was in Harbor Hospital today, the
victim of an overdose of sleep
ing powders she is reported to
have taken following a quarrel
with Tommy.
After pretty Alice suffered re-
lapse at Bon Repos, Manville's

ing at Bon RepoS for about a
month. And then came one dread
full Saturday it was.
Tommy and Alice had a spat.
Alice left, according to police, in
a huff and in a taxi she paid for
herself. Then she came back to

Tommy said, according to police,
that Alice was pretty sick after
that. She called me up and told
me she'd taken an overdose of
sleeping powder"

EATING SPEED
|SDECRIEDB BY
CAFEMAN

Tomato soup and steak are the
favorite foods Of Washingtonians,
according to Pete Borras, local res.
taurateur, who expounded volu'
bly, on the eating habits of the
residents Of the District.
Cornered over a cup OF coffee
during today's session Of the Re
gional Restaurant Convention at
the Mayflower Hotel, Mr.. Borras
was mainly concerned over the
speed with which WaShingtonians
consume their meals.
Lifting his eyebrows in a ira.
ditional Spanish manner, he being
of Spanish origin, Mr.. Borras
said:
"Humph, Is minutes for
breakfast! Rush, rush, rush, and
when they're through, what do
they do with their time
nothing"
Supper Rush
For lunch, he pointed out. local
residents stretch their meals be
yond 30 minutes, not much be
yond, but just enough to make
them late for the regulation Gov
eminent Commute lunch period
But Mr.. Borras mainly objects to
the supper rush. He points out:
by supper time, when there is
no occasion to rush, they are so
imbued with the idea Of speed
that they take their supper in
the same stride as breakfast
and lunch"
It's the social life, he explains
Eating has become a secondary
matter here, he explains, and then
reminiSces on European eating
customs. Perhaps Americans will
get wise to themselves" he muses.
FavOrs Men Chefs
And while he is on the subject
of eating, Mr.. BorraS declares him
self in favor of masculine chefs
and walters. He commits himself
definitely:
Cooking is a mans prer0ga-
tive. For an attraction, wait
resSes perhaps, but for eff
cheney, I'll take walters in pref
erence."
Sessions of the convention viii
terminate tonight with a banquet
in honor of the officers and di
rectors of the National Restaur
ant Association, who are attend
ing the meeting.

ANNUAL CHRISTMAS
SEAL SALE NOW ON
Funds To Be Used To Com
bat tuberculosis in
This State

The Christmas Seal Sale, which is
now under way, will be the thirtieth
that has been conducted in the
United States to raise funds to COM
bat one of the oldest and most dan
gerous enemies of mankind tuber-
culosis.
The Christmas Seal idea was orig
mated in Denmark in 1903 by pos
tai clerk named Elinar Holboell, and
brought to this country in 1907.
Since that time the organized fight
against tuberculosis has grown until
there are now more than forty ma
tons using the Christmas Seal to
combat tuberculosis.
On this, the thirtieth anniversary
there is an encouraging story to be
told in Maryland When Miss Emily
Bissell of Delaware introduced the
Seal to this country in 1907 the tu-
berculosis death rate in this state
was 204 per 100000 people. Today,
after thirty years effort, this rate has
been reduced to 70 per 100000. A
decrease in the rates of tuberculosis
incidence has paralleled the decline
in deaths. The agencies for appre-
hending new cases, caring for sick
patients and for preventing further
spread of the disease are now eff
GENTLY organized and are working
together in a united effort.
The county tuberculosis associa-
tions too are striving to make this
The Hagerstown globe. (Hagerstown, Md.) 1936-1943, 1936-12-04

anniversary year one of the greatest
IN the fight against tuberculosis. The
local Seal Sale Chairmen have been
working for several weeks LAYING
their plans and getting the salt un-
der way. Today these plans have
materialized and the sale to date has
been most encouraging. The chair
man for Washington County is DR..
Crown O. Diehl.
William B. Matthews, managing di-
rector of the Maryland tuberculosis
Association, in speaking of the goth
anniversary of the Christmas Seal,
said: '"The citizens of Maryland who
have purchased and used Christmas
Seals during the past thirty years,
have reason to be proud. The anti
tuberculosis work that they have
made possible through these pur-
chases has saved thousands of lives
and has preserved hundreds Of
homes. Activities such as the Mir
acle House, the statewide clinics,
health education and medical re-
search look to the Christmas Seal
for support and it is hoped that these
agencies will finish the work that
was started thirty years ago."

INCOME TAX REURNs
 70 PERCENT OVER 1884

TACOMA, March Especially Another proof of the improved economic conditions of the citizens of the State of Washington and ''o Territory of Alaska, as shown by their increased earnings dudng 1935 as against 1894, is being re- corded daily by the 1885 income tax collections which are being re- ceived With returns filed, Alex Me Vierhus, Collector of Internal Rev. enue, stated today.
 Collections for January, 6. were Fl per cent oyer January. 1885, and for February, 1886, 65 per cent over February, 1885, or a gross gain for the first two months of approximately 67 per cent.
 Collections of current income tax for the first two months tot~.l 67,475.42, a gain of $2B9,258.43 over the collection for the first two months of 1885. The Collector be- lieyes this increase is even more notable for the reason that the in- come tax collections for the yea 1885 were approximately so per cent over the year 1894.
 It is interesting to note that the greater part of the increase for the first two months of this year has been or 1O40A income tax returns which are filed by the small salary and wage earning class. The rec ords so far indicate a substantial gain, however, for all classes of tax TRyers.
