LUNCH PROJECT.
C 0 N TINUATION
ASKED BY ALLEN
Citizens Committee
Complete Audit

Free lunches will probably be
served to needy children at the
municipal Fairgrounds during the
summer vacation, it was indicated
today.
Commissioner Allen, WPA ad-
ministrator for the District, ex-
poets Federal approval on his plea
for continuation of the project
giving the lunches.
FINAL AUDIT
While this approval was being
awaited, final audit of the Citi-
zens Committee, which handled
the lunch project before it came
into Federal hands, was completed
and given to the Commissioners.
The committee, headed by Mrs.
John Boyle, ~, turned over about
50, 100 to Major Daniel Donovan,
District Auditor, when the Govern
ment took over the task of han
ding the lunch problem, and re-
quested he pay outstanding bills.
Major Donovan refused to do
this until an audit had been made.
Following the audit, the Commits
Sioners today approved a recon-
mendation that the bills, amount
ing to $1,982.59 be paid.
REFUSED COMMENT
At the same time the Commits.
sioners refused to discuss the
audit, referring all inquiries to
Mrs. Boyle. Asked about the re-
suit, she stated she had not yet
seen the report.
If the Federal grant is approved,
children certified by the school de.
partment will be furnished with
lunches of fruit. sandwiches and
milk each day. The project would
also provide work for about 200
women employed at the central
kitchen who are usually dropped
from the work rolls during the
summer.

while his companion on the ill

UNCLE RAYS CORNER-Story Of Hypnotsm

In the year l774 an Austrian doc
tor made a test with magnets. His
name was Franz Anton Mesmer, and
he was Al years of age.
A Ayoung woman. Franzl Oosterlein,
wanted him to cure her of the trou-
bles from which she suffered. We
are told she had attacks OF tooth
ache. earache and swooning and
paralysis.
Mesmer supposed there was a pow
er in iron magnets to cure some
kinds of diseases. He tied two mag
nets to her feet and hung another
one around her neck.
In his own story of what happened
next, Mesmer says sharp pains shot
through the patients body, and that
she perspired freely. Later he gave
her other treatments with magnets
and in a few months she was pro-
nounced we'll" Five years later Wolf
gang Mozart, famous master of mu-
sic, saw Franzl Oesterlein in Vienna
and wrote his father that he was
amazed to find her 80 fat and
healthy"
That event marked the start of a
new method of treatment by Mes
mer. He cured, or tried to cure
scores of other patients with mag
nets. His fame spread over Austria
and Germany, but he made enemies
among the doctors, and was called q
"quack." Before long he was or
dered to leave Vienna.
Going to Paris in 1778, Mesmel

was at first looked upon Is won
der worker" but he did not win the
trust of most doctors. ! He tried to
explain how he was able to cure
people, but his account was not
clear.
Mesmer treated a large number Of
patients in Paris, and some Of them
were rich. At length they raised .
large sum of money-300, 900 louis
for him, and he set up hospital
of sort.
BY this time Mesmer had given up
the idea that iron magnets were
needed to cure people. Instead he

claimed to use animal magnetism. I"
A widely known French physician,
DR.. d'Eslon, joined Mesmer and act.
ed as his chief assistant. At the
hospital, or clinic, there were dark
ened rooms. The patients came in
and formed circle, holding hands.
Soft music played while Mesmer and
D'Eslon touched the patients with
long wands. Then the patients went
into "convulsions," often weeping,
coughing or laughing for two or
three hours. In many cases they
seemed to be cured at the end Of
the convulsions.
A committee of scientists made a
study Of animal magnetism" and
then reported they could ind no
proof that magnetic fluid" ex-
listed. This report was a heavy blow
to Mesmer, but he went on treating
patients.

At this point West had the hand

beat the contract. His first thought
was to paly the ace of clubs so his
partner could not possibly over
take, but he felt that conceivably
declarer might have the king OF

ace would chuck the hand. Accord

felt should be a high enough card

started to think, and poor West

This is worn over a black silk
marocain dress with a thin line
of red tracing both back and

group of pleatS let in one side
of the skirt front is faced with
the same red, giving the dress

DENNY has been thinking
1 about this problem of sani-
tary supplies and she Is right In
thinking that some OF the
cheaper kinds are just as whole
some and sanitary as the more
expensive ones. These usually
come in a larger volume for less
money, too. Some of the home
made varieties may be good but
if a brand can be found which
fits into the budget 1t is much
easier to buy them ready pre-
pared. Special brands put up
with the retailers names on
them are frequently identical to
the well-known products. Some
times, in fact they are merely
the excess product which failed
to sell under its usual brand

it will be well for us to discount
the claim somewhat? The brand
of which Betty speaks, by the
