Red Cross Appeals
For $1,000 More
New Members
keefer Cites Additional
Responsibilities Due
To CONSUMPTION

The District Chapter of the
American Red Cross entered the
next to last week of its Roll Call
today faced with the necessity of
enrolling more than 1900 new
members if the goal of 10000 is
to be met
Campaign officials pointed out,
however, that prospects of attaining
the goal can by no means be con-
sidered diSCouraging. Enrolling
was stepped up last week, about
10000 persons having been added
in each of three days.
Red Cross headquarters reported
that 2,278 members had been en-
rolled this morning up to 1880
o'clock, bringing the total member
ship up to 55,405 1t also was stated
that the total amount collected was
SIS. 722.27, $270O of which was sub
scribed today.
Meanwhile, Brig. Gen. Frank R.

responsibility on the Red Cross in
connection with its program in the
Army, Navy and Marine Corps.
Social problems will arise as the
military personnel is augmented"
he declared, land dependency
probably will develop in many
families of service men or through
home conditions that require those
families to live with relatives.
LAS the Red Cross acts as a
medium of communication between
the men of the Army and the Navy,
between the people Of the United
States and the military and naval
authorities, we recognize the duties
we shall be called upon to meet.
Our chapter anticipates no diff

affected, provided we have the as
Surance OF successful Roll Call"
He added that conScriptees and
their dependents will be included
in the Home Service responsibility
of Red Cross chapters. During the
past year, he said, more than 1000
service men, veterans and their
families were assisted in compensa-

Mechanical Aid for Baby's
Outside Heart SOUGHT

The infant born Saturday with
her heart outside the chest cavity
was still alive today as Gallinger
Hospital officials sought to obtain
an instrument invented by DR..
Alexis Carrel and Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh known as the artificial
heart"
The baby's heart continued to
beat at about the same rate as 1t
did at birth, DR.. Edgar A. Bocock,
Gallinger Hospital superintendent,
said.
The baby who weighed pounds
at birth, was being kept in an in
cubator and fed through a medi-
cine dropper.
Although DR.. Bocock said he
understood the artificial heart"
invented by the famed scientist and
the equally famous flyer had never
been used in a case like this, an
attempt is being made to get an
instrument from Rockefeller Insti-
tute. It's purpose is to help the
heart continue to beat.

Death Spurs Move
To Improve Road
Stretch ON Route From
Capitol Heights Area
To D. c. Is Unpuved

The death of motorcyclist Sat-
urday night spurred citizens groups
to renewed action today to seek i'm
provement of a stretch of unpaved
road which connects Sixty-third
street NE. with Maryland Park, Md.
The road, which runs across the
Baskin's estate, is much used by
motorists travelling to and from
the suburban area around Capitol
Heights. It is the most direct way
into the District from that area.
For some time citizens have been
seeking improvement of the road,
contending it was serious menace
to safety The death of the motor
cyclist, Robert L. Genella, q, of
Hyattsville, was cited to support
their contention.

Administrator Philip Fleming has

However, If the work week starts

Mr.. Fleming said he read the law
to mean the revision applied to the
first full work week beginning on

added that such an Interpretation
would mean that the revision would
not apply to the work week begin
ming Monday October 81.

which leads to the private road.
There are warning signs at the
point where the paved road ends,
he says.
Apparently Mr.. Genella had con-
tinued along the road without real
izing that State maintenance had
ended. His machine hit a rut in
the dirt road and he was thrown
off and fatally injured
Mr.. Shapiro, along with citizens
committee from Capitol Heights, has
long been active in seeking improve
ment of the road. At first the group
approached representatives of the
estate which owns the property and
offered to pay for improvement of
the road out of their own pockets.
Offer Rejected.
This offer. they say, was rejected
on the grounds that the estate might
be held liable for injuries to persons
using the road. Then the group
called at the District Building and
conferred with highway department
officials.
These officials said the District
would improve the road if the owners
would give them permission. But,
according to the citizens group. rep
resentativeS of the estate again
turned them down.
Mr.. Shapiro said today he would
attempt to get the group together
again to renew their efforts.

 Gregg Cassidy has been buster than usual attending auctions. He recently won two copies of Aesop's Fables, printed in 1904. for a very reasonable price. Gregg is study ing up on the Greeks but he reads local town histories, too.
 Rumor has it that a New York lady is seeking location for tea room here in the village. We've got the spot, right down near Bridge Plaza. A tea room or a sandwich joint would certainly pay in this community. Now our folks have to go to Roxbury or pause at The Films for a sandwich, except when the Ladies Aid is giving a church supper or lawn festival. for several years, we've thought that q good Russian Tea House would go over big here. We could feature fried eels in season and serve felt-boOt-cider cocktails as added attractions.
 About a week ago, every horse jockey from seven townships cranked up his Ford and headed for an auction on Park Road in Waterbury. Only two horses were for sale but when the horsemen arrived they found plenty of oth- CT excitement in a hog auction. Johnny Shcrtt attended, and Jim Cassidy drove down from Beth- lehem, but the pig bidders grab bed the spotlight.
 The hogs were not corraled fin the usual manner but wandered lOcce at will. The same was true of the prospective purchasers. Out Of the ruck lowered the auction eer, gruff fellow who took no foOiing. Black, white, and spotted pigs looked over their new mas ters apEraisingly and then tried to hide. The bidding started with the bidders gathered around a bunch of frightened hogs ranging in size frcm a watch charm pork CT to sway-back old SOW about the size of a piano box. More than 100 pigs covered as the auction eer pointed out 3 special critter and loudly snOuted: How much for that supreme example of a bacon hog over therc!"
 When a pig was knocked down to a buyer. the job of identifica- tion became acute. Pig-catchers hustled about among the porkers and, when they caught a pig that had been sold, they attached a little brass clip to his ear. Those clips were not sorted properly and there were two Number shoats, one of them stout gentleman with a tighSly curled tail and the other sad little pig that want ed to join up with Walt Disney but never had the chance.
 Bidders who bought Number 8 pigs had to settle their differences by themselves. The auctiOneer had seen so many pigs that afternoon that he couldn't remember, so when the rabble sorted out their hogs and got ready te load, he just sat down on an overturned swill pail and mopped his brow. Finally, as at all auction parties, the buyers got the pigs they paid for and departed.
