tention be given to coughs and
colds,
DR.. Schwartz pointed out that,

the following advice in treatment
of colds:
'In cases of a bad cold, go
to bed and be quiet for two or
three days. Rest, sleep and
elimination are important fac
tors in combating the disease.
Colds should not be considered
a trifling matter as they lead
to more serious diseases"

Quick Payment
Of Bonus

Therell be no bonus army in
Washington this year because
the bonus marchers and the
veterans know that Congress
will pay the bonus in full within
three weeks.
That's the opinion of John
Alferi, perennial bonus marcher
and one-time commandant Of
the Philadelphia contingent OF
the army which was involved in
the fatal troubles on PennSyl-
Vania Avenue in 1881.
The sole bonus army repre-
sentative to date, Mr.. Alferi ar
rived in Washington today on
his fourth visit, this time by box
car from Los Angeles. He said:
"I'm going straight to Charley
Kramer, Representative of my
district in California, and ask
him to amend the bill so that
we'll get our bonus in gold. We
were on the gold standard when
we were in France and we want
gold now"
Senator Huey Long and Sena-
tor Hiram johnson also are
listed on MIR. Alferi'S calling

ASHURST HOPES
FOR FEDERAL
BOND TAX
Arizona Senator's Plan Calls
For Amendment; Sees
No Securities Harm

Hope that his proposal for a
constitutional amendment which
would prevent the marketing Of
Federal, State, county, and other
governmental bonds tax free will
be enacted during the coming ses-
sion was expressed today by Sen
ator Henry F. Ashurst CD Of
Arizona.
He emphasized that his amend
ment would compel the payment
of taxes on the income from the
bonds and not on the bonds them
selves.
Senator Ashurst said that not
only the present Secretary Of the
Treasury but also two former Sec
retaries have expressed the opin-
ion that the taxlesS feature has
nothing to do with the sale Of
Government bonds. He added:
mine out of ten business men
would rather have q security
that is taxable. People generally
feel that the man holding tax
exempt security is not doing his
part to help the Government.
every outstanding Govern
ment bond is above par, even
those few on which the income
is taxed. This shows that the
taxIess feature has nothing to
do with the sale of the bond"
He said that outside of Federal
bonds, the bonds of States, coun-
ties, districts, precincts and town.
ships amount to something more
than $12,000,000,000.
The Senator said that his pro-
posal would not affect outstand-
ing bonds.

We can vouch for her qualifica-

SEWAGE PLANT
TANGLE FACES
SENATE QUIZ
King to Study PWA Contract
and Will Order Inquiry
If Facts Warrant

A senatorial investigation into
conditions surrounding the Dis
trict's PWA contract for construc-
tion of a sewage disposal plant
here was imminent today.
Senator William H. King CD
of Utah, chairman of the Senate
District Committee, who was in
strumental in making it possible
for the District to obtain the loan,
said that numerous complaints of
irregularities in connection with
the contract have come to him.
Plans Conference
He declared he will confer with
District and other officials within
the next few days to determine
whether there appears to be any
ground for the complaints, adding
that if there is he will initiate an
inquiry by his committee.
Originally it was planned that
a complete sewage plant be con-
structed at a cost of $8,O00,OO0,
and the bill passed by the last
session of Congress permitting
the District to make certain loans
from the PWA provided that this
amount be borrowed for construc-
ton of the plant and the agree
ment was ready for the sigma
lures of District and PWA Off
cialS.
Contract Rewritten
The matter was at Standstill,
however, for a while, and finally
the contract was rewritten pro-
viding for a loan of $4,000,0 900
for construction of the project.
Nothing has been done further
on the proposal for, the last
month.
Senator King said today that
reports have come to him to the
effect that contractor for the
job had been selected even be-
fore the contract between the
PPWA and the District was
drawn, and that certain persons
attempting to get information
concerning the matter have been
unsuccessful.

