The committee also will 60 further

brown bread is q steamed bread

pumpernickle is q hard, black

Mr.. Den Dooven then pointed
out that the first loaf of bread
was baked by the Egyptians. It
was rough bread and the Egyp-
tians were rough people-at the
time. AS years went on, and
bread became refined, the Egyp-

Oddly enough, Mr.. Den Dooven
says pumpernickle is not Ger

Dooven gives its history in this

on his way to conquer Austria.
He stopped in little village in
Westphalia. There, some one

Magma Charta 0rigiina|
To Be Turned Over
To Library Today
Government Officials
Invited to Attend
Ceremonies

An original of the Magma Charta
was headed today for sanctuary in
the Library of Congress.
The document. one of four copies
made at Runnymede in 1915, was
in the possession of the British Am
bassador. who planned to turn it
over to the Library at 4 pm. today.
The Magma Charta, which stands
in English history as the document
guaranteeing freedom from tyranny
Of the British crown, will be placed
alongside the Declaration Of 1nde-
pendence and the Constitution,
which guaranteed Americans free
dom from the same tyranny.
Government officials have been
invited to attend the ceremonies
at the Library. Archibald MacLeish,
Librarian of Congress, was desig-
mated to receive the document from
Lord Lothian, the British Ambassa-
dor.
1t has been on exhibit at the
New York Worlds Fair during the
summer and according to present
plans will remain in the Library for
the duration of the war
The same 24-hour guard which is
given the Constitution and Declara-
ton Of Independence will be charged
with care of the Magma Charta The
other three copies of the Magma
Charta are in England, two in the
British Museum in London and the
other in the Salisbury Cathedral.
King John acquiesced to the docu-
ment following a revolt among his
barons. The Magma Charta limited
his powers and was the corner stone
on which the British system of gov
eminent was built.
King John didn't sign the docu-
ment. He couldn't write.

Eight Escape

Fire Here
2 Passing Men Help
Rescue Families
In Apartments

Eight persons, including a g.
month-old baby and two young girls,
escaped uninjured this morning
when they were routed from their
beds by fire that broke out in the
basement of grocery store over
which they lived at 500 Twelfth
street NE
Mrs. Elva Anderson, 20, told re-
porters she was led to safety, with
her infant son, Vernon Lee, in her
arms, by an unknown man. Mrs
Dora Deigen, wife of the stores pro-
prietor, George O. Deigen, also said
stranger had helped her daughters,
Shirley, 10. and Annette, 7, and her
self down the smoke-filled staircase.
Mr.. Deigen was not at home at the
time.
Mr.. and Mrs. Frank Martin and
their daughter, Alice, 18, were the
other residents who made their way
to safety. Miss Martin said she be-
lieved two men. one of them a pass
ing taxicab driver, aided in the
rescue work, with one man being
momentarilly overcome by the
smoke.
Firemen said every one was out
of the burning building when they
arrived, and police gave the name Of
Eugene Mothershead of Bladens-
burg, Md, as the principal rescuer
The fire gutted the cellar and
f1ared up through the store, eating
the beams above but doing little
damage in the apartments. Fire
men said they believed it was
caused by rats gnaWing electric
cables and causing short circuit
Shortly thereafter another fire
was discovered in a grocery in the
400 block of Thirteenth street NE
It was started, police said, by boil
ing rags on a hot plate which
flared up after having been left on
the heater all night. Damage was
negligible.
Police said there were no suspi-
cious circumstances in these fires
which might link them to activities
of the fire bug who terrorized the
Kalorama-Mo Pleasant area
early Sunday morning by firing
seven apartment houses.
An intensive investigation was
underway today following forma-
ton of a special squad composed OF
veteran detectives. A suspect, said
to resemble the "taI, dark men,
seen in the vicinity of the chain
of fires Sunday morning, was re-

Relief Sought
By 0ne,Tenth
Of virgiiniians
$50 Of 87,H4
Households Found
To Be Eligible
By the Associated Press.

oy the Associated FreSS.
RICHMOND, Va, Nov. 28-James
w. Phillips, director of the Bureau
Of Public Assistance in the Depart
ment Of Public Welfare, said today
that during the fiscal year ended
last June 80, applications represent
ing approximately one-tenth of the
States population passed through
the 122 local welfare Offices.
Twenty-Five per cent of the 87,774
households were found to be eligible
for assistance or services Of various
types. The applications included all
persons seeking reference to the w.
P. A., the N. Y. A. and the c. c. c.,
as well as requests of judges, trial
judges, superintendents of various
State institutions, doctors, school
officials, health officers and others
seeking services for persons and
families not involving the expend-
iture of public assistance funds.
while 79,107 cases were under
care at one time or another during
the year." MI. Phillips reported.
"only 48.7 per cent were given bene-
fits under the Public Assistance Act
and no more than 80 per cent re-
ceived benefits during any one
month"
Charges Answered.
The public assistance bureau
director sought to answer state
ments which he said had been made
charging that there were "a lot of
malingerers on relief" that once a
person gets on relief he never gets
of. and that most "reliefers" get
more on assistance than they ever
had before. Z.
"Nine-tenths of all the persons
receiving public assistance were
either physically or mentally handi-
capped, or in families without an
employable breadwinner," he said.
'Of the 1926 households that re-
ceived benefits either classified or
general relief in June, 1899, 1892
needed aid because the bseadwinner
was incapacitated by reason of age.
935 because of blindness, 4,749 be-
cause of real physical or mental un-
employability and 2,549 because
children were deprived of support
on account of the death or disability
of one or the other of their par
entS. ."
AS to "reliefers' not getting of
the rolls. Mr.. Phillips said during
the last year over so per cent OF all
cases of all kinds received aid less
than six months of the year, and
in the largest single group 81 per
cent received aid for only two
months. Only 21 per cent received
aid every month in the year.
AveSaEe Aid S6l.79 a Year. 3 ~
While 1t may be true that some
on relief get more assistance than
they had before, he said the average
aid given to a complete household
was $56.l7 a year in the counties
and s7248 a year in the cities. For
the whole State it was SOL .79 a year
Mr.. Phillips said this also indicated
the high percentage of grants for
temporary aid such as medical care,
children's shoes, etc.
DR.. William H. Stauffer, the well
fare commissioner, in a report to
the Governor, estimated that Vir-
ginia needed 100000 a year more
than the present appropriation for
an adequate program of public as
sistance. The appropriation for the
current year is $1,726,000.
