Mrs. Coles Resignation AS a
Public Health Nurse Regretted

To the Editor of The Republican.
With much regret we learn through
the press of Mrs. Samuel Coles resig-
nation as public health nurse of Gar
rett county.
We realize the loss of her services
will be felt throughout the districts
where she endeared herself to those
about her in ministering to the sick,
bringing comfort to the needy and in
training and graduating over hun
dred of our county women in home
hygiene and care of the sick-a course
she taught during the past months.
Mrs. Cole was sent by the State
Department of Health in 1927 to Gar
rett county. She established health
center at Kitzmiller and with the as
sistance of the people of the commu-
nifty conducted pre-school, infants
eye and dental and tuberculosis elm
les, each year holding a "health day"
celebration, which was visited by
many physicians from sections of the
State, among them being Drs. Riley,
Knox, Leonard, Sharretts and Frank
lin, of Baltimore and Cumberland.
She also conducted examinations of
the children in small communities and
did it satisfactorily.
At one time when children's eyes
were being examined by Mrs. Cole
and little or no money was forthcom-
ing to supply needed glasses for them
a generous friend came to her help
and supplied sufficient funds for fifty
pairs of glasses. Over two hundred
were treated bV dentists.
Mrs. Cole has been and is still busy
assisting in the many cases of typhoid
fever at Vindex and l am informed
will have charge of the Red Cross
work. A FRIEND.

CITIZENS B A OK
BUS TERMINAL

The Federation of Citizens
Associations today were united
with proponents of the Grey
hound Bus Lines proposal to
build a terminal in the 140O
block New York Ave. N. w. The
application is to be heard by the
Public Utilities Commission at 10
a. m. Thursday. The commission
has indicated its opposition to
the plan.
The federation's approval with
certain reservations was voted
following a special meeting of the
executive committee last night at
which the pros and cons" we're
presented. The reservations in
clude prohibitions on left turns
of buses, increase of number Of
busseS now in operation, and any
service other than passenger.
United with the commission
against the terminal are the
Washington Railway and Electric
Company and the Short Line
busses. The Short Line made
application for the same site
several months ago. The applica-
ton was turned down without
public hearing.

ALLEGATION of space in public

Agriculture was attacked in Police
Court today by Maurice Parshall,
official of the Internal Revenue
Bureau, who was arraigned on

"for official parking only"
Briefs will be filed in the case

NEW RULING

Because the appropriation of a
government depar ent or
branch is much smaller than
last year, that department neces-
sarily need not act on the theory
that certain jobs were automatic
ally abolished by the decrease in
funds, Comptroller General j. R.
MCCarl ruled today.
The Treasury Department had
protested having to impound a
years salary. as required by the
Economy Act, for every position
vacant on July /. The Treasury
contended that lesser appropria-
tions abolished certain jobs.
However. McCarl wrote that
the mere fact of reduced appro-

CURTIS To TRAIL

IN WEST
Vice President Prepares Tour
of Speech Making to Hit
Points Governor Scored

Vice Presiden Charles Cur
tbs today prepared to leave
the capital on a campaign trip
expected to take him through
the West in the wake of Gov.
Franklin D. Roosevelt, the
Democratic presidential candi-
date.
Determined to challenge Roose-
velt's speeches, as he did in his
opening speech in Pennsylvania,
the Vice President indicated he
would be almost daily on the
stump between now and election
day.
Enters South First
Curtis is slated to speak in
Knoxville, Tenn, tomorrow night,
in Chattanooga the next night,
and then join Representative
Thatcher RD of Kentucky,
Senatorial candidate in that
State, for a two-day tour. Fol
lowing this invasion Curtis will
speak in west Virginia and then
turn Westward.
National Chairman Everett
Sanders, after visit with Curtis,
said that an extended tour is
being mapped out for Curtis.
The Vice President is expected
to speak in Missouri, Oklahoma,
all of the Pacific Coast States,
and perhaps stump the northern
tier of farm belt States on his
return.
"GOing to Win"-Sanders
Sanders returned to Chicago
following conferences with Presl-
dent Hoover and others, deter
mined to speed the campaign. He
said:
I'VE are going to win"
The tariff as a campaign issue
loomed more prominently as re-
suit of the discussions.
Curtis, it is known, believes the
Republicans should challenge the
Democratic position all along this
line. He returned from Pennsyl-
vania confident his speech on the
relation of the tariff to agricul-
ture was a pronounced success.
Practising the economy which
rules the campaign because of
difficulty of raising money, Cur
tbs planned to make his first tour
without a private car. Later, how
ever, a private car will be. pro-
vided by the national committee
for his Western tour.

CinCinnati'S Manager Flags
Those Who Govern for
Personal Profit

Politicians who have en-
tered public life for profit
were taken over the Goals to-
day by c. A. Dykstra, city
manager of Cincinnati, in an
address before the Conference
on Planning, Parks and Gov
ernment at the Willard Hotel.
Answering the query, Can a
city government be run like an
efficient private buSiness?" the
Cincinnati manager declared that
the only way to purge city gov
ernment of excessive expendi,
lures would be to oust those in
control who introduce their busi,
ness methods for their personal
profit.
The cost of government in the
present financial crisis, the con.
ference was told by D. H. Saw,

ployment Sterilization Board. can

sighted planning in government
Too Much Expansion
The present difficulties of this
country, he said, are due in no
small degree to the ever increas
ing demands for more public
improvements "often without re
gard to their relative necessity
or the ability of the community
to pay for them"
Haphazard growth of many
communities, improvements made
before necessity existed, have
placed undue burden on the tax
payers, he added.
Murray Seasongood, former
mayor of Cincinnati, was re
elected today as president of the
National Municipal League. Louis
Brownlow, director of the Public
Administration Clearing House
of Chicago, former District Com
missioner, was named first vice
president.
