Building Costs Money

is not difficult to prepare tlve-year CONSTRUCTION
| program for the District of Columbia which would
cal for expenditure of total of seventyfve million
dollars as Commissioner Melvin G. Hazen has done.
But it is difficult if not impossible to tell where the
money is coming from to pay for such program
thing which Commissioner Hazen has not done.
WHY the president of the Board of District Commits
soners should pick this particular time to present
to the White House vast program of Government
building which would add fifteen million dollars
wear to the local budget is not known.
Possibly he has not been informed that the city faces
q sixmillion- dollar deficit next year and that nine
specific proposals for additional local taxes are
now before the House.
Or possibly, he feels that those who are trying to
pile up the tax load on Washingtonians do not have
sufficient arguments in their possession to guarantee
the passage of all the tax laws that have been proposed
and he wants to repair the deficiency.
Commissioner Hazen is reported to have said that
he believed the Federal Government should pay pro-
portonae share of the cost of the huge program which
he took to the White House.
Undoubtedly it should.
It should also pay decent and reasonable share OF
the normal budget of the National Capital
But it doesn't and Commissioner Hazen Is indeed
optimistic if he believes that he get fair Federal
appropriation for his building program when he has
met with absolutely in his efforts to get
fair appropriation to carry out the Federal Govern
ments normal obligation.
No will quarrel with the principle that govern
ments should estimate their needs in advance and plan
wisely for meeting those needs.
But the District knows from bitter experience that
it does little good for local government to be so
forehanded.
Sometime ago five-year building program for the
schools was authorized by Congressional legislation
That program would have made it possible to keep
the schools up to reasonable standard.
But after one Congress approved the plan subse
quent Congress threw it out the window.
Undoubtedly many of the projects which Commits
sioner Hazen submitted to the White House are both
desirable and necessary ahough the people who would
pay for the program have not been privileged to it
in detaD.
Nevertheless their desirabty and necessity does not

There Is No Love Existing

MT. T. H. A. I became very dis agreeable about two months ago, and my girl friend quit me. Will she ever take me back?

 Ans. My chart reveals that you that you would be much better sat- isfied If you were working. Your Mother does not need you around the home-in other words, you are of no help to her whatsoever when you are there, which is very little.

M. o. 8. Will I get my money from the accident which was in approximately six months ago?
 Ans. It k my opinion that you will never receive any money from this party, as he did not own the ear; there is no insurance on same, and his finances are 90 that he cannot give you any money. It seems to me that the best thing for you to do Is to forget this entire affair.

MOUTH CANCERS
 KILL 75 YEARLY
State Officials Urge Irrita- ton Sources Be Recti.
 fled Early

Lip cancer and to Q lesser extent mouth cancer is curable providing it is recognized in time, but these malignant tumors of the buccal cav- ity cause some 76 deaths or about four per cent of the total mortality from cancer in Connecticut each year, the state department of health reported today in its weekly bull letin.
 Buccal cancers, particularly of the tongue, cheek and lip, like cancer of the skin, can be recognized by the patient during early develop ment and are accessible for treat ment. They are both preventable and curable. If treatment is delay ed, however, the disease will ulti- mately extend to involve the glands of the neck and then the outcome is a matter of considerable doubt. The department, therefore, urged Con- necticut citizens to bear two things in mind: CD insist that dentist or physician rectify conditions that may be a source of irritation in the mouth; (2) never neglect Q painless sore which refuses to heal in three weeks or so, for to do so is merely inexcusable stupidity.
 It is reasonably certain, the bul- letin said, that cancer of the mouth only develops in some place that has been subjected to constant abuse, or to some form of irritation. Chronic infiammatory conditions can be set up by jagged tooth or an ill-fltting dental plate. The process is probably accentuated and possibly hastened by an unhygtenic condition of the mouth itself. Pre- vention lies in rectifying predispos- ing causes and no one is in better position to do this than the dentist. Periodic inspection of the mouth and teeth with mutual understanding of the problems involved would do much to prevent incipient cancer. the bulletin declared.
 Prevention of lip cancer also means close scrutiny of seemingly trivial factors of irritation. The lower lip is more susceptible because 1t Is subjected to more abuse than the upper. Chronic pipe smokers should be warned that Q hot pipe stem constantly held in one place is a source of irritation and that if the lip becomes chafed the pipe should be removed to the other side of the mouth. Cancer is apparently more apt to develop on lips that are allowed to become dry and cracked through constant exposure to the sun and wind. Those whose occupa- ton exposes them to the elements should pay particular care that sores and Assures are given an opportl- nifty to heal before the condition be- comes chronic. The most sugges- tive symptom of lip cancer Is Q small, painless sore which refuses to heal in less than three weeks or sore.

Miss T. M. Will I ever get mar ried? If so, when?

 A. P. P. Will I get the advance ment in my present position?

 At the same time, if you have 8 sore throat, crush and dis solve three BAYER tablets in one-third glass of water. And gargle with this mixture twice.
