APPROPRIATIONS DELAYED.
National Tax Measure to Be Acted
Upon First.

The 1888 District appropriation bill
probably will not be reported to the
House for at least two weeks, 1t was
indicated today as members of the sub
committee on appropriations worked dill
gently to put the measure in shape for
final consideration.
The bill, it was said, will not be
placed before the House until the new
national tax measure and the depend
ent offices appropriation bill are out of
the way Indications are that the tax
bill will not be disposed of before the
latter part of next week The independ-
ent offices supply bill will next be con-
sidered and its disposition is expected
to take several days.
Members of the subcommittee re-
vealed several weeks ago that, unless
the four Mapes tax increase bills have
been acted on by the Senate by the
time the District bill Is reported to the
House, they proposed to write into the
measure a provision for an increase in
the District tax rate.
Since the bill will carry $500, 900 as
the amount Of the Federal contribution,
the tax increase, 1t was said, will be
required to raise an additional $3,00O,-
900, as the 1888 budget was predicated
on a $9,500000 contribution by the
United States.
The present tax rate is $17O. Mem
bers OF the subcommittee believe an
increase. Of 25 or 80 cents on each 500
OF assessed valuation will be necessary
to raise the additional $4,000, 900.
The proposal to increase real estate
taxes has been interpreted in some
quarters as threat to the Senate.

Five Lines Fail to Answer
Letters-16 Replies
''Indefinite."

Chairman Mason M. Patrick OF the
Public Utilities Commission said today
that only Is of the 81 interstate bus
operators doing business in the District

mission inquiring what steps had been
taken to get the bus terminals out of

An order adopted last August by the

April l, 1882. The same order forbids
the use Of any curb terminal In the

PRAYERS ARE OFFERED
FOR LINDBERGH BABY
DR.. w, Russell Bowie of New York
Conducts Lenten Service
Today.

Prayers for the return Of the kid
naped Lindbergh child were offered to-
day by DR.. w. Russell Bowie of New
York, at Lenten services in the New
York Avenue Presbyterian Church.
DR.. Bowie declared the abduction Of
the baby had brought home to the gen.
eral public the infinite preciousness of
human life. He said he had been told
of prediction by an underworld char
acter that organized kidnapping would
take the place of bootlegging should the
eighteenth amendment be repealed.
The minister said what this country
needs is the recovery of moral integrity.
He added, every one should remember
how little they know, and how much
more they ought to understand.
Though We need the wisdom of ex-
perience," DR.. Bowie said, I'VE must not
lose our sense of expectancy. We must
not reach the point where we have
nothing to look forward to. We must
always believe in the wilderness of the
possibilities of life"
Dd. Bowie will speak again tomorrow
at 1920 pm, under the auspices of
the Washington Federation of Churches.

CHANGE IS ASKED
IN HOME CARE ACT
Amendment Sought by City
Heads Would Require Two
Years Residence.

Home care of dependent children
would be denied applicants unless they
had been bona fide residents OF the
District for at least two years under
an amendment to the home care act
recommended today by the District
Commissioners. The present law stipu-
lates that applicants for assistance shall
have been bona fide residents for one
year.
A copy of the proposed amendment
and letter explaining its objects were
made public by Representative Mary T.
Norton of New Jersey, chairman OF the
House District Committee. The letter,
signed by Luther H. Reichelderfer,
chairman Of the Board of Commission
erS, said, in part: 1T has become in
creasingly apparent to the Board OF
Public Welfare that because of the
comparatively short period of residence
required by the act, persons who are
eligible to this assistance, except in the
matter of residence. are coming to the
District, establishing their residence Of
one year and Immediately making
their applications.
1T is felt that this practice would
be deferred by an increase in the pc
riod of time an applicant must reside
in the District of Columbia before be-
coming eligible to home care"

BY THOMAS r. HENRY.

A census of the gods is being con-
Quoted by the Catholic Anthropological
Conference, with headquarters at the
Catholic University here.
From missionaries scattered all over
the globe as census takers, the an
thropologists hope to secure further in
formation on the scores of weird deities
still worshiped by millions of primitive
people from the African jungles to the
Arctic icebergs.
The census Of the gods Is part Of a
larger information seeking project on
the relation between religion and moral
ity among primitive peoples.
A QUESTIONABLE has been prepared
for use of the missionaries which lists
the desired information regarding the
god himself, his relations with his
people, his attitude toward good and
evil. and numerous other matters. AS
a result of this census it is hoped to
obtain fuller insight into the process by
which Religious concepts have developed
in the human mind through the ages.
Savage Gods Differ Vastly.
There are enormous individual Diff
ferenceS among savage gods, according
to Rev. DR.. John M. Cooper, secretary
OF the conference, who prepared the
QUESTIONABLE. There is some reason
to believe the general outline Of the
deity's character is correlated with the
cultural status of his worshipers. But.
DR.. Cooper explains, the problem now
is in very confused state Present
information concerning the gods is OBJ
tained from the reports of missionaries.
explorers, adventures and scientific
Investigators. Some reports are based
on careful research, some on mere
hearsay, some on rationaliZations of
white men unframed in anthropology
who interpret all information in terms
of their own culture, and some merely
on the desire to tell an exciting story.
Yet, it is explained, any attempt at
systematic study of primitive religious
must give weight to all these sources
in order to secure any material The
probability of error is too great for
reliable statistical treatment.
Another point upon which informa-
ton is desired from the flung mis-
sionaries is concerning the morality Of
primitive peoples. 1t has been the
custom, DR.. Cooper explains, for many
visitors to native tribes to describe them
as extremely virtuous or extremely
vicious. If traveller happens to be

