Shows Benefits Derived
By State Through Lack
Of inheritance Taxes

money spent in the state offset
many times over any possible
revenue that might come from
such taxation"
During the past three years Mr.
Brown has contacted thousands of
prospective homeseekers and tour
lists during the Florida Exhibits
at Chicago, at Rockefeller Center
in New York and at the Cleveland
Exposition, and states that the
strongest inducement this state
has to offer is her present free
dom from Objectionable taxes.
Civic and business leaders feel
that the future of Florida would
be jeopardized by the passage of
an inheritance tax law as much
of the wealth of our state is here
today as a direct result of the adj
vertising of Chambers of Com
merce, the state government, and
our National Exhibits, that as resi-
dents of our state they need have
no fear of such taxation.

EMIL HOLM, DIVER,

DIVING OPERATIONS IN
CUBAN WATERS

Emil Holm, diver on the Wreck
ing Tug Warbler, has been placed
in the Marine hospital for obser-
walton and treatment following
what was supposed to be an at
tack OF Bends"
During diving operations last
week in the waters off the coast
of Cuba, Mr.. Holm was down to
a depth of 120 feet and it was be-
ieved that he arose to the sur.
face too quickly for safety.
He was at once placed over and
allowed to go down to the same
depth and then brought to the sur
face slowly with stops of about
10 minutes at diffeent depths
while ascending, this to relieve his
condition.
However, his condition for the
past several days has shown no
great Improvement, it is said, and
it was deemed advisable for him
to be placed in the hospital for OBJ
servation and treatment.

personnel of the Steamship New

TURIN, Italy, April 3O.-A
warning that the confirmed sports
woman rarely becomes a prolific
mother was sounded recently by
DIR. Nicola Pende, one of Italy's
leading physicians.
His views were given wide
prominence because of their rela-
ton to the fascist "raise-more-
babies" campaign.
DR. Pende asserts the fervent
sportswoman in the first place
handicaps her prospects OF quail
flying for motherhood by impair
ing the charms on which she de-
ponds to attract a mate.
In addition, he declares, she i'm
pairs the physiological phenomena
on which feminine productivity

Pope Plus has solved a delicate
situation in connection with his

Church rules do not permit a

Accordingly the papal repre-

isdiction over the conservation pro-
grams of the cCC corps through
out the country, for an inspection
of the 200 square mile area.
This. combined with the march
of events since the opening of the
present year, is prognosticated as
an indication of a general move

the proposed national park for

within the Park area where he
will be encouraged to act as guide

ASSOCIATION HITS
MEMORIAL SITE
Commercial and Esthetic
Loss Seen if Cherry
Trees Are Lost.

Location of the Thomas jefferson
Memorial on the south side of the
Tidal Basin was vigorously opposed by
the Board of Governors of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Associa-
tion yesterday.
The board contended present plans
for the memorial call for destruc-
ton of much of the Tidal Basin and
the uprooting of the japanese cherry
trees 1t expressed the belief there
are other sites, more appropriate,
which would not necessitate destruc-
ton OF one of Washingtons greatest
natural attractions.
Plans for the memorial would bring
about "a tremendous estheuc and
commercial loss to the city, as it would
be necessary to fill in the present
basin and excavate three other pools, !"
the group said. This procedure would
change the present beauty spot Into
an ugly eyesore throughout the period
OF several years required to change
the terrain" it was contended.
The board reelected Louis Levay as

sociation on the Chamber of Com
