8 HOUSE CONTROL WILL REMAIN DEMOCRATIC Democratic control of the House of Representatives during the present session was assured today, regardless of the effect of deaths of members on their slen der majority. A gentleman s agreement, made before the House was organized by leaders, that the party elect ing a Speaker would continue in control is still in effect. May Have Effect An abnormally high death rate among members of the Seventy second Congress may, however, have a decisive effect in the con sideration of measures on which the House is closely divided. With the deaths of Representa tives Quin (D.) of Mississippi and Rutherford <D » of Georgia yes terday, the death roll of the House since the election in No vember, 1930, was raised to 16 members, of which nine were Democrats and seven Republicans. Four members of the Senate of this Congress have died. Democrats in Lead The House line up stood today at 218 Democrats, 213 Republicans and one Farmer-Laborite, with three vacancies. Democrats are expected to be named at special elections to succeed Representa tives Quin and Rutherford. Representative Leech (R.) of Pennsylvania, who resigned to accept appointment on the Board of Tax Appeals, is expected to be succeeded by a Republican. Ten members of the House, in addition to the two deceased members, have been on the sick list during the past week. S. PI A. MOVES IN COCKFIGHT BALTIMORE.

W. Va„ Feb. s.—Natural scientists of Harpers Ferry are at a loss to identify a family of little ani mals unearthed in a cave on Maryland Heights, in the moun tains. The animals are described as part dog and part bear, with a little levening at cat thrown in for good measure. Jess Ondorff. 203 West B St., Brunswick, Md., describes j the strange beasts: “They have ears and head just like a cub bear, and they sit up on their hind legs just like a bear. The body, tail and hair, however, resembles a dog, and they bark like a dog. They have short legs and claws like a cat.” Mr. Ondorff says the animals are the first of the kind ever to be seen in that region and that they are creating much ex citement among the natives. COLDS Colds are caused by an ultravirus (cold germ) which science has not yet been able to isolate. But science does know that this in fection gets into the system and : multiplies before the symptoms appear. That’s why it is necessary to : destroy and expel the infection from within. Millions depend on the tonic and germ-destroying properties of Quinine, combined with gentle laxative as in B LAXATIVE ROMO QUININE lOO< for This UMNATURt EAGLE „ tXijMW Our EAGLE “M” Coal Js medium volatile hard-struc ture soft coal, egg or stove sire, high in heat units, low in ash.

While it is a rule not to reveal the names of newstip sources, it is quite proper to quote the fol lowing letter, omitting the name and address of the recipient. The National Daily “I want to thank you kindly for the check for S2O received this morning, and I assure you it will make quite a few people happy.' This afternoon I bought $3 worth of groceries for a fam ily of four. The husband has T. B. and would be unable to work if he had it. Our com- FRIDAY—FEBRUARY 5—1932 munity cares for them. Then I paid rent for another family that would have been set out for non-payment of rent. That was $7. I ordered for another family food and wood which was $7. I have $3 left fnr which I will have my jnilk man leave milk every day for tha T. B. husband. "I do thank you more than you will ever know. It helped me to do the things I would not have been able to do only for that S2O. We have given and done for three families for over a year and our finances wero getting pretty low.’’ The newstip which this char itably-inclined lady gave to the Times was an airplane crash at Berwyn Heights, Md.. in which Col. Clarence M. Young. Assistant Secretary of Commerce, was in jured.
