couldn't do it because he was

He dearly loves a quarrel and he

REAR ADMIRAL
 DIRECTS RESCUE

Portsmouth, N. H., July 24 = (UP)--Rear Admiral Cyrus w. Cole turned from saivaging the sunken submarine Squalus yesterday long enough to direct the rescue of 228-pound woman who had fallen overheard from a pleasure craft IA miles off Portsmouth.
 Mrs. Dorothy Holland, 48, of Ports- mouth fell from the yacht Spray shortly after a Coast Guard picket boat ferrying Admiral Cole to the Navy Yard left the side of the salv- age tug Falcon. Captain Eugene B. Grenier of the Spray sought to rescue Mrs. Holland, but the yachts skiff capsized. '
 Boatswain's Mate Royce w. Per- kins, commanding the picket boat. maneuvered to the woman's side and Navy divers, lining the gum vale, placed a bowline under the woman's arms.
 When the line slipped as they started to haul Mrs. Holland into the boat, Diver Frank Conwell leap- ed in to keep her above water. Not until two other divers had gone to Grenier's aid was the bowline frightened enough so the woman could be rescued.
 T weigh 228 pounds and I guess I'm quite a handful" laughted Mrs. Holland.

CERTAIN BELIEFS
 MUST BE UPHELD

London, July 24-(UP)-Church of England clergymen must uphold the Virgin birth of Christ, the resur- rection and other religious miracles in their public teachings, the Arch- bishops of Canterbury and York, spiritual heads of the church, an- nounced today.
 The announcement was published in the Diocesan Gazete of the Bishop of Ely, the Rt. Rev. Bernard O. F. Haywood, as reply to pe- tition by 5000 clergymen.
 A deputation of which the bishop was member had petitioned the upper houses of the church convoca- = tions of Canterbury and York for assurance that historical clauses of the Christian creed mean what they said and nothing else. The convoca- tions were unable to give the assur- ance, and 5000 clergyfnen appealed to the archbishops.
 The Archbishops ruled:
 If minister felt obliged to ex- press definite denials of historical facts in creeds this would be incon- sistent with his responsibility as an authorized teacher of the church"

 State police said the only hope that the boy survived was that he had wandered below the timberline and kept from starvation by eating berries that grow abundantly in the region.
 Two bloodhounds, flown from Hawthorne, N. r., earlier in the week, were returned yesterday. Their paws were bruised badly by sharp stone surfaces on cliff edges to which they twice led searchers.

HAZARDS REDUCED BY PRENATAL CARE
Early Registration Urged By Medical Authorities;
 Statistics on Results

Despite the fact that prenatal care + now universally recognized to be essential for the safety of women and their newborn infants, nevertheless, every year many ex- pectant mothers fail to place them selves under medical supervision early enough and so jeopardize not only their own lives but also those of their babies, according to the statisticians of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. They point out that among women receiv- ing prenatal care from that com- panys visiting nurses, one half put oR registration until the last three months of pregnancy.
 While registration at any date prior to confinement is of some as- sistance, the need for early registra- tion is well recognized the statis- ticians say. Fer example, it is gen. erally agreed that the safeguard against albuminuria and eclampsia, the second most frequent cause of puerperal deaths, lies in prevention which depends upon the early detec- tion and the prompt and energetic treatment of the toxemia as soon as 1t shows itself. It is also recog- nized that other hazards of preg- nancy and childbirth can be reduced by adequate prenatal supervision of the expectant mother by a qualified physician"
 The statisticians discuss the com- pany's experience with group of over $500 maternity cases attended by its visiting nurses. Of these wo- men, 2,386 lived in an area com- posed of Greater New York. Long Island and Westchester county, and 3,426 in southern section compris- irtg the states of Arkansas, Louisi- ana, Mississippi, Oklahoma and Tennesse. The experiences of the two areas were much the same, ex- cept that a slightly larger propor- ton of the northern women regis tered early in pregnancy than in the southern group. In each group approximately one half of the first prenatal visits were made in the last trimester of pregnancy, approxi- mately two fifths in the second tri- mester and only slightly more than one tenth in the first three months. AS many as 12.1 per cent received their first visit in the last month of pregnancy.
 Certainly these figures confirm the general impression that far too large proportion of expectant mothers put of too long going un- der observation" the statisticians declare.

