Strange as it may seem farm land in Con- necticut is today worth more than in any other state in the nation. A recent survey has just disclosed this fact. Whether or not this will encourage back to the farm move ment remains to be seen. At any rate it should encourage people to hold their farm land, perhaps improve it. Certainly it will reveal to our public officials the need to equalize taxes so that real e5tateNwon't bear the burden and force home owners to lose their property.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS Nice Legs, $15 a Pair

want to thank you for what you have lone for us poor women with yaricose veins. Two years ago went to Dr. - and had mine treated.. Five treatments for $15.. Isn't that cheap enough for nice legs?. (Mrs J. FL
 Answer--It was kind of your doctor. There ire many thousands of women who suffer both disability and embarrassment from vari- cose veins on the legs. In most cases they may have the veins obliterated by chemical inection without being detained more than an hour for each injection. Once more l warn against submitting to any treatment at the hands of institutes" associations" or other impersonal corporations. If doctor is any good he practices under his own name.
 Meat and MIX.

 Answer--If tho combination of meat with milk appeals to the taste, 1t is quite all right As a rule bread and milk. or bread and meat arc appetizing in combination, but meat and milk are not. The gastric juice secretcd at the sight or taste of meat is we'll adapted tu digest bread also: but it Is not 50 well adapted to digest milk. However. this depends on in. rfviduai taste. and so if one relIshes milk with meat it is perfectly wholesome.

TOPIC OF Federation
TO BE LIQUOR CONTROL
Private Conferences Of Gas Engi.
neers Also to Be Discussed at
December Meeting Saturday.

The December meeting Of the Feder-
alton of Citizens Associations, to be
held next Saturday, Is expected to con-
Germ itself principally with questions OF
liquor regulation.
A special committee of the federation,
headed by Henry I. Quinn, is at work
on a selection Of the regulatory method
to be recommended for sanction by
Congress, although this has not yet
emerged in final shape. Mr.. Quinn was
present at a conference recently with
Corporation Counsel William w. Bride,
who is engaged in drafting bill for
the Commissioners. Mr.. Quinn said he
had not made up his mind as to any
particular measure. although he had
made several criticisms Of the Commis-
sioners' measure to Mr.. Bride.
One matter which may come before
the association is the question of
private conferences between engineers
for the Public Utilities Commission and
those of the Washington and George
town Gas Light Cos. held prior
to the open hearings on the valuation
of the companies properties. The fed
Grafton Is represented at the hearings
by William NICK. Clayton, chairman OF
its Committee on Public Utilities, and
as such he has protested vigorously
against the conferences. The Bright
wood Citizens Association at its last
meeting adopted a resolution indorsing
his stand.

RUSSIAN OIL STARTS
PRICE WAR IN ASIA
American and British Halve Prices
to Regain Market
Losses.

SHANGHAI CP)-A three-cornered
flight among American, British and
Russian oil Interests has driven prices
down to half Of what they were a few
months ago.
Until recently the occidental COM
panies controlled the oriental market,
but when the Soviet United Petroleum
Trust began to pour kerosene and
gasoline into China, japan and Man
churia conditions changed quickly.
The Russians now are said to have
captured third of the trade and the
western companies are on the warpath.
Champions of American and British
oils say their companies will cut prices
until the Russians are brought to their
knees. But the invaders say they are
far better equipped for such a war than
their opponents.
Both the Chinese and Japanese gov
ernments are reported to be assisting
the Russian interests.
In China a private oil company has
been formed. It is said to be. in
reality, the Nanking government gone
into the oil business. If that is true,
it has big advantage in being able to
avoid the heavy import duties.
Japan also Is reported to be handling
the Russian products through sup
posedly private company.

COLUMBIA HEIGHTS
CENTER IS SOUGHT
Citizens to Be Urged to Provide
Pecreation Means for Their
Children.

