MILK PARLEY
TO BE HELD
TOMORROW
Rutland and Eiqht
Dairymen to Settle
Cost Dispute

Officials Of eight Washington
dairieS have been summoned to
meet tomorrow with DR.. George
c. Rutland, District health Off
Ger, for a conference on the milk
situation in the District.
DR.. Rutland said he has reports
from his staff that the milk sup
ply in the Capital is adequate and
no reason can be seen for any ad-
vance in the price of milk.
Stories Differ
This statement was at odds with
the stories advanced by some milk
dealers to the effect that the
drought had a serious effect on
the supply and an advance in the
price of milk appeared almost GER
tain.
The meeting tomorrow is the
first which DR.. Rutland will hold
in pursuance of resolution
adopted last week by the District
Commissioners, calling upon him
to investigate all angles of the
local milk situation and to report
particularly on the local regula-
tions, which some critics have held
to be too drastic and responsible
for the high price of milk in the
District.
Further ParleyS Set
Following the meeting with
the dairy officials. DR.. Ruhland
said he planned sessions with the
milk producers at later date and
also with officials of the United
States Public Health Service,
which promulgated the national
milk code.
Local regulations, he said. close
ly followed the national code.

PLANS DRIVE
ON DIPHTHER|A
Capital Has Largest
Rate Of Any Major
City in Country

Alarmed over a spread of diph-
liberia in the Nations Capital,
Er. George c. Ruhland, municipal
health officer, said today he is
planning a campaign during the
summer to combat the disease.
He said:
"The city of Washington COM
= paratively has the largest rate
for the disease of any major
city in the country. There is no
excuse for it in this day and
age"
200 Carriers Found
Statistics revealed that to date
this year there have been 426
cases of the disease reported, re-
Sulting in 81 deaths. He also said
400 carriers of the disease had
been discovered.
DR.. Ruhland revealed he
planned to call upon the Dis
trict Medical Society to aid him
In the fight.
Should Be Immunized
He declared that parents
should take advantage of modern
immunization methods to protect
their children. A child as young
as months old may be immun-
lied, he said, either by the fam.
lily physician or through the
clinic of the Health Department.
In addition to the fight
against diphtheria, DR.. Rutland
stated that during the summer
children should be taken regu-
largely to their physicians or to
clinics to have checks of tonsilS,
visual and other defects cor
rected before the opening Of
school.

If the officials are really out

terburians in out-of-town hospitals.
 Males exceeded the female in the number of births. There were 730 males and 676 females born during the year, according to the local vital statistics. Of this total, 1878 were white and 28 were colored. Thirty four still births occurred in cases involving Waterbury residents. Eight still births were recorded, in- volving non-residents.
 Waterbury's crude birth rate for 1895 is recorded at 13.4 per 1000 population. The crude death rate is 9.3, figured on a similar population basis. The infant mortality rate for 1883 was 55.3. According to Health Officer Dr. E. J. Godfrey, the in- fant mortality rate of 38.3 for 1885 invites interest. A total of 54 in- fants died under one year of age, a decrease of fl compared with 1884. According to Dr. Godfrey, this total can be reduced yearly if mothers will only arrange for better pre- natal advice and attention. There were 12 less stillbirths in 1885 than in 1894.

United Press Staff Correspondent)
 London, March 6.-(UP)-A group of prominent medical men of Great Britain, out to debunk . wave of fads for dealing with "unmanage- able" children, warn parents to stop "tinkering" with child psychology.
 If 6 young son is irritable, rest less or scatter brained, the chances are ten to one that he's just imaginative. Leave him alone and he probably will grow out of 1t.
 "The passage of time," said Dr. Reginald Miller of St. Mary's and Paddington Green Children's hos- pitals, "and the development of the child do vastly alter the pat tern of the child's mind, usually to the advantage of everyone.
 Thus the old prognostic view that 6 child will grow out of it's outrageous ways seems to be Q perfectly accurate forecast of what does in fact take place"
 Strict Status Decried
 Complaining that children al- ways have been flair game" for enthusiastic theorists, Dr. Miller said that if they are to be ana lyzed by such strict standards as have been set up by the psycholo- gists they will be put in the status of aliens or lunatics.
 Everywhere we meet parents who are tinkering with their chil- drens psychology as they used to tinker with their children's inc sides," the physician said.
 The physicians supporting pr. Miller's crusade of debunking-- most of them are on the staffs of large children's hospitals in Lon- don--said that despite mothers fears children are' able to thrive in all sorts of atmosphercs and have their own way of avoiding all kinds of perils.
 The great weakness of the psychologists" Dr. Miller said, "is the way in which they directly link cause and effect in Q manner often too hay to be convincing. Far too little credit is given to the beneficial effects of the pas sage of time and the gradual de- velopment of the child"
 The physicians agreed that there are far fewer backward children than the psychologists would have parents believe. They also minimized the effects of home environment, stating that environment rarely was the direct cause of Q difficult child, but that it might aggravate conditions. Parents Seen Losing Many parents whose children display strong and aggravatine temperaments are waging Q use iess fight when they try to change them, Dr. Miller contended.
 "1t is absolutely no use wasting time on these inherent character. ] istics, as we cannot change them.

