ATTACK ON NO. 1 KILLER OF CHILDREN
100 Hopeful Slum Children
Help Fight Rheumatic Fever
' By LEO TURNER
Irvlngton, N. Y., Aug. (U.PJ A hopeful group Is busy here
today on a two-pronged project aimed at whipping rheumatic
lever, the greatest killer of America's teen-agers.
The center of the project is 100 happy children, most of them
from New York City's slums, who are finding a new life. All of
-them have been weakened by
the disease.
The purpose of the project is
to find a way of preventing re
peated attacks of rheumatic
fever, which damages the heart
valves, and to restore its victims
to society as normal, emotionally
stable citizens.
It is being conducted at Irving
ton House, a 47-acre research
and convalescent home on a hill
overlooking the peaceful Hud
son river near Washington Irv
ing's famous sleepy hollow.
Directing it are Paul S. Ross,
a pleasant, veteran educator and
superintendent of the home, and
Dr. Harold C. Anderson, former
ly of Minneapolis, the physician
m charge.
Rheumatic fever leads nil
other diseases as a killer of
youngsters between the ages of
10 and 19 in America, according
to statistics of the Mptrnnnlltan
Life Insurance company. It Is
responsible for 40 per cent of
me neart cases of all ages. Those
who survive frequently live a
restricted life.
Fortunately the first nttsir lc
seiaom iaiai. But it Is not a
disease that strikes only once.
Each new attack seems to make
the victim more susceptible to
future attacks. And each attack

NATURE'S WIVE-SAVER
2-in-l Vegetable: Caulicab
Seattle U. Once the housewife had to mix her biscuits from
the raw Ingredients. Progress has taken care of that.
Same thing with pancakes, cookies, cakes, salad, meat loaf,
milk shakes, eggnog and baby formulas. You can buy them
next to table-ready in any grocery store.
Now nature has come up with her own wife-saver combined
vegetables. Her newest trick Is caulicab: cauliflower and cab
bage combined.
It's cabbage-looking at first glance, only plumply pointed In
stead of globe shaped. But pull away the thick outside layer of
tender cabbage leaves. Inside, all curled up and ready to eat
is a cauliflower. It's like fining a silver dollar under the sofa
cushion.
You can make almost a whole dinner with a caulicab. Whip
up some cole slaw with the outside leaves. Then cook the cauli
flower with some cheese. Save a piece of cauliflower and chop
It up raw for salad.
Most likely, though, there won't be any caulicab at the"
grocer's for a while.
Caulicab has Just been developed by a Pacific northwest seed
company and these new developments take time to catch on,
especially vegetables.
Charlie Lupica, Pole-Sitting
Baseball Fan, Holds Out
Cleveland, Aug. 25 (U.PJ Charlie Lubica, the national flag-pole
sitting champion and the Indians number one fan, today was
wilting away in 90-degree heat while thinking about the things
he'll do when he comes back to earth.
"Boy, that ground will feel good when I get down," he 'said.
"The first thing I'll do Is kiss-
the ground, and then kiss my
wife. Next will come lots of
sleep and at least four meals a
day."
Since Charlie shinned up to
his six-foot square perch on May
30 with the vow he would stay
there until the Cleveland In
dians were in first place, he has
lost 15 pounds.
"At least something good
came of slum here, Charlie
said as he pointed to the press
clipping mentioning his new
world record-breaking feat. "I'm
the last one in the world who
would have thought I'd be up
here this long."
No sooner had Charlie begun
his long squat than the business
in his little delicatessen began
to double.
"A lot of people came into the
store to sign my guest book,"
Charlie said, "and they spot
some tobacco or patent medicine
they need, and decide now's as
good a time as any to buy it."
Most everybody in Cleveland
has come to Charlie's aid as far
as the food is concered. Several
restaurant owners send meals
out regularly. They are served
by a waiter who climbs a long
step ladder to the edge of
Charlie s perch.
However, when his friends
forget a meal, Charlie has one of
his relatives fix an old Sicilian
dish and bring it to the roof
and put it in a pail which he
pulls up to his platform.
Charlie's recreational activi
ties are varied.
He sits and watches the acts
on his portable television set,
that was donated. Or listens to
a donated portable radio. He
keeps up a continual gab-fest
with his visitors below, and is
even writing a book concerning
his pole-sitting life.
Recently a son, Charles, Jr.,
was born to Charlie's wif e.f Now
he has two reasons to come
down.
. One, to be able to talk like a
normal person on the sidewalks
of Cleveland, and second, but
most important, to see his son.
SEEKS RECORD FOR HER SEX
Woman Hopes to Be First
To Sail Globe Alone
San Pedro, Calif. (U.R) Mrs. Vera Rideout, 41, who lives on a
boat at Watchhorn yacht anchorage, hopes to be the first woman
to sail alone around the world.
Mrs. Betty Clemmer, her daughter, who lives on an adjacent
boat, has no such ambition.
It's all right for mother to go-
around the world, if that's what
she wants to do," Mrs. Clemmer
said. "I don't want to and she
wouldn't let anyone go along
anyway, except her two dogs."
Mrs. Rideout began her sea
going career at a night school in
nearby Wilmington, where she
studied navigation.
Her ocean experience was put
to a rugged test two years ago
when she shipped out on the
yacht Islander with Capt. Harry
Pidgeon. The Islander founder
ed in a hurricane at Espiritu
Santo in the Hebrides while the
crew was ashore.
"The experience didn't fright
en me," she said. "But it gave
me a healthy respect for the
sea."
causes more damage to the
heart.
The medical program here is
under the direction of a com
mittee from the New York Uni
versity College of Medicine.
Mrs. Hideout s dream of an
around - the - world voyage was
dampened In January, 1043,
when her 26-foot ketch Chelan
collided with actor Lee Tracy's
yacht at Santa Monica, Cal.
"The Chelan was sunk," she
said, "and with it all my belong
ings and almost my dream. The
boat lay on the bottom for two
weeks before It was refloated
and towed here.
'ISince that time I have been
rebuilding it piece by piece."
The ketch, she figures, should
make the trip in five years, and
to finance it she plans to give il
lustrated lectures during the
tour.

for PERFORMANCE with ECONOMY, use the quality gasoline your car needs -Mobflgas
Special or Mobilgas. These two gasolines blanket the requirements of every car on the road today.
Both are perfectly balanced fuels, with superlative mileage and power features; both are made by the
same patented refining process. Their essential difference is in anti-knock rating. With the help of
your Mobflgas Dealer, you can quickly make your own test and find which of these 2 is beet for you:
Mobilgas Special If you are the proud
owner of one of the new extra-high-compression cars, or if,
due to mechanical adjustments, your car knocks on the
gasoline you are now using, you'll be money ahead by
switching to Mobilgas Special (premium).
Mobilgas If your car is like most of those now
in service, you will get mileage, power, and anti-knock
with outstanding economy by using Mobilgas. If your car
runs knock-free on Mobilgas, then be smart and pocket
the difference in price between it and premium gasoline.
