COURT ALLOWS
PARSONS DELAY

Representative Claude v.
Parsons (D0 of Illinois has until
March 16 to prepare his defense
against a charge in the District
Traffic Court of leaving the scene
of an accident after colliding.
The Congressman was granted
the continuance yesterday by
Judge Hobart Newman when he
argued that pressing business at
the Capitol, particularly debate on
the revenue measures" would pre-
vent him from adequately answer
ing the charges this week.
Charges were lodged against
Parsons by Assistant Corporation
Counsel George D. Nelson upon
complaint of Mrs. Margaret Ellis,
2603 Connecticut Ave. N. W., and
her brother, Albert Nesbitt, a
Cleveland attorney, who alleged
that Parsons did not stop to de-
termine whether anyone had been
injured or any property damaged
following a collision with their
car on February 10.

OUTRAGE" CHARGED

The letter-a carbon copy OF
which was received by The Times
characterized the flogging as "a
sickening outrage" had some un.
complimentary things to say
about the wife-victim of Miller'S
rage, discussed provocation of the
assault, and counseled:
Don't kill your wife when
you get out Of prison. We know
you feel like it! But don't do it.

CHANGE APPROACH

A major problem for American
schools, according to DR.. Kilpat-
rick, is to "teach intelligent criti-
cism that will break the strangle
hold of the wrong ideas of sue
cess" He added that "apple pol
ishing" now applies to anyone tax
ing an interest in school activities.
IT have no doubt" he said in
charging that schools ere
ate emotional maladjustnent
among children" that great
amount of delinquency is
furthered, if not caused, by the
schools treatment Of the non
bookish child"
DR.. A. E. Morgan, chairman OF
iva, told the conference that the
youths today would be better If
they concentrated their efforts to
improving their local communities
instead of making "grandIoSe ef-
forts for international peace and
other vast achievements"

After all, children are born of g

wife's love for her husband, and
when they come into the worlc
they are wholely defenseless and
depend upon the only two in the

HUSBAND FIRST TO OFFER
My husband was the first one to
offer one of his eyes for our baby,
but he was turned down by the
doctors. They told him that
transferring the cornea of an eye
was similar to a blood TRANSMISSION.
If it weren't for the owner of
the mill where my husband works

opportunity to do what hope

to work in Mr.. Halls mill. The
next day "Sonny"-his real name

began to lose his sight.
Somehow Mr.. Hall heard of the

SO he could walk all over the

through life believing that God
had sent me cross to bear like
so many other mothers.
VISIT MEDICAL CENTER
Mr.. Hall offered to take us all
up to New York to the Presby-
terian Medical Center: We agreed
to go.
The doctors looked over the
baby and then decided they could
save mis- sight if they could OBJ
tain the cornea of one of our eyes.
They tested my husbands, but it
wasn't what they wanted. Then
they tested mine.
The doctor came up to me, after
the test, and he said:
"Your cornea is the one that
might save this child,s sight. His
left eye is all right, but the natu-
raj strain on his one good eye is
having it's effect. If you will al
low us to transfer your cornea
to your baby's eye he will have

Right away I said I would be
ready for the operation any time
I was called.
