According to a ruling just issued by the
health officer, Tenleytown will shortly take
It's place among the more densely populated
suburbs of the city. All the health ordi-
Iances Of the District are worded 50 as to
apply to Washington, Georgetown and the
more densely populated suburbs" Ana
costa and Mount Pleasant have been in
cluded in the category for some time past
and now DR.. Woodward is Of the opinion
that the growth Of Tenleytown warrants
its addition to the list. The change will 40
into effect on October 1. The ordinances
that will now apply to Tenleytown cover a
large number Of points. but principally the
matters of outhouses and the keeping of
swine and cattle about the place.
1t has long been evident that an i'm
provement was necessary In The sanitary
condition Of the outhouses in this suburb.
and the substitution Of tight boxes for the
old-fashioned leaky affairs that are a
menace to health. especially as the chief
source Of water supply is from the wells,
which are far more likely to become con-
taminated by defective drains than the
water system Of Washington proper.
The keeping Of cattle and swine near to
dwelling houses will also be looked into, and
little by little they viii have 20 be removed
as the health officials deem advisable.

In letter addressed today to c. H. ].
Taylor, the recorder of deeds of the Dis
trict, and who is also president of the
Negro National Democratic League. H. c.
c. Astwood tenders his resignation as chair
man Of the executive committee of the
Negro National Democratic League. In his
letter Mr.. Astwood states that "circum-
stances involving potential political princi-
pies, which / cannot ignore, force me to
tender to you my resignation" He goes on
10 say that the methods which are being
adopted by certain negro democrats and
their bogus organizations are of such a
nature that no self-respecting negro can
afford to associate with or continue in Them
The action of the AfrO-American bureau
OF organization, headed by a reckless and
INSCRIPTIONS chief, the bold and vulgar
manner in which colored officials regard
less of party or sex, are being taxed and
forced to contribute of their small earnings
against their own voluntary free will, is a
spectacle so humiliating that it renders
negro democracy to be cesspool of cor
ruption." He then goes on to speak Of
''our splendid convention at Indianapolis"
from which meeting he had received an
inspiration and had been led to hope that
negro democracy meant something.
The action of the congressional COM
mittee." he adds. lin sustaining an organi-
nation under the conditions openly con-
the action Of the national administration
toward negro democrats makes 1t impos-
sible for me to be an active worker, to fur
Their deceive and dupe race without some
tangible evidence Of the principles which
we ask them to espouse for the betterment
OF their condition. Consequently can find
no ground upon which to stand"
Mr.. Astwood states that he considers 1t
problematical whether he shall continue in
the ranks of the democratic party, but he
asserts that II he does 1t will be as a demo-
crat and not as a negro democrat.
In conclusion, he thanks Mr.. Taylor for
