Tax Group To Meet
Major Daniel j. Donovan, Dis
trict auditor, has called meeting
of the special committee ap-
pointed by the city heads to study
new sources of revenues for Thurs
day at 2 p. m. For several months
this committee has been "treading
water" awaiting compilation Of
the 1888 budget estimates and a
hint on the possibility of obtain
ing a larger Federal contribution.
The budget this year was split
into two sections-the first Sec
ton dealing solely with mainte.
nance and the second dealing with
Improvements. In his report to the
Commissioners, Donovan declared
that both sections represented
vital needs of the municipality.
Section one totals $42 ,805 1903,
section two, $5,O89,7O7. The an
swer to the Districts doleful fl
nancial plight was contained in a.
paragraph of the auditors report,
which detailed:
Since 1882 the District has SUI.
fered a total revenue loss of ST.
100000. While this reduction in
revenue was taking place, oper'
ating costs have increased steadily
resulting in IAN accumulation OF
needs. particularly in the public
schools, which cannot be provided
for by the present revenue of the
District"
How Receipts Were Cut
He said the Federal contribution
of 1882 of $9,50O,OO0 had been
slashed $4,5O0,O0O down to the
present $5,0OO,0OO figure; real
estate assessments, including the
vast Federal Government building
program, brought about $780,
900 loss, and the realty tax rate
was cut from $1.70 in 1882 down
to the present $3.50 per 500 valu-
alton, causing a loss of $2,500,000.
To meet part one of the budget
alone, with a $5,00O,000 Federal
contribution figured in, Major
Donovan said an increase to
slightly in excess of $1.70 on realty
would have to be provided while
to meet the entire budget, the tax
rate would have to be $2.10.

.HYBLA VALLEY
HAS BOOM

With the praise of DR.. Hugo
Eckener, commander of the dirigi-
BILE Hindenburg, booming Hybla
Valley as the site for the lighter
than-air crafts western berth
after Atlantic crossings, air inter
ests today looked forward to eS-
Enlistment of Washington as an
important center of air commerce.
DR.. Eckener, who disembarked
from the giant dirigible for a TO-
day stay in America with the sole
purpose of choosing permanent
hangar site, favored Hybla Valley
over all sections which he sur
veyed.
If the section near Alexandria
is finally chosen by the German
air transport, establishment of the
hangar at Hybla Valley will I'M
doubtedly draw other airplane in
terests to the Nations Capital.
DR.. Eckener was impressed with
the possibilities of Hybla Valley,
because of its favorable weather
conditions, and it's proximity to
both the northern and southern
commercial centers along the
Eastern coast.
Merchants and civic bodies of
Baltimore are making a deter
mined effort to attract the Ger
man air service to a site near their
city, but DR.. Eckener stated that
Hybla Valley would serve his pur-
poses better.

Woman is supposed to be the

when the man she loves gets on

up or gets into trouble; and she
goes all to pieces when he is i'll or

turn into a dready waste.
Today, for the first time in his
tory, we can buzz around the
world and check up on the past
for our own good, if we want to
take it that way. Here's my old
friend, Hamilton Wright, just back
from Egypt, where he frequently
goes with some observations rang
ing back a few thousand years,
but highly pertinent to our own
"dust-bowl' of today.
THEIR LESSON
He thinks we should take a good
look at the Sahara and then mend
our ways. Mr.. Wright, an amiable
and genial eclectic in his world
views, has a nice home at Ruther-
ford, N. j., with privet hedge
and a hammock. But, in spite of
this, every year or two he's off
somewhere to some remote corner
of the worlds dust bin, returning
with some sage and enlightening
observations. He said:
"The Egyptians would give a
lot to have a nice dust bowl like
ours. They'd trap it and use it
if they had it. They envy US.
They are old-timerS who could
tell us a lot if we would listen
to them. In the days Of the
Caesars, the lower part of Egypt,
between Cairo and Alexandria,
was the great Roman 'granary
Of the world
"Their roads and their ruins
remain and, fortunately, the soil
still has about the productivity
of, say, the desert regions around
CaIexicO, on the California bOr-
der. This is the only region.
into which Egypt can expand.
They must reclaim and rebuild
this ancient soil, and this they
are doing, by one of the most
StupendOus engineering projects
of all time. From the Upper
Nile they will divert water 1000
miles through a parched desert.
At Lake Albert, at the head Of
the White Nile, they will build
a reservoir which will hold
81, ZOO, ,OOO,OOO cubic meters Of
water.
COTTON THE CROP
Below the dam there will be
an elaborate system of catch
basins and canals in the west
ern Sudan, to keep water from
Oozing away to the Great Nile
Swamp. This will be entirely
a government project, backed
by the great Egyptian Banque
Misar, and only Egyptian CAPT
tai will be used. Egyptian and

others strive to please, they must
be coaxed and teaSed, thereby
making a racket of their mod
eSty" and grabbing the spotlight
quite as effectively as the friendly,
willing souls.
But people get wise to such
pests. hate them. g ct h un k
with them"
Indeed they do. And thereby
give these neurotic natures the
satisfaction they've been seeking.
For, just as normal people enjoy
popularity, so these contrary crea-
lures enjoy PUNISHMENT.
The psychologists have handy
name for it-they call it "maso-
chism." A masochist is a person
who, instead of resenting suffer
ing, delights in it. Derives a
sense of Importance from it. Ends
by actually seeking it, and making
a racket of his own pain and
humiliation.
DON'T YIELD!
Wives who whine continually
about their husbands beatings,
yet refuse to take any steps
about it, are "masochiSts."
Husbands who everlastingly
complain of their wives nagging,
yet likewise refuse to take
stand against it, are "maSoch-
lists"
Workers who spend their days
cringing before some overbearing
boss, instead of telling him how
come and where-to. are "masoch-
lists"
People who yelp about the bru-
tality of the capitalistic system,
yet won't take a job which will
lift them out Of the bread line,
are "masochistS."
All of us are maSochiStS when
we yield to Self-pity. go around
complaining about our Bad Luck
instead of doing something about
it.
Life in this twentieth century
is a tough rap for even the Sturdi-
est souls to take. We've gone
ahead too fast for our own Ca
pacitieS of body or mind. We're
facing too many new problems .
being forced to make too many
new adjustments. And the tempta,
tion to become a maSochiSt, to
rely upon SELFPITY rather than
upon SELF-RESPECT, hangs over
us all like poison gas.
DON'T YIELD!
Don't make a racket of being
contrary, hanging back, getting in
wrong, taking a beating.
LIFE'S CHALLENGING YOU!
Take that challenge like a two
fisted man-not a white mouse.