Approval Of the Powell Junior High
School gymnasium as recreational
center for boys of the Columbia Heights
meeting of the Citizens Forum Of Co.
lumbia Heights, Louis A. Holmes, d.
rector Of physical education Of the
school, announced yesterday.
Mr.. Holmes said a resolution seeking
the organizations recommendation to
use the school gymnasium, and peti-
tioning the Community Center Depart
ment, the Board of Education and the
District Commissioners for permission,
or in some other suitable manner pro-
vide recreational facilities for Columbia
Heights youths, would be introduced.
The present proposal to use the re-
creational room of the tenth precinct
is not practical, Mr.. Holmes contends.
as it has no facilities and no showers.
A personal plea to Supt. of Police
Ernest w. Brown by Mr.. Holmes
resulted in inspection of the Powell
gymnasium by Pvt. j. P. Meshkoff, the
officer appointed by Supt. Brown to
supervise precinct recreational centers.
Officer Meshkoff, Mr. Holmes declared.
reported the idea Of using the Powell
gymnasium good one.
The idea I particularly want to
stress is that something should be
done" Mr. Holmes said "I am willing
to donate my own time for the welfare
of the boys for I am interested in them,
and at present the only facilities avail
able are those of the Boys Club at
Third and c streets, nowhere near this
section
Because Of the current work Of Supt.
Brown and the District Commissioners
to establish recreational centers for
boys, members of the Citizens Forum
of Columbia Heights expressed their
opinions Informally at the last meeting
that action on the part Of the forum
should be delayed.

CIVIC COOPERATION.

Christmas, Inquest Systems

5 Trade Bodies Attention.

Greater unanimity Of viewpoint on
matters with which the people Of
Washington 60 before House and Sen
ate District Committees is anticipated
by trade organization leaders here,
after the invitation extended to them
by Melvin G. Hazen and George E.
Allen, newly appointed District Com
missioners, to confer with them on any
plans proposed for the city.
Speaking at a meeting Of the Men,
bership Forum of the Washington
Chamber of Commerce last week, the
city heads proposed that civic and
trade groups, before taking their re-
quests directly to Congress, discuss
them with District officials. In this
consolidated and differences worked out
United Front Is Sought.
Commissioner Hazen, who has long
been closely identified with District
affairs, believes there should be more
intimate relationship between the Com
missionerS and the trade groups, who
constitute, with citizens organizations,
the voice of he voteless community.
IF the vari Us groups in formulating
their programs" he said. would take
them up with the Commissioners, I be-
Eeve the results would be more salts
factory to them and to us. 1t would
pave the way for more practical pro-
grams and the Commissioners certainly
want to do, so far as is practical, the
things which the people of the Dis
triCt want done"
Having formulated a program, Mr..
Hazen said, the people can go to Con-
gress as united body, and with this
spirit Of accord can accomplish much
more.
Mr. Allen, who has been a member of
the Chamber of Commerce, through
his previous business affiliation, for
some time, said the policy of the Com
missioners will be to carry out the
wishes of the majority of its citizens.

CIVIC BODIES BACK
POLICE AFF|[|AT|ON
Regulations Set Aside by
Brown in Directing Off,
GERS Attendance.

Maj. Ernest w. Brown, superintendent
of police, established q precedent re-
Gently when he directed commanders Of
police precincts to attend meetings Of
the citizens associations In their re-
spective territories.
A regulation in the police manual
forbids all members Of the department
from taking part in public discussions
without approval of the major and
superintendent of the metropolitan
police force.
Because Of his desire to make the
members of the force, and especially the
supervising personnel. more civic mind
ed, Mai Brown decided to ignore the
manual in SO far as it concerned the
meetings Of the citizens associations.
Not only did Maj. Brown order his
commanding officers to take part in the
civic meetings, but he authorized at
taches Of the woman's bureau to dis
cuss police problems at meetings Of the
women's organizations of the city.
Mai. Browns order has been met with
widespread response from various civic
groups all over Washington. A num-
Der Of them have formally Endorsed his
plan and other organizations not in
cluded in the strict category Of citi-
zens' associations have invited police
officers to attend their meetings and
these is the Federation Of Business
Mems Associations.
A list of the citizens associations to-
gether with their officers and dates of
meetings has been procured by Maj.
Brown, and from this he has made a
record Of the meeting dates and notified
the captains in the precincts in which
the associations are located to be pres
ent or else delegate the lieutenant in
charge of the precinct station at night
to represent him.
Maj. Brown said he believes the at
tendance of the officers at the civic
meetings would not only aid the Or
CARNATIONS in the solution Of police
problems, but would be Of special bene-
At to the commanding officers them
problems of the residents In the COM
munities covered by their respective pre-
cincts.
Long before the order was issued
Mai Brown said. the officers of several
of the police precincts joined the citi-
zens' associations in the sections Of the
city covered by their territorial bound
aries. The order Of the police super
intendent, however, does not require the
officers to become members OF q ciu-
zens' association.
Maj Brown said Capt. Sydney Marks
of the eleventh precinct and Capt
Michael Collins OF the seventh pre-
cinct. had been members Of citizens
associations for several years.

