NEW SANATOR|UM
TO AID CHILDREN
OPEN NEXT MONTH
Finishing Touches Are Being
Put on Glenn Dale
Institution.
WATER FLOW TROUBLE
BELIEVED CORRECTED
Work on Other Minor Details.
Plans Are Rushed on Build
ings for Adults.

The new District Children's Tuber-
culosiS Sanatorium at Glenn Dale,
Md, will be opened between September
Is and october l, DR.. D. l.. Finucane,
superintendent. said today.
Although the building itself has been
completed for many months, its oc-
cupancy was delayed by difficulties
with the water supply. Dependent
upon wells for water, the sanatorium
plant must have a perfectly function
ing water system at the outset, it was
explained by Maj. Paul Hodgson, As
sistant Engineer Commissioner.
The first water drawn from the in
sLitution's standpipe was clouded. and
efforts to clear it have occupied vir-
tually all of the time represented by
the delay in opening the building.
Indications now are that the water
has cleared and the plant can be
opened probably by September Is. ,
Other Details Incomplete.
Besides the difficulties with the
water system, other causes Of delay
include minor structural details,
among them the proper covering Of
certain floors with linoleum.
Meanwhile, the District engineer
Office and the Office of the municipal
architect are launching today activi-
ties in the preparation Of the plans
for the Glenn Dale tuberculosis Hos
pital. Architects and craftsmen are
being assembled in a working group
within the municipal architects office
to give full time to the project.
A list of leading tuberculosis hos
pitals and sanatoriums was being
compiled today so the District de-
signers might study them in evolving
their own plans.
One of the first decisions 10 be
reached is the layout of the hospital
buildings on the 216-acre tract. 1t is
tentatively agreed that the main build
ing will be placed on natural ground
rise, adjacent to the water tower. Per-
manent selection of this site will be
delayed pending extensive studies Of
the land itself, the sites proximity to
the heating plant and various other
factors of extreme Importance in the
location of the buildings.
Further Action Awaited.
Before Secretary Ickes will release
any part of the $1,500,000 sought
from p. w. A. funds for this insti-
tuition, the Public Works Administra-
ton must have at least the working
plans for examination Until Conmis-
sioner Allen returns from his vacation
next Wednesday it was expected no
further developments would occur.
Secretary Ickes Is anticipating q call
from Commissioner Allen and it was
understood today he is prepared to
advance the funds as soon as the
necessary details can be worked out.

STABLE WORKERS
LEAD IN DEATHS
Rate of Mortality Exceeds
That of AviatOrS-S0CiaI
Agents Best Risk.

'"The highest death rate among
workingmen Is TO 64 years old oc-
ours in this country among hostlers
and stable hands, with a rate Of 1922
deaths per 1000, according to a study
of the effect of occupations on the
length of life, made public today by
the National tuberculosis Association.
The study, which took five years to
complete, was made by Miss Jessamine
S. Whitney.
Her study shows the unexpected fact
that stable hands, associated with the
oldest form of transportation. live
shorter lives than aviators, who are
connected with the newest. They
have a death rate Of 1918. Garage
1aborers are much better risks than
either, having rate of only SOS.
Social Workers Long-Lived.
BY comparison with these figures
social workers appear practically i'm
mortal, with low rate of 2.75. Other
rates among "gainfully employed
males" are harness and saddle factory
workers. 3065; sailors and deck hands,
1923: cigar and tobacco factory work.
ers, 30.55; school teachers, 4.42; fire.
men, GIL; lawyers and judges, 7.89;
physicians and surgeons, 1859; ceme-
terry workers, $50; laborers in chem
ical factories, 5.13; soap makers, 3.29;
inventors, 1855; real estate statesmen,
5.64; telegraph operators, 1909, and
craftsmen, 3.21.
The study shows that suicides
among lawyers and judges are less
than the average for all gainfully en-
ployed males, while among physicians
the rate is greater than the average.
Living Standards Have Effect.
mot only Is ones chance of sur
vival affected by the hazard directly
inherent in the job," the study says,
"as in the case of metal fi1ers and
zinc miners, but there is, too, the
effect Of social or economic status or
of different standards of living, as
implied by certain occupations. For
example, the lowest rate from tuber-
culosis is found in the highest eco
nomic bracket, and the rates increase
steadily through the other social
economic groups with the exception
of agricultural workers., the highest
tuberculosis death rate occurring in
the lowest social-economic group"

