Broader Activities Urged
For Two Health Schools

Broadening Of the activities of the
Allison and Toner health schools to
care for physically handicapped
children as well as those showing 1
tuberculin reaction. has been rec.
commended by Health Officer George
c. Rutland in a letter to School
Supt. Frank W. Ballou, made public
yesterday.
In place Of the closing the doors
OF the two schools to all but crippled
children, as has been recently pro-
posed, it has been recommended
that the two health schools make
facilities available for all types of
Handicapped children"
DR.. Ruhland, speaking with the
approval Of his tuberculosis Advis-
ory Committee, said maintenance of
the separate schools solely for chill
dren who happen to show a positive
tuberculin reaction is unnecessary.
These children should be permitted
to attend regular school classes,
provided rest periods are permitted
them at regular intervals during the
day, he said. DR.. Rutland said
those children with active tubercu-
losis, as distinguished from merely
tuberculin reaction, should be sent
to the Glenn Dale Sanatorium.

Thousands Storm Stadium
Hours Before Game

MUNICIPAL STADIUM, Phila-
delphia, Dec. 2 R.-Though the
day was gloomy and the festive
mood had been spoiled further by
announcement from Washington
that President Roosevelt wasn't
coming, thousands of customers
stormed this mammoth arena to-
day good two hours before the
scheduled kickoff time in the 40th
Army Navy football game.
They found the board seats wet
from last nights rain, and the grid
iron covered with tarpaulins. But
the candy butchers, program sellers
and other vendors of eatables and
drinkables were there in goodly
number.
For once, it appeared, the 104, 900
spectators were due to be favored
by comparatively pleasant condi-
tions. The weather forecast was
rain, but there seemed good chance
of the skies clearing before the aft
ernoon-and the game-were over.
Besides, it was warm, practically a
world record for this rivalry. The
field looked in good condition.
In downtown Philadelphia scalp
ers, as usual, were left holding the
bag and trying to get rid of it. They
were seeking to unload $40 tickets
that two days ago would have
brought as much as $40 copy for
an even SO and less.
The Weather Bureau injected
somewhat cheerful note with the
announcement that showers might
hold off until after the battle.
Split-Second Timetable.
Debarkation of the regiment of
Midshipmen and Corps of Cadets
from their special train at 1880
am. E. S. ID started the array
of pre-game activities. A split
second timetable called for the 1890
middies to march in at 1915 pm,
deploy over the field, then take
their seats, followed at 1882 by the
head of the column of 1900 cadets.

Land Sees Navy Victory.
Admiral Emory S. Land, head of
the Maritime Commission, who also
was on the Navy special, was ready
to predict that Navy is going to
win, "but it will be an accident"
On the other hand, Secretary
Woodring had no doubt that Army
would be victorious, and told Secre-
tary Ickes that as long as he was
going on the War Department spe-
cial, he would have to cheer for the
Cadets.
One young couple was slightly
confused as to their afhliation.
Were riding up with the Navy" the
girl conided, but we're cheering
for Army"
The crowd that poured through
Union Stations gates was strictly
democratic. There were college girls
in whoopee socks, housewives in
galoshes, and debutantes in silver
foxes. Most of them were lot
more cheerful than the men, who
had to sprint for the trains with
blanket-robes under one arm and
their girl friends clinging to the
other.
Airplanes Grounded.
The fog which hung over the city
grounded airplanes at Washington
Airport. The Weather Bureau
warned of the possibility Of oc-
casional light rain.
Fog was so thick at the airport
that visibility was only one-eighth
of mile, and the ceiling to the fog
was 2 miles up. But as long as
visibility remains at one-eighth of
mile, everything will be o. K. for
the game, the football fans said.
Even in Philadelphia big municipal
stadium, you can see that far.
The Weather Bureau said condi-
tions in Camden and New York we're
not quite SO bad, but there was some
fog there. Planes flying from New
York, however, passed over WASH
ington. None had left the local field,
nor landed here since last midnight.

Sandburg Discusses
Finland With President
BY the Associated Press.

oy VIC hSSoSldIeo 1900
Carl Sandburg, poet and Lin
coin biographer, said he told Presi-
dent Roosevelt yesterday in dis
cussion of Russia's invasion of Fin
land that nations, like individuals,
are inclined to be overly self-right-
eouS"
Finland is one of the best-run
democracies in the world" the
white-haired author said, land we
are all naturally melancholy about
what's happening in Finland.
Its also a melancholy feeling we
have when we look back into our
own history and see time when
Congressman Abraham Lincoln and
Senator Thomas Corwin of Ohio
both lost their seats because they
opposed an imperialistic war that
we conducted against Mexico"
Mr.. Sandburg said he called the
Presidents attention. in connection
with the present European situa-
ton, to Lincoln's opposing the Mex
ican war and to claims of other
public figures at that time that
this country had been invaded by
Mexico.
He said he also told Mr.. Roose-
velt about an Illinois farmer whose
neighbors accused him of being
greedy about land and the farm
er's reply:
II amt greedy about land. I
only want what jines mine"
Mr.. Sandburg said he had driven
many times over the citrus fruit
territory between Corpus Christi
and Brownsville, Tex, and it was
such good country that he was now
glad we took it,"
Sensing the apparent conflict in
his statements, the author merely
added:

Of their records against big time

that Army has scored only five
