SYNOPSIS

y oI Old
"Agsie" is the familiar name for
Or. Agamemnon T. Plum, "a, pro-
lessor and bachelor. whose Aunt
Sarah has dragooned him into COM
ing with her to Rainbow Lodge, the
family summer home at Indian
Stones. Upon arrival, Aggie finds
Henry II. Bogarty's card impaled
BY a hunting knife on the front door
frame. Hank" had wired Sarah,
an old friend, suggesting "a new
grubstake.' Jim" Calder, a brok-
er. called. After a clash with Ag-
gle, he left. Old John, the family
butler, told Aggie that Calder had
lost lots of money for Indian Stones
investors. The knife. left on the
porch rail, is missing. Late that
night, Aunt Sarah became very i'll,
and Aggie motorcd for DR.. George
G. Davis at Medicine Lodge, near
by. The doctors daughter, Da-
%nielle, escorted Aggie to where her
father was working in his photo
graphic dark room. DR.. Davis re-
turned with Aggie. While the form
er examined Sarah, Aggie from the
porch saw a dog or fox. Next morn
ing, Aggie calls on his aunt, quar-
antined for humps. Sarah says that
Calder's son, Bill (whose marriage
to Martha Drayton was one OF
Sarah's matches) seems unduly in
terested in Danielle Davis; and
she tells Aggie to keep tabs on
them. She also reports that Jim
Calder did not return home last
night. At the club, Aggie meets its
manager, Jack Browne, a boyhood
playmate, who told him of a family
tragedy and denounced Jim Cald-
er. Then he introduced Beth Cald-
er and her escort, Ralph Patton, to
Aggie. Later Aggie is "bawled
out" by Bill Calder for cutting IN
on a phone conversation between
Bill and Danielle concerning rem
devious at Garnet Knob to which
Sarah sends her embarrassed ne
phew. He is listening when Bill
says to Danielle: You'll make
trouble"

is evident when we remember that
Berthclot knew nothing about the

in his list. How much do We still
not know about the exact chemical
composition of a complete and bal

All animals and especially the
human animal have adjusted
themselves through several hum
dreds of thousands Of years to the
digestion and absorption Of the
food which suits the needs Of their
organisms. The digestive processes
alone require many glands and
many feet Of stomach and intes-
tines. They are designed to take
care Of a good deal OF bulk in the
form Of food. Heaven knows how
we would throw them Off balance
with "a little heterogeneous tablet

that the waste would be terrific
and the heterogeneous tablet and the
pat Of fat would have to Get bigger
and bigger TO replace the amount
that flowed away unused.

Medicine from Red Cross.
LET me put in a word here for
the Red Cross" he continued. "We
got Christmas packages in 1912 and
1943, and can't begin to say how
much they meant. You've read about
our slim rations. A little rice, little
camote-it's like sweet potato
and dried fish powder was our main
diet near the end.
But even more important were
the Red Cross medical supplies
which enabled our doctors-they
were wonderful-to almost work
miracles.
IF 1t hadn't been for the Red
Cross a lot of our boys who got back
never would have made it
Due to a change in his home

CoIoneley for Kelly
Blocked Because He
Posed With Medley

A bill to increase The rank Of
Superintendent OF Police Edward j.
Kelly from major to colonel was
blocked in the House yesterday be-
cause OF a newspaper picture show
ing the police chief posed with Jo-
|seph D. Medley, accused slayer OF
Mrs. Nancy Boyer
The bill, reported favorably FRI
day by the House District Commit
tee, was brought up on the unani-I
nous consent calender yesterday by
Chairman Randolph, but failed Of
passage when Representative Taber,
Republican, Of New York objected.
Nothing has ever irritated me
more than when saw that picture" /"
Mr.. Taber said, referring to the
photograph made last week at the
coroner's jury inquest when Medley
was held for grand jury action.
MADE 1t Social Function"
"They made q social function OF
it," Mr.. Taber declared 1T was
terribly disgusting and I'm against
this bill"
Before Mr.. Taber made his objec-
tion, Representative Shafer, Repub-
lican, of Michigan arose to suggest
that while we're at it, why not
make him tMaj. Kelly general?'
The bill to increase Maj. Kelly's
rank was sponsored by Representa-
tive Simpson, Republican, of Illi-
nois, who asked the House yester-
day to pass the bill because OF Maj.
Kelly's "meritorious work" during
his 80 years on the Metropolitan Po-
lice force. The increase in rank
would not result in salary boost
for the police. chief, Mr.. Simpson
stressed.
Both Mr.. Randolph and Mr..
Simpson last night expressed hope
the bill eventually would be passed
during this session. Mr.. Randolph
said the measure would be called up
again on the consent calendar at
later date.
Coal Regula tions Amended.
In another action affecting the
District, the House passed and sent
to the Senate bill to. amend Dis
trict regulations for the sale Of coal
at short-tons of 1000 pounds in
stead of long-ton sales OF 2,240
pounds now in effect here
Mr.. Randolph told the House the
Solid Fuels Administration requested
the bill because it would simplify
the administration of coal distribu-
ton by giving the District the same
short-ton standards for sale of coal
now in effect in other States.