NEW SILVER POLICY INCREASES
CURRENCY BY ONLY $25, 600, 900

The Nations total money supply is
approximately $50,000,000,000. This
includes bank deposits, running to
more than S43, ,OOo. .0oo, 900.
Many observers say the silver profit
Is so small as to have no infiationary
effect, although it is imitation under
the definition that it is an increase
in the money supply arrived at by
artificial means.
Attempts to gauge the effect of the
silver policies on money in circulation
disclose that the amount of additional
money actually circulating is about
5000, 900. Some $4,000, 900 Of the
new notes have been sent out from
the Treasury.
But portion of the SIS, 100000 ap-
parently has replaced other old silver
notes and still large portion has dis
placed Federal Reserve notes. which
comprise the bulk of the Nations cur
rency. The result is, observers say,
that total currency in circulation has
increased infinitesimally compared TO
the entire money supply.

TAX|CAB DRIVERS
LAY UNION PLANS
Meeting Scheduled for Sep
tember 11-Code Will Be
Sought in Capital.

Unionization of Washington taxi
cab drivers to obtain a satisfactory
taxicab code under the National Re-
covery Administration and to increase
fares in the District will be under
taken at a meeting to be held Sep
tember IL, it was announced today.
The meeting is to be held in Typo
graphical Hall, 423 G street, and will
be under direction of j. E. Toone,
union organizer for the American
Federation of Labor N. r. A. officials
and William A. Roberts, jr., peoples
counsel, have been asked to address
the meeting.
In announcing plans for the Cab
Drivers Protective Union, six objec-
tives were outlined. These are to
force the Washington cab business to
adopt a code of fair competition that
will eliminate cut-throat competition;
to put taxi rates back on a cost Of
operation basis; to have the number
of cabs and drivers limited; to elimi-
nate the rental system; to establish
a fund for the purpose of giving mem
bers free legal aid in Traffic Court,
and for the purpose OF paying MEM
bers sick and death benefits; and, to
have a regulation enacted that will
prevent those who have other employ
ment from obtaining identification
cards.
Regulation Of taxicabS in the Dis
trict has been a bugbear to officials
for several years and repeated efforts
either to compel the use OF meters
or to regulate fares have failed. Only
through agreements of the larger
companies has it been possible to set
up a system Of uniform rates.
Assisting Toone in making plans
for the organization is a committee
representing the drivers composed Of
G. B. Cole. B. L. Henning and c. B.
Canaday.

SANDERS REPORTED
ON WAY TO CAPITAL
"Citizens' Election Congressman
Hurried to Louisiana to
Register.

J. Y. Sanders, jr., citizens election
Congressman" who is disputing the
seating Of Mrs Bolivar E Kemp as
Representative from the sixth Louisiana
district, was reported By the Associated
Press yesterday as being on the way back
to Washington after a hurried trip to
Baton Rouge Friday to register as a
voter.
Friends Of Mr. Sanders attributed his
sudden departure from the Capital to
a desire to prevent Senator Huey Long
from executing political coup. Under
Louisiana law, voters must register every
four years, and the last registration ex-
pdred December 81 last. It was said
Senator Longs forces intended to call
Q surprise election, and were quietly
registering their own cohorts. Should
q 30-day election call go out, only those
registered before the call could vote.
Senator Long maintained today that
he knew nothing about the report.
Dispatches from Baton Rouge, however,
indicated registering on both sides was
quite brisk yesterday. approximately
1000 were said to have registered in
the past four days.