FARLEY TO SAY
 GOODBYE TODAY

Hyde Park, N. Y, July 24-(UP) Postmaster General James A. Far ley says goodbye to President Roose- welt today after conference that many believed had shaped the course of the Democratic party in 194O.
 Farley, chairman of the Demo- cratic National Committee, came here to spend the night in the pres- ident's home on the heels of reports that he might dissolve, his political partnership with the president, an alliance that showed overwhelming victories in the 1882 and 1886 pres- idential campaigns.
 He has denied reports that he has decided to oppose MT. Roosevelt If the president should run for a third term. He said that he could not be responsible for such stories and that whenever he had anything to say on that, or any subject, he would say it in public. He did not meet with newspaper men on his arrival from New England yesterday, but he in- dicated that he might talk with them before he leaves today. He will sail Wednesday for six-week va cation in Europe.
 Reports that Farley had decided to turn against the president on the third term issue were regarded as premature. His conference last night, however, was expected to set the stage for presidential deVelopments within the party during the next year.
 The conference came as congress completed action on the Hatch bill. which would prohibit political ac- tivity of federal job holders. The measure was expected to be on the presidents desk when he returns to Washington Tuesday. It was believed he would sign 1t into law.

Van Schyndle is slowing becom- ing petrified-victim of a creeping disease which has puzzled physi- clans. They have progressed little beyond classifying 1t with long Latin name - "myositis ossificans progresiva."
 Despite his position among the ranks of the living dead, Van Schyndle has cheerful mien and an untroubled philosophy. He com pines this with a macabre wit as is illustrated by his request to try moving his head. When efforts fail, he remarks:
 T am a true blockhead."
 The only external organs the man of stone" is able to move are the voluntary muscles which control the eyes, mouth, wrists and fingers.
 Says Health's Excellent
 However, Van Schyndle boasts that he has excellent health, He asserts:
 T haven't had stomach ache or other ache during the past few years.
 "The doctors and nurses held me to 8 fruit diet for a while, but 1t didn't seem to help; so since then I've eaten lots of everything.
 My last pill went down the hatch on Jan. 13, 193l."
 The patients blood stream is de- posting layer after layer of calcium in place of tissues. Doctors say he will die when the hardening process strikes & vital organ, and they give him only a few years, at most, to live. .. .....r Van Schyndle has been suffering from the disease for p years and has spent more than 13 years in the hospital. When the ailment was noticed in 1914, he went to Montana in an unsuccessful effort to halt its spread.
 One of the most astounding things about this man is that he manages to earn a living. He does 1t by knitting sweaters, pillow cov- CTS, doilies and similar objects. His stock is then placed on movable stand and the patient is wheeled out into the hall to sell his wares to other patients.
 Included among objects on his stand are religious pieces, and in these he does brisk trade.
 Uses Hand Loom
 Van Schyndle has fashioned a miniature hand loom on which he works. He also has taught another bedridden patient, Louis E. Neje- do, 80, Green Bay, to knit.
 Louis helps me in making the goods" Van Schyndle said. Hes kind of crocheting partner.
 We have regular knitting bees, but we get done faster than the women folks"
 With the aid of long handled knives and forks, the patient is able to eat his meals-which are as large as the normal person con- sumes - without assistance except for drinking tea or coffee.
 There used to be pillows on my bed" Van Schyndle relates unhcs- itantly bringing out facts about his strange life, but they were nui- sance, as I couldn't feel them any, way; so they were taken off,"
 Van Schyndle's constant cheer fulness and pleasant philosophy are the admiration of the nurses.
 This man who is slowly turning into stone also has tip for the tired business man who can't take time off for an extended vacation.
 Go to @ hospital" he recom- mends. And adds:
 Tn 8 hospital, there's plenty of quiet, rest, messages, diets and steam baths"
