Afraid Survivor
Warns Of Danger
Of Falling Shrapnel
Apt to Cause Greoter
Casualties Thun Bombs,
Dr.. SoIzmon Soys

During an air raid shrapnel from
anti-aircraft guns is much more
dangerous to the man in the street
than the bombs of enemy planes,
according to DR.. Leon Salzman, re-
Gently appointed assistant Mont
gomery County health officer, who
has been through several and almost
became casualty in one.
DR.. Salzman also recalls sleeping
through an air raid, even though
the hotel in which he was staying
was on fire.
The instructions to get under
cover during an air raid, even if you
are driving your car, cannot be
stressed too much, DR.. Salzman ex-
planned. Otherwise, casualties from
falling shrapnel will be greater than
from enemy bombs.
Close Call In Bristol
After graduating from City Col
lege Of New York, DR.. Salzman at
tended the Medical College OF the
University of Glasgow, completing
his course in June, 1910. AS chair
man of q committee to arrange for
the return Of approximately lbs
medical students and other Amer
leans in Great Britain, he visited
various cities to confer with officials.
In Bristol he had his first close call
during heavy German air raids.
Never having experienced q full
scale raid, he walked some distance
from the underground shelter to
watch. He heard bombs exploding
in the distance and then the British
anti-aircraft batteries opening up
a deafening barrage. Nothing hap
pened for a few moments until he
heard things striking the ground
around him. 1t sounded a little like
hail at first, he recalled. Just then
somebody grabbed him by the arm
and hustled him back to the shell
ter as the full force Of the shrap-
mel fired at the enemy raiders began
falling.
"A medium sized piece would have
enough force to kill . person in
stantly," he said.
Slept Through Fire.
After several weeks of that, dur
ing which he never had q whole
nights sleep, DR.. Salzman and a
fellow student determined they
would sleep in their London hotel
room, rather than 60 through an
other night In shelter. During
the night incendiary bombs set the
hotel af1re and employees tried to
awaken them.
I'VE were 20 tired that We could
not even get out Of bed and they
finally let US alone" he said.
DR.. SalMman returned here In Oc-
tober, 1910, and after his internship
at Metropolitan Hospital In New
York, was appointed to the United
States Public Health Service IS
assistant to County Health Omcer

Budapest Quartet
Opens Whittall
Concert Series
BY ALICE EvERsMAN.

The series of six concerts of
chamber music which the Budapest
String Quartet will give Saturday
afternoons under sponsorship of the
Gertrude Clarke Whittall Founda-
ton was begun yesterday.
The size and enthusiasm of the
audience testified 10 the popularity
of the Budapest artists and their
programs, Two of the numbers were
broadcast. The Brahms Quintet
in r Major, Op, IS" completed the
hst and in this work the quartet
was assisted by Milton Katims,
violinist.
The feature Of the concert was
the Quartet" by John Alden Car
penter. which. like others OF his
ensemble works, was played without
pause. For some time now the Buda-
pest Quartet has been broadening
Its repertory with chamber music
by composers other than the older
masters Of this mode. The choice OF
Carpenters Quartet" as that OF a
representative American composer
was happy one since II Is beau
tiful work both in construction and
content.
1t was especially appropriate that
the series should open with the
Brahms Spring Quintet" as the
r major work is known. It's fresh
ness and lovelineSs. with prominence

under the spell Of lyrical inspira-
ton. The five artists played II

1856 Pounds of

Far outstripping any previous
mark for collection of newspapers,

Victory Campaign. Stuart Junior
High School on Friday turned in a.
SOC pounds, nearly 5000 pounds
ahead of the record of 1927 pounds
marked UP on Tuesday by Garri-
son.
Stuart, with a school enrolment
of l,i30, in this huge collection
averaged between 40 and 81 pounds
per student in the school, a per
capita mark in one day which was
better than that for the entire cam
paign for many of the schools.
Total collections for last week
were 262,063 pounds, the highest
week on record by more than $1,000
pounds. This brought the grand
total to 2.446, ,733 pounds, almost half
way to the 100000 pounds.
Collections Grew Steadily.
stuart was a slow starter in the
campaign, collecting only 23S pounds
In December, 1895 in January and
4,74s In February. However, that
upward momentum brought the
school into its stride In March and
starting with the first week in
March the collections have been
2,3o4 ,2,s62, ATS, 9,724, 5,4o9, 6,778
and then Fridays record-breaking
1885.
In this one day Stuart students
have earned si4o.62 for use of its

Stuart frst broke into the select
group of rs leading schools on
March "a, Just reaching 25th place,
then moved up steadily until before
last weeks drive the school had
reached 10th place. With Fridays
big collection Stuart jumped to 9TH
place.
Stuart's mark was so spectacular
that it overshadowed other results,
yet several other schools made ex-
cellent advances. J. r. Cook. for in
stance, went far beyond its pre-
vious high with 1886 Cook, which
was inadvertently left out of the
per capita rankings in divisions 10
to Is, had a per capita mark Of
1894 pounds up to this week.
Powell Junior had another II ,o0o-
pound collection, 12,l62 pounds, to be
exact. Alice Deal, which only once
had been over 800 pounds, sud-
denly jumped way up among the
high scorers with 1851, more than
double the amount the school had
gathered since the start of the cam
paign.

alyZe the situation carefully after
the dummy goes down. South has
bid clubs and spades in that order.
He probably has four spades, with
five or more clubs. Both suits must
be strong. 1t would be unduly OPP
tinistic to count on West for more
than one trick in the black suits
together, besides the top hearts
shown by his lead.
South may have a singleton heart.
Probably he has no more than two.
Where is the defense to get four
tricks?
East would like to make his king
of diamonds. The differences from
the bidding indicate that the de-
clarer will be able to discard dia-
monds from dummy on his own
club suit, after the trumps are out;
and he will have at least one trump
left in dummy then to ruff out
losing diamond in this hand.
About the only hope is that West
will switch at once to diamonds
and establish the king for East.
Then If West has one black stopper,
the diamond king may make.
So East follows to the heart king
with the deuce, even though he
has the jack to support continual

West cannot read this response
for a request to switch. Remem-
Der that the negative response Is
necessarily ambiguous. 1t says, II

tinuation Of this suit" But 1t can
not indicate whether the respond

In view of his top strength IN

Glow East has a chance to make
his wish plain. He follows wiki