himself irreligious, he will often bring
back glowing accounts OF the simple
honesty and chastity of a tribe. Mis-
sionaries. on the other hand. too often
are inclined to paint their charges in
the blackest colors because of their
heathen state.
Communities Have Black Sheep.
Actually, DR.. Cooper believes. there
are individual differences in character
nearly everywhere. just as there are
in any civilized community. Some will
be found highly virtuous, according to
the tribal moral ideal, and close ex-
animation will show that the primitive
community has its black sheep who
defy the moral code. Those who an
swer the QUESTIONABLE are asked es-
pecially to ascertain the facts in this
respect.
A special purpose of the question
naire Is to ascertain the relationship
among primitive peoples between re-
ligion and morality. Some Of the gods
reward and punish good and evil, in
the concepts of their worshipers.
Others are entirely unconcerned about
what the individual does so long as
he performs the required rituals and
makes the necessary offerings.
Questions TO Be Answered.
Among the questions to be answered
concerning each tribe are
Is there belief in and worship Of
Supreme Being, of inferior gods and
beings, Of ghosts and ancestors? Does
there exist belief in reward or punish
ment after death in accordance with
good or bad moral conduct on earth?
Is reward or punishment bestowed by
supernatural beings or does it just fol-
low automatically? Is the whole social
order looked upon as instituted in con-
formity with the will of a Supreme
Being or of lesser supernatural beings?
Do supernatural beings protect their
devotees against thieves, murderers or
other malefactors? Detailed information
also is asked on the native ideals and
practices regarding obedience, generos-
ity, control of temper, truthfulness,
honesty. temperance, gambling. chastity,
respect for parents, for human life, in
fanticide, suicide, cannibalism, hospi-
tality and care of the aged and sick.
Contemporary survival of the practice
OF cannibalism recently has been re-
ported by at least two missionaries re-
porting to the conference, although it is
rigidly forbidden by all the nations with
colonial possessions.

when the purpose is to determine fair
or adequate tax burden.
The last column of the table pre-
sents the per capita cost for operation,
maintenance and interest. With the
interest included, it is shown that
Washington's per capita is higher than
the per capita of 6 of the IA cities
compared-these cities being Chicago,
Philadelphia, st. Louis, Baltimore. San
Francisco and Milwaukee; that it ap-
proximates the per capita burden in
Cleveland; that it is exceeded by the
per capita burden in New York City,
Detroit, Los Angeles, Boston, Pitts
burgh and Buffalo.
OF course all Of these cities are
larger than Washington, and, in a COM
parison of tax burdens, would not be in
cluded. 1t is interesting to show, how
ever. what the results are when the
comparison is made between the per
capita cost for operation and mainte-
nance. with interest payments deducted.

ON PROBE
OF CHILD HEALTH
Committee Named Last Year
Submit 27 Proposals to
Commissioners.

The committee on child welfare set
up by the District Commissioners a
year ago to study conditions of health
and welfare of children in the District
and to recommend a comprehensive
plan to improve those conditions, 4"
submitted 30-page report to the Com

The report urges no radical depar-
lures, but rather an extension of facili-
ties now in existence in the Health De-
partment, the Board of Public We'll
fare, the school system. and the private
charitable and welfare organizations,
and passage of legislation to make the
tasks of some of these departments
easier and more effective.
The appointment of the committee
was the result of charges made by

thropist. before the House District
Committee last year that thousands of
Washington school children were under
fed. The report touches this problem
somewhat lightly and offers no sta
tistics concerning it. The section of

TO TELL CAPPER
Of MAPES INQUIRY
Experts Have Completed
Some Angles of District
Fiscal Investigation.
SENATOR WOULD STUDY
PROGRAM IN ENTIRETY
D. c. Appropriation Bill to Be De-
layed Pending Action on
Capital Taxes.

Officials of the Bureau of Efficiency
probably will confer this afternoon
with Chairman Capper of the Senate
District Committee on the progress
the bureau Is making in its analysis OF
the Mapes bill, by which the House is
seeking to increase District taxation
and reduce the Federal share in the
expenses of the National Capital.
Herbert D. Brown, chief of the Bu-
reau. and Thomas F. Murphy, assistant
chief, communicated with Senator Cap
per and arranged to see him later in
the day. The efficiency experts have
completed some angles of the study
but are still working on others and it
Is presumed ths conference will be de-
voted principally to the question of the
procedure to be followed in transmit
ing reports.
Each Measure Studied.
There are five separate bills COM
prlsng the Mapes program, and the
bureau was requested by the Senate
committee chairman to make a careful
study Of each measure. 1t is probable
that one Of the questions to be dis
cuSsed at the conference will be whether
reports should be submitted on what
mas been Gone this far, or whether the
data should be transmitted when it
Is completed.
Senator Capper already has indicated
his belief that the committee should
take up the program as a whole rather
than attempt to consider the various
phases separately.
s4,000,00 Increase Asked.
Four of the Mapes bills are intended
to increase the Districts tax burden
by total of approximately $4,000, 900
in the following directions: BY local
estate tax, local income tax in lieu
of the intangible personal tax, an in
crease from to 4 cents a gallon in the
gasoline tax and tax on motor vehicles
by weight.
The fifth bill seeks to wipe from the
statute books the substantive law, which
provided for apportionment of District
expenses on the ratio of so per cent
by District taxpayers and 40 per cent
by the United States. Although the
House has insisted on annual lump-sum
Federal contributions in lieu of a fixed
percentage for a number of years, the
substantive 60-40 law never has been
repealed.
