Health Department Program Approved
BY Advisory Committee Last, Week
- s4
Report Will Be Submitted To Montgomery County Com
missiOners-Public Relations Emphasized School
Hygiene An Imprtant Goal For The Year

The proposed county health de.
partment program approved by the
advisory committee last Friday en-
phasizes public relations, school n.y.
giene and other important factors of
community health regulation.
The program will be submitted to
the Montgomery County Commits
sioners for their approval. The re-
port is based largely upon the re-
suits of series of conferences held
in July.
Extracts from the report follow:
Public Acknowledgements will be
placed on maintaining the support of
those groups of public spirited citi-
zens which succeeded in arranging
for DR.. Freeman's recent health sur
vey. Occasional meetings will be
arranged of groups of the citizens
who met last July and discussed
each branch Of the county's health
work.
The Health Department will COOP
crate with the Medical Society in ar
ranging programs which will promote
the practice of preventive medicine.
If possible, reports of health &C.
Invites will be released to news
papers once week instead of once
a month, as in the past.
School Hygiene Medical inspection
will be carried on in certain schools
on an intensive basis in order to
estimate the value of a complete
health service to school children. In
this work parents and attending ply
dcians will be asked to be present
at examinations. Teachers will dc
the first part Of the follow up work
to the homes urging parents to con-
suit their physicians regarding cor
receive work. Nurses will do the
second part of the follow I'D con-
sisting of making arrangements for
dispensary and hospital visits, trans
porting children, etc. When possible
these medical Inspections will be done
at the same time as a dental clinic
is established in the school, and al
about the same time as a pre-school
clinic is held. The assistance of the
Parent-Teacher Association will bt
utilized to the greatest possible ex.
tent, particularly in overcoming the
great obstacle of securing parents
consent for corrective work.

trative authority, is not large in extent
or as populog. But Japan laid tenacious
claim to the trio of island groups as
part Of her share of the German booty
distributed at Versailles In 1919. 1t is
safe prophecy that the relinquish-
ment Of her mandates, as a necessary
consequence Of quitting the League, will
cause Japan to consider twice and
thrice whether it is price worth pay
ing. Such as the Mariannes, Caro-
lines and Marshalls are, the islands do
constitute that many outpcsts Of

would withdrawal from Geneva require
their forfeiture, but-and that might
be even more painful to Tokio-the
mandates would be handed over to other
powers whose pretensions to a say In
Asiatic affairs the japanese are even
now bitterly resenting.

the rivets that will fasten Japan to the
League despite the irksomeness of the
bond. Toxic is net at the moment

The Missing Tax Bills.

The Senate District Committee be-
gins its consideration today OF the
four tax bills recommended by the
Mapes Committee as a part Of its pro-
gram for increasing the local burden
OF taxation and reducing the Federal
contribution. But these four bills are
| only part Of its program for in
| creasing local taxation. There were
two other measures proposed by the
| Mapes Committee, the absence of which
from the present program is significant
The Mapes Committee reported that
certain public utilities in the District
were escaping what the committee be-
lieved was fair tax, and that certain
property of steam railroads should be
placed upon the assessment rolls OF
the latter the committee report said.
1T is only fair and equitable that all
privately owned property, especially
that used for commercial purposes and
profit, be placed upon the assessment
roll for taxes. There should be no such
thing as favoritism in the levy Of taxes
upon such classes of property All
should be treated with relative equality
in the levy of taxes"
But after the committee had reported
on other bills to tax private citizens in
the District it declared: THE commit
tee feels that the changes recommended
in the laws relating to the taxation of
certain public utilities and of the prop
erty of the steam railroads should be
considered and perfected by the regu-
lar standing legislative COMMITTEES on
the District of Columbia; that to per-
feet such legislation would require more
time and consideration including the
hearing of those interested and affected
by the proposed changes, than this
committee is justified or warranted in
taking for that purpose"
Up to this time nobody else has felt
justified or warranted" in taking the
time or the trouble to correct what the
Mapes Committee concluded was an
inequality in taxation of public utili-
ties and steam railroads.
Who is going to take this time and
expend the energy necessary to collect
more revenue from the public utilities
and the steam railroads in the Districts
The revenues from additional taxation
of these agencies would yield an esti-
mated 1915, ,000-a greater revenue than
the estimated yield of the estate tax
and about twice as much as the auto
mobile weight tax, as modified by the
Bureau of Efficiency recommendations
upon which the Senate Committee be-
gins its hearings today
The proposals to increase the tax
burden of the private citizen in the
District were shot through the House
at lightning speed. The report on
these measures was adopted December
IS by the Committee of the Whole.
To date not finger has been turned
to follow the recommendations of the
Mapes committee and tax public utili-
ties and steam railroads.

