CITIZENS WOULD
SPEND FUND
WIDELY

LYON PARK, Va. Feb. IT,
The Arlington District Council
OF Citizens Associations, meeting
at the home Of A. A. Moore,
the secretary, went on record
as strongly opposed to the ex.
penditure at this time of any
part Of the 100000 recently re-
cetved by the county from the
City OF Alexandria as the final
settlement in the annexation pro
ceedings.
The resoluation offered by the
special committee headed by c. I.
kephart, from Ashton Heights;
DR.. j. T. Wallace, from Lyon
Park, and Robert F.. Freer, from
Lyon Village. and adopted set
forth that it is the opinion in
some sections that the entire
100000 should be expended in
the remaining part of jefferson
district only. which would not
only he illegal, but would work
q serious injury to the interests
Of Washington and Arlington dis
trictS.
Protests Allotment
It Is further pointed out that
the District Council protests the
allotment Of this money by the
county board Of supervisors until
the full needs Of the county as
whole can be thoroughly de-
termined and allotments made to
meet those needs.
AS stated by the committee,
there are no objections to the
board Of supervisors using such
amounts of the funds &c retire
the bonds on the George Mason
High School, now located IN the
city of Alexandra, at their ma
turity or to the expenditure of
funds needed to make needed
adIiitirl.s to the Washington Lee
High School to take care Ut the
ever increasing crowded condi.
ticnS.
Should Be Held Intact
The resolution strongly claims
that the remainder of the funds
legally belong to the county as a
whole and shouli be he'd intact
as a special fund for a later dis
position as the needs of the peo-
pie of the county, after a careful
investigation and study find
needs for the use Of it.
The matter will come before
the board Of supervisors at its
meeting today at the courthouse.
Grove E. Payne was re elected
president. Other officers are DR..
J. T. Wallace, first vice president;
R. P. Ballinger, second vice presi
dent; A. 4. Moore, secretary
treasurer and Robert r. Free"

GROUP FIGHTING
FOR CEDARS

MARTINSBURG, w. Va, Feb.
17.-Demand for the names of the
10 farmers who were signers of a
petition to cut cedars on certain
properties in the Shepherdstown
area has been made by the Farm
ers' Alliance, of Shepherdstown, in
in a letter to State Entomologist
w. E. Rumsey, in charge of the
cutting.
The alliance was recently or
ganized by agricultural men in
that district to resist the cedar
tree eradication program.
In addition to demanding the
names of the signers, the organi.
zation addressed a letter to J. w
Smith, commissioner of agricul
ture, charging that horticultural
interests were dominating the
work of the department of agricul
ture, to the detriment of the gen.
eral farmers interests.
A third communication answer
ed the statement of Gov. w. G
Conley, in which he criticised the
use of the flag to halt the cutting.
and suggested that the proper re
lief lay in the legislature. The al
liance'S counter-argument was that
legislative relief was too slow and
that while waiting the cedars are
being destroyed.

SENATE AMENDS
Va. RACE BILL

RICHMOND. Va. Feb. IT,
The Senate has passed by a
unanimous vote the Ball ra-
cial integrity bill defining every
one with any "ascertainable"
negro blood as "a colored per.
son." with exceptions as to the
Pamunkey and Mattaponi In
dians.
The bill had already passed
the House by a vote Of 76 to 9,
without any exception as to In
dianS. It is regarded as a fore
gone conclusion that the House
will agree to the clause in the
Senate bill excluding the Pa
munkey and Mattaponi Indians
from being classed as "colored'
as long as they are domiciled on
their reservations, and have one
fourth Indian blood and less
than one-sixteenth negro blood.

