TO BE TOMORROW
Services for Curio Shop
Operator Will Be Held in
Danzansky’s Chapel.
FUneral services will be held tomor
row for Nathan Sickle. 74. who for
almost half a century operated a
tobacco and novelty shop at 1011 D
street.
The merchant, whose father was
; Washington's leading tobacconist dur
I ing the Civil War. died Thursday in
George Washington Hospital.
Sickle was injured in an automobile
accident last Winter. His death was
attributed to complications from the
mishap. Sickle, however, was able to
| go to work until his shop was con
1 demned and closed two months ago.
After that Sickle kept his room, at
i 607 Sixth street. Several days ago
| friends became alarmed when he could
I not rise from his bed. They called
an ambulance and had him taken to
: the hospital.
Funeral Set for 10 A.M.
The funeral services will be held at
10 am. in the chapel of Bernard
Danzansky. 3501 Fourteenth street,
and burial will be in Washington
I Hebrew Cemetery.
Sickle long had been a familiar
figure to Washingtonians. His pres
! ence behind the counters of the ‘ old
I curiosity shop’’ was taken for granted.
When the shop was closed, many in
quiries were received by Sickle’s busl
j ness neighbors.
Sickle, the oldest tobacconist In
■ Washington to have maintained a
! shop in the same premises and under
! the same management, learned the
[ business from his father, who sold
j cigars, snuff and chewing tobacco In
I the same shop during the Civil War.
A bachelor, Sickle was know-n for
| his business integrity. He paid his
bills on time and demanded a similar
consideration from those who pur
chased from him.
Shelves Parked With Goods.
In later years, :he shelves of Sickle’s
shop became stocked to overflowing
with novelty and tobacco supplies
which were hard to sell. The accu
mulated merchandise was stored on
the three floors of the shop, where it
gathered dust,
An elderly clerk who had worked
for Sickle for 20 years estimated that
the shop contained at least ‘‘a mil
lion” different articles. Although
Sickle never kept a filing system, he
could go to any of his shelves in the
dark and put his hands on a required
bit of merchandise.
Friends said Sickle’s death was
hastened by his inability to return
to the shop where he had worked
since boyhood. He is survived by
two sisters and a nephew in New
York.

Navajo Medicine Men Hasten
Rituals for Rain in Drought
By the Associated Press.
NEE ALNEENG, Ariz.. June 27.—
Medicine men of the Nava Jos aped at
dawn today in the four directions of
the compass to enact an ancient tribal
ritual—an atonement designed to bring
rain to their parched lands.
Their stock huddled about a few
permanent water-holes and their 15,
000,000 acres of range land gray with
dust, the tribesmen—for the first time
in a generation—turned to an age-old
■ ceremony to beseech their god of rain
to quench seared acres.
Summoned by the venerable wise
one, Beninle (Winker), the leaders and
medicine men assembled last night for
Toegash <No Sleep Night). In the
shadowy light of their fires were laid
plans for dispatching the medicine
men to the four sacred mountains,
almost 1.000 miles apart.
Prayers of holy Navajos of all
: clans blessed the steps of those who
| took up the weary journey toward
j Dookoslid. Franciscan Peaks, near
Flagstaff, Ariz.; Tsodzll. Mount Tay
lor. near Grants. N Mex.; Slsnajini,
Pelado Peak, near Taos, N. Mex., and
Debensa. Piute Peak, in Colorado’s
San Juan Range.
Prom those mountains will be taken
water from the ever-running streams
Properly blessed and purified, it will
play a central part in the rain-making
ritual.
Beninie. as medicine man. Is for
bidden to inaugurate the ceremonial
on his owm initiative. Only on an
! other's request can he summon the
j clansmen for the toegash.
A Navajo stockman came to hm
yesterday and told of disappearing
j water holes, scorched grass and thirsty
i stock.
"You make rain medicine,” he
| begged of the medicine man. “I will
| bear the co6t.”
Days may pass before the return
j of those on holy quest. When they
j do thousands of Navajos will fore
gather with the wise ones, as they
| call to their rain god to answer their
1 supplications.

193 Expenditures of Office
$1,936,196, With $1,.
579,098 Collections.
The Postal Inspection Service got
convictions in 97 97 per cent of the
rases brought to trial in the fiscal
year 1935, It was shown today when
the annual report was made public.
In all, there were 3,918 convictions in
the 12 months ended June 30, last.
There were 4,004 arrests made, and
3,130 Indictments returned. This
seeming discrepancy between the ratio
of convictions to the number of ap
prehensions and Indictments, is due.
of course, to the fact that many of
the cases had not gone into court
when the report was tabulated.
It was shown too, that the office
practically paid for Itself, its ex
penditures of tl.936.196, exceeding by
only approximately 1350,000 the $1,
579,098 collected for the mistreat
ment of mail or public funds or
property.
Increase In Arrests.
The arrests for the year increased
7.4 per cent over 1934 For mall
thefts, the advance was 36.47 and for
fraudulent use of the malls 10.04 per
cent. The number of cases were, re
spectively, 746 and 941. The latter
was the most prevalent type of crime,
and the operations of the inspectors
Included the breaking up of a lottery
syndicate operating between Kansas
City and Chicago, that was estimated
to have netted $26,000,000 by the sale
of fake tickets.
The report emphasises however, that
not more than 30 per cent.of the in
spectors' work has to do with criminal
Investigation, the rest being the
routine necessary to keep the huge
poetal machine functioning.
War on Obscene Mall.
One of the principal labors of the
year was the relentless war on obscene
literature, which postal Inspectors as
sert is one of the most serious matters
with which they have to cope and
one that is particularly dangerous so
far as young boys and girls are con
cerned.
The Postal Inspection Service, for
years numbering 540 men. will be In
creased by 35 under the new Treas
ury-post office bill. The department
nad justified employment of 207 ad
ditional, reporting as an example of
the need, that 3.00 fraud probes are
hanging fire. Budget and congres
| sional slashes however, reduced the
1 figure.

Democratic party wins.
“The platform, taken together with
the keynote speeches of the conven

plain that the policies heretofore in
sisted upon by Roosevelt are to be
carried out if the Democratic party
succeeds at the election."
“It is now clear.” he continued, "that
it is proposed to drive forward and if
the Supreme Court stands in the way.
to either, if possible, deprive that
court of jurisdiction to pass upon the
constitutionality of acts of Congress
or to pack the Supreme Court by the
addition of other judges, or ... to
