Statistics Not Stable.
Analysis of 5000 deaths of infants
under year in several countries,
Britten says, shows that the relation
ship of death rate to housing condi-
tions differs slightly from the relation
ship to social status. The rates were
as follows: Good housing, 34.7; mod
erately good. 40.4; bad, 45.9; good
social status, 339; moderately good,
40.6; bad, 1915. This probably is ac-
counted for by the fact that sometimes
persons Of good social status live in
bad houses, and vice versa.
The danger of great epidemics aris-
ing from the slums and sweeping
through the population, such as the
scourges Of smallpox, cholera, plague
and typhus in the past. is by no
means over, Britten says. Thus there
was an epidemic of typhus and re-
lapsing fever In European Russia be-
tween 1919 and 1928, with 100000
cases, on much the same scale as
some of the great epidemics of his
tory.

LORTON NEEDS
S360,000

It would cost $360,0OO to COM
plete the walled group at Lorton
Reformatory, according to a
report filed today with Melvin
C. Hazen, president of the Board
of District Commissioners, by
Capt. M. M. Barnard, superin-
tendent of penal institutions.
The report shows that a total
of 100000 already has been
appropriated for the work, of
which $18,781.80 remains unex-
pended.
Work yet to be done and the
estimated cost are as follows:
Complete walls, towers, entrance
gates, ETC., $4,000; construct and
equip entrance building, $4,000;
mess hall and kitchen, including
refrigerating plant, $65,OOO; COM
plete tunnels, arcades, extend

buildings 6 and 8 as double tier
cell blocks, $125,O0O; construct a
service building, 100000; install
cells in buildings and 4, $4,000,
and construct two additional
buildings, $4,000.
It is probable that Congress
will be asked to make an appro-
priation to go on with the work.

Recess Appointments IS to the
Upper House for Action

President Roosevelt today sent
a list of more than $50 recess
appointments to the Senate for
confirmation, including the two
District commissioners. but omit
ting the District Attorney and
the Judge of the Juvenile Court.
The names Of Melvin C. Hazen
and George E. Allen, of the board
of District Commissioners, were
submitted, along with Morris D.
Chapman, named secretary in the
diplomatic service, and Isador
Lubin, commissioner Of labor
statistics in the Labor Depart
ment.
Garnett Omitted
The President, however, failed
to submit the name of Leslie c.
Garnett, whom he appointed dis,
trict attorney last week to sue
ceed Leo A. Rover.
Miss Fay L. Bentley, director OF
public school attendance and
work permits, whom he named a
few months ago to succeed Kath'
ryn Sellers as judge of the Juvenile
Court here, was also omitted IN
the list of appointments.
Miss Bentley has not yet taken
office. The judgeship, although
President Roosevelt named Miss
Bentley during the recess of Con-
gress, cannot be classified as a
recess appointment under the law.
Senate confirmation is needed be-
fore Miss Bentley can take office.
Bullitt, Morgenthau

York, for Secretary of the Treas
ury, to succeed William H. Wood
in, also of New York; Hal Sewer,
of Texas, Ambassador to Chile,
and William G. Bullitt, of Pennsyl-
vania, Ambassador to Russia.
No Opposition
Favorable action by the Senate
on the nominations of the two
new District Commissioners is eX-
pected at an early date.
Chairman William H. King of
the Senate District Committee
said today he will call his com.
mittee together before the end
of the week to take action on
those two nominations, which were
sent to the Senate by the Presi-
dent today.
Senator King said he expects
no opposition to the nomina'
tions, since none has come to
him as yet. He added that op-
position usually is presented to
him by this time, if such oppo-
sition exists.

Major Raymond J. Walter, execu-
tive officer of the NRA compli-
ance board for the District Of

eral involving the amounts that

Agree to Push for Quick
Tax-ControI Action

Joint open-hearings on the Dis
trict liquor bill will begin tomor.
row morning at 10 o'clock, Mrs.
Mary T. Norton. chairman of the
House District Committee. said
today following a conference with
Senator William H. King, chair.
man of the Senate District Com
mittee.
The hearings will be held in the
caucus room in the old House
Office Building.
Hearings also will be held at
the same hour Saturday morning,
Mrs. Norton said.
Quick Action Sought
The joint hearings were decided
upon by the chairmen of the two
committees to expedite passage Of
legislation controlling sale Of
liquor in Washington.
Evening hearings we're proposed
late yesterday by the House group
on grounds that several hours
could be given to receipt of testi-
mony if held at night whereas
morning meetings would be
limited to an hour.
The sessions, which will be the
first ever held Jointly by the two
District committees, should be
stormy ones if the House com.
mittee's meeting yesterday is a
barometer.
Controversy Starts Early
Outstanding controversial points
are. whether or not the District
should install an official dis
pensary system and if clause
giving 81 per cent of neighbor'
hoods property owners the power
to block sale of liquor in their
community by petition should be
retained.
The Women's Organization for
District of Columbia Liquor Con-
troll, which is the reorganized
group of the recently dissolved
Women's Organization for Prohi-
bition Reform. has asked the COM
mittee chairmen that the organi'
zation be allowed to be heard.
Miss Elizabeth C. Harris, vice
chairman of the unit, will speak
for the organization and will stress
passage of a liberal law which will
provide for a non-partisan and
nonpolitical liquor control board of
three members, one Of whom shall
be woman; low taxes to prevent
botlegging: separate on and off
sale licenses; one license for beer
and wine and another for liquors;
the board to have board powers
of revocation of licenses.

DRY MEN MADE

Attorney General Cummings to-
day disclosed all prohibition
agents had been deputized as
Internal Revenue agents as a
temporary expedient to care for
the lack of personnel in the
existing agency of the Treasury
Department to supervise liquor
tax revenue.
Problems regarding the enforce
ment of the Federal laws relat-
ing to liquor revenue are now
being worked out, but, mean
while, the Attorney General
stated, the 1900 agents of the
Alcoholic Beverage Unit of the
Department OF Justice will be
commissioned Internal Revenue
agents.