SCHOOL TAX RATE
BOOST DEMANDED
Arlington County Women
Fight for Educational Ad-
vantages for Children.
BY a stafr Correspondent Of The Star.

BY stan Correspondent Of The Star.
CLARENDON, Va, November 25.-
With education as its principal aim,
the Arlington County Business and Pro-
fessional Women's Club has thrown
down the gauntlet to any officials and
anyone else who might oppose an
increase in the school tax rate for the
coming year and will conduct vigorous
campaign in behalf of every educational
advantage for the school children Of
Arlington County.
Aroused by the possibility Of the early
closing of the schools of the county
through lack of necessary funds for
a full term, the club has by unanimous
vote directed its Education Committee
20 take every step within its power to
avoid either the closing Of the schools
or the curtailment Of any necessary
school activity.
Want Full School Term.
The Educational Committee, consist
ing OF Miss Lille Turman, an Arlington
County teacher; Miss Helen Samuels, a
Washington teacher, and Miss Julia
Taliaferro is planning to use the entire
weight of the organization In securing
a sufficient tax rate increase next year
to insure a full school term and also
to increase the present low salaries of
teachers.
Formed less than five years ago, the
Business and Professional Women's
Club has quickly risen to one Of the
strongest civic organizations in Arling-
ton County. The first president was
Mrs Catherine G. Cohen and the sec
ond Mrs. Meliscent Willis. Each
served two terms. Mrs. Helen Collips
the present president, is servins sef
first term.
Assists School GEy<
The club has materially assisted a
number OF school girls to continue
their education and Is now engaged in
building up a scholarship loan fund
for the benefit of girls and young
women who need financial assistance
In securing an education that will
better fit them for business.
While the club has been active in
most civic affairs since its formation,
its most effective work, next to educa-
ton has been in sponsoring the sale
of Christmas seals.
During the four years in which the
club has sponsored the sale Of the seals
the funds for the prevention Of tuber-
culosis IN the county have grown ma
terially.

No Saloons
and Dry Residence Sections.

4 S THE citizens associations dis
IA close their conclusions follow
ing their study of liquor con-
troll after repeal, there seems to be
general trend in certain particulars.
All seem in agreement that there
shall be no saloons and many neigh
borhood bodies express desire that
the sale of hard liquors be kept out
of residence sections. Some con-
fine their recommendations strictly
to their own neighborhood, while
others urge confining such sales to
the downtown business sections. The
apparent intention of the chairmen
of the District committees to rush
consideration of liquor control legis-
lation may make it difficult for the
many bodies to have their views con-
sidered.

Sees Favorable Public Reaction.
Study Medical Examiner Plan.

The Public Order Committee of the
Washington Board of Trade Is now now
studying a measure under consideration
by Chairman King of the Senate DIS
trict Committee proposing supplanting
Of the coroner's inquest system With the
medical examiner system, now used IN
New York City.
Odell Smith, chairman of the COM
mittee, has named special subcom-
mittee, including John L. Smith, DR..
Ray Gusts and Wallace Robinson, to
study the plan and make recommended
tions.
Bill Drafted by Bride.
The proposal is contained in bill
drafted for the Senate District Commit
tee by Corporation Counsel Bride, and
would do away with the existing como
ner's jury. 1t also would relieve the
coroner OF passing on legal questions
The proposed medical examiner would
investigate all circumstances surround
ing suspicious or violent deaths, perform
autopsles when necessary and report
information thus gathered to the dis
trict attorneys Office.
Brides bill would authorize the Dis
trict Commissioners to appoint a chief
medical examiner and two assistant
medical examiners. The Office of the
medical examiner would be open every
day OF the year, with a clerk in at
tendance day and night
According to members of the Public
Order Committee, the system has
proved far more satisfactory in New
York than the old coroner's jury
method.
The medical examiner system is an
objective for which the Washington
Chamber of Commerce has been work
ing for a number of years, having long
since expressed dissatisfaction with the
Icoroner'S jury method. The proposal
was incorporated In the chambers FIVE
