MARY PATTEN
WINS INzONE
DISPUTE

Two applications for rezoning
Of property, which for years had
been rejected, were approved late
yesterday by the District zoning
Commission.
In one case, two retired rear
admirals of the U. S. Navy were
lined up against a third retired
rear admiral. This was the petit
ton of Miss Mary E. Patten, who
was granted permission to have
her residentially zoned property
at 2122 Massachusetts, Ave. N. w.
rezoned to allow erection Of an
apartment building.
Rear Admirals Joseph v. Strauss
and Henry Hough, who live in the
same block, opposed the change,
contending an apartment building
would depreciate the value of the
neighborhood'S property. Rear Ad-
miral Mark L. Bristol spoke in
favor of the petition.
The commission decided that
four-fifthS of the property will be
rezoned as requested, but the other
fifth would remain restricted resi-
Dental to protect the adjoining
property Of Larz Anderson, whose
residence was avlued at $3.50 600.
The petition had been filed six
times previously and each time de-
MED.
Mrs. Marie Won UnSchuld was
successful in obtaining approval cf
a petition to reZone her property
in the 1900 block Columbia Rd.
N. w., from residential to first
commercial area. The approval
was contingent upon the widening
of an alley between two lots in
the rear of the premises. She
had filed q imilar application on
nine previous occasions.
The commission in all approved
IL reZoning applications and re-
jected Is. Most controversial
among these were the following
alley properties:
Louis ]. lacquer, rear Of 1924
Thirteenth st. N. w., for addition
to an automobile repair shop;
Cauther & Slocum, Inc, rear Of
1918 North Capitol ST., for a
machine shop. Although recon
ing was denied, parking lots were
authorized for properties at 500
Twentieth st. N. W., and at Tenth
Street and Maryland Avenue
Southwest. A variance permitting
a small addition to the Calvary
Episcopal Church, Eleventh and
G Streets Northeast, was granted,
although a reZoning petition was
denied.

Don't SCRATCH,
SO0THE the.
IRRITATION
ADVERTISER EMIT

Quick relief from the maddening
itch of eczema, psoriasis, poison
ivy, and irritation about the rectum
or personal parts is obtained by ap-
plying an ointment called Resinol.
Leave it on over night. It lessons
the desire to scratch, and eases the
irritation.
The soothing effect of Resinol
takes the sting out of the irritated
parts and makes you comfortable.
The skin heals sooner, too, with the
help of Resinol.
The oily base Of Resinol Oint-
ment is ideal for penetrating the
outer layers of the skin and secur-
ing deeper action. Bathing the af-
fected parts first with Resinol Soap
hastens the effectiveness of Resinol
Ointment. Many nurses suggest
and use Resinol - why don't you
try it?
Buy Resinol Ointment and Soap
in any drug store. For free sam
pie, write to Resinol, Dept. 4, Bal

Successful
.TreatnnentO of
Common Cold Often
FOrerunner of
Serious Case.

BY JAMES w. BARTON, M. d.
IT is related of certain physician
that his wonderful record in cur
ing all his pneumonia cases was due
to the fact that Immediately he was
called in and found the patient was
suffering with a cold, he told the pa
tient that it looked like pneumonia
and the treatment would take some
time; it would not be less than two
weeks before he could get out of bed.
Thus If every case with simply a
cold was called pneumonia, this physi-
clans record in curing practically all
his pneumonia cases can be under
stood.
Personally, I am inclined to be-
lieve that this physician had treat
ed so many cases of pneumonia that
had started as simple cold that he
knew that any carelessness on the
part of the patient, such as getting
up too soon or going to work or
business too soon, might cause a re-
lapse and pneumonia readily follow.
But, by telling the patient 1t looked
like pneumonia" and the common
cold is often the forerunner of pneu-
monia, the patient took it for granted
he must remain in bed. He would,
therefore, not mind remaining in bed
for time and would naturally make
a good recovery.
OF course there might be cases
where the very thought of pneumonia
would take all the fight" out of the
patient, but even in these cases, as
the patient was kept in bed, there
might be some depression of spirits
and even of the heart itself, but not
sufficient to prevent him recovering
from a cold.
The thought then is that this physi-
clan likely had more in mind than
getting a name for curing pneu-
monia; that is, he made sure that the
cold, whether severe or not, was not
going to be allowed to undermine
the general health and make the
heart lose some of its reserve" power
by letting the patient up, about, out
and at work too soon.
Naturally, two weeks or even 10
days is usually longer than is neces-
sary to rest in bed with cold. The
usual method of most physicians is to
have the patient remain in bed (after
the temperature is normaD one whole
day for each degree of temperature
found during the height of the i'll
ness. Thus if the temperature was
103 degrees, that is degrees above
normal, then the patient remains in
bed four days after the temperature
Is down to normal.

Pygmy is also employed more or

Actually, dwarf" is generic term
for undersized people, a category in
which the ancient Pygmy belonged.
The Pygmy was member of fab

some, a land near the sources Of the
Nile, and according to others. India.
In Homer's works is described
graphically the annual Winter migra-
tions Of the cranes to the country Of
the Pygmies.
The cranes would make for the
cornfields of their host. The Pygmies
would rally to oust them. Bloody
battles would ensue. In one of them
The Pygmies were completely wiped

The name Pygmy is after a Greek
word meaning cubit, a measure Of
about 13 inches, said to have been
