Bishop England of Charleston, who
ranked very high in the estimation of
his brethren, investigated this miracle,
published an account of it, and appended
to his narrative the aff1davits of 81 per-
sons, all of whom testified to the
miraculous nature of the event.
Mrs. Ann Mattingly, widow, aged "a,
residing with her brother, the Mayor of
Washington, had been afflicted for six
years with hard and painful tunor
which four of the leading physicians of
the city pronounced incurable, and for
which they prescribed only palliative
applications and medicines. She suffered

erected by Thomas Carbery, Mayor of
Washington from 1892 to 1924.
Mayor Carbery was born in st. Marys

eighth child of a family Of II children.
He bought the Seventeenth street prop

there of brick residence, which was
probably completed in 1919. 1t was
while living there with his widowed sis

Ten years ago Lucille Ball ar
rived in Hollywood as chorus

she was born the John Murray

remember her film debut as a
showgirl with Eddie Cantor in
Roman Scandals which won
her a short-lived stock contract

Then came a minor role in

more executives than pictures.
With every role at RKO, Luz

STATE DEPARTMENT
TAKES OVER


Fourth, and most important OF
all, the reshuffling of these gov
eminent operations was a tre-
mendous victory for Secretary
Cordell Hull and the State De-
partment, by reason Of the fact
that the policy making on all
non military foreign operations
of all government agencies is
now TO be managed by the State
Department and hereafter all
loose ends are TO be tied togeth-
er through the foreign service
officers of the State Department.
Secretary Hull has been pre-
pairing for this step for a long
time. Two years ago, almost
without notice, new Board of
Economic Operations was ere
ated in the State Department
under Assistant Secretary Dean
Acheson. Some time later, the
Department established new
post, Counselor of Embassy for
Economic Affairs. First appoint
ments TO this new position were
made in the Latin American
capitals. Extension of Board Of
Economic Operations TO other
countries means simply that the
