May Cost
Millions

NEW YORK, March 10 G.N.S)
Losses that may run as high as
ten million dollars when all
things are considered" may be in
volved in failure of the Richard
Whitney & Co. brokerage firm
Leslie Gould, financial editor o.
The Journal-American. said in his
column today. He added:
"At the minimum the loss is
four million dollarS-a lot of
chips in any game.
THE net debts Of the part
ners to the firm are $817 900.
The firms debts are $1,250, 900
to banks and $474,000 unse-
cured to j. P. Morgan & Co.
There is no telling at this time
just how good the securities be-
hind the bank loans are. Some
of them may be stock from Gus
toners accounts or that little
applejack stock that the firm
was stuck with-now worth
fraction its former value.
There is no record Of how
much the personal debts Of Mr..
Whitney and his partners
amount to. 1t is known that
Whitney for several months has
been making touches on his
personal friends and brokerage
acquaintances, as well as at
banks he was not accustomed to
patronize before. These debts
may be a million dollars, and
probably a good deal more. Many
stock exchange governors and
members were nicked.
Then, George Whitney is
understood to have advanced
his brother somewhere between
$2,00O,00O and $2,500,000 in re-
cent years.

By PAUL CALICO

InternaHO Service staff Correspondent
NEW YORK. March 1ORchard Whitney, president OF the
deunct Richard Whitney Co. brokerage firm, given
of the of his firm including those OF Gus
tonnnrs securities asserted flaY today.
The Washington times., 1938-03-10

The accountant testimony was
Eiven coincident with opening OF
twin criminal Investigations by
the United States attorneys Of
flee and the district attorneys
office into the firms collapse.
The ederal inquiry was
launched by Gregory F. Noonan,
chief of the criminal division OF
the United States attorneys Of
flee, who said he would present
any law violations to q Federal
grand jury.
QUIZZES CASHIER
Barent Ten Eyck, observer for
District Attorney Thomas E.
Dewey, began his investigation by
questioning Robert j. RoSenthal,
cashier for the Whitney firm.
Whitney and Company was SuS-
pended by the Stock Exchange
Tuesday and in a public state
ment, Richard Whitney, its preSi-
dent, and several times governor
of the Stock Exchange, admitted
Irregularities for which he held
himself solely responsible.
MOVES SWIFTLY
Moving swiftly the State attor-
ney generals office opened inves-
tigation and today Bernard
Abramson, senior securities &C
countant for the attorney general,
testified that a receipt dated Jan
uary 26, 1888 showed the extent
Of Whitney's liability to his firm.
Included in the monies given
him AbramSon said was several
hundred thousand dollars"
To the record, Martin ]. Keena.
assistant secretary of the New
York Curb Exchange. also contrib
uted information that a group
presumably the Whitney interests
had tended to corner" the
stock of Distilled Liquors Corpora
ton through acquiring 10000
shares of its outstanding 14S,710
shares.
ADMITS PLAN
"It doesn't need much more
to make it a complete corner,
does it?" asked Assistant Attor-
hey General Ambrose Mccall.
NO" admitted Keena.
Meanwhile it was estimated that
loss in the Whitney crash may
run as high as ten million dollars
and at least four million. Net debt
of the partners to the firm is $817,
900, while the firm owes $1,250, ,00C
to banks and $474,0OO unsecured
to ]. P. Morgan and Company.
Damaging to the Whitney cause
was the testimony Of P. r. Herring
ton, public accountant who audited
the books of the New York Yacht
Club.
UNABLE TO CHECK
After the audit had been com
pleted, he told Mr.. Mccall, he wa!
unable to check his audit because
Of the fact that he could not gel
an appointment with Richard
Whitney and Company for the
purpose Of counting the stock Ger
tificates belonging to the yacht
club.
He said that each time hi
phoned he was told Whitney was
out and that he failed to reach
him in four attempts, although he
left word with Whitney'S Secre
tary for this purpose.

colicky baby, am going to tell her to do just the best she can, until the v.lree or six. months of tummy ache are over.
 The subject of this chapter, how ever, Is not nourishment or its prob lens, but rocking the baby and walking the floor with him..
 Possibly nothing has caused more debate in points north, south, east or west than the old rocking chair. What should be done about it?
 Keep it, dear mother, not to rock Jackie every time he gets tired of bed, or has 8 pain, but because every once in 8 while, you might want to lift him and hold him close while you croon little lullaby. He is yours to enjoy. and never knew a mother who did not long to do this very thing.
 Easy to "SpOiP'
 It is quite easy for him to learn to expect rocking. It is your prob lem to fix the habit, so he won't give you any peace. But it is so easy to establish expectancy, so he won't close his eyes in slumber un- less he is gently swayed to a sooth- ing tune.
 He is just smart enough, too, to put on an act, and pretend collie when he hasn't any such thing, es- pecially if he has really had some bad days, and learned to dread the slightest little twinge. Hurry, ma ma," his cry says, tits coming again. I'm almost sure it is anyway. I'd feel much better over your shoulder or turned on my face. over your lap"
 Nothing can equal baby's cry for irritating us beyond endurance. But when we hush 1t too often, it just keeps on pleading its own case.
 A nice comfy bed is about as good a place as any for baby to "suffer" in. What he doesn't know doesn't hurt him. Again. repeat that train- ing begins right in the crib.

