DOCTORS OFFER
SUBSTITUTE FOR
"CROUP HEALTH"
To Meet Challenge. Of
'SoCiaIized Medicine

Leaders of the American Medi-
cal Association and the District
Medical Society are preparing to
meet the challenge of group medi-
cal treatment, or "socialized medi-
cine"
1t was learned today that as a
second step in combating Group
Health Association, Inc, formed
by officials and employees Of the
Federal Home Loan Bank Board
for the purpose of extending group
disqualification and treatment to
all civilian employees of the Federal
Government, the medical associa.
tions are working on an alterns-
tive plan Of their own.
PLAN FINISH FIGHT
This disclosure came as the
medical association prepared for
finish fight on group health, on
legal and ethical grounds.
Although there has been no an
nouncement of the medical So
ciety's purpose, the alternative is
understood to contemplate treat
ment of any Washington family
whose income falls below $4,000
year for a fixed monthly fee, to
a central clinic. The patient
would choose his own physician
and the physician would bill the
clinic.
Fees would be fixed on a sliding
scale from 25 cents to SO a month
or more. based on individual fam
lily incomes.
DRIVE MONTH OLD
A statement is expected from
the District Medical Society in a
short time.
Meanwhile it was learned that
the national medical body first de-
manded a month ago that Group
Health be incorporated under the
Districts insurance laws and are
understood to have conferred since
with DR.. Rutland. District health
officer, Corporation Counsel FL
wood H. Seal and United States
Attorney Leslie C. Garnett.
DR.. Rutland yesterday asked for
a legal opinion as to whether the
association has complied with Dis.
trict law.
IF and when Group Health AS
socistion begins to practice medi-
cine, as proposed" a report of the
American Medical Association de-
clares, "the United States District
Attorney and the Corporation
Counsel for the District, will be
bound to take action to enforce
the law"
NO CAPITAL STOCK
Legal objections by the medical
association to Group Health are
based on the fact that it has no
capital stock, that there is no per-
sonal liability on the part of it's
members, and that it is incorpor-
ated under a chapter Of the Dis
trict code authorizing incorpora-
ton of benevolent, charitable,
educational. literary, musical,
scientific, religious and missionary
organizations, including societies
formed for mutual improvement"
This device is attacked by the
medical body as designed to cir
cumvent incorporation under a
different provision of the code,
covering incorporation Of health,
accident and life insurance com.
panies.
1t is also objected that group
health proposes to practice medi-
cine without a license.

to miss you things will be
quite different.
M. WI am very much worried.
Tell me if my husband will do
what 1 want and how soon?
Ans.-He is very firm in his de-
cisiOn not to TAKE YOU BACK
so you may as well give up the
idea for a while. He was hurt and
as you well know it takes him a
mighty long time to get over dis
appointments such as you forced
on him. Don't keep after him
let him come to you.
D. B. ibid she die a natural
death and will you please give me
full particulars? What must ]
do?
Ans.-She did =. entirely nat
ural. No one was responsible in
any way for your mother passing
on. If possible complete your
school training and if you find this
cannot be done then find a job
and go to work and take some kind
of night school course.
P. S.-What is the matter with
my girl friend and me? Is the
fault in her or in me? Is she
going with another man?
Ans.-The fault appears to lie
with you you make both of
your lives miserable by being SO
JEALOUS of the girl. No /.
she isn't going with any other boy
friend, however she is free to do
so if she desires. If you want to
tie her down to you alone then you
perhaps had better marry her.
L. w. C.-Mother and father
bought a trailer and are planning
on leaving here in week. They
want me to remain with grand
mother and complete my school
term. Would I be doing wrong to
leave and go some place else?
Ans.-Indeed you would you
silly child. It is necessary for
your mother to get your father to
a different climate as soon as pos
sible as you well know. Stay with
your grandparent and complete
your school term and she will
SEND FOR YOU in June. If you
run away {. you will be very very
disappointed as well as regret it a
thousand times.

cess of such?
Ans.-YOu could yes. And as
you are preparing yourself for

your husband and this woman pic

and you would enjoy life in peace
A. CT can't succeed in moth
ing that do and wish that you
would tell me my faults?
Ans.-YOu have never begun
anything that you liked well
enough to put your WHOLE
HEART into. You choose jobs you
dislike and you know that you
aren't going to do them well. Make
up your mind the line of work you
! wish to follow and you won't have
this trouble again.
G. B.-Why doesn't the gentle
man that I have been going out OF
town to see come to my home to
see me?
Ans.-YOu don't give him a
chance. Just as long as you con-
tinue to make these trips to see
him at his home town he will
never visit you. Stay at home for
a few weeks and give him chance