Voluntary Admission!
Plan Recommended
For s.. Elizabeth S

The District Medical Society last
night recommended enactment OF
legislation to provide for voluntary
admissions to st. Elizabeth's Hos
pital.
In a formal statement the society
announced it had adopted a recon-
mendation to this effect presented
by its subcommittee on mental
health. DR.. Winfred Overholser,
superintendent of st. Elizabeth,s, is
chairman of the subcommittee.
The new plan for admission would
supplement the present system by
which persons are committed to
the institution by the court.
Admission to a hospital for the
early trea atment of mental difficulties
should be as simple as possible" DR..
Overholser said in the statement,
explaining reasons for the recon-
Many patients in the early stages
of such troubles, when most respon-
sive to treatment, recognize their
illness and are ready to seek help.
Yet such person in the District of
Columbia, in order to gain the
benefit of hospital care, must be
judicially determined to be dan
gerous to himself or others and of
mind Furthermore, such
a finding deprives him of his status
as a citizen-he cannot legally sign
a check, make a contract, or engage
in business!
only Is States fail to provide for
the voluntary admission of suitable
patients to mental hospitals. There
Is no danger of 'railroading,' that
bogy which actually does not exist,
for the voluntary patient may be
released upon his written demand.
Early admission would be encour-
aged, with resulting greater chances
of constructive help, and the dis
ability of adjudication would not un-
necessarily be laid upon any one.
The Medical Society of the District
of Columbia hopes that the Congress
will take this step toward modern
ization of the Districts laws relating
to the mentally ILL"
Members of the subcommittee, in
addition to DR.. Overholser, are
Drs. Isadore Rods, Leonard M. Dub,
Walter Freeman, Robert H. Groh,

Joseph Embree relaxed in the
chintz-covered easy chair in his
home at 8l09 Grove street, Silver
Spring, and continued the pleasure
of becoming acquainted with his g.
year-old grandson, Jackie.
Until a few days ago he didn't
know the boys name or how old he
was. A letter he'd received at a
prison camp in the Philippines last
summer told him his daughter had
a son. But the letter-one Of only
five he received during his imprison-
ment-had to be brief and was more
than year old when it reached
him.
Jackie and I already get on fine, "
he said. Hes my little partner.
And I've promoted him to corpo-
RAIL-" he added as the little boy
smiled while his grandad put serv-
ice cap on his head.
Learning about Jackie was only
part OF the story Of his family Mr..
Emhree has had to pick up in the
last week. His own son had grown
up and Joined the Marines and an
other daughter had joined the
WAVES since he was ordered to
Corregidor as q War Department
civilian employe in August, 1s4l.
Becomes Ill on Job.
He went out as assistant super
vising engineer Of the power plant
and after Corregidor fell was in a
concentration camp for only nine
days before the Japanese ordered
him to return to the job. He was
glad 1t was necessary work, since
the power plant controlled the water
supply as well as other utilities.
BY February, 1914, Mr.. Embree be-
came ill from malnutrition and the
heavy work, however, and was sent
to the hospital at Bilibid for an Op-
Grafton and treatment by. Navy dos
tors. Eight months later, still suf-
fering from beri-beri which affected
his legs, he was transferred to the
Army hospital at Cabanatuan.
There he remained until the
American Rangers stormed the pri-
son camp and freed more than 500
Allied captives on January 80.
Mr.. Embree will never forget the
sight of the big, strapping Yank who
strode into the camp and ordered
him to head for the main gate"
What's going on?' he asked anxi-
ously.
We've come to get you" the
Ranger answered. Head for the
main gate"
Camps Cleared Quickly.
"We had heard the firing" Mr..
Embree related, "and we, somehow.
felt sure the JapS would come in to
execute us before we were liberated.
But within % minutes after the first
shot was fired, that camp was
cleared-including litter cases"
In their escape. which included a
march of more than 20 miles, he
helped another prisoner, man
blinded from malnutrition who had
lost his shoes. I'VE kept wrapping
his feet in gauze bandages," he said,
but of course it didn't help much. -
About three weeks earlier, he said,
the main japanese forces had quit
the camp, apparently expecting the
Luzon landing. After their depar-
ture, with only small guard, the
prisoners were able to get hold OF