FAIRFAX NURSE
KEPT BUSY

FAIRFAX, Va, Feb. 1.-THE
semi-annual report Of the Fairfax
county health nurse, Mrs. Her
bert Seamons, shows that a total
Of 396 nursing visits were made
during a six-monthS period.
These included prenatal cases,
tubercular cases, vaccinations and
many other classes of patients.
Sanitary conditions in eight OF
As schools inspected were found
unsafe and remedial steps were
taken. In 10 homes sanitation
was likewise condemned. Many
special health talks were given
and four special health exhibits
were arranged. Thirteen dental
clinics, four tonSil clinics and two
tubercular clinics were held.
In ., the five-point tests with
school >children, SAL were listed
to receive the State 3honor Ger
tificate and LAT children were
found to have one or more
health defects. Corrections have
since been made in nearly 30
per cent of these cases. Most Of
the defects found were dental
troubles, with tonsils and adenoidS
coming next and poor eyes third.
Other cases recommended for a.
tention, included defective hear
ing, under weight, skin errup
tons, and two cases of goitre.
Patrons of the recently eStast
lished health unit are using these
results to show the value of this
work, particularly in correcting
minor health DEFICIENCIES among
school children which, il not
promptly treated, often lead to
permanent disability.

CLINIC To VISIT
FIVE SCHOOLS
Of SYSTEM

TAKOMA PARK, Md, Feb. IT.
The Takoma CMdO elementary
school will be the scene of the
first stand" of the country's
new rowing" dental clinic for
school children and children of
pre-School age, according to DR..
William A. Pratt, of Rockville
county health officer.
DR.. Pratt said it is hoped to
open the clinic within a week,
but that 1t certainly would be in
operation before the first of
March. It's commencement only
awaits arrival Of the portable
dental chair. which has been pur-
chased by the county.
Dentist Named
DR.. Joseph w. Voelker, of 10.
Willow Ave-, Takoma Park, has
been selected to conduct the local
clinic, DR.. Pratt announced. DR..
Voelker will work under the
supervision Of DR.. Pratt and Miss
Mary A. Potter, county nurse.
A definite schedule for move
ment Of the portable equipment,
which will be used in the clinics.
has been worked out. DR.. Pratt
said. After the work has been
completed at Takoma, the outfit
will be transferred to Woodside,
Falkland and Laytonsville, in the
order named. The work at the
other places will be supervised
by Miss Hermine Badenhoop and
Mrs. Mary Becker, county nurses.
While it is not known Just
how much time will be required
DIR. Pratt hopes that the neces-
sary work can be completed with
a two-week stand" at each
place.
Plan CoIOred Clinic
DR.. Pratt also announced that
next month a dental clinic of a
similar nature will be placed in
operation to serve the colored
schools Of the county. This work
will be confined principally to
the upper end of the county, the
health officer said.
Although the equipment used
in the clinics will be sent from
place to place. DR.. Pratt said,
arrangements are being made to
have local dentists take care of
the work in each town. DR..
Voelker is the only dentist de-
finitely decided upon at this time,
he said, but announcement Of
the others will be made before
the equipment is moved from
Takoma Park.
DR.. Pratt stressed the fact that
the clinics will be available only
to children who cannot afford to
pay the usual dentists fees. It is
not the desire of the county to
set up competition with the local
dentists, he said. The dentists
selected to do the work will be
Daid a small fee by the county,
Or. Pratt said.
Before the children will be
treated in the clinics, DR.. Pratt
said, consent of their parents
must be obtained.
The clinics are sponsored by
the parent-teacher associations in
the various communities.

Seattle glass moulder pleaded not
guilty by reason Of insanity today
when he was arr9jgned in superior
court on charge of numbering

Emery Els, husband OF the slain
woman, asked for more time to
prepare 4 plea and he was given
until Nov. II. Date Of Browns S
trial was set for December %.
Brown, according to the state,
was hired by ELS for $4,000 to shoot
Mrs. ELS. After the killing, how
ever. Els could tind only SEQ
with which to pay Brown.
AS Brown offered only an insan-

for the state to prove anything eX-
cept that Brown is sane to secure
death verdict or life imprison-

that the motion will be renewed
