1t was only the third time
in Knox's adult life that he
had an illness sufficient to
froce him to bed. The grav-
ity of his condition was not
known, however. The Navy
suffering from a castro.
said yesterday that he was
intestinal upset complicated
by dizziness.
At the time Of his death
the Navy - already capable
of assembling 1,00O-plane
assault forces against the
Japanese - was steadily
building toward the Gle
mactic battles of the Pacific
and the invasion Of Western
Europe.
1t was believed that the man
Knox selected as his undersecfe-
tary, Forrestal. would act as sec
rotary. at least until after the poli-
teal conventions next summer.
President Roosevelt nominated
Knox MS secretary OF navy on June
20. 1910. just before the Republican
National Convention At the same
time he named another Republican,
Henry l.. StinS0n, as secretary %
war. KGoS took office on July H.
1910.

CARDINAL
O'CONNELL
LAID to- REST
By JOSEPH NOLAN
UNITED Press Staff Correspondent

UNITED Press STAN Correspondent
Boston, April %. - (UP)
= William Cardinal O'Con-
nell was paid final homage
as a Prince of the Catholic
Church today in the mourn
full Splendor of a funeral
Mass accorded high ecclesias-
tics and kings, and at simple
committal services in a
gothic crypt on a Brighton
knoll he loved so well.
In the incense-heavy Ca
thedral of the Holy Cross
were dignitaries of Church
and State who came from
throughout the nation to
participate in the solemn
high Mass of requiem for the
beloved Archbishop of Boston
who died of pneumonia Sat
urday.
In the narrow streets without
milled perhaps 10000 who, though
denied admission, participated in
the ritual broadcast over amplify
ing systems. On the roof-top OF
the Cathedral's convent across the
way, nuns knelt in prayer. Nearby,
on a factory roof, were workers
kneeling with rosaries clasped in
their hands while the brilliant
spring sun streamed down on their
bowed heads.
Never had the death of any man
brought such q city-wide tribute
Most stores closed during the three
and half hour ceremony. Munich
pal offices were closed. So We're
many bars including those In ho-
tells. Newspaper columns were filled
with announcements by many es-
Establishments that they would be
shut down as a tribute to the dead
prelate.
Thousands of faithful attended
special Masses in the 1875 parishes

of thousands throughout New Eng
land listened as the Rev. Michael
j. Ahearn, s. j., broadcast the i'm
pressive ceremonies over the radio
The huge stone Cathedral In the
citys south end where the Card
inal's body had lain in state since
Monday was jam-packed, with
hundreds finding a vantage place
in the aisles. Late-comers were de-
MED admission though they had
tickets. However, o squad OF police
aided late-arTiving Bishop Bernard
j. Shield of Chicago to reach his
place in the procession,
Led by q cross-bearer, purple
vested Monsignori marched down
the center aisle between knights
of Columbus Guard-passed the
Catafalque where the Cardinals

By the Way
Blaine

Are you one of the hundreds OF
women who have completed the
Red Cross home nursing course?
And if you had illness in your own
home didn't you find that that
training helped immeasurably in
showing you the proper way to
care for your own family? Or II
you are lucky enough to have had
no illness in your own home, don't
you wish that you could utilize
the knowledge that you gained In
the home nursing course by help
ing to care for other i'll people?
Well, here, ladies, is your chance,
and it is a chance to give such an
important bit of nursing care that
the appeal comes from the city
health officer, DR.. George c. Ruh-
land. DR.. Rutland has asked the
Red Cross for so volunteers who
are graduates of the home nurs-
ing course to work at Glenn Dale,
the tuberculosis sanatorium at
Glenn Dale, Md.
Now if your first thought is
What is the danger of infection?
Will I be running any personal
risk?" The answer to both is
that you will be SO carefully in
structed in the technique of this
particular hygiene in the eight
demonstrations which will be
given you at Glenn Dale before
you are allowed TO work with the
patients, that chances are about
10 to l you'll run LESS risk of
contracting the disease than the
average woman who is doing a
job far removed from hospital.
And here's how you'll help the
community as we'll as the pa
tients by volunteering. You will
be making it possible to keep
Glenn Dale filled to its regular
capacity and thus prevent the
patients who are being cared for
there from going into homes
where the same precautionary
measures could not be taken, and
where the disease would be bound
to spread-endangering the fam
lily and the community. If it's
the transportation problem that
worries you, the Health Depart
ment is arranging for that-both
to and from the sanatorium.
