BOSTON, July 4 (TP)—Eight-year
old Irving Tynbal isn’t shooting off
any firecrackers today. Instead he is
spending the Fourth of July blowing
the whistle because he’s happy. It’s
because he can’t help it.
It happened this way. Irving was
having a fine time tooting a round
tin whistle. A friend came along and
asked him for it. Irving opened his
mouth and yelled “No!” very emphat
ically. His whistle dropped down his
throat and stuck in his windpiX-
Now every time he breathes, he whis

Doctors said there was no danger
of strangulation, but they may have
to operate to dislodge the whistle.

headquarters was informed of the
wind, blowing down a huge signboard
of the Savannah Poster and Adver
tising Company -which had been locat
ed near the Henry street subway. The
sign stood on the north side of Henry
! street just east of the subway.
It slammed down across the walk
way of the subway and jutted out
into the street, stopping the pa-sage
of vehicular traffic through the under
pass. Authorities were unable to get
in touch immediately with the com
: pany owning the sign. Lieut. J. C
I McCarthy took several negro yard
j hands to the scene in an effort to
j remove the sign speedily.
Because of the largeness of the bill*
1 board the job was found too difficult
for the "emergency crew” and a local
auto wrecking company was telephon
ed to clear the subway.
Police Officer T. E. Gary reported
a tree blown down on 42nd street,
between Montgomery and Jefferson
streets at 4:10 o'clock yesterday aft
ernoon. About the same time author

on East Broad between Nichols and
Hall street, and another on 31st street

CASE CLOSES
CHICAGO, July 4 (TP)—Play
wright Charles McArthur and his act
ress wife, Helen Hayes, departed to
day for their New York home. Both
declared they want never to see the
inside of a courtroom again.
MacArthur came to Chicago to help
his wife defend herself against a SIOO,-
■ 000 suit on charges of husband-steal
ing. The playwright was gloomy to
day because the case was dropped be
fore Miss Mayes’ lawyers presented
their b?st evidence.
MacArthur had persuaded two of
his friends, both famous writers, to
tin limber their best talents in compos
ing depositions to be presented in
court. The writers Robert Benchley
and Alexander Woo l irott, assured him
they had done their best.
Said MacArthur, “The boys turned
out swell pieces of literature. Now
we’ll have to let them go completely
to waste.”
Actress Helen Hayes shuddered
when the trial was mentioned. She
spoke of the dramatic courtroom col
lapse of the plaintiff, Carol Frink,
who was MacArthur’s first wife. Said
Miss Hayes: "Cross-examination of
myself was bad enough. But I think it
hurt me more when they cross-ques
tioned Miss Frink.”
The MacArthurs plan to leave New
York within a few days for a vacation
in Europe.