 Yourself

Now is good time to consider giving your skin real spring clean ing. Special cleansing stimulating and softening treatments will be of great benefit.
 Unless you went south for few weeks or were unusually conscien- tious about outdoor exercise, the chances are ten to one that your skin tones are sallow.
 You begin by getting yourself in the pink of physical condition, of course. This means adequate sleep, much exercise, more vegetables, sal ads and fruit than starches and sweets in your diet. It means, too, fresh viewpoint-a real desire to look your very best in your new spring clothes.
 If your skin is oily, start cleaning it every night with complexion brush and plently of warm soap suds. Then pat on cold skin tonic or else put piece of ice in towel and rub it lightly over face and throat. Never rub ice directly on the skin. Afterward, pat on a night cream made especially to lessen the flow of oil from the flores. In the morning, wash again with soap and water, use a greaseless foundation lotion rather than cream.
 If you compleXions is dry, use soap and water only at night. Pat on lotion or rub with ice in a towel. Then apply your richest night cream and pat it in. In the morn ing, cleanse with cream, and use one of the cream foundations which give the skin a slightly moist, flow er-petal look.
 A special cleansing treatment, rec commended for all types of skin, makes use of olive oil and lemon juice. Wash face and throat with soap and water, smooth on olive oil, pat it in for a second or two, remove the excess with cleansing tissues. Now apply fresh lemon juice from base of throat to forehead. With circular motions, rub one small area of face or throat with finger tips.
 Keep on rubbing until the lemon juice is dry and you feel tiny bits of debris underneath fingers. These will be composed of dry cuticle Moisten fingers again and keep on rubbing until the little balls no longer form. Then move fingers on to another spot. When you have finished, face and throat will be glowingly pink, and completely free of dry, flaky skin. Pat on cream immediately afterward.

SPRING STYLE SONG HAS HIGH NOTE OF-
STYLE SONG HAS HIGH NOTE OF- Tailored Trimness With a Casual Air
By MARIAN YOUNG

(NEA Service Staff Correspondent)
 New York.-It's not an easy trick, but they do it! The spring fashions of 1888 manage to combine exceeding trimness with casualness. And there is something of this type to suit every figure, regardless of age.
 Suits are highlighted, but the re- turn of the separate long coat is an event, after so many seasons of neg lect. For the woman who just can- not see herself in suit, this is well come news, especially as some of the new coats are full of novel details and are gay in two-colored combi- nations or fattering in soft pastels.
 There are 8 number of suit styles to choose from. The tunic jacket, either wrist or fingertip length, snugly fitted through the waist and hips and often fastened with zip- per, is the newest. The straight, box jacket, also of varying lengths, is also new and both these vie with the more classical tuxedo, or the jacket with 8 flat or fluted basque, for favor.
 Skirts are almost as varied. There is the swinging, all-pleated skirt accordion or box-pleated-which is very hard to resist because it is so youthful, but which is full of pitt falls for the unwary for this very reason. Only the slimmest, long legged type can wear a skirt like this well.
 There still remain the straight, pencil-slim skirts which are, how ever, wide enough to walk in, thanks to cleverly concealed pleats and the slightly flared type. Lengths are also matter of individual ad- justment, and while there is ten- dency to shorter skirts, still they vary from twelve to fourteen inches from the ground.

the disease is clinically cured, ar rested, and the Wasserman blood test confirms this opinion.
 Another disease formerly deemed hereditary by physicians, still so regarded by many laymen, is tuber- culosis, consumption, as it was once called. We know now that tuber- culoSis is never inherited indeed it is rarely congenital. If the mother is tuberculous when the child is born the child is almost certain to con- tract the disease unless immediately removed from contact, from expos ure to the infection. Of course if either parent is physically below par, in impaired health, of deficient vite the child is not likely to be so vigorous. But in any case tuber- culosis is never inherited; it is con- tracted by infection through pro- longed intimate association with a person who has the disease in an active stage.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1938-03-22
INHERITANCE OF DISEASE


 Among the many popular stories of inheritance of acquired charac- ters, deficiencies or diseases is the one of the cat that lost her tail by accident and subsequently, had some kittens without tails. This yarn may have some foundation, but the only explanation for the birth of tailless kittens would be coincidence. Ger tain races of cats are naturally short-tailed, and you can't always be sure of even a good cats ante cedents. Docking of the tail has been practiced for many generations in sheep raising, but no racial short ening of the tail has been observed. One investigator amputated the tails of mice for nineteen successive gen. erations, yet not mouse ever in- herited the mutilation.
 Texas fever in cattle is caused by a parasite introduced into the blood by tick which is the carrier of the disease. The parasite is present in the egg-cell of the tick, so that the young tick which develops from the egg-cell is bound to contain the tick. If the parasite were a grain of sand the young tick would har- Dor it at birth. There is no question of inheritance here.
 Hereditary" syphilis, visiting the iniquity of the father upon the chil- dren unto the third or fourth gen. eration, is no longer recognized in pathology. We know now that syph- lis may be transmitted from father to mother, from mother to child be- fore birth. that the child so infected may be born with Syphilis-this called congenital syphilis, present at birth-but if the child is not syphil- itic at birth there will be no mani- festation of the disease later. What ever iniquity of the father is visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation, it is not syphilis. Believing it would do more harm than good to describe the signs or symptoms of syphilis in the newborn infant or the child few weeks old, we will merely say that no man or woman who has been in fected with syphilis need despair of having healthy, normal children if he or she conscientiously takes treat ment over a sufficient period of time and remains under treatment until the physician gives his opinion that
