Lost and Injured Dog Found
By Youth Who Had Noticed Ad

when he was out walking with his
own dog. Patsy, shivering beneath
a wooden bench, had been turned
over to an employe of the Cathedral,
who in turn had taken her to his
home in Cabin John. Md.
Mr.. Vickrey notified the Smiths, who
called for Patsy and rushed her to
veterinary hospital Patsys broken
leg, the result Of the accident, was
set and a cast applied.
The Smiths sat up with their ailing
pet all Sunday night. Just as dawn
was breaking yesterday Patsy showed
her first sign of returning zest for
life. She heard the rattle Of milk
bottles. Struggling to her feet, she
barked joyfully at the milk man.
Patsy has tender associations for
the Smith family. She was Mr..
Smiths gift to Mrs. Smith on the
anniversary Of their first month of
their marriage, which took place in
September. Mr.. Smith is the son
OF Capt. Milton D. Smith. commander
Of the Traffic Division of the Metro
politan Police Department.

A broken leg and memories OF a
cold, lonely night in the National
Cathedral grounds didn't keep Patsy,
cocker spaniel pet of Mrs. Milton A.
Smith, from wagging her tail and
barking at the milkman this morning
Patsy darted into the path OF an
automobile Friday while being taken
for a walk by Mr.. Smith just a few
blocks from the Smith apartment at
3010 Wisconsin avenue NV. Bewil-
dered. the injured dog turned and fled
on her three good legs. Mr.. Smith
thought she was going home. he said
today, but instead, she vanished into
the Cathedral grounds.
A searching party was organized. but
the injured puppy could not be found
in the thickly wooded grounds. Hope
OF finding Mrs. Smiths pet had been
virtually abandoned Sunday when

brown spaniel in The Star.

WELFARE AGENCY
NEEDS DETAILED
Personnel and Funds Short,
Spokesman Declare
at Luncheon.

Lack of sufficient personnel to prop
erly operate the eight agencies under
supervision of the Board of Public
Welfare was cited by heads of the
various departments at a luncheon
of the Council of Social Agencies at
the Young Women's Christian Asso-
citation Building yesterday Welfare
Director Elwood Street introduced the
speakers.
The agencies are the Public As
sistance Division, District of Columbia
Penal Institutions, Child Welfare Di-
vision, District Training School, Home
for the Aged and Infirm at Blue
Plains, D. C.; Industrial Home School
for Colored Children, Industrial Home
School for White Children and the
Receiving Home.
AN increasingly critical situation
is being created because of the in
ability of the Public Assistance Di-
vision to grant aid to those persons
deserving it from this source" Miss
NJ. Alice Hill. chief of the division,
declared. adding that many long
time residents of the District are daily
being denied help which they need
so badly"
Determine Eligibility.
This is not because of insufficient
funds, Miss Hill pointel out, but
rather because the staff has not been
large enough to determine eligibility
in time to approve their grants, par
ticularly in the handling of old-age
assistance and general relief appro-
priations The division also is charged
with the administration of assistance
to the needy blind, home care for de-
pendent children and funds for the
Florence Crittenton Home, she ex-
planned,
An additional hardship may be
worked on the division, Miss Hill
pointed out, if the 80 per cent reduc-
ton in the general relief funds for
her agency-as carried in the new
budgets approved. The bill would
permit caring for only about 1000
families month in this category,
while at present over $500 are being
assisted
THE load of work on the staff at
present is SO great that 1t Is inn
possible to discharge our responsible
ties with any feeling OF security"
Miss Hill explained. The budget for
next year carries an even smaller
appropriation than last year for staff
eXne0Ses she declared
Receiving Home Discussed.
Grady H. Leonard, superintendent
of the Receiving Home, in reporting
on conditions there cited a lack Of
facilities for recreation and segrega-
ton. He proposed new building be
secured providing a 45-bed capacity,
receiving wing for children detained
temporarily, creation of service staff
to work with police and an additional
staff member to plan and carry out
a recreational and educational pro-
gram for the children.
Work and needs of the other agen-
cies were explained by Ray L. Huf1,
general superintendent of the Dis
trict's penal institutions; Miss A. Pa
tricta Morss, chief TO the Child We'll
fare Division; DR.. James Lewald, su-
perintendent of the District Training
School; Frank B. Haskell, superin-
tendent Of the Home for the Aged

HAZARDS MENACE
ARCH|VE MATERIAL
Third Of Records Surveyed
Outside Building Held
in Serious DANGER.

More than a third OF tho archives
of the United States surveyed in va
rious places outside of the new Ar
chives Building during the past year
were seriously exposed to danger by
fire.
This charge was made b. r. D. w.
Connor, archivist of the United States,
In his annual report to Congress, It
was revealed yesterday.
Some Improvements had been made
in the situation during the past year,
he said. but pointed out that the haz-
ards still facing Government records
of many kinds outside the Archives
Building included not only fire but
dust, dirt, dampness, insects and other
types.
Fire Principal Hazard.
In the District, he pointed out one
of the most serious hazards is fire. In
this city 952 2,496 cubic feet, or 36.6 per
cent, of the entire collection of records
surveyed are exposed to fire hazard.
Records found subject to other haz-
ards include 1,071, 1862 cubic feet. or
41.2 per cent, exposed to or covered
by dust or dirt; 1914 cubic feet, or
~ per cent. exposed to the elements
through broken window panes, sky
lights or too much sunlight; 20S, ,434
cubic feet, or 8 per cent, stored in
dark and damp repositories; 74,065
cubic feet, or 2.8 per cent, housed in
insecure places of storage such as
on broken shelves, on the floor, or in
buildings with unguarded doors; 128,-
154 cubic feet, or 40 per cent. dam
aged by or now infested by insects or
vermin; and 1856, ,453 cubic feet, or So
per cent, exposed to varying hazards.
Access to many of these records Is
said also to be seriously impeded.
Reporting on progress in completing
the addition to the building in the
interior court, the archivist said that
when the whole building is fully
equipped there will be available total
of 2,033,712 cubic feet of document
area.
Much Film Accepted.
An interesting feature of the archives
work was said to be handling of mo-
tion pictures and sound recordings. OF
the 529,sS0 feet of motion pictures re-
ceived for inspection during the past
year, 34.9 per cent was accepted, 8.5
per cent was declined and returned or
otherwise disposed of, and 56.7 per
cent was retained for further inspec-
ton and study.
The large number Of requests for
services on its accessions of motion
pictures and sound recordings which
the National Archives was called upon
to render during the year, the archivist
pointed out, was evidence Of the keen
public interest taken in this phase Of
its work."
