WILL PASS UNDER NEW BRIDGE
Local Tugboats Have Plenty Of
Room. Can't. William Bell Finds.

Capt William Bell, master of the
United States Army engineer service
tug Castle, has for several days past
been employed in gathering data rela-
tive to the height above the water
of the stacks of the tugboats employed
about the river, and also those that
often visit here with tows of barges
The data, it is stated, are to be used in
connection with the raising of a span
of the Pennsylvania Avenue bridge so
that the tugs can pass under 1t to
reach the upper end of the Anacostia
river after the water is deepened and
improvements made.
It is proposed to make the lower
chords of the high span of the bridge
thirty-one and half feet above mean
low water. This. tho Information
gathered by Capt Bell shows. will al
low all the fleet OF tugboats that
would have occasion to pass under the
bridge to do SO with ease and with
plenty Of room to spare. Only some
of the Baltimore tugs which come hero
with barges. and which will not have
to go above the Pennsylvania Avenue
bridge. have smokestacks the top of
which are more than thirty-one feet
above the water.

ATTORNEY /. J. C0STIGAN
WINS AS1,5OO VERDICT
Legal Firm of Hopkins & Hopkins
Loses Suit Growing Out of
Arrest of Mexican.

Attorneys Thomas S. Hopkins and
Sherburne G. Hopkins, who are report
ed to have received a fee of $4,000 for
professional services to the Madertsta
party in Mexico, must pay $500 to At
torney Ignatius j. Costigan for his
assistance in obtaining the release OF
Juan Sanchez Azcona, now minister IN
Madrid, Spain, of the Carranza govern
ment. Mr.. Costigan sued for $4,000. but
the jury in Circuit Division of the
District Supreme Court. before Justice
Stafford, thought $1,5O0 was about
right, and entered verdict in his IA
vor for that amount. Attorneys H. w.
Sohon and Walter c. English repre-
sented Mr.. Costigan, while Attorneys
D. w Baker and Peyton Gordon ap-
peared for the firm of Hopkins & HOP
kins.
. Azcona was newspaper man IN MIA
leo and came to Washington in Decem-
Der. 1910. as secretary of the Madero
junta. President Diaz, wishing to pro
cure his return to Mexico, sent
reuuisition for his arrest on charge
of false pretenses. While he was IN
custody the Messrs. Hopkins called At
torney Costigan into the case and the
latter conducted the trial before the
late Chief Justice Clabaugh on the
reouisition and prevailed on the justice
to dishonor the requisition and to re-
lease the Mexican. Failing to obtain
satisfactory settlement for his serv-
ices, Attorney Costigan brought suit-

Personal Tax Suggestions.

10 tne Editor OF The Star:
Apropos of your news item Urge
New System for Personal Tax" print
ed on the first page of The Star of
ing:
In my judgment 1t is not at all neces-
sary to extend the period in which to
make returns Of personal taxes. The
law requires said returns to be made
on or before set date. How many of
our citizens know of this law? And
while ignorance of the law excuses no
one, would it not be a better policy to
see that all are acquainted with the
law?
1t would, in my judgment. be an easv
matter to, acquaint all citizens of this
law, by use of the city police force
bIank forms for returns of personal tax
could be easily and very economically
distributed by them to every household
er OF the District, and they should be ac-
conpanied with an abstract of the law
as regards personal taxation.
Inc proposition as to giving a rebate
to those who make prompt returns has
oiten occurred to me as remedial Con-
sher; sluer, as an example, the merchants
throughout the entire country Offering
a discount Of . or per cent for pay
nent of merchandise purchased within
ten Gays. Merchants and their patrons
are both benefited. Why not the Dis
trict and the taxpayer? 1t seems en-
tirely sane to me that If there is to be
penalty imposed upon those who do
not pay within the time prescribed by
law there should, in equity to those
who pay promptly, be a reward by a
rebate or discount. While 1 am fully
aware that many do not pay a per-
sonal tax because of ignorance of the
law, l am nevertheless aware that
many are evading the personal tax law,
and to remedy this ! am fully con-
vinced that full and complete notice of
such liability should be placed in the
hands of every citizen of the District
of Columbia. and the right and privi-
lege extended to go before a duly au-
thorized officer and make oath to his
or her possessions. Then. if, in the
opinion Of the ASSESSOR returns are not
justified or warranted, 1t should be the
duty of the assessor to make a personal
investigation by demanding entrance to
such homes as are in question, rather
than a sidewalk speculation

HOW YOU CATCH COLD
IS FULLY EXPLAINED
Public Health Service Also Tells
How It Can Be
Avoided.

What is cold? This question of
universal interest is answered by the
public health service in a newly pub
lished bulletin.
People suffering from colds are the
victims of attack of germs which the
individual carries about in his throat
or mouth at all times. These have been
permitted to reside there. in a state of
armed neutrality between the germs
and the body defenses, until fatigue,
emotion. intemperance, overexertion
or sudden chill temporarily reduces the
integrity Of the body's defensive agents.
Ihis produces the aggregation of
symptoms known as cold"
Colds Are Serious.
So it is defined and explained in this
bulletin. Colds are serious matters,
and should never be treated lightly,
advises this health monitor. Here are
the dangers, also is given the rules of
precahtion and of remedy:
III the body's resistance to one kind
OF disease germ is lowered, it is quite
easy for other germs to gain a foot
mold and spring into activity at such a
time. The infection which has produced
cold may extend to other parts of the
body. and middle-ear disease and deaf
ness may ensue, or a remote Joint NAV
De injected, thus causing a lowered
enlciency throughout life.
Many cases diagnosed as rheuna tism
are merely the chronic poisoning which
tesu!.s res from the continued growth of
the same germs which produce colds
Since colds are induced by a lowering
OF the bodily efficiency. it is seen that
they may be avoided by the mainte-
nance OF the bodily processes in a good
condition. This means the observance
of the rules Of hygiene, adequate food.
avoidance of excesses, the securing of
sun1cient sleep and the like. Above
all, the teeth should be kept in good
condition and the mouth kept clean.
Precaution Essential.
IL is the duty of persons who have
colds TO take every precaution against
transmitting them to others The
agency In the transmission of colds
from one person to another Is the
sputum. and this transferrence NAV
occur directly by sneezing, couehine
or eApectorating. Some one has called
the cold the strap-hanger's disease be-
cause of the frequency with which it
is contracted in overcrowded street
cars.
The common handkerchief is a great
transrnitter of disease. People with
colds should either destroy the hand
kerchiefs which they use or sterilize
them by boiling them. If you do not
want to give your cold to somebody
else. hold your handkerchief or voui
hand over your face when you cough
or sneeze, and do not indulge in pro
miscuous splitting. If you do not wish
to contract cold from person who
has one. avoid intimate personal con-
tact with him.
in the old days they used to hang a
bag of aSafOetida around the scho6I
boys neck in order to protect him
against colds, and this did. to a certain
extent, perform the function for which
It was designed. because the odor of
asafoetida Is such as to discourage
close personal contact
"A little cold Is a dangerous thing
Many a case of tuberculosis is dated
from a neglected cold. Keep up your
bodily defenses and avoid the careless
person who is acting as chronic dis
tributer Of colds.
