The only answer Ora Mae Carver,
5-year-old winner of IA District
beauty contests and judged to be
the fifth most beautiful baby in
America in 1899, has to all the blood

has to take is, Put a top on my
head and I'll be a pill bottle"
Ora Mae, who is suffering from
an acute leukemia, is reported to
be in a serious condition at Provi-
dence Hospital. The daughter of
Mr. and Mrs. Howard E. Carver,
1923 Minnesota avenue Sc, she has
been i'll since May and confined to
the hospital intermittently since
that time.
A favorite with the hospital staff,
Ora Mae for the past year has been
one of the most popular attractions
at USO centers throughout the city,
where she has entertained soldiers
with her acrobatic and tap dancing.
Never Sick Previously.
Never before sick for even a day,
the youngster has long blond curls
and wide blue eyes. When asked
to show just where the blood trans
fusions have been made, she
stretches out two tiny but chubby
arms family marked at the elbows
with many tiny blue dots.
: She's quite used to these blood
transfusions by now.
For the most part she Is cheerful

brought her. However, the other
day when she was quite i'll she re-
fused to speak to any one and later
explained to her mother that she
was tired and the doctor had told

were enrolled In the recent intensive
recruiting campaign that was high-
lighted by q parade and pageant.
While the goal for additional re-
cruits has been placed at 10000,
Capt. H. c. whitehurst. director Of
the District Civilian Defense De-
partment, said he was pleased with
the results and felt sure additional
volunteers would sign up. He said
he felt the campaign also had
served to revive interest in defense
work among the $4,000 workers pre-
viously enlisted.
Drive Continues to September 10.
Capt. Whitehurst announced the
recruiting campaign would be con-
tinued to September 10.
The District government was the
source of the largest number Of new
volunteers. The drive brought in
1885 new volunteers from the
municipal establishment. Next
highest was the air-raid warden
service. which signed up 1874.
Edward A. Dent, District assessor,
who served as chairman Of the Dis

Sharp improvement
Noted as Result Of
Cleanliness Drive
Restaurant Association,
Grocery Chains Aiding.
DR.. RuhIond Says

A sharp improvement in sanitary
conditions in grocery stores and eat
ing places has been noted as a re-
suit of the drive to clean up such
establishments, the Health Depart
ment reported today.
Health Officer DR.. George c.
Ruhland said his Office had received
the wholehearted support of the
Washington Restaurant Association
and other groups in its efforts to
stamp out breeding condi-
tions. Grocery chains and whole
sale dealers also were joining in the
campaign, he said, circulating
pamphlets urging store owners to
clean up their establishments and
instructing them in particular points
to observe.
Says Courts Are Aid.
The current drive does not mark
a new intensification of the Health
Departments efforts to maintain
sanitary conditions. however, DR..
Rutland said. He declared the de-
partment has waged an unrelenting
battle against uncleanliness but
that the courts recent action forcing
accused grocers and restaurant own
ers to stand trial on charges had
lent added force to the drive.
Another important factor, he said,
was the discrimination of the Dis
trict governments practice of issu-
ing licenses to stores over the
Health Departments objections.
Grocers Fined.
Meanwhile, the drive to stamp out
insanitary conditions in groceries
gained momentum in Municipal
Court yesterday when four grocers
were cited on health violation
charges. In addition, two restau-
rant owners were fined on health
violation charges.
During the last month the en-
phasis in the campaign against
health violators dealing in food has
been on restaurants. This week,
however, seven grocers have faced
court action on health violation
charges.
Two grocers yesterday were fined
$25 each by Judge John P. Mcmahon
and two others were permitted to
forfeit $25 collateral when they
failed to appear for trial.
Defendants Listed.
Those fined and the charges are:
Isaac Louis Asrael, 5504 Fourteenth
street NV, many gnats and flies,
trash and garbage on floor of base
ment;" Philip Steine, 2403 Benning
road NE, uncovered garbage cans
in rear yard which contained de-
composed chicken"
Forfeiting collateral were David
Gilbert, 1700 First street NV,
many flies in store, and on fruit,
cakes, pies and in a meat case;;"
William Booth, 5503 Fourteenth
street NV. large pile of garbage
and trash in basement of store"
Fines Of $25 were imposed on
restaurateurs Max A. Bassin, 8l1

d. {. Health Officials
To Weigh Ending Of
Day Milk Routes
Preventive Measures Seer
Advisable to Avoid Illness
Among Children