AS UNJUST
A. F. G. E. Adopts Resolution
Against Kings Proposal for
Additional Levy

Thousands of Government EN-.
ployes today entered the battle
against an income tax on District
residents.
Meeting last night at the Ham
ilton Hotel, Lodge No. l, OF the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, unanimously
adopted a resolution opposing
such tax.
Senator William H. King CD OF
Utah, chairman of the Senate Dis
trict Committee, has been urging
such a bill for several years, and
drive will be started at the next
session of Congress to pass this
legislation.
Adopt Resolution
Branding such a tax as "un-
just" the A.F.G.E. lodge, consisting
of delegates from more than so
chapters of the organization,
adopted the following resolution:
"Whereas, certain members Of
Congress have stated publicly
that they believe an income tax
should be imposed on the
citizens of the District of COlum-
bia; and,
"Whereas, we feel that such
a tax would be unjust, would
work a hardship on wage earnerS
of the District, and in effect
constitute another salary cut
for Government employees, re-
voking in part the recent
restoration of pay; and,
whereas, we believe such a
tax would be a duplication of
taxation, inaSmuch as District
residents already pay the Fed
eral Income Tax as provided by
law. Therefore be it
ACTION UNANIMOUS
Resolved that we, members
of the District of Columbia De-
partment of the American Fed
Grafton of Government Employees,
do hereby go on record as unan-
imOuSIy opposed to the impOSi-
ton of any additional income
tax on residents of the District,
and be it further
Resolved, that copies of this
resolution be forwarded to the
President of the United States,
to the members of the House
and Senate District Committees
and to the Commissioners of the
District of Columbia"
The resolution was presented to
the meeting by Michael Schaffer,
past president of the organization,
who declared that an income tax
would work a hardship on thou
sands of District residents.
The resolution was referred to
the resolutions committee OF the
organization, which reported unan'
imously that it be adopted.
Capper Against Tax
Not a dissenting vote was cast,
and a number of the delegates
spoke in favor of the move to
oppose the increased taxation.
Senator Arthur Capper (RO OF
Kansas yesterday stated he is op-
posed to an income tax for the
District and further believes that
the Federal Government should
increase the lump sum" contribu,
ton to the cost of District govern
ment rather than attempt to load
more taxes on local residents.
The District has not been OBJ
tanning "a square deal' from the
Federal Government financially,
Senator Capper asserted.

 It calls, for widening of tho street on the north. end and for erection of a retaining wall. Un- der present plans there will be a sidewalk on one side, proba bfy the west side, for which, ties expected, property owners on both sides Will be assessed, e se. N
 The project: will cost the town $1185l for materials, and there is an estimated expense of s s53sQS for use of town trucks and cpripres- sors. which the warden explained, would otherwise be in use by the town anyway. The EZRA will pay $25,O00 for labor on the job. It is expected the project will employ between 60s and 70 men for an en- tire year. The street will be 33 feet wide. including five feet for a sidewalk. The old layout was Al 81-2 feet, so no conflict over land titles is expected.s
 Mir Brophy said it, was a wonder ful project and he was in favor of it but said he thought because 1t was such d large project it would be advisable for the conn mittee to investigate it first.
 He said the board members real ly had no knowledge of what. they were going to approve. He said there are many things which might develop afterward the board knows nothing about now. and in- dicated preliminary sinvestiga- ton might help.
 Warden Sheridan however wish ed action take place at the meet ing. He said the matter had been discussed by the board before and that Borough Engineer Robert D. Beardsley was on hand to ask any questions. If a committee met, he said, they would probably only ask the engineer questions which could be answered at the meeting

was the best player for the
Little Generals, dropping six
points through the rims.
st. Johns was bewildered by
the great defense Of George

different from the one Tech
uses.
It was Johnny Harmon who
scored the majority of the Park

again. And why not? Didn't
the club click on every possible
cylinder in 1898? Wasn't the
pitching all that could be de-
sired?
Well, his boys would click
again. His pitchers will click and
he dareS anybody to pick his
Giants seventh again-aS sports
Scribes were prone to do at the
start of the 1888 campaign.
Hal Parmelee will be his prize.
Carl Hubbell will win at least 20
games and the others will fail in
line with victories at needed mo-
mentS.
Retirement Near
Reminded that he was getting
old for a ball player he said:
"I know it and 1 would really
like to retire from active play
ing this year, but I'd better stick
1t out another season. haven't
anybody to take my place at
first base yet-that is, nobody
I can depend upon day in and
day out. But maybe next year"
One Of his most earnest desires
is to meet the Washington Griff-
men again in a worlds series.
Likes to play Joe Cronin's boys.
The games are full of fight and
spirit. and they make everybody
work their heads off to win. Be-
lieveS the 1884 series will feature
his Giants and the Griffmen.
So there you have the likes of
Bill Terry. A breezy guy, likeable,
but bubbling over with confidence
that success in business and base
ball has carved.
