Experts Here Discuss
Social Disease Evil

viewed, according to Pelouze, as a
challenge rather than an excuse
for neglect"
Prevention of syphilis in ex-
pectant mothers and congenital
syphilis would largely be divulged
from tragic results if early stages
of the disease were successfully de-
tected and treated, DR.. j. H.
Stokes, professor of dermatology
and syphilology Of the University
of Pennsylvania, told the dele
delegates.
Decrying intermittent" treat
ment, Stokes declared that an
alternating system of treatment
and subsequent lapses results in
relapses and delay of successful
treatment.
Frequent blood tests and spinal
fluid inspections were described by
Stokes unnecessary as a routine
procedure" He added that latent
syphilis calls for the same con-
tinuity and technic as early syphi-
lis, except that fewer injections are
necessary.
DR.. Stokes advocated two blood
tests for each pregnancy. He ex-
planned that the first should be
administered at the third month,
in order to make possible institu-
ton of treatment before the fifth
month. The second test, he said,
should be at the eighth month, so
that the possible transmission of
infection during pregnancy could
be detected.

BONDS
UNLIKELY T0BE
AUTHORIZED

ROCKVILLE, Md, Dec. %.
Authorization by the Maryland
legislature at it's January session
of a $470 900 school expansion pro
gram for Montgomery county ap-
pears unlikely, officials said here
today.
The recommendation for addi-
tional school facilities presented
to the board of commissioners last
week by DR.. Edwin W. Broome,
superintendent of schools, created
quite a sensation among the mem
berS, who had just agreed to ask
the legislature for authority to
refund all county bond maturitieS
during the next two years.
More Bonds Opposed
Commissioner Paul M. Coughlan
said today that with nearly $780,
600 in bonds maturing this fiscal
year, he did not see how the board
could consent to place any addi-
tional bond burdens on the tax
payers.
DR.. Broome's proposal also up
sets legislative program adopted
by the Montgomery County Civic
Federation a short time ago. This
would bar all future county bond
issues, except refunding bonds,
without first submitting the mat.
ter to referendum.
AS a possible solution to the
school expense problem, Commits
Sioner Coughlin said the members
might seek a larger share of State
aid. He said practically the en-
tire school levy of $3.50, 900 for the
1867 fiscal year is borne by the
county.
Three-Year Program
Broome proposed to provide
school facilities for the next three
years. and suggested an additional
classroom for nearly every school
in the county, besides two new
schools.
An $850,000 school building pro
gram recommended two years ago
by DR.. N. L. Englehardt, of Column
bia University, is now nearing
completion.
A bond issue of $4,000 was
authorized by the legislature last
spring to provide for a site and
erection of the first unit Of a
junior high school at Kensington,
Md.

TAX PAYMENTS
UP FOR 1896
IN FAIRFAX

FAIRFAX COURT HOUSE,
Va, Dec. 28.-Tax collections in
Fairfax county for 1886 were the
best since the predepression year
of 1929, County Treasurer, DR..
F. w. Huddleson, announced here
today.
Showing an increase of nearly
10 per cent over that of last year,
collections up to December 5 of
this year totaled $244, 265.16, of a
total levy of $354,478.50, repre-
Senting $50 per cent of the total
levy.
December 5 was the deadline
for payment of the taxes to escape
the per cent penalty imposed for
payment later than that date.
Collections up to December S of
last year represented only 500 per
cent of the total levy, or 9.3 per
cent les, than the percentage for
the current year.
Showed Decrease
Prior to 1929, DR.. Huddleson ex-
planned, collections on the county
levy were from IS to 80 per cent
of the total by December S. Dur
ing the depression, however, col
lectionS showed sharp decrease
until about three years ago when
they began to slowly rise.
DR.. Huddleson's report revealed
that the State taxes have main
tanned a much higher average,
with 90 per cent of the intangible
levy collected and 80 per cent of
the State income levy paid. The
States total Intangible levy was
$21,317.16, of which $19,367 SO was
collected, while the total income
levy was $23,829.67, with collec-
tionS totaling $19,603.
Capitation levies totaled $19,-
$3.50, of which payments totaled
$6,162, or approximately one-third
Of the levy. Payments on this
levy, it was added, are always low.
286 Parcels Sold
Total pieces of real estate sold
at the county's recent sale for
delinquent taxes for 1884 was 286,
the report further showed, with 81
parcels being sold to individuals
and 265 to the State controller.
Parcels advertised for the tax
sale totaled 389, but the taxes on
103 were paid prior to the sale.
Those whose land was sold have
three years in which to redeem
it by payment of all delinquent
taxes, penalties and interest
charges, it was explained.

Cat Causes Panic

BUDAPEST, Hungary GN.S).
A cat caused a panic in the Ma
tional Theater during the first act
of a Hungarian comedy. The cat
appeared suddenly on the stage,
and, shocked by the light and
noise, sprang at the leading lady.
The actress screamed and dashed
from the stage. The cat sprang
into the first row of the audience.
Everyone thought it was rabid and
the public fled in panic. After a
half-hour's pause the show was
resumed before empty front rows.
The cat disappeared.

"The Federal Government is
deeply interested in conserving
the resources of the country by
all appropriate methods. The at
tainment of your detectives
would do much to conserve our
human resources, and would
reduce considerably the present
large costs for the community
care of the disastrous results of
the venereal diseases. You have
my best wishes for success"
Keynote of the conference was
sounded by DR.. r. A. Vonderlehr,
assistant surgeon general, who de-
clared that direct expenditures
for the control of venereal dis
eases are very small. Vonderlehr
pointed out that in only six States

by Vonderlehr at the head of the
systematically conscious States,
with 3 cents per capita its average
expenditure.

An eight-point anti-gonorrhea
campaign was outlined by the
health service official. 1t included:
81. The appointment of full.

2. A much more liberal policy
with regard to the free distri-

-. The more widespread use
of epidemiOlOgic investigations

SO. Greater persistence on the
part of health officers in the at

IS. The development Of an in
creased number of facilities for
the provision of treatment.
"7. The adoption of reason

formal recognition is given to
