30 Transfusions Fail to Save
Girl, 6, From Rare Meningitis
-- — I —
Gale Gray Dies After
Radio Appeal Brings
Many Volunteers.
81x-year-old Gale Gray died yes
terday in Children's Hospital, the
victim of a rare type of meningitis,
which SO blood transfusions failed to
check.
Scores of volunteers had offered
their blood during the seven weeks
the child lay in the hospital while
doctors battled for her life. N
Only a few volunteers were chosen
because the nature of the girl’s ill
ness required blood from a person who
was recovering, or had recovered
recently, from influenza. 8he suf
fered from an Influenzal type of
menlngitLs.
The child was taken to the hos
pital by her mother, Mrs. Viola M.
Hance Gray, 6418 Eighth street, after
she was stricken with the malady
January 9.
Gale's father, Edmund Gray, was
one of the volunteers, but his blood
was not of a suitable type. A radio
appeal for donors was broadcast sev
eral days after the child was takfn
to the hospital, and half a hundred
volunteers responded.

L settled, their leaders asserted.
Patrons brought gifts of food, rice
wine, bedding and other presents to
their temple stronghold, along with
encouragement or entreaties to return
to their customary places of employ
ment.
Telegrams asking that the “slt
downers'" be accorded every courtesy
poured in on the bewildered temple
priest*.
A signboard. In the manner of a
picket's placard In the United States,
hung on the temple gate. It aald:
‘‘Give the geisha of Osaka autonomy
and better treatment.”
Previously these same geisha girls
had had trouble with their managers
when they refused to rehearse for the
annual presentation of the famous
Ashibe dance, which belongs to the
quarters of licensed vice rather than
the geisha resorts.
TTie geisha of Japan are primarily
entertainers, singers, dancers, artists
on the samisen. They hold themselves
aloof from their less fortunate sisters
of the licensed vice quarters.
The geisha, ranging in age from the
early teens to the 30s. usually live tn
small groups In geisha houses under
the control of managers, male or fe
male, under whom they are trained
for their profession and from whom
they receive their elaborate costumes.
The girls usually go outside their
houses of residence to sing and dance
for dinner parties in gay restaurants.
Most of their fees go to the managers.
The employing group in the geisha
profession is well organized both m
Tbklo and Osaka, but hitherto the
girls have had little chance to organise
to protect their interests.

NAMES ARE ANNOUNCED
FOR NEW BATTLESHIPS
North Carolina and Washington
to Be Honored in Veaaels, Saya
Secretary Swanson.
Secretary Swanson today announced
the naming of the two new battleships
for the States of North Carolina and
Washington.
The department said that after the
completion of these vessels, which were
recently authorised, all the States In
the Union except Montana and 8outh
Dakota would have battleships named
for them. Battleships under construc
tion named after those two States
were scrapped under the Washington
treaty for the limitation of naval arm
ament.
Although the North Carolina will
be the fourth vessel so called, she
will be the first completed battleship
bearing the name of that State. The
Washington will be the sixth vessel
thus named, but will be the first com
pleted battleship, officials explained.

Linan long has been noted in East

The amazed populace is mostly just

about three-fourths of the Nation’s
610 000.000 acres of tilled or tillable
land have been affected by erosion or
are susceptible to it if not protected
from wind and rain.
The Soil Conservation Service, he
said, is carrying on operations in 156
demonstration areas in 43 States, di
recting the work of 450 Civilian Con
servation Corps camps and conducting
control studies at some 35 co-opera

Corrective Methods Urged.
The following were corrective meth
ods suggested in the model law:
"Carrying on engineering opera
tions, such as the construction of ter
races, terrace outlets, cheek dams,
dikes, ponds, ditches and the like.
"Utilizing strip cropping, lister fur
rowing. contour cultivating, contour
furrowing and land irrigation.
"Seeding and planting of waste,
sloping, abandoned or eroded lands
to water-conserving and erosion
preventing plants, trees and grasses,
“Forestation, reforestation, suitable

•'Retirement from cultivation of