In Recital
Two Singers, Pianist
Appear at Washing

~LELIA FIORAVANTI, mezzo-

tone, and Priska Kaspar,
~ pianist, were presented in
recital last evening in the Washing
ton Club by the International Art
Forum, Amelia Cont, founder-presi-
dent. The young musicians did credit
able work and showed much talent.
and the audience, which almost filled
the ball room. was enthusiastic, re-
calling the soloists after each number.
Both singers have voices OF pleasing
quality and sing with good breath
control and clear enunciation. Their
numbers last evening stressed too
much the medium and lower tones
and a sacrifice of excellent high tones
which should be developed to ad-
vantage. Miss Fioravanti particularly,
sang many bell-like headtones, though
the majority of her work was in the
medium and lower portions Of her
voice, and much Of her singing in the
medium voice was almost nasal. Mr..
Moore also suffers from over-devel-
oped medium and lower voice with q
consequent sacrifice of high tones.
which would be not only valuable in
his range, but beautiful.
Miss Fioravanti was more at ease In
the Italian songs than those which
she sang in French, and her English
was delightfully."- clear and distinct.
Her singing is apparently easy, al
though her throat showed fatigue
before the close Of the program, and
her phrasing and legato are unusual
in young singer.
Mr. Moore opened the program with
a group of German songs which he
sang well, showing excellent breath
control and color in his tone and
phrasing.
Miss Kaspar, who played two num-
bers. is a gifted young pianist and
plays with q clear, singing tone,
flexible fingers, and an appreciation
Of the poetic passages.
Miss Fioravanti and Mr.. Moore
closed the program with a duet. La
ci darem la Mano," from Mozart's
Don Giovanni" which they did very
we'll, their voices blending nicely.
Villa Semple played Miss Flora
vanti's accomplishments and Evelyn
Wells was at the piano for Mr. Moore.

PIERCE HALL PLAYERS
PRESENT "SCARECR0W"
Group Makes Last Appearance of
Current Season With Percy
MacKaye's 4-Act Play.

THE Pierce Hall Players, making
their last appearance Of current
season. last night took up the strange
fantasies of Mr. Percy MacKaye's four
act item for the stage, entitled "The
Scarecrow," and the results, from
the production standpoint, were just
about all that could be desired.
The first of Mr.. MacKaye's four acts.
with Blacksmith Bess (played with
fine spirit by Joanne Adams) domi-
mating the scene and with Dickon,
the devil, aiding Bess' witchcraft and
turning the scarecrow into her son,
was the best portion of last nights
performance. The players jumped
in with a vim and vigor as soon as
the curtain was opened and took
Mr.. MacKaye's first act through its
PAGES in fine style.
From there, with Dickon taking
Lord Ravensbane (the scarecrow) into
the home of the man who did Bess
wrong years back and generally dis
rupting his life while Ravensbane
wooS his niece, the players went on
with spirit. Perhaps they and the
director let the action lag perceptibly
in a few minor instances in the next
couple of acts, but on the whole, the
production was truly commendable
Even if you don't particularly care
for Mr.. MacKaye's piece ian under
standable state of mind you would
have admired the smooth near -profes-
Sionalism of the Pierce Hall playing
of it.
A couple Of tricky bits Of stage
buSineSS-the removal Of large mir
ror and the apparent folding of it
inside of a cloth, right before the
audiences eyes, and the replacing
of the scarecrow with the actor who
took his place-were affected with
perfection. The mirror, incidentally,
is a deceptive affair, transparent or
rejecting, at the will Of somebody
backstage.
Other than Miss Adams, whose
smooth playing made the first act
what 1t was the best work was turned
in by Frank Koonce as the Scarecrow.
Jack Aracey as Dickon, Felice Lloyd
as the niece who attracted Ravensbane
and Robert P. Marshall as the lad
who really loved the gal.
THE Scarecrow" was directed by
Ina L. Halves and K. Hiding Bell
has done a pair of fine sets The
play will be repeated tonight at $50
