District merchants sold 147,936
barrels of 3.2 beer between April

according to a report prepared
today by Deputy Tax Assessor
Charles A. Russell.

There remains uncollected only
$82.88, according to the report.
OF the uncollected tax, Mr..

uncollectible, since the licensees
have removed from the District,
but he believes the balance event

During the time Of sale Of beer,
according to Mr.. Russell, only one

RELIEF CASES
GAIN IN D. {.

Relief rolls Of the District took
on $3.50 new cases in February,
1t was revealed by the Federal
Emergency Relief Administration
today.
The added relief cases brought
the total number Of families and
single residents here receiving aid
to 1881, and caused the relief
expenditures to soar from $175,332
to $308,O22, an increase Of 76 per
cent.
Exceptionally cold weather IN
February, causing an increase in
the demands for fuel and clothing,
was an important factor in the
large increase in numbers and ex-
penditures, officials said. It was
also pointed out that the declining
Civil Works Administration en-
ployment and the shorter hours
of work on civil works jobs were
contributing factors.

Attorney Leslie c. Garnett's
"anti-woman" position.
Apprised Of the action Of the

out a campaign to obtain posi-
tions for women as Assistant
District Attorneys, Miss Mary w.
Dewson, director Of the women's
division of the Democratic Ma
tional Committee, today phoned
her reply from New York.
Flags His Attitude
Miss Dewson attacked Mr.. Gar
nett's position as "antiquated"
and asked him to reconsider. Her
statement follows:
"Mr. GarneAt's attitud4 toward
women lawyers seems to me
antiquated. OF course, women
vary like men and some Of them
may not prove desirable assist
ants, just as many mer do not
make good.
"On the other hand, many
women lawyers have already
demonstrated their ability in all
fields Of law"
Cites Loan Board
Miss Dewson referred to John
II. Fahey, chairman Of the Fed
eral Home Loan Bank Board, who
has placed several women on his
legal staff. She continued:
II wish MIR. Garnet would
ask Mr.. FaheS what he thinks
of women lawyers. If he did,
I am sure he would employ at
least two on his staff"

ranks Of the Women's Bar Associ-
alton last night when that group

ants on his staff, and then
adopted a resolution supporting

well against Mrs. Meta Fay, of

called by Mrs. Edwina Austin
Avery, president, to protest Mr..
Garnett's reported refusal to ap-
point women on his staff. Three
members. Dean Grace Hayes
Riley. Miss Elizabeth c. Harris
and Miss Margaret Lambie, were
