PWA PROJECTS
ABSORBING
J0BLESS

ROCKVILLE, Md, March 26.
Nearly 100 Montgomery county
men, facing employm n t
through Government orders to re.
duce WPA projects rolls by Is
per cent, were found today to
have been absorbed through the
recent increase in local private
employment.
While the numbers employed
on WPA projects within the
county have been limited to 296
through lack of sufficient
projects, 64 of this number faced
unemployment when county Of.
ficials received orders to reduce
WPA rolls 25 per cent by April
/. A hurried survey disclosed
today that 80 men have already
been removed from the rolls
when they reported having OBJ
tanned private employment.
More Are Absorbed
In addition to this, county
Works Progress officials point
out that even additional men are
being removed from the rolls
daily and being placed on Pub
lie Works Administration projects
throughout the county, which
have opened up with the. coming
of good weather.
Since the majority Of the
county's present school construc'
ton program, totaling nearly
100000, is being financed with
PWA funds and each project
under this program will be classed
as a PWA project, it is believed
that employment will be found
for a majority Of the county'S un
employed through this channel.
When the Federal Government
discontinued direct assistance To
the unemployed in favor of work
relief for those claSSed among the
employables, and instituted the
WPA to furnish this employment
the Montgomery County Welfare
Board was designated the agency
to investigate and indorSe those
persons then on their relief rolls
classed as employableS, to the
State WPA headquarters for EN-
ployment. Miss Dorothy A. Ever
son, executive secretary of the
County Welfare Board, said to
day.
Reduced Relief Rolls
Through this medium the board
was able to reduce their relief
rolls, since as soon as person
was placed on works relief ne was
cut off direct relief, she said
This aided the board by making
additional funds available to care
for those aged, crippled and blind
who would be claSsed as unem
ployableS.
At the time the State RELIEF
| FUNDS became exhausted a short
time ago, and it was believed
work relief would need to Supplant
all forms Of direct relief, order:
came from WPA headquarters tt
halt further Endorsement of clients
for work projects since all employ
ment was exhausted through 9
lack of sufficient projects, Mis-
Everson said And then a Short
time later the order to reduce
present rolls was received.

By MILTON A. BOSLEY, OWN.
In bites, cuts and tears, the dogs
tongue is often the best healing
remedy. This is not true, however,
when the animal is seriously
wounded by an accident or torn in
such a way that stitches should be
put in with a proper curved needle
threaded with the proper material.
Sometimes only one stitch is
required, but in others many are
necessary to perfect q union Of
the torn tissues. Wounds in q
dog, if serious, do not heal in
three or four days, as is some
times true with human beings.
This is especially true when
stitches are found to be neceS-
sary to close q cut because the
animal, unless resting, will not be
satisfied to lie quietly and will
attempt to loosen the stitches
with his teeth. In some cases a
muzzle should be worn by nervous
dogs until the proper time ar
riVes for the stitches to be re-
moved. A bandage, changed fire.
quently, also is advisable at times.
Although removed by very little
friction, collodion, painted on
rapidly with a soft brush, proves
beneficial in healing minor cuts.
Fractures may occur in almost
any Of the bones of the dog,
but little relief can be afforded,
save by a veterinarian, who, in
all probability, will X-ray the
break before attempting to set
it. Breaks, too, are frequently
detected by a cracking heard and
felt on the handling the injured
part. For instance, when ribs
have been broken, the injury is
easily found by the depression
which is felt and a grating sound
produced in breathing.
When dogs are suffering from
broken bones, they should be
kept quiet and fed very little.
Fractures Of the legs should be
carefully set to prevent q later
Disagreement of the pet.
Although dislocationS Of the
shoulder and elbow occur rarely
save by accident, they are not in
frequent in the knee and toes.
Deformity occurring in any Of
these joints is easily discovered.
Anesthesia should be given If
an operation is necessary and
oxygen administered when over.
In all serious cases. a doctor
should be called at once.
The operations likely to be
practiced on the dog are some
what numerous but few are fit to
be attempted by the average no
vice unless the accident is slight
and the wounds of a minor ma.
ture and not causing the pet
pain.

