DEATH OF MRS. H. P. MASSEY

l.
Mrs. Susan A. Massey, wife of
Henry P. Massey, residing near
this town, ended her life Of suffer-
ing on Sunday night last shortly
after II o'clock, in the 57th year
of her age. Hers has been a case
that excited much interest outside
of the circle of relatives and SYM
pathizing friends. Something over
year ago, the 18th of October
she accidentally fell down a fight
of stairs at her dwelling, in the fall
receiving injuries that completely
paralized her body and made her a
helpless invalid. After some months
she recovered partial movement
of the upper part Of her body but
not in very helpful sense. In the
midst Of her other Affections Incl
dent to a broken neck and paralyz-
ed body, in the winter she had a
severe attack of pneumonia in
which she experienced much suffer-
ing. With all chances against her
she finally pulled through and re-
civered from the disease But an
other and more fatal ralady,
Bridght's disease, resulting from
the low state of nervous vitality
consequent upon her injuries, was
what finally ended her life. Some
weeks ago an article appeared in
one of the Philadelphia papers
which was widely copied, state
ment that Mrs. Money had been
living all these months with a
broken neck. This of course eX-
cited great interest with the medi-
cal fraternity as well as the public
generally, for it is rare in cases
where they survive such injuries at
all, that it exceeds a few weeks. In
an autopsy made by DR.. Dwight on
Monday he found his suppositions
were not only correct as to the
fracture of the neck but that one
of the vertebrae had at the same
time been dislocated just above the
shoulder. The broken Vertebrae
had in the meantime united and
healed and the disease of the spinal
cord produced by the injury having
subsided she might have lived for
sometime yet but for other caus-
es. Hers is a rare case in medical
surgery, and for the interest and
benefit Of the profession will prob
ably be described scientifically in
one of the medical journals All
was done for Mrs. Massey that
could be done medically and by her
friends to help alleviate her c5ndi-
ton. Her mental faculties were
undisturbed until temporarily to-
ward the last, yet in the midt Of

Citizens Consider
Developing Public Plot

The possibility of development Of
the IL acres of Fort Dupont Park,
north Of Ridge road S. E., by the
Bradbury Heights Citizens Asso-
citation was considered at its meet
ing last night in the Methodist Epis-
copal Church.
The land has been set aside for
recreational purposes by the Ma
tional Capital Parks Office, Henry
Austin, association president, said,
but development will not begin until
other work already under way or
scheduled has been completed. This
will take several years, he estimated.
Pointing out that the Bradbury
Heights Garden Club was consider
ing identifying a privately owned
vacant lot for playground, Mr..
Austin suggested that If it were
agreeable to the National Capital
Parks Office 1t might be better to
work on the park property, clear of
the brush and set up playground
equipment.
He reported many children play In
the streets and said boys baseball
team must go 21a miles into Mary
land for a suitable diamond.
Mr.. Austin also urged erection OF
a school at Forty-fourth and H
streets Sc, across the street from
the park area. suggesting immediate
acquisition, before land values soar.
Slow progress on the Burns street
sewer was scored by members.

Tony. boy, hope we can find II"
His face wore look Of grave con-
Germ as he began hunting. I'VE
can't afford to lose a cent" he kept
saying. Furtively he watched Leah.
She looked ashamed and little
frightened. This was certainly a
good plan. He felt a little guilty,
but managed to throw off the feel
ing. She needed to be taught a
lesson.
Tony waited until Leah looked as
through she were on the point of
bursting into tears, remembering
that she had been saving for new
hat and knowing she couldn't have
it unless they found the money.
Then he ambled into the bathroom,
and, chuckling to himself, reached
into his pocket.
A startled look came into his face.
He reached into his other pockets.
They were all empty.

ed. And Leah was careless the way
she handled it. Sooner or later
she'd lose some. They couldn't
afford that.
Suddenly 1t occurred to Tony that
this was their first major crisis.
Somehow he'd have to break Leah
of her habit without a quarrel.
Then like a bolt from the blue he
had an idea.
It was the next Saturday noon
when he came home from work
that Tony discovered three ones and
a two-dollar bill on the bureau
where it had been absently dropped
by Leah while she rescued the roast
from burning. Furtively Tony
scooped up the money and stuck it
in his pants pockets. Sooner or
later Leah would discover 1t was
missing. Shed become concerned.
She'd ask him to help hunt. He'd
make pretense Of hunting and then
pretend to find the money where 1t
had blown into the bathroom. All
but one dollar. He'd pretend one
dollar had been really lost. This
ought to impress Leah, ought to
make her conscious Of her folly,
break her of the habit.
That afternoon Tony went playing
golf. All the while he was gone,
while he was in the locker room and
on the course and later In the
showers, he kept thinking of Leah
hunting for the missing money.
He came home an hour earlier
than he had planned. The moment
he saw Leah's face he knew she had
discovered the loss.

pAlCoo.
Then one day Tony came home
from work and went into the bed
room to freshen up for dinner and
found two flve-dollar bills, a one
and some change lying on the bu-
reau. He scooped up the money
and brought it out to his wife.
Hey" he said good-naturedly,
I'VE can't afford this. I found this
money lying on the bureau. 1t
might have blown away. Don't be
so forgetful!"
Leah smiled. "Oh my!" she said.
did I leave the change from the
grocer there?"
They had been married six
months when this happened. A
week later Tony discovered a dollar
bill where it had been idly dropped
on the living room table and for
gotten.
Listen, honey. you've got to be
more careful. Money is pretty i'm
portant to us right now"
I'm sorry" said Leah, "bit It's
only a dollar"
1--WE can't afford to lose a dollar
or even a part of a dollar" Tony
said, smiling.
The next time-the time Tony
discovered three dollars on the
kitchen table and one on the floor
where it had been blown-he didn't
smile.
Good gosh. woman! Show lit
tie more consideration, will you!
If I hadn't noticed that dollar on
the floor 1t would have been lost"
Things hadn't been going too
smoothly with Leah that day. Be-
sides. she had a headache.
Darling" she said altogether too
precisely, 1--WE never lost penny
Of your money"
How do you know" asked Tony,
bit smugly.
Because" said Leah, Just as
smugly. II can account for every
dime you've ever given me"
Hal" said Tony. Lets see
you"
So Leah got a pencil and paper
and her movements were very delib-
erate-and she sat down and figured
out her expenditures, to the last
penny.
We'll" said Tony. that doesn't
mean you won't lose some If you
continue to be careless. After it's
gone-well. you've heard the crack
about locking the barn door after
the horse has been stolen"

1t would be just the same if l

just as well be split into kindling
wood TO start somebody's fire.
Here is a man who weighs only
ITO pounds. just a sturdy little blue
eyed boy with an all over coWlick
for a haircut. Yet he has played
360 consecutive minutes against six
OF the toughest football clubs in
America. They haven't even had
10 call time out for him. He has
run into and tackled the biggest
guys in the biggest league without
once landing on the flat OF his back
He just ducks a shoulder, tucks a
chin behind it, and pours it on. He
isn't fast and he isn't tricky al
Juggling the ball. There is nothing
cute or fancy about his running
He plays it the tough way.
But he is as tricky as a snake
on rock or a red-headed gal when
it comes TO throwing that ball OF
calling plays that capitalize TO the
fullest the smallest chink in the
armor Of his foes. He knows how
to fake when he fades back to
throw a pass, and when he lets il
loose even Annie Oakley would have
