Bread or Barbering.

Absolute prohibition against attend
ance at public or private schools OF
any person suffering from tuberculosis
in communicable form is established
in an amendment to the Districts
tuberculosis regulations, adopted to-

The regulation is drawn to apply
alike to teacher, pupil, janitor or help

In considering this question the Com

the advisability of adopting amend

prevent persons suffering from tuber-

tions of breadmaking and barbering.
These suggestions still are under con-

follows:
Under the personal tax law of July
]. 1902 the tax year commences on July

FINAL HALF HOLIDAY

1915 Season Of Saturday Closing in
Government Departments
Ends With Today.

The army of government employees in
this city were excused at / o'clock to-
day for, the last time this calendar
year. under the Presidents order au-
thorizing half holidays on Saturdays
from June 15 to September Is. Unfor-
tunately for the employees the holiday
season expires by limitation next Fri
day. just one day too soon for another
Saturday.
Under the law, however. Saturday aft
er IL o'clock is a legal holiday in the
District all the year round, and efforts
will be renewed by departmental en-
ployes to be given the full benefit of
that fact instead of having their half
Saturday half holiday limited to three
months of the summer.
Half-holidays at the bureau of engrav-
ing and printing VIII extend through
September 80. the last Saturday in the
month. as the holidays at this bureau
did not begin until half month later
in the spring than they did at other de-
partments.
For this reason the half-periods on
Saturdays are annually extended in the
bureau of engraving and printing until
the last Saturday in September.

Health Officers Attitude.

In recommending adoption of the or
der Health Officer Woodward stated
that 1t is commonly recognized fact
that tuberculosis Is a communicable
disease, and that the nature of the
channels through which this disease
spreads from person to person is such
that the danger of contagion is greater
indoors than out. Under such circum-
stances, it would appear necessary to
eliminate from the schools all known
foci of infection.
1t Is expected that the Commissioners
action will lead to recommendations by
the board of education in the forthcom-
ing estimates for the establishment of
special schools for tuberculous chill
dren.

Subject of Hearing.

All three measures designed to check
the spread of tuberculosis in the Dis
trict were discussed at a public hearing
given by the Commissioners several
months ago.
In explaining the amendment adopted
today Commissioner Brownlow said
that the Commissioners had reached the
conclusion that it was wrong to per-
NIT pupils suffering from tuberculosis
in communicable form to attend either
private or public schools.
He expressed the hope that provision
will be made in the immediate future
for special school facilities for tuber-
culous children, who not only will be
given every opportunity to obtain an
education, but will have the peculiar
,are to enable them to conquer the
disease.

Another Retirement
of AuStrianS Before
RumanianS Admitted

LONDON, September e.-Austrian
troops have been withdrawn from their
positions west of Cssik Szereda. fifty
miles north of Kronstadt. before
Rumanian attacks, say the latest Off
cia1 communication issued from Austro-
Hungarian headquarters.
Russian torpedo boats, Petrograd de-
clared, bombarded the Rumanian port
of Baltjik on the Black sea. and sank
twenty-one barges in which the Bull
garians, who had occupied the seaport,
were shipping bread.
Fall of Turtukai Admitted.
The capture of the fortress of Tur-
tukai, on the Danube, by German and
Bulgarian troops, is admitted in an
official communication issued by the
Rumanian war office.
Rumanian authorities in London say
the result of the fighting in the Ru-
manian province of Dobrudja Is being
greatly exaggerated and that what has
happened was more or less expected.
They say there were not as many Ru-
manian troops in the district as the
Germans claim to have captured. The
strongly fortified place, they declare,
but was simply defended with earth
works.

the Bulgarian and German forces which
are invading Rumania report that along,
the Black sea coast an advance of
eighty kilometers. about fifty miles,
beyond the frontier already has been
made. They express the opinion that
the progress of the invaders, who have
occupied several important positions on
the coast and elsewhere in Dobrudja
explains the irresolution and compara-
tive inactivity of the Rumanian forces,
which. having invaded Transylvania,
are now merely sending out small de-
tachments to reconnoiter.

have been defeated by the Bulgarians

No Provision Made.

The District of Columbia appropria-
tion act for this year, containing the
amendment imposing a tax upon GER
tain intangible property, did not become
a law until September /. Two months
of the current tax year had then
elapsed; the time had expired within
sonal property should be made, and the
penalty for failure to make return had
already attached. This was known to
Congress at the time of the enactment
of the amendment, and as no provision
was made for separate schedules of in
tangible property for the current year,
or for separate penalties, and no provi-
sion was made for pro-rating the tax
for the unexpired portion of the tax
year, 1t would be unreasonable to con-
clude that Congress intended the
amendment to apply to the current
year.