SURPRISE TAX
MOVE FOUGHT
INMARYLAND

ANNAPOLIS, Md, March 26.
An unexpected move by Delegate
William H. Labrot, Anne Arundel
county Democrat, to substitute
another tax program for that
passed by the senate for relief
purposes. resulted last night In
the hottest house floor fight OF
the special session.
Backers of the Labrot plan saw
defeat looming and Immediately
after the house met for the night
session offered a motion to ad-
journ until today.
Delegate Charles M a rbury.
Prince Georges county Democrat,
rose to a point Of personal pr1Vi'
lege and said Labrot was offering
his plan. which bans a floor tax
on whisky. in order to benefit the
distillery Labrot owns. Labrot re-
piled that his distillery is located
in Kentucky and. as his plan pro-
vided a consumers tax on whisky,
the proposal would hit rather
than help him.
Seven-POint Program
His plan included the following
taxes:
/. Continuation Of the pres
ent gross receipts tax for one
month.
2. A gross receipts tax on
merchants whose intake is in
excess Of $4,000 a year for IL
months ($1.000 a month exemp-
ton rate "a per cent?.
8. A / per cent tax on the
gross receipts of all public util-
tiles and amuSements, includ-
ing motion pictures, athletic
spectacles, race tracks.
4. Continuation of the pres
ent auto titling tax Of l per
cent.
S. A tax Of 13s cents per
gallon on beer $50 cents per
s. Raising the present rate
Of $1.10 per gallon to $1.30 per
gallon on whisky and spirits.
2. Use of the surplus Of the
amount in the comptroller'S Of
flee paid in by the inheritance
tax.
Total yield of this program is
estimated at between $4,500.0 900
and $5,000,000.
Doomed in Senate
AS the LabrOt plan includes a
continuance of a modified form
Of the gross receipts tax its doom
is foreseen in the senate today
before the amendment even
comes before that body. The Sen
ate finance committee has a
gross receipts tax bill in its files
and sentiment last night was to
bring it out today and put a
clincher on it which would pre-
vent the senate from considering
any form Of gross receipts during
this session.
A surprise move among the
Democrats in the senate yeSter-
day resulted in Senator Harold E.
Cobourn, Cecil county Democrat,
withdrawing his objections to the
killing Of the State survey. COM
mission and allocating its un-
expended balance to the use Of
the governors mansion. Cobourn
had previously refused to attend
a caucus of Democratic Senators
where it was determined to push
the bill even over a certain veto
by Governor Harry w. Nice.
With eight days to go before the
special session expires, the two
Houses appeared to be at logger
heads with no program upon which
they can hope to agree.
The LabroG amendment is before
the house today.

DRIVE CAREFULLY, SAVE A LIFE"

Drive Carefully, Save Life" should be
emblazoned on the brain of every man or wom-
an who sits down behind car wheel to drives
out on the highways of the land. Last week we
exhorted, in this column, that the public be-
come more conscious of the dangers of careless
driving on the highways. The editorial followed
the death of three-year- child on the Jeffer-
son road. This week, it is the duty of the news
papers, in their search for news, to inform the
public that near-fatal wreck was recorded in
this county and that Wilkes county buried the
first of the week, two young people who were
victims of careless or drunken driving.
The Charlotte Observer printed on its front
page Saturday Memorial Day-a request that
all persons who planned to drive carelessly or
while drunk during the holiday to please leave
their obituaries in the Office before they started
in order to make it easier for the news depart
ment to record their deaths. This request may
be half-funny, but it has a background that is
Swallowed by death itself, for death rides with
every careless driver and to the tune of thou
sands each year, takes its CHASTITY toll of life
and limb.
AS summer comes and our trips in cars
increase, let us resolve to make our motto:
Drive Carefully, Save Life.

HEARTS

The papers are full of accounts of deaths
from heart attacks. When a man is young he
feels that many years of life lie ahead. Conse
quently he takes things easy and plans for the
future. But when man reaches middle age his
ambition and his zeal increase. His mind and
powers are at their best, and he plunges into
his work with more enthusiasm and vigor than
he did when he was younger. He also feels that
his span of life is growing shorter, that he has
less time in which to achieve his ambition, and
this consideration also tends to increase his &C
tivity. He works too hard, gets nervous and ex-
cited, tries to do too much and drops dead from
heart attack. My advice to such men is: Slow
down! Initiate the tortoise that beat the hare by
Flooding along slowly and steadily. Don't worry
about your heart! 1t is the strongest organ in
your body, if you give it chance and don't
worry about it.-Charles Hooper in New York
Times.

The Supreme Court of the United States has
laid low the Guffey Coal Act, and the Court of
Appeals of the District of Columbia has declar-
ed that the Re-Settlement Administration is UNI
constitutional. Now is the time for political
spectacle filters to come to the relief of their
respective parties If person only goes to
Republican optician, it will appear clearly that
the end of the New Deal is at hand Putting on
Democratic spectacles, one sees that a jab from
the courts now and then is all in days work,
and the New Deal has demonstrated its power
for good, beyond the power even of courts to
belittle or detract. Those who do not wear
glasses are wondering what the end will be, one
way or the other. Likely enough, history written
a hundred years hence will record the fact that
both Republican and Democratic aids of political
vision were a trif1e out of focus in 1886.

Michigan has come into prominence through
the Black Legion, an organization said to be
concerned in the large business Of setting the
world right according to the Legion's stand
ards by murder and the use of horsewhip
on mems backs. About eight hundred years ago
Germany had an institution called the Vehnl-

save those interested in the details of history
know anything about the Vehgeriht today. It
was wiped out. Fear is an insecure foundation
upon which to rear any structure affecting
