
forerunner for c. C. C. activities.
Father Flanagan was accompanied
to the White House by Harry p.
Somerville, q director of the Calvert
Club.

Blood Bank To Be Established
At ChiIdren's Hospital
Board Of Lady Visitors Donates $575
To Take Gore of Initial Cost

Children's Hospital will soon have
a living blood bank" similar
to that established this fall at GAL
linger, Miss Matte Gibson, super
intendent, announced today.
The proposal to have the "bank"
has been considered by the medical
staff of the hospital for some time
and at a recent meeting of the
Board of Lady Visitors, Miss, Gibson
brought the matter up. It was re-
ceived enthusiastically and $575,
enough to finance initial expense,
was donated by members Of the
board.
The bank" will be modelled after
that at the Cook County Hospital
in Chicago, where the first living
donor blood bank" was established
in March, 1887.
The purpose of the bank" is to
supply readily, at any time, blood
for TRANSMISSION, and it is believed by
the medical stan at Children's Hos
pital that the adoption of the pro-
posed plan will help to solve the
problem Of demand for matching
and sociological tests which now
interrupts the other work Of the
hospital laboratory.
Under the plan the 'bank" will
be maintained in Q special locked
electric refrigerator in the operating
room of the hospital. The cost Of
the refrigerator and glassware con-

stitute the initial price Of the
bank" The staff and laboratory
are already available At the hospital,
Miss Gibson said.
Blood will be used In fractional
amounts from the same flask only
for the same recipient.
Until now Childrens Hospital has
used blood taken directly from do
nors, or If donors could not be
found. from professional donors.
Cost of the latter runs from $25 to
$50, and considerable delay and in
convenience TO both patient and
hospital have been experienced in
the case of the former. A single
TRANSMISSION at the Chicago Hospital
now costs q dollar.
Miss Gibson estimated today that
the hospital performs an average of
five transfusions a day and that
difficulties in tipping and matching
blood at odd hours as well as in
finding donors in some instances
were encountered.
Miss Gibson said that although
the initial cost Of the blood "bank"
had been taken care Of, no funds
are available for its perpetuation.
As most transfusion cases ct the
hospital are ward cases, they are
therefore free of charge. She esti-
mated that from so to $10o 4
month would be needed to finance
the bank after 1t Is established.

During their three-year estrange-

wealthy in her own right, she would
never grant the money making star
his freedom. She said Gable had
never asked her for it.

4. N. A. Plea for Jury
instruction Rejected
By Justice Proctor
Inquiry Into Organized
Medicine Will
Proceed

In q verbal opinion from the
bench today, Justice James n. Proc
tor overruled the motion of Counsel
for the Medical Society of the Dis
trict Of Columbia to have the men,
bers Of the additional grand jury
called before him to be instructed
in the law.
This means that the inquiry into
organized medicine, which has been
under way for the past couple of
months, will proceed without this
interruption.
William E. Leahy, representing the
society, told the court at the hearing
on the motion yesterday that he did
not see why the Government OBJ
jected to the motion to summon the
additional grand jury and asked if it
was afraid to tell the inquisitors the
true situation. He declared that
Government counsel should be glad
to join In the motion.
At the outset of the hearing,
Government counsel served on the
District Medical Society motion to
strike its motion requesting that
the additional grand jury be brought
before Justice Proctor.
The Governments position was
that such action in summoning the
additional grand jury at the behest
OF the society is premature, that it
would impose a double duty upon
the judge and that it might bring
to the fore legal questions which
later might have to be ruled on in
the case in chief, if an indictment
Is forthcoming.
Arguing for the Government was
Allan Hart, special assistant to the
Attorney General, who declared the
society was a volunteer" that no
issues have been framed as yet, in
the absence of an indictment, that
the court does not know the rele-
vancy of the matters sought as
instructions to the grand jury, that
instructions so given might be a
waste Of the courts time and of
counsel, as well as of the grand jury
itself, and confusing.
Arguing for the society was
George P. Hoover, who said
that If the special assistants
to the Attorney General, who have
the investigation in charge, in
fiuence the grand jurors in the law.
they are outside their province and
II an indictment results, it should
be quashed Only the court can
give adequate instructions on the
Sherman Antitrust Act, which is
not definite in its terms, he argued,
and brought up the point that the
practice of medicine is not
trade" within the meaning Of the
statute.
If any one Of the grand Jurors
asked for instructions, Justice
Proctor would be bound under his
oath to give them. argued Nj.
/ Hoover. He declared that he wa
