perior human beings ever stop to
think that there are many things
about them that the girls don't
like talthough I will confess that
most of us like the boysl.
However. lets make a list OF the
things a girl likes to find in a
boy. She likes:
One who pays attention to her
and carries on no cheap filtration
with another woman while in her
company.
A generous man.
A gentlemen at all times.
One who has confidence in him
self yet knows his limitations
this goes especially for dancingD.
One who isn't forever sneaking
looks at himself in the mirrors.
Who doesn't have a line"
Who doesn't try TO impress peo-
pie who wait on him.
Who never arrives way too
early, yet NEVER arrives too late.
Who Is immaculate in his sp-
pearance yet gives no impression
Of thinking about his looks all the
time.
That Is the sort of a young man
a girl likes. Why can't we find
more like him. BILLY.

&C. {. Reorganization
Plan Hit by White
BY the Associated Press.


Senator White, Republican, of
Maine yesterday denounced the ad-
mlnlstration's proposal to reorganize
the Communications Commission.
He said it was crude in draft,
wrong in principle, political in pur-
pose and sinister threat to all
our communications"
The real purpose of the legisla-
ton, he said in statement, was
to centralize power over commune
cations in the hands of q commits
sion chairman and Ito force out
OF office men who think for them
selves and who act independently
and courageously"
No legislation is needed, Senator
White asserted, to bring reforms in
the framework and administrative
machinery Of the commission.
The bill he attacked was intro
duced recently by Chairman Wheeler
Of the Senate Interstate Commerce
Committee after conferences with
Chairman Frank McNinch of the
Communications Commission. It
would reduce the personnel of the
commission from seven to three
and abolish they present commits
donerships.

toy typewriter with which she
copies numbers and letters from pre-
scription labels on medicine bottles.
She has dolls, paint books and
other toys of normal child Her

smiles. And she smiles frequently.
But she'd rather be in school, she
says.
Came Here Too Soon.
If Betty hadn't come to Washing
ton so soon she might have found
facilities here to care for children
afflicted as she is. The Advisory
Committee on Handicapped Chill
dren, headed by Mrs. Henry Grattan
Doyle, is making an exhaustive study
OF methods throughout the United
States in caring for crippled and
otherwise handicapped youngsters.
Members of the committee have
visited Baltimore's Baer School.
They know that Washington stands
near the bottom of the list when it
comes to providing the educational
needs of hundreds such as Betty in
the Nations Capital.
For four years the Board of Edu-
cation has been asking for an addi-
tional appropriation to provide
visiting teachers for the city's
"Bettys," but each year the request
has been chopped from the Dis
trict's needs either by the Commits
sioners or the Budget Bureau. It
has never reached Capitol Hill.
Last year 1t was the Budget Bureau
which cut the item.
A temporary step forward has
been made through the District
Works Progress Administration,
which has provided II visiting
teachers to aid children confined to
their homes and hospital clinics.
But Mrs. Doyle will tell you this
work merely scratches the surface.
While Betty awaits a Washington
"Baer School," or other educational
provisions deemed by the commit
tee as best for Washington. Betty
will keep up, as best she can. her
homemade" education and listen
to the-strange blend of noises from
her second story window.

Betty Calman, T. spends most of
her day listening to q strange blend
Of noises.
From her cushioned chair near
second-story window on downtown
E street, she hears the music and
voices, coming from her radio, mix
with the creak and hum of traffic S
wheels on the street below. Betty
has been a stay-at-home most Of
her life. She is a victim of rheu-
matte fever.
But with all the days distracting
noises, Betty, in her childish ways,
takes time frequently to compare
the educational systems of WASH
ington and Baltimore.
She had lived in the Maryland
city until last October, when her
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Edward CAL
man, moved here to manage a res
taurant.
Betty had grown accustomed to
Baltimore's famous Baer School for
handicapped children, with its
health treatments and bathing pools
for cripples. There she had no steps
to climb The efficient corps of
teachers saw to it that the children
did nothing to overexert themselves.
When Betty was unable to attend
school, tutors were sent to her home
at the expense of the city.
On one occasion when she had to
stay at home and rest for nearly
two months, she passed the equiva-
lent Of full sessions work.
Came to Washington.
Then she came to Washington.
Mrs. Calman, hoping that her
little girl was strong enough to at
tend school as a normal pupil, en-
tered her at Thomson School. Wash
ington had no "Baer School,"
Betty had to climb steps and
otherwise engage in activity which
had not been necessary in Balti-
more. Seven weeks ago, Betty came
home complaining that the joints
Of her limbs panied her. Her par
ents knew what that meant. The
fever had returned. Her little heart
was taxed to the limit by the NAL
ady for which science knows no
complete cure.
She had to have complete rest.
she has rested since then.

Doctors Describe
New Remedy
For Pneumonia
Clinic Is Told of
English Drug
And Serums

Experiments with a new English
drug and with serums for higher
types Of pneumonia which are not
generally available were described
to the postgraduate clinic of the
George Washington University
School OF Medicine today by Drs.
Theodore Abernethy and Harry F.
Dowling.
They were carried on chiefly
among patients at Gallinger Hos
pital in connection with the pneu-
monia control program for the Dis
trict authorized by Congress a year
ago and which in eight months has
reduced the fatality rate among in
digent patients from rs to a little
over 6 per cent.
Not Generally Available,
The drug is sulfapyridine, a sui
1anllamlde variation, which was
nrst described in England last Nav
and is not yet generally available.
Dr. Abernethy told of treating 50
cases with it. These included 2l
OF the 32 known types of pneumonia
out nearly half of them were of the
very prevalent type I. There wa.
a death rate of per cent, which

Blame for Deaths Fixed.
The credulity of physicians coupled
with the methods of high-pressurt
drug statesmen were blamed for the
elixir Of sulfanilamide tragedy which
took LOT lives through the South
last year. the physicians were tolt
by DR.. George B. Roth, professor
of pharmacology.
Doctors can protect themselves
from such tragedy in the future
he said, by restricting their pre-.
scriptions of proprietary medicine.
to those which have been tested
and approved by the American Med.
ical Association. There are now
he said, IA brands of sulfanilamide
which have secured this approval
and none of them possesses any
advantage over the others.
The drug, he said. is an old one
well known for years in the dye
industry. and hence cannot be pat.
ented. Only the name can be regis.
tered by a drug manufacturer.
