unable to head their opponents

paid for the same grade of work
performed in the Free Public Lib
rary.
During the hearings, DR.. G. F.
Bowerman pointed out that there
was a substantial difference in
salaries because in the public lib
rary the salaries are limited by
the appropriations while in the
schools the librarians get auto
matte raises just like the teachers.
The per diem employees of the
District are also to feel the heavy
hand of the subcommittee. A
legislative provision attached to
the bill orders that the per diem
employees shall only be paid for the
hours they work. They will not
receive money for legal holidays
or the limited leave provisions
under which they now work. This
same section also provides that the
District Commissioners may trans
fer employees from the annual roles
to the per diem roles wherever a
saving can be effected.
Another provision affecting
salaries calls a halt on reallocI-
ton of position at the close of the
current fiscal year. Thereafter
District employees may receive STEP
ups in their grades where the ap-
propriations permit but they can
not have their positions changed
if they make over $4,000 per year.
Other legislative sections pro-
vide:
That the District Commissioners
may let out repair work on con-
tract basis if it can be done cheaper
this way than at the District Re
pair Shop.
That in the completion of the
new police court building, the
commissioners may transfer part
of it's appropriation for custodial
service to maintain the new build
ing.
The control of Gallinger Hos
pital and the tuberculosis hospi-
tails shall be transferred from the
Board of Public Welfare to the
Health Department.
That all auditing, disbursing
and accounting of the funds
handled by the Public Assistance
Division of the Public Welfare
shall be under the District Auditor.
That the gasoline tax fund may
be used in connection with the
program of elimination of grade
crossings.
And that $3.50 900 shall be taken
from the water fund to purchase
Government securities. This move
is planned in order to set up a
reserve for Improvements in the
system.

OF DOG
TAGSLAGGING

ROCKVILLE, Md. March 30.
Although less than two days re-
main of the three months of grace
allowed Montgomery county dog
owners in which to purchase tags
for their canine pets, tags have
been issued for less than one-half
of the approximately 1000 dogs
residing in the county.
Harry M. Williams, county po-
lice court clerk, in making public
this information declared that
after April l persons discovered
harboring a dog without a license
will be liable to prosecution.
During the roundup last year
several hundred county residents
were served with warrants and re-
quired to post collateral of 81 and
costs of $3.50.
Tags may be purchased, Mr..
Williams said, at his office in the
courthouse here, at the county
buildings in Bethesda and Silver
Spring. The fees are 81 for male
dogs, 81 for females and $40 for
kennel licenses, which permit
housing of 25 dogs.

VA. MILK PRICE
RISE IS SEEN

ARLINGTON, Va, March 80.
Reorganization of the Arlington
Alexandria Milk Control Board for
enforcement of the price-fixing
provisions of the Virginia milk law,
held constitutional by the Supreme
Court yesterday, was to go forward
today as 5000 customers in the
area looked forward to paying
from 2 to cents more quart for
milk.
The Arlington-Alexandria Board,
which has been marking time dur
ing the past years litigation of the
milk act, is the Virginia Milk Com
missions local enfo C m n t
agency.
Following the resignation Of
Alan B. ProSise as chairman last
November l, it delayed reorganiza-
tion pending the outcome of the
Supreme Court case. j. w. Man.
nion, secretary, said the board eX-
poets to be notified of the high
courts decision today by Attorney
General A. P. Staples, of Virginia.
Fixed prices of the board, unable
to be enforced during the long
court battles, are 13 cents quart
for milk and 7 cents a pint.
The Highland Farms Dairy,
which, with Luther w. High, of
Washington, carried the milk act
fight to the Supreme Court. has
been retailing milk at 10 cents a
quart at its four cash-and-carry
stores in Arlington and Alexandria.
Several other independent dairies,
including the Hazel Dairy, of Falls
Church, also have been selling milk
below the 13cent regulation.

WHATTO DO FOR
ITCHING
and BURNING

Wash the affected parts with
Resinol Soap and warm water to
soften scales and crusts. Resinol
Soap is suggested because it con-
tains no excess Of free alkall, and
is especially suited to tender skin.
Dry by patting with q soft cloth
do not rub.
Doctors recommend an oily oint-
ment because it penetrates the out
er layers Of the skin more effec-
lively. Resinol Ointment meets this
requirement, and does even more.
For over 40 years it has been-and
still is-successfuIly used to relieve
quickly the itching and burning of
eczema. It contains soothing in
gradients that aid healing.
Use Resinol Ointment today and
enjoy comfort tomorrow. Get jar
also a cake Of Resinol Soap, at an!
drug store. For free sample, writ,

Origin of Oyster Cocktails

THE oyster cocktail is usually as
ISOLATED with expensive dining
rooms and exclusive social gather
ings. Like many members of the
social register, it has come long
way from it's humble beginnings.
Records show that the oyster
cocktail was invented in a shabby
waterfront saloon in San Francisco
about 1866. Its concocter was a
drunken gold miner who had reeled
into town to spend his months
wages.
He appeared at the bar and or
dered stiff whiskey cocktail and
a plate of California raw oysters.
