audience just couldn't stay to hear Nat
Groom Naughty Angelina and The
Christmas Song" with his King Cole
Trio. After such an array of top notch
motion picture and stage stars at
Madison Square Garden Monday night
to hear the zone and only" Night of
Stars, people became too restless to
enjoy the only Negro star who per-
formed for the benefit Of the United
Jewish Appeal.
The Garden show, beginning at $50
sharp, lasted until 1890 when strains
Of Christmas Song" filled the empty
ing hall as more than half of the TO-
600 people had left and the remaining
10000 were on their way out.
The gala event began with Ed Sui
Ivan, famed Daily News coIumnist,
acting as an m. c., and introducing
Jane Powell, Hollywood singing star
and Milton Berle. After some very
funny jokes Though old, Berle brought
out young Dick Demene, who sang a
very veal and studied version Of "Ol
Man River" (we,re convinced nobody
can sing it like either Sinatra or Robe

sang in Yiddish for the occasion. Then

All during the last 6 acts, King Cole

other stars, though hardly talking to
them, just waiting to be called. After
thunderous applause for each per-
Torrance, Nat and the boys got ready.
But star after star walked across the
great Usage during the evening, urging
contributions to further the work of
the United Jewish Appeal in aiding
the children and adults who are vic

John Carfield'S emotional message of

got a terrific response from the. mink

their millionaire husbands.
Still King Cole was not introduced.
Finally, Ed Sullivan asked the audi
ence, then getting restless, to get up
and stretch-but please stay for the
last five acts as they had been waiting
all evening to go on. First Of the five

Child Bearing Failure
Traced in Part 10
Thyroid Deficiency

Women who have had repeated
failures in child bearing frequently
are found to have deficient thyroid
functions, according to study de-
scribed last night by DR.. Eleanor
Delfs, assistant professor of obstet-
RIGS and gynecology at Johns Hop
kings University.
DR.. Delfs addressed a meeting of
the Women's Medical Society of the
District in Doctors Hospital.
Thyroid treatment in deficiency
cases, when begun in time, has
led to successful child bearing
where there, had been several pre-
vious failures to carry out a preg-
nancy. Dr. Delfs pointed out.
Where the treatment failed 1t
was believed in some instances
there were other causes or failure
to begin the treatment soon enough,
the speaker pointed out.
The study she described involved
IS women with exceedingly poor
reproductive histories" or who had
had three or more unsuccessful
pregnancies. The survey showed a
high incidence" of deficient thyroid
function, she said.
In describing experiments on
rats DR.. Delfs declared they showed
that after the early stages of treat
ment to produce low thyroid activ-
ity artificially, reproduction was a
rarity.
It was announced the society's
next regular meeting would be held
at pm, April /, in the District
Medical Society auditorium, 17f8

uration of Cancer Prevention
Month, the group will hear a talk

lege of Philadelphia.

Aqed Pensioners
In Colorado Get
| S22O Bonus
BY the Assoeiefed Press

DENVER, Jan. 9.-Colorado gave
each of it's old age pensioners a
$4,000 Jackpot" payment today in
addition to their $45 monthly pen
sions.
Welfare Director Earl M. Kouns
said the payment was the highest
ever paid to pensioners in the
United States in any month so
far as I know" The pension pay
ment and bonus went to 42,3S5 per-
sons.
The huge bonus payment resulted
from a provision in Colorado's law
that all money in the pension fund
must be divided each January
among the persons ON the pension
rolls. Increased sales and liquor
tax receipts are largely responsible
for the record-breaking payment. >

QUARANTINE PUT
ON DOGS, CATS in
LEESBURG AREA
Second Case of Rabies
Discovered In Cat;
Several Take Treatment

Six months quarantine on all
dogs and cats in Leesburg town.
ship was ordered Tuesday by DR..
I. R. Laughbaum, health COM
missioner, following discovery of
the second rabies in that town
ship. The infected animal was a
cat belonging to Elton Myers, of
the Marion rd.
First case of rabies was found
about a month ago in a dog be-
longing to Mr.. and Mrs. Howard
Ramsey. 1t was the first report
ed in Union County in several
years, health authorities said.
Since both the Ramseys, w h o
have since left the community,
and the Myers are in the same
neighborhood, it is presumed
that the same source infected
both of them.
Members of the Myers family
and others who have come in
contact with the cat recently are
undergoing treatment, as are the
several head of cattle whic h
comprise Mr.. Myers large dairy
herd.
AS a result of the quarantine
imposed by the Health Depart
ment, all dogs must be kept on
leash and all cats, penned up,
during the time of the quaran-
tine. All dogs and cats in Lees
burg Township, licensed or un-
licensed, will be picked up by
the dog warden of caught run
ming at large.
The cat bit Mr.. Myers daugh-
ter, Rosemary, II, on the ankle,
and was then killed by Dog War
den, William Zolman. The ami
mails head was sent State Lab
oratories in Columbus, where
tests for rabies were reported
positive.