Whether daytime milk deliveries
should be abandoned to avoid spoil
age will be determined by an in
vestigation by District health au-
thorities, it was decided yesterday
after conference between Health
Department officers, dairymen and
representatives Of the District
Medical Society and the ONCE OF
Defense Transportation.
Health Department records fail
to show an abnormal increase in
throat infections and gastro-intes-
final ills among infants and small
children using milk, but DR.. George
C. Rutland, District health officer,
deemed it advisable to take preven-
tative steps.
Principal advocate of the return
to night milk deliveries was DR.
William De Kleine, chairman of the
medical society's Public Health
Committee. He attributed much
spoilage to milk left at homes
where working mothers were not
present to provide proper refriger-
alton.
Responsibility for the daytime
delivery order was denied by Will
liam M. Tobin of the local ODT
office. who said dairy officials had
voluntarily inaugurated the present
system 10 months ago when it be-
came necessary to conserve tires and
gasoline. Daytime deliveries made IL
possible.for drivers to collect month
ly bills while serving milk, thereby
avoiding return trip.
Mr.. Tobin said his Office has a
plan to put into effect within two
weeks to coordinate regional deliv-
cries to the milkshed here, but indi-
Gated that the method of home de-
liveries was for dairies to decide.
Dairy spokesmen denied there had
been many complaints about milk
spoilage under the present system,
and said that any attempt to revert
to nighttime deliveries would Gre
ate a serious manpower problem.
Records of almost 5000 babies
cared for in local medical clinics
showed no increase In ailments
traceable to spoiled milk, but DR..
Ella Oppenheimer, director of ma
ternal and infant welfare, pointed
out that canned milk was recon-
mended for most babies.

Type { Blood Is Sought
As Clergyman Has Relapse

Another appeal for type c blood
for the Rev William H. Jackson, COL
ored clergyman who must return to
Freedmen's Hospital this afternoon,
was made today by Gertrude B.
Stone, assistant captain of Red
Cross nurses aides there.
Since being discharged from the
hospital last January, when he was
critically Ill from a gangrenous con-
dition which resulted in the ampu-
tation Of his right foot, Mr.. Jack
sons health had steadily improved.
But checkup at the hospital last
week disclosed that he is suffering
from anemia and according to DR..
E. c. MaZique will require addi-
tional transfusions.
Persons wishing to make blood do
nations should report to the hos
potal between 6 and 8 pm.

Helpful Around House.
At home. Mrs. Carver said, Ora
Mae was a great help around the
house. She could wash and wipe
dishes as well as any groWn-up and
just recently was learning to bake
cookies.
For the past several days she has
had great longing for italian
spaghetti and yesterday her father
promised to bring her some in the
afternoon.
Il have to have it in the daytime, u
she explained, because I have to
have medicine at night"
Ora Mae was judged the fifth
most beautiful baby in the United
States as a result of the Eighth
Children's National Photographic
Contest which was conducted by
the National Association OF Departs
ment Stores in 1889. Since that
time she has been the winner Of IA
local beauty contests. In 1910 she
was crowned queen of the Food
Show at Riverside Stadium by Miss
America.
Ora Mae has two brothers, Roy,
8, and Roger, 16 months.
According to health officials, acute
leukemia is contracted most fire.
qusntly by the healthiest type of
person. 1t comes in two stages, acute
and chronic. Although various forms
of irradiated PHOSPHORUS are OF
some use In the chronic case, no cure
has been found for the disease.
Acute leukemia, health officials ex-
planned, Is rapidly fatal and blood
transfusions are used only to sus-
tain the patient a little longer.

Balloons of this type proved a
big factor in London's defense
against the Nazi blitz. BY expert
ence the Germans learned they
could not fly low for straflng pur-
poses. Not only did cables keep the
Luftwaffe from piercing this defense
but the presence of these floating
"sausages" enabled the British to
concentrate heavy antiaircraft fire
against the invader.
Inflated with helium, the balloons
are operated and controlled by q
ground winch. +.

The spectacle will be a Joint Army
Treasury affair. the Army handling
the purely military features and

Engineers, has a representative on
the site. AS rapidly as plans are
received, his Office will put them
into effect, Col. Renshaw said.

ings and space allocations have been
made. The Air Forces will have the
largest space Of any single Army
section, with captured enemy planes
on exhibit as well as American
equipment.
