38 Saved; 4Lost In North Atlantic Hurricane

NEW YORK, (P)-Thirty-eig crew members of an abandoned British freighter, were rescued yes terday by two ships in the hurri- cane-lashed North Atlantic, but four others were lost.
 Coast guard headquarters said the American rescue ship Cecil N. Bean reported saving 20 crew members of the freighter Leicester from mountainous waves about 400 miles southwest of Cape Race, Newfoundland.
 The Bean reported that l8 other crew members were rescued by the Argentine steamer Torpedo. The remainder of the Leicester's 42-man crew were reported lost.
 The Leicester, a 7,226-ton New York-bound freighter, was caught in the path of the northward sweeping mid-Atlantic hurricane. She has now been completely abandoned, the Bean messages.
 A brief message received by coast guard headquarters said the remainder of the Leicester's crew were lost during the hurricane 1 Tuesday night. The New York agent for the Leicester said she carried 42-man crew.
 Coast guard officers said the At lantic hurricane which swept north from Bermuda had "cut a swath" through. the area where the Leicester was abandoned. Strong winds churned up heavy seas in the region, they said.
 The Leicester left London Sept 4, for New York. Her owner is listed as the Federal Steam Navi- gation Co.,, Ltd, of London.

ASTRONOMERS EXPLAIN STAR IN EAST

The New Testament does not guide us in attempting to identify the Christmas star," pr. Dinsmore Alter, director of the Griffith ob- servatory, Los Angeles, Calif., states.
 We know what the heavens ap- peared like 2,000 years ago and there is only one reasonable the ory for the announcement of the Wise Men, who said, in Matthew 2:2:
 Where is He that is born king of .he Jews, for we have seen His star in the east and are come to worship him?'
 Tn 6 B. C., there was a group ing of three planetS-Jupiter, Sat urn and Mars-which might have provided the anc!entS with their lon2-aWaited sign of the Nativity.
 "One year earlier-7 B. C. Jupiter, Saturn and Venus were similarly grouped.
 What makes the astronomer pause at accepting this theory is the passage in Matthew which reads, "The star went before them That, many scientists as sume, must have been a psycho- logical rather than an actual wis ual impression"

Origin Of T. B. Christmas Seals

The origination of the Christ mas tuberculosis seal is recalled by officials of the American Tu- berculosis Institute.
 Back in 1903 Einar Holboell. then a young mail clerk in the postoffice at Charlottenlund, Den mark, conceived the idea of vol untary tax on Christmas greeting cards which would benefit the poor. He gained permission from the ministry to sell the stamps at post offices for a fund to erect a hospital for tubercular children.
 In 1907 Miss Emily P. BiSsell of Wilmington, Del, adopted the idea and interested the American Red Cross in the project. The first na- tional sale in 1908 brought in Sl35,0O0 and the amount has grown larger each year. The sale of seals has saved 100000 lives annually among tubercu.ar pa tients, officials declare.
 At the time of his death in 1927, Holboell was president of the h. ternatiOnal Tuberculosis AsSocia- tion and a member of the board of directors of the National Tu- berculoSis Association of Den mark. AS a mark of honor to the originator, the Danish Christmas seal for 1927 bore his picture.