Constitution Avenue.

Consideration is to be given by the
National Capital Park and Planning
Commission to the question OF the
width of Constitution avenue, formerly
street. which is being developed in
connection with the great public build
ing program in the Mall-Avenue tri-
angle. The Commission of Fine Arts
recommends a uniform width Of eighty
feet from the Capitol to the river. An
alternative proposal has been advanced
that the avenue be Of varying widths,
eighty feet to Virginia avenue. seventy
two feet thence to Twenty-third street
and sixty-four feet to the river. This
tapering Of the avenue would not, it Is
believed be suitable in view of the fact
that it is to constitute the main ap-
proach to the Memorial Bridge and
thence by the new boulevard to Mount

Japan and China can come TO an agree
ment. The Japanese are Oriental
enough to be thoroughly at home in
the manipulation of face-saving fictions,
and II the realities can be arranged. the
forms will present little difficulty. Thus,
quite apart from whatever the League
OF Nations, whose commission is now at
Shanghai, may do in the matter, the
permanent separation of Manchuria
from China cannot be taken as a fore
gone conclusion"
Pointing out that 'Manchuria is oc-
cupied in violation of the nine-power
treaty" the Oakland Tribune draws the
conclusion: "One may pity young Henry
Pu-Yi, who, as if by miracle. was given
the opportunity to believe he was fol-
lowing the footsteps of his ancestors
who stepped to thrones of high power.
This newest ruler who is not quite
sure what title he will be allowed to
assume. is figurehead in an area which
seems destined for trouble. He may
have an encourage, issue orders to
gentlemen who will Jump about, but the
business Of developing Manchuria and
collecting what riches it may have Is
in other hands. Pu-Yi, with his Office
in land which. is not recognized and
is beset with danger, is little fellow
IN need Of friend
AS to the change from the traditional
policy of the United States, the Fort
Worth Star Telegram states The de-
parture from this policy follows auto
matically upon the fact that the United
states took the initiative in bringing
into existence the Kellogg BRAND pact
and the nine-power treaty, which 1t
holds is violated by the separation Of
Manchuria from China. The
United States and others Of the great
powers who are signatories of the
treaties are not likely to make the sit
uation any easier for Japan by extend
ing recognition"
"Protracted military operations will
bankrupt Japan" declares the MilWau-
kee Journal, with the further comment:
The Japanese, late in learning the
brutal craft of empire building, are
later in learning the fate of empire
builders. The Path of imperialism to-
ward the west is Strewn with the re-
mains of empires, but the japanese, like
all the innperialists before them, prefer
to ignore the lessons of the ruins. They
will push on to the collision with Rus
sia. 1t seems to be the doom of all men
that they may not learn that their
empires must always be destroyed"
For every Chinese in Manchuria,"
concludes the Appleton Post Crescent,
there are Is of his blood south of the
Great WALL and should the 400, ,O0O. 900
people of the l8 provinces in China sue
ceed in finding the secret of national
unity, 1t is hard to see how the Man.

gravitating to this great mass unless
they should be held back by some

i course Of erection and those later to be
is one Of the most striking features OF
the new Capital development plan. 1t
would be unfortunate to lessen its width
at any point, diminishing its traffic-car-
rying capacity and its vistalike char
acter. There are no practical consider
ations to require such variation. The
land necessary for the maintenance of a
uniform width from the Capitol to the
river is available. At the eastern end
it is being provided by the razing OF
buildings now obtruding over the
projected line. At the western end no
obstacles obtrude to occasion any de-
parture from the contemplated line.
Experience has proved the wisdom
Of uniformity of street widths in Wash
ington. When the street system was
established, in the early days OF Capt.
tai planning, the breadth of the thor
oughfareS appeared to be extravagant.
At that time no concept was enter
tanned of the great volume Of traffic
that would flow through them. That
this vision of the planners was correct,
however, has been demonstrated re-
peatedly as Washington has grown, not
only in its own development, but In
its character as the city of American
pilgrimage, the scene of frequent great
assemblages and, in later years, of I'M
mense throngs moving toward common
objectives.
The construction of the Memorial
Bridge and the Mount Vernon Boule-
ward has opened the way to shrine
that annually attracts great numbers
of visitors. These numbers will grow
constantly and the approaches to the
scenes of historic interest should be as
commodious as possible to accommodate
them without congestion or delay. To
that end there should be no jig-saw
outlines on the chief avenue of access.
