PUPILS STUDIED
FOR CAUSE Of
SLOWNESS
Plea for Free Milk Starts Sur
vey; Second Nurse Hired
for Job

Mayor Thomas J. Luckett's plea
that starving school children in
nearby Prince Georges county be
given milk from CWA funds de-
veloped today into a concerted
study of children in Capitol
Heights and Seat Pleasant to de-
termine the causes Of their re-
tardation.
A second registered nurse, Mrs.
Fernando Dennis, Of Edmonston,
was yesterday assigned to Capitol
Heights by the county health de-
partment under its Federal relief
program for a study there.
Teachers Back Plan
Teachers IN the Capitol Heights
School joined in the movement,
demonstrating enthusiasm over
the latest move to aid the chill
dren under their care. Teachers
will submit to Mrs. Dennis a list
of children they believe are re-
tarded, as the first step.
With this list, Mrs. Dennis
will attempt to determine whether
the children are mentally, socially
or physically retarded. The phys
icallY weak will be given a health
examination with the coopera-
tion Of the county health de-
partment, the socially deficient
will be aided by the Capitol
Heights Welfare Association, while
the mental cases will be sub
jected to a study by DR.. George
H. Preston, commissioner Of men
tai hygiene in Maryland.
Free Milk Sought
Meantime, d request viii be
made to the county relief board
that school children Of poor par
ents be given free milk, while
Mrs. Dennis is said to be plan
ming to give hot lunches to Cap
itol Heights children who other
wise would go hungry, If such
q program can be arranged.
Miss Charlotte Wilcox, relief
director, admitted to the County
Medical Association several weeks
ago that many Prince Georges
children "were slowly starving to
death"

WARNING GIVEN
ON MEASLES

Parents Of Montgomery County
children are being warned by DR..
v. L. Ellicott, county health
officer, that one Of the most
serious mistakes they can make is
to regard measles as a minor
illness which all youngsters must
have. He said:
"MeaSles is SO contagious that
no general measures can prevent
its spread through q community.
Even when it is highly prev.
aIent, as at the present time,
much danger may be eliminated
by protecting children from
exposure"
Although DR.. Ellicott does not
regard the present epidemic as
particularly dangerous, he has
issued his warnings to parents to
keep it from becomming so.

EPIDEMIC Of
MEASLES
Fairfax and Arlington Counties
Hard Hit and Attendance
at School Suffers

Warning Of a Statewide cpl.
demic Of measles was received to-
day by DR.. A. l.. Carson, jr..
health officer of Fairfax county,
Va, he said in announcing that
there were more than 1000 cases
Of measles and mumps in the
county alone.
Arlington county, Va, also is
hard hit by the current measles
wave, more than 1000 cases being
reported.
Disease is RED" Variety
DR.. P. M. Chichester, health
officer, said the cases prevailing
were Of the extremely contagious
"red" variety, which in most in
stances did not make the victim
as i'll as other varieties.
In some sections of both north
ern counties the attendance at
schools was materially lowered
and in some instances cut in half.
Cases Expected to Double
DR.. Carson predicted the num-
ber Of cases would be doubled in
a few weeks. Both he and DR..
Chichester urged extreme care by
parents in the treatment Of their
children and urged they be kept
from exposure as much as possible.
In the contrast to the increase
in measles cases the number Of
other communicable cases were
much smaller.

ASSEMBLYMEN
REPORT OUT
. MEASURES
Proposals Expected to Pass
House, But Trouble in
Senate Is Likely
BY JOHN E. TAYLOR
Staff Correspondent

RICHMOND, Feb. Joint
committees of the House and Sen
ate on finance last night reported
out the racing bills patronized by
Delegate Wilbur c. Hall, Loudoun,
following public hearings.
Opposition to the bill was
headed by DR.. Walter Scott Dey-
erie, pastor of Highland Park
Methodist Episcopal Church, who
produced a number Of persons. lay
and clerical, in opposition to the
bill. Their fight was on the moral
aspects Of horse racing, and the
States participation in pari-
mutuel betting.
Proponents Are Heard
In favor of the bill were some
Of the best known persons in Vir-
ginia, including persons who have
thousands of dollars invested in
breeding farms in Northern Vir-
ginia.
The race track is the proving
ground of thoroughbreds and
from this test area the United
States gets it's cavalry horses,
Arthur Hancock, president of the
American Horse and Mule ASSo-
citation, and owner Of a breed
ing farm near Charlottesville,
declared.
Proponents Of the bill based
much Of their argument on the
ground that legislation had failed
to wipe out drinking and gam
bling. Thomas B. Gay, Rich
mond, a breeder, declared:
Laws that are oppressive to
human instincts cannot be en-
forced"
Clergy Are Active Foes
The hearings were notable in
that the opposition was composed
entirely Of the Richmond clergy
and laity, while proponents Of the
bills had speakers present from
sections Of the State most inter
eSted in horse breeding.
e. w. Evans, prominent Rich
mond business man and an equal
ly prominent churchman. caused
an uproar when he charged prob
ably certain persons are being
paid for pushing this bill
j. Fred Birrell, representing
Alexandria in the house, declared
that if any more aSperSions were
cast upon the committee he would
resign at once.
The bill is expected to pass the
House easily, but is likely to run
into trouble in the Senate.

who. have been with the company
since it's arrival at Malta last July
Is, and the year Of continuous SER
vice granted them will have expired
next July l. This number includes
practically all the leader personnel
of the camp, almost all of the spe-
cialists, and all but one Of the truck
drivers, so there will be a flock of
appointments to be made in the
next two weeks. The camp admin
istration is considerably worried
over the selection Of new men for
all the positions that will be left
open.
Considerable amusement and in
terest was created among the camp
personnel last Monday evening by
the performance staged for several
hours under a huge elm just across
the river. There were only two ac-
tors, but the performance made up
in interest for it's lack of numbers.
1t is rumored that even the sheriff
became interested. When you two
young folks want to hold a confer
ence, just let us know and we will
charge admission. 1t really was very
interesting, especially as the actors
seemed to think they were COM
pletely hidden, but they forgot that
telescopes and binoculars are a part
of the equipment of an erosion en-
gineering squad. In fact, both par
ties were identified, and everything,
but we will not tell on them-this
time.
Last week the camp lost one of it's
oldest men, both in point of years
and of service, when Will Vermilion
was called to Marion, mis- home
town, to accept a civilian position.
The whole company met him as he
started for the station and accom-
panied him to the train. which was
marked token of the esteem held
toward him by all with whom he
came in contact during his stay
with us. Best wishes, Will.
The baseball game tnat was
scheduled to be played between the
Morgan and Noble county camps
last Saturday was postponed, owing
to the fact that many men from
both camps were wanting to go
home for the week end, it being the
day after the "ghost walked" 9th
er folks walked too. If you don't
believe it, ask Keaser how he got
back from Newark.
