RESIDENTS AGAIN URGED
TO GET COAL SUPPLIES
Fuel Obtainab1e Now, But Infu-
enza Among Miners Gradually Is
Decreasing Production.

Announcement has gone out from
the District fuel administration to the
effect that the householder who does
not procure his coal now will have
none to blame but himself if his coal
bin is empty when the time for start
ing the furnace arrives.
1t also was stated at the local fuel
administration Office today that more
coal had been delivered by dealers
from April 1 to noon today than from
April 1 to the following January in
any, other year.
Every effort, it was stated today, is
being made to care for those who
have no coal. and their needs are
being attended to with almost imme-
date dispatch.
1t is pointed out by the District
Fuel Administration that Spanish in
fluenza has appeared in coal regions
and as a result production is being
greatly decreased. With a continual
ton of this situation, it is said by the
fuel administration, the supply of coal
for the District will be decreased, so
that those who do not take advantage
of present coal conditions may find
themselves without coal for the WIN
ter weather.

SENATE COMMITTEE
AMENDS CORPORATION TAX
Flat Rate of 12 Per Cent on Net
Income Is Latest
Proposal.

The Senate finance committee today
amended tho corporation tax SO as to
make it a fiat tax Of IL per cent on the
net income. The House bill provides
that the tax will be Is per cent, except
that the rate shall be IL per cent where
the amount of the net income does not
exceed the amount of dividends paid
during the taxable year, plus the amount
paid out of earnings or profits in dis
charge of bonds and other interfering
obl1gatio and the amount paid during
the taxable year in the purchase of
liberty loan bonds of the fourth issue
and subsequent issues.
The effect of the Senate committee
amendment is to eliminate the addi-
tlonal per cent tax against undis-
tributed earnings. The Secretary OF
the Treasury, however, is to have full
power to determine whether the
amount of undiStributed earnings re-
turn is in excess of the amount re-
CURED by the business.
Any amount that is excessive will
have to pay surtaxes. 1t is estimated
that the change made by the Senate
committee will reduce the amount OF
revenue from the tax on corporations
by about $4,000. 900. 1t was ex-
planned that with the present condi-
lions corporations are compelled to
retain a considerable amount of I'M
distributed earnings in ordc' to con-
duct their business and the Senate
committee amendment is to grant re-
lease.

MISSION NURSES STRICKEN.
Motherless Children Caretakers
Halted in Endemic Work.

The two nurses who have been con-
nected with the Children's Home OF
the Gospel Mission have been COM
pelled to leave their patients and treat
themselves for influenza. The SUI
perintendent appeals for volunteer
help in caring for the motherless chill
dren who are suffering with the cpl
demic. Twelve children have been
cared for this week and Supt. Kline
saws beds will accommodate more if
help can be obtained.
One striking case is now receiving
helm from the mission. a father and
mother. both war workers. came from
Kentucky with their two babies. The
mother recently died and the father
has left his children with the mission
while he is burying his wife in Ken
lucky.
Mrs. Kline, who is trying to care
for all twelve sick babies in the care
of the mission, says the children of the
Kentucky war worker cry for their
dead mother She ,is unable to give
proper attention t6t each sick baby,
hence the appeal for volunteer aid.
There is room at the mission to care
for more children. There are many
more children needing care. If the
aid can be volunteered to the mission
it can perform greater and more
efficient service.

INTERLEAGUE OF NATIONS
URGED FOR WORLD PEACE
DR.. Boke of California Presents
Plan Before Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.

Establishment of an interleagu. of
nations as a means of securing world
peace was urged today before the
Senate foreign relations committee by
DR.. Boke, professor of international
law of the University of California
DR.. Boke in his proposal went further
than the plan outlined by supporters
of the league of nations and proposed
the maintenance of a common army
and navy as we'll as an interallied
judicial system. together with the
bower to tax. In many ways. he said,
the plan was similar to that by which
our. federal government in this coun-
try was established with various func-
tions which do not interfere with
those of the state governments.

Scoring 100 Per Cent.

I'm the matter of supplying .medi-

ing 100 per cent. However, the urgent
possessed of some knowledge of that
profession, to care for homes in which
whole families are stricken, is felt
The Red Cross organization is hopeful
of enrolling many of this class of
women now engaged in other work
1t is gratifying and most helpful
in our efforts to stamp out the con-
tasion that the heads of the govern
ment war activities have come to
our aid, shutting off the large num-
Der of new clerks and others coming
to the city each day. The critical
housing conditions where there is
much necessary overcrowding, a con-
dition favorable to the spread of the
contagion, demanded that no more
clerks be brought to the city until
the danger of contagion has passed.
L feel that this order of the heads
of departments and the civil service
commission already has contributed
in large measure to help us master
the situation and stop the contagion
among the war workers."
DR.. NJ. F. Harrison of the public
health service, acting in the absence
of DR.. Mustard and stationed as di-
recting head of the joint work with
the District health service, said this
morning that. as he viewed the stu
alton, there was great hope that the
high record of the spread of the dis
ease had been reached. He asks that
owners of automobiles who would be
willing to lend the use of their cars
for an hour, day or night or any part
thereof, to aid in sending the physi-
clans and nurses to the homes from
which sick calls are made, report to

However, I am not to be under
stood as saying that we have mas
tered the situation. in fact, but a
careful survey of the information