DOGS CALL FOR HELP OVER
TELEPHONE SAVES HIS PAL

1t was Sunday. All was quiet and
serene in a certain Detroit, Mich,
poultry and pet store. Two dogs had
been left to have the run of the
place. They were pals and, having
plenty to eat, they were content.
Suddenly, however, one of them, in
romping around, became entangled
in the telephone cord and could not
work himself loose. The telephone
instrument was dragged to the floor,
and slowly but surely the dog was
being strangled to death. In this
emergency the other dog knew
what to do and did it. He summoned
help for his stricken pal over the
very instrument which threatened
his life.
An alert telephone operator in the
Randolph dial Office answered the
permanent signal on the switch
board. There was no response, but
she did hear a slight whimpering
sound, so she summoned Mrs. Violet
Porter, who was in charge. Mrs.
Porter notified the police, who re-
ported back that there was no cause
for alarm, only dog barking in the
store. However, Mrs. Porter was not
entirely satisfied with this report.
She located the owner of the store
and gave the information which re-
suited in saving the dogs life.

did last week? Sunday night was
a good evening for romances ac-
cording to one eavesdropper, who
strolled into a certain tavern in st.
Paul and heard in an adjacent booth
the following: He: "You are too
beautiful for words. Will you
give up RI and go steady with
me?" She: 81 bet you say that
to all the girls; anyway, you are
not the kind of boy for a girl
like me-" She is dear, though
somewhat beefy, and he, well, he
could be called Lanky.' I'm sorry
they didn't fix it up just to make a
proper balance. So, don't breathe
this to a soul and when you do,
don't mention me 1t takes
personality and tact to succeed and
I'm afraid that boy who is trying
so desperately to make his grade
out at the 'U' will need to stop
carrying the chip. Savvy? .

NEW D. {. TAX
PLAN TOULOUSE

Anticipating a $6,5OO,OOO deficit
in the next fiscal year, District
Commissioners today submitted
to the special House District sub
committee. studying tax and leglS-
lative reforms for the Washington
Government, an increased tax pro
gram designed to raise $4,000
for the general fund.
The program includes the auto
mobile weight, increased gasoline
and insurance premium taxes
previously recommended to the
subcommittee and proposals for
imposition of an inheritance tax
and a business privilege tax.
The business privilege tax, it is
estimated, will raise $6,000,000, but
it was pointed out that this pro-
posal permits $1,80O,000 worth of
deductions now paid in personal
property taxes.
Other Estimates
The inheritance tax, based on
a rate of l per cent on 100000
and graduated upward, is intended
to raise 100000.
Other taxes are expected to
yield. Weight tax, $1,500,OOO; in

A few months ago fashionable
Mayfair hostesses fought and
schemed to get on Mrs. Simp-
sons guest lists. To be invited
to dine at Wally's home at Cum
berland Terrace was a social tri-
umph. 1t meant belonging to
the Kings Set"
But Wally, who was welcomed
by Mayfair society as the Kings
favorite, was outcast as the ex-
Kings fiancee. Nothing is as
dead, socially, as yesterdays

society women, including men,

Wendell said that Immediately
after learning of the baby's dis
appearance he went to the elder

clearing up the mystery. Parker,
he said, asked him to help contact
somebody in the underworld"
and Wendell consented.
The witness then outlined a So

Hello There Greeting
Of Radiant Fiancee
To Ex-King
By KENNETH T. DOWNS

MONTS, France, May 4
(IN.S.).-Six months of pa
tient waiting came to an end
this afternoon when the Duke
of Windsor rejoined Mrs. Wal
lis Warfield Simpson at the
historic Chateau de Cande.
During the many weeks Mrs.
Simpson had waited for her
divorce to become final, she
and the King who for the love
of her had renowned throne
and country were separated by
nearly a thousand miles and
the frontiers of two foreign
nations.
But today, with a crunch Of
gravel beneath speeding auto
mobile wheels and the clang Of
a heavy gate on the fringe of
the chateau grounds, their long
| loneliness ended.
3 It was at lao p. m. (7:4O a. m.
q. s. IT, that the duke, almost
hidden by luggage in the back
seat of Mrs. Simpsons luxurious
limousine, sped through the gates
of the chateau. T,-.
Last $50 Miles by Auto
He had left the Salzburg- Arl-
berg express at the little town Of
Verneuil L'Etang, where the car
was waiting to meet him.
Over $50 miles of winding roads
through the beautiful and historic
chateau countrS' of France he sped
for his reunion with the American
woman without whose love and
companionship he had found it
impossible to carry on as king.
Newspaper reporters, photograr
pliers, French gendarmeS and Spe-
cial detectives were maSsed outside
the gates when the dukes car ap-
preached.
