$1,000 D. T.. Children
Suffer Md|nutrition.
Health Officer SAYS

Eleven thousand District school
children were found to be suffering
from malnutrition in medical ex-
aminations conducted last year, DR.
George C. Rutland. District Health
Officer, revealed yesterday.
In the fifth of a series OF state
ments on fitness of Washington
school children. DR.. Rutland de-
clared these 1000 pupils lack
vitality, are listless, pale and under
weight. Physical defects may cause
malnutrition, the health officer said
but often the reasons for the child's
condition lie in environment.
Home conditions which may re-
suit in malnutrition for the child
were listed by DR.. Rutland as
nervous tension created by parents,
faulty eating habits and unbalanced
diets. He said parents should be
able to discover and remove nom
medical causes of malnutrition in
their children. He recommended
medical examinations to determine
whether physical defects can be
blamed for the condition.
Getting an education requires
good health" the health officer
stated. Il have called attention in
the past to defective vision. faulty
hearing and dental defects. which
may handicap the child in pursu-
ing his educational career
DR.. Rutland said parents have
already had it called to their atten-
ton that it is important to have
the child checked to discover med
ical defects which can be corrected
promptly in order to avoid serious
illness and permanent handicaps.

Most of the customers who had
to hitch-hike or take taxicabs to

bus drivers refused to cross an AFL
carpenters union picket line at
the company garage, were home
yesterday and unaffected by the
strike settlement. Normal service
was resumed at II am, when nom
union carpenters on building
project at the bus garage were
fired, appeasing the aggrieved
unionists.
Service stopped at 2 am. Friday,
causing many Washingtonians to
abandon plans for a Labor Day
weekend at nearby Maryland

thousands were stranded downtown
Friday by the strike.

-year-old Joe Justh expert
enced one of the big moments of
his life yesterday afternoon when
he watched his first major-league
baseball game at Griffith Stadium.
He could. remember only two big
ger moments. One was on June 10,
when he was freed for the first time
in more than 20 months from the
confines of an iron lung at Chill
dren's Hospital. The other was last
Sunday, when he returned home for
the first time in nearly two years.
Joe was stricken with infantile
paralysis in October, 1914, and i'm
mediately was placed in the lung
to begin the fight for his life. After
two years, the youth is able to sit up
and can move his head and hands.
He still has no power of motion in
either arms or legs.
He has made miraculous strides
in recent months" said his ply
sician, DR.. Richard H. Todd. mo
one now can say how much more
he will improve, but we certainly
aren't giving up any measure OF
hope for him"
Joe's appearance at the ball game
yesterday was no accident, he was
prompt to point out Seated on a
large pillow in a field box near
home plate, the youth said he be-
came an avid fan of the Nationals
last fall, while still in the iron lung
and seldom missed a radio broad
cast of games.
Joe could recognize nearly all the
players from their pictures. And
his knowledge of baseball was eX-
tensive, but it was knowledge gained
through listening and not seeing
At one moment, he would be the
expert, cautioning a batter with a
three-ball-no-strike count to take
the next one" Then again he would
turn to his father, Elmer S. Justh
to ask where the bleachers were
whether the huge field lights were
really bright enough for night
games, or whether "all these people
ever are quiet"

spectators were taking the seventh

Woman 0utfiehts,
|0utruns Bandit in
Dress Shop HoIdup

A woman clerk out-talked, out
fought and out-ran robber who
attempted to hold up the Harriet
Shop, Seventh and c streets Sc,
last night, saving the entire days
receipts of the shop, owned by her
mother, police reported.
Mrs. Sadie Contract, "a, a widow
and mother of a 14-year-old daugh-
ter, was the heroine of the holdup
attempt, which occurred as the store
was about to close at 8 pm. She
told police a colored man walked
in with his hand in his pocket, as
II holding a gun, and said: Get
back there! This is a holdup!''
The bandit had been in the store
twice before during the evening,
purportedly to look at some dresses
she said. He was easy to remember
because he was unusually tall and
thin.
What do you want?" she asked
him.
THE money!" he replied.
Stalling for time, Mrs. Contract
called her mother, Mrs. Mary Teitle,
owner of the store, who was in a
dressing room with two customers.
The robber was distracted by Mrs.
Teitle's entry and the younger wom-
an darted to the telephone, lifted
the receiver and screamed Police!
Police!"
The thief rushed at her, Mrs.
Contract said, and she hit him on
the head with the telephone.
For the next 80 seconds, the two
raced among the dress racks, with
Mrs. Contrace always a few feet
ahead, she said. All the while she
continued to shout 'Police!" Finally
she saw an opening and darted out
the front door into the street with
the bandit on her heels, shouting,
I'm gonna kill you'll"
Mrs. Contract kept calling for
police as she ran. A block away
from the store, she no longer heard
footsteps behind her, she said, so
she entered another store and called
police.
Mrs. Contract, according to po-
lice, kept the robber far too busy
for him to lay hands on the cash.
She would not say how much money
was in the store.
