The Instructive Visiting Nurses.

The Instructive Visiting Nurse Soci.
ETY. is this week presenting to the
Washington public its appeal for the
$500 needed 10 complete it's 1928
budget. The effort should serve two
highly desirable ends. Primarily, of
course. 1t should produce the funds
which are essential TO carrying for
ward the splendid work performed by
the society. And, secondarily, but Of
almost equal importance. II should
bring home to the National Capital
the story OF the purposes OF the So
ciety and of the methods under which
it functions. For, despite the very
general use made OF the visiting nurse
services-97 900 visits to 10000 pa.
tients were made in the District in
1926-there are undoubtedly many who
are still unaware of the efficient and
practical nursing care which is avail
able to any Washingtonian irrespec
tive of his income.
Briefly. the nature and purpose OF
the society may be set forth as fol
lows: 1t is a private, non-sectariar
organization with a staff Of 36 gradu
ate public health nurses who give
nursing care In the home Of any one
who needs their aid on daily visit
basis. 1t renders its services to any
who ask for them--those of moderate
income who can afford the fu!i-pay

Matrimony, Sex and Taxes.

Single "blessedness" wants its in
come tax reduced. Appearing before
the House ways and means commit
tee yesterday, representatives of the
National Federation OF Business and
Professional Women's Clubs asked
that unmarried women and unmar-
ried men be given the same exemp-
ton from the income tax as married
men without children.
This is something new in the
philosophy Of taxation. Frequent sug-
gestions have been made In the past
that bachelors be taxed, on the theor,
that they were better able to nay
taxes than married men who have
wives and children to support.
The exemption permitted in tn,
present tax law for married men il
| $4,000. and the same exemption Is
permitted a woman who is the head
Of a family with dependents to sup.
port. Unmarried men and women
without dependents, have only $1,5O(
exemption. According to the WON.
en- appearing before the House com.
mittee yesterday. this is not O fail
arrangement. Unmarried womer
earning less than $500 live up t,
what they make and presumably s,
do the men, they argued. Poor mel
take wives unto themselves and re-
ceive an increased tax exemption
thereby.
Probably even poor men who MARI,
are not actuated particularly by f,
desire to have a larger tax exemp
ton. But If that thought creeps int,
the minds OF some of them, Uncl
Sam may congratulate himself Of
his new role as Cupid. AT the hear
} ings yesterday 1t was estimated tina
more than two million unmarrie'
persons, men and women, are payinI
- taxes on small incomes. Doubtless
