PARLEYS PLANNED
BY MRS. NORTON
Would Give VoteIess District
Chance to Show LegisIa-
tive Needs.
BY JAMES E. CHM.

Chairman Norton OF the House
District Committee revealed today
she is seriously considering a novel
plan to give the DISTINGUISHED res
idents Of the District an opportunity
to aid in framing the legislation
they desire Congress to enact.
Before the adjournment of Con-
gress-tentatively set for June /
Mrs. Norton is contemplating calling
a series of conferences between her
committee, District officials and civic
and business leaders, to discuss leg
islation that is needed to bring about
desired improvements.
Too late for results at the present
session of Congress, Mrs. Norton
believes the conferences may produce
the genesis of a legislative program
for the first session of the Seventy
fifth Congress that will convene next
January. She feels that efforts to
work out a proposed legislative pro-
gram at this time may expedite
enactment of various bills at the new
session.
Mrs. Norton also has taken another
step to move District bills more
rapidly through the House at the
next session. She has planned to
abolish the various standing subcom-
mittees of her committee, which, so
far at the current session of Congress,
have tied up 81 bills. Instead of refer
ring bill to standing subcommittee,
she proposes to have the full COM
mittee pass on all non-controversial
measures. Legislation regarded as
controversial will be referred to special
subcommittee for hearings and
reports.
The full committee has approved
the plan, ard it will be put into
effect at the next session of Con-
gress. The present arrangement of
referring bills to standing subcom-
mittees was adopted about 10 years
ago when former Representative
Frederick N. zihlman, Republican of
Maryland, was chairman of the Dis.
trict Committee.
Mrs. Norton said she would call
the conferences with District officials.
business and civic leaders within the
next several weeks. She will invite
the Commissioners, the Public Util-
tiles Commission, the Board of

Exercise Often Prevented.
One of the disheartening aspects of
these diseases, it was pointed out by
the exhibit, has been that while sys-
tematic exercise to prevent the muscles
from degenerating is essential to re-
covery, the victims are unable to leave
their beds. Consequently their con-
dition is likely to grow worse, even
when the basic cause of the malady
has been cleared up.
The exercises devised by Dr. Nc
Enerney are designed especially to
improve muscle tone, to preserve the
ability to make co-ordinated move
ments, to save the joints from stiffen-
ing and to keep up the vital blood
circulation to the muscles, without
which they soon would become useless
Before the scientific assembly of
the society today DR.. w. Wayne Bah
cock, professor of surgery at Temple
University, Philadelphia, discussed
medical and surgical management Of
benign and malignant tumors of the
large and small intestines. The rela-
lions of the endocrine glands to
tumors, involving a complicated inter-
action of hormones in the blood
stream, was presented before the So
ciety by Drs. j. w. Lindsay, E. C..
Rice and M. A. Sellinger.
Drs. Lyon and Horgan Heard.
Drs. James A. Lyon and Edmund
Horgan presented a detailed account
of their new surgical treatment of
angina pectoris and congestive heart
failure by "hobbling" the activity Of
the thyroid gland. which first was an
nounced before the American College
of Surgeons last Spring. This opera
ton has resulted in noteworthy sue
cess in Washington hospitals. Con-
trary to the general impression, the
physicians were told by Col H. C..
Pillsbury. head of the x-ray depart
ment of Walter Reed Hospital, primary
cancer Of the lung is not a rare dis
ease.
The growing attack upon social dis
eases was stressed by DR. Charles W.
Clarke of New York City. A compli-
mentary luncheon was addressed by
U. H. Clegg of the Department of
Justice.
The session this afternoon was con-
Quoted by the Tri-State Medical Asso-
citation, composed of physicians of
Washington, Maryland and Virginia.
Among the papers were those on the
treatment of eye injuries. by DR..

