80, dentist.
Attorney Hoffman said the council
recommended the operation be per-
formed on the left eye to arrest the
glioma threatening Helaine's life.
The eye, brain and X-ray specialists
had gathered to relieve the parents of
the responsibility of deciding the wisest
course for their child.
Attorney Hoffman said. the vote for
the operation was unanimous. Even
the father, he said, unconsci0usly
raised his hand when the motion was
put by DR.. Irving Cutter, dean of
Northwestern UniverSity's Medical
School and committee chairman.
Quickly, when the details we're
completed, Mr.. Hoffman said, DR.. Rob-
ert H. Goode of Garfield Park Hospital,
already familiar with the case, was
named to operate, in the presence of
all other members of the council.
The left eye and optic nerves were
removed and entrusted to DR.. Ed
ward v. L. Brown for study. A
committee Of eight specialists in x-ray
therapy was named to examine Helaine
after the operation and determine a
course OF treatment for the right eye.
DR.. Henry Coutard, formerly of
Paris and now associated with the Chi
cago Tumor Clinic, was among those
named to this committee.
Attorney Hoffman said DR.. Colan
cried in tension as the decision was
reached. 1t was ratified by two rabbis,
whose presence was demanded by the
baby's mother. Estelle. %. They were
Saul Silber. head of the Chicago He
brew Theological College, and A. E.
Abramowitz, of Congregation BNai
Israel. Rabbi Samuel Cohen of New
York, executive director of the United
Synagogues of America, had been in
vited to attend, but was not present.
Accept Decision.
The distraught parents, DR.. Her.
man Colan, 80. a dentist. and his wife,
Estelle. %, agreed to place the case in
the committees hands after a dra-
matte f1ve-hour family consultation.
The jury of 10 physicians-eye,
brain and X-ray specialists and two
rabbis-met this morning at the Gar
field Park Community Hospital, where
the 5-week-old infant is confined.
The disease has already claimed
the sight of the baby,s left eye and
impaired that of her right eye. One
specialist suggested an operation to
remove both eyes in a desperate at
tempt to halt the deadly growth. Such
course would leave her blind for
life.
DR.. Irving S. Cutter, dean of the
Northwestern University Medical
School. presided as chairman.
DR.. Hershman said the family had
received many letters from persons
willing to sacrifice one or both ewes
so the baby might be saved from
blindness.
There is no hope in our case Of
transplanting an eye." he said. Sight
Is lost irrevocably after Me optic nerve
is severed, which is necessary in He

Nine specialists were named orig
inally to the council, after a family
conference which lasted for five hours,

Pepper should be returned to the
Senate. 1t was one of three direct
blessings" the White House has given
senatorial candidates. The others
were bestowed by the President on
Democratic Leader Barkley of Ken
lucky and Senator F. Ryan Duffy Of
Wisconsin.
Administration supporters have con-
tended Senator Peppers victory DEM
onstrates that Mr.. Roosevelt should
strike a bold course by carrying his
policies directly to the country in the
primaries as well as in the general
election in the fall.
Norris for Plan.
Advisers of this procedure, chief
among whom is Senator Norris, inde-
pendent, of Nebraska argued also that
prompt action would minimize chances
OF complete split between the Demo-
cratic leadership and the La Follettes'
new Liberal party.
Reports have been circulating for
several weeks that Mr. Roosevelt might
tour the country this summer, al
though he has given no personal indi-
cation Of such course
Political interests would not have to
be the announced purpose Any ma
tional tour would give him oppor-
tunity to express favor for his chosen
candidates in train platform speeches
and friendly visits and in many other
ways
Senator Norris said the President
can either take the stump-by radio
and tell the people that those who
have opposed him ought to be de-
featec or he can be partisan and say
that all Democrats ought to be re-
elected"
Would Face Defeat.
Should Mr.. Roosevelt follow the
latter method he said, ne would face
defeat on jor issues in the next
Congress.
If I were the President" Senator
Norris added, Il would 60 on the
radio and say that a whole lot Of
Democrats had been elected on nv
platform and had turned reactionary.
and that these Democrats, aligned
with Republicans, had succeeded in
defeating some of my program and in
modifying some
Then I would say that if the peo-
pie believed in my program they
should elect Congress that believes
in 1t, regardless Of whether it is
Democratic. Republican, Progressive
or Socialist. If the people were op-
posed to the program they could vote
against the candidates that support it.
But We ought not to let men creep
in under party label and then thwart
the Presidents program"
MIR. Roosevelt disregarded party
labels in Senator Norris own case
during the 1886 election. The veteran
Nebraskan ran for reelection as an
independent with the Presidents ac-
tive support.

Burgin Takes Fight To Court
For Nomination To Congress
Files Action To Restrain Certi-
ficatiOn OF Returns Electing
C. b. Deane.

Raleigh, Aug. 11.-W. o. Burgin
filed in Wake county superior court
tonight an action seeking a manda-
mus to require the state board of
elections to declare him the eighth
district Democratic congressional
nomination.
He also sought an order restrain
ing the board from certifying re-
turns which gave c. B. Deane the
nomination by 23-vote majority.
Burgin was the apparent winner
on the basis of first returns. After
an investigation of alleged irregu-
larities, however, the board Tues
day declared Deane the nominee.
He also sought an order restrain
ing the board from certifying re-
turns which gave c. B. Deane the
nomination by 23-vote majority.
Burgin was the apparent winner
on the basis of first returns After
an investigation of alleged irregu-
larities, however, the board Tues
day declared Deane the nominee.
Certification Of the vote was post
poned until 10 o'clock tomorrow to
give Burgin time in which to take
court action.
In his complaint, Burgin attacks
the power Of the state board to re-
verse the previous certifcations of
the county votes, which gave him
majority of about 100 votes.
The amended returns, it is alleged,
were not voluntarily made by
those signing them, but were made,
instead, as result of the intimi-
dation, demand and coercion of the
defendant board or it's chairman, in
violation of the election laws
of North Carolina"
The change in the Qualification
was not made upon the basis of evil
dence before the county boards, the
complaint charges, but instead on
the basis Of statements by Lucas.

QUESTION: Can I keep chickens
in my back yard?


ANSWER: Many people, do but
the birds must be given careful at
tention. Don't overcrowd them.
It is better to have a few thrifty
pullets than large number of old
hens. Pullets are better or eating,
and they lay more eggs. Keep the
poultry house clean, disinfect it for
parasites and disease, treat the birds
as often as necessary to keep them
free from parasites. Plenty of fresh
water at all times, a good laying
mash, green feed, and grain are
needed. Table scraps are fed by
some poultry keepers, but don't try
to keep your hens healthy on such
scraps and nothing else.

QUESTION:: My tobacco quota
isn't large enough to cover all my
crop. Where can I get more quota
poundage?
ANSWER: You may have neigh
Dor who will have some poundage
left on his marketing card after he
has sold all his leaf. You can buy
his surplus for whatever price you
both agreed upon. Or you can get
your county Office or warehouse
men to get their card for you. When
you deal through them, the price
you pay the other grower for his
surplus quota will be five cents a
pound. If you have tobacco worth
more than 10 cents a pound, it will
pay you to buy extra quota pound
age at the price fixed by the AAA.