DR.. Earle G. Breeding. The public as

Man Or?
An X-ray picture of one Of the
strangest human skulls known to the
medical profession today formed an
exhibit at the opening Of the annual
scientific assembly of the Medical So
ciety of the District of Columbia.
It was referred to DR.. Herbert H.
Schoenfeld, Washington brain surgeon,
by DR.. F. D. Rodgers of Columbia,
S. C. Actually it is the skull of a
World War veteran with an excellent
service record, but as shown on the
X-ray plate it seems to represent a
million-year throwback to the days
when the human race was just emery
ing from its great ape ancestry.
The man has no forehead. There is
almost straight. sioping line from the
upper jaw to the crown of the head.
The under jaw represents an extreme
development of prognathism, project
ing forward distance almost equal
to the width of the head. The spinal
column is set far forward from the
human pattern. The teeth are mas
sive and projecting. There are ape
like bony ridges over the eyes. Dug
up from solitary grave. such a skull
almost certainly would impress any
one but professional anthropoiogist
as that of a hitherto unknown pre-
human precursor of the race In bat
tie line the man may we'll have pre-
sented frightful appearance as an
ogre-like creature.
Serums Aid Pneumonia Fight.
Notable success in reducing the
death rate from pneumonia in the Dis
trict by use of specific serums for diff
ferent types of this disease caused by
varieties Of the pneumococcus organ
ism formed the subject of an exhibit
by DR.. Harry F. Bowling. He listed Is
types of pneumonia due to the organ
ism-some of which are very rare and
would almost never be met with in &C
tual practice.
The death rate from pneumonia Of
type one. which includes approx
mately 80 per cent of all pneumonia,
was cut from 413 for untreated cases
to 1876 for those on which the serum
specific for this type was used. Type
two, which includes about per cent,
showed a death rate reduced from 40
to 20 per cent from the untreated to
the treated cases. Type seven, whose
specific organism causes about 7 per
cent of the pneumonia cases, showed
a mortality reduction from 25.8 to Sc
per cent.
A system of exercises in bed for
victims of arthritis and convalescents
from infantile paralysis was demon
strated in an exhibit by DR.. c. H.
McEnerney. The bed-ridden patient
is able to take this exercise alone

WOMAN FIGHTS
FIRE, WINS

Mrs. Elizabeth Hunt today
tossed all of the furniture out Of
the second-floor bedroom Of her
home at 233 Bryant st. N. E.
when a short circuit on the radio
set the bed, mattresses and rugs
on fire. She was seriously burned
on her left hand and both arms.
Mrs. Hunt was in the back
yard shortly after her two daugh-
tiers, Pauline and Helen, went to
work this morning when neigh
bors told her the front part of
her house was on fire.
Running upstairs, Mrs. Hunt
seized the smoking radio and
tossed it out the window. Then
she grabbed the blazing mattress
and threw it out the window,
then rolled up the rug and
dumped it and two chairs, table
and two lamps into the street.
When firemen arrived they
found the furniture burning in
the street and only charred paper
on the wall. Mrs. Hunt was
nursing her hand and arm. After
being given first aid, Mrs. Hunt
asked the firemen to leave, say
ing:
I'm sorry I called you'll
put the fire out myself"

mand for q bonus came from the
Hearst newspapers throughout
the country only a short time
after the Armistice was signed.
AS early as December %, 1918,
editorials in most of the Hearst
newspapers advocated the pay
ment Of six months pay to al
men under arms.
Later, as ideas for other
methods of compromising the
veterans began to crystalline, The
Washington Times and other
Hearst newspapers stood behind
all reasonable plans, and con
tinued to fight until the final
payment in the form of "baby
bonds" was made possible by
the present Congress.
Papers Fought Alone
During this long period, many
other newspapers openly opposed
any form Of bonus, even though
organized groups Of veterans and
many other national organiza-
tions were in favor of the COM
penSation.
Official recognition of the
Hearst newspapers campaign has
come from many posts of veter.
ans organizations. as we'll as

The Surprise Symphony No. g.

the large audience. This work,
which is heard so seldom on SYM

as Norwegian Rhapsody No. 2"

A second mass meeting OF civic
and welfare organizations in
Prince Georges county will be held
tonight in the Bladensburg fire
house to further plans for a joint
campaign to raise funds for the
Washington Community Chest in
the metropolitan areas of Mary
land and Virginia.
At the initial meeting Of the
groups last week, under sponsor
ship of the Federation of Citizens
Associations of Prince Georges,
Fred w. Nickel, Cheverly, an
nounced that the Washington au-
thorities had agreed to turn
county contributions back to the
county if responsible organiza-
ton was set up to handle the
funds.
One of the questions to be con-
Sidered will be the advisability of
erecting a hospital in Prince

An announcement made several
weeks ago and a prediction Of a
couple Of days ago are further cor
roborated. The announcement
concerned the fact that the mem
bers Of the National Symphony
Orchestra would give a series Of
summer concerts in washington
on a cooperative basis; and the
prediction was that the 60-piece
symphony orchestra directed by
YaSha Bunchuk at the Loew's Fox
Theater would be held over an
other week.
The management Of the Fox
has been overwhelmed with letters
and phone calls praising the SYM
phony orchestra and asking that
it be continued. All Of which goes
to prove that WashingtonianS ap-
preciate high-claSS music, eSpe-
cially when presented by a con-
ductor that combines Snowman
ship with thorough musicianship.
Mr.. Bunchuk has arranged an
other overture made up of ex-
cerptS from symphonic repertoire,
including movements from Les
PreludeS" GiSzD; Caucasian
Ske C h s" Oppolitow-Ivanow):
Flight Of the Bumble-Bee" (Rim-
Sky-Korsakow): "Marche Slav"
(TSchaikowsky), and waltz
Triste" (SibeliuS). This overture
will be heard with each stage pre-
sentation for a week, starting to-
morrow.
The members of the National
Symphony Orchestra have formed
an incorporated body known as
the washington Summer Concert
Association, Inc" and have al
ready been assured the use of the
Watergate site for holding
series Of summer concerts starting
July IL and ending with Labor
Day. The Symphonies on the
Potomac" will be given three
times week for eight weeks, max
ing total of "a concerts.
At the meeting of the new as
ISOLATION yesterday morning, it
was decided to contact prominent
conductors to act as guest direc-
tors for a week each. AS the Ma
tional Symphony Association de-
layed making a final decision on
the summer series for such a long
time, the lateness of the season
will doubtless handicap the new
association in getting the directors
desired. We predict that they will
be able to line up at least as good
a list Of conductors as were heard
here last summer.
The earnestneSS and intensity of
effort of the orchestra musicians
is atteSted by the fact that
they raised $4,000 at the meeting
without going outside their own
membership. AS the largest ex-
pense of conducting symphony
concerts is the salary paid the
musicians, the greatest obstacle to
successful season is at once over
come by the plan to share and
share alike.

are ready to manage the series of
concerts, select conductors, and
give their own time for recon-
pense that may be SIS or $50 a
week. When such noble effort
is made to provide Washington
with the highest class of summer
symphony concerts, the least the
music-loving public can do is to
support the same musicians that
played the summer concerts last
year in the same manner as last
summer.

Roy Scott Reported For Nine Man
Commission On WPA
Project

At a meeting of the Community
Club last Thursday evening a report
of a nine-man commission given by
Roy Scott stated the difficulty en-
countered in getting WPA projects,
was through transformation. It was
stated that projects for townships
would cost 17.8 per cent, but when
1t was placed in front of the COM
mission, the cost was 30 per cent.
When one township agreed to pay
and work was ready to be begun,
the project would not be granted.
Mr.. Scott was designated to con-
tact the City Council in regard to
a street tarvia project.
Ben F. Dubois reported that he
felt sure that the new post office
building would be approved and
advised the Club to extend no fur
Their work on that score.
Secretary Walt Gritzmacher was
instructed to write to the State
Highway department regarding the
approach on the north side Of the
bridge to ascertain why 1t has not
been completed. He was also des-
ignated to contact the Sank Gen.
tire business men in regard to clos
ing on November IL, Armistice
Day. It was further voted that let
tiers would be sent to manufactfir-
ing concerns, reported to be plan
