however, that the drug kills the
pneumococci wherever they are found.
When the remarkable effects of prom
tosil against the streptococci were
that 1t worked against pneumococci
also. but experiments have shown that
the effect, at the best, is very feeble.
The discovery of prontosil in Europe
resulted originally from efforts to in
crease the efficacy of certain coal tar
dyes as general antiseptics. 1t was
found that the addition of sulphona-
mide group to the dye molecule made
it considerably less effective as gen.
eral antiseptic, but far more so
against the streptococci. Later expert
ments have demonstrated that the
compound also was effective with the
dye linkage removed.
This finding recalled to Dr. Rosen-
thai certain ambiguous experiments
performed here two years ago. At
that time a certain formaldehyde-
sulphur compound was found to have
quite striking results against the
strain of type l pneumonia which
is used by the Public Health Service
laboratories. Against other strains of
the same type. however, it had no
effect at alias well as against all
other types. This. however led to the
experiments with various sorts Of
sulphonamide compounds when prom
tosil began to be widely discussed.
Drugs Notable Effect.
The only one which had any notable
effect is the drug now being used.
Prontosil had practically none. Un-
treated mice given lethal doses OF
pneumococci died within from lS to
48 hours. OF those treated. none
died until the third to the fifth day
and at the end of a week Is to AZ
per cent were alive. The animals
which had been infected with type
3 pneumonia remained permanently
well. With types ! and 2, many Of
them died within 10 days.
The compound now being used has
a low toxicity. but the dose which
theoretically could be expected to
have a pronounced effect on a hu-
man pneumococcic infection would
be so great that it would be very
close to the line where it might have
serious poisonous effects. 1t is hoped.
however, by repeated experiments with
the molecule OF the substance to pro-
duce something so active against the
pneumococci that its toxic index"
will be something like one to a hun
dred-the therapeutic dose being
about one-hundredth of the possible
poison dose. The essential fact. it was
stressed, is that an effective specific
poison for the dreaded pneumococci
has been demonstrated.

NEW D. c. REVENUE
SOURCES SOUGHT.
Hazen Admits More Income
Is Needed to Meet 1888
Budget.

Acknowledging that the District
will have to collect more taxes to meet
the proposed 1888 budget, Commits
sioner Hazen today announced that
advice will be sought by the Commis-
sioners on new sources of revenue.
He said that within the next few
days Robert v. Fleming, president of
the Riggs National Bank, and Edward
F. Colladay, Washington attorney,
will be called in as the first Of the ad-
visers to tell the Commissioners the
future course to pursue.
I'VE don't know exactly where we
stand" Hazen said. Until we can
learn the attitude Of Congress toward
the Jacobs report and a Federal con-
tribution, we can't tell how much new
taxes we will have to collect"
Hazen also said District offcials real
ize that even with a break" prop
erty owners will have to be called upon
for larger contributions to the ex-
penses of the government.
Hazen was optimistic as to the at
titude of Congress, expressing the be-
lief that the subcommittee handling
the annual appropriation bill will con-
tinue the lump sum process of hav-
ing the Federal Government particle
pate In District expenses.

District Gets $500, 900.

to finance the loan portion of their
projects on bond issues extending over
a long period of years.
District Gets S5,600,0 900.
Although Congress authorized the
District to apply to p w. A. for prof.
ectS amounting to $10.750, 900, the
city thus far has obtained non-Federal
allotments under that law amounting
to only s5,600,000. The 70 per cent
loan portion of that total is $500 900,
and by the end Of this fiscal year the
District will have repaid s2,o00,000 Of
that principal.
In other words. while the other
cities are paying 4 per cent interest
from the start and issuing bonds for
the principal, Washingtonians will
have repaid half of the principal of
their few non-Federal loans by this
June. The bonds issued by the other
municipalities, meanwhile, may run
for Is, 20 or more years. At P. w. A.
headquarters it was stated today the
bond issues may be for the life Of
the project, or up to 80 years.
At the end of three years the Dis
trict also is required by law to begin
paying 4 per cent interest, but, II no
further non-Federsl projects are al
lotted here, this city will have REIN.
bursed Uncle Sam for about three.
fourths of its loan by that time.
Not only did Congress direct the
District to reimburse $l,000,000 a
year, but it stipulated in the special
law applying to the District that the
reimbursement fund be accumulated
by earmarking 10 cents Of the tax
collected upon each 500 of assessed
value of real estate and tangible per.
sonal property, SO that the annual re-
endorsement goes into the Treasury
as rapidly as District taxes are coll
lected, until 81, 1,00O,0 900 is set aside for
the year.
But the story does not stop there.
While the ratio of 70 per cent loan
and 80 per cent grant specified in the
District P. w. A. law applied else
where in the early period of the P. W.
n. pIOel all, O 4hlOlC AA1SAaA AoOAS ~
55 per cent loan and As per cent grant
later was put into effect. About a
year ago P. w. A. announced one allot-
ment in the District of S88,500, repre-
senting As per cent Of the cost of
sewer project. without an accompany
ing loan. However. if any further
projects should be authorized out Of
the s10,750, 900 authorization in the
District law, involving law, the 70-30
ratio laid down in that law would have
to be applied.
In short, Congress, in its dual ca
pacity of national and local Legisla-
ture, has laid down special terms to
govern local non-Federal P. w. A.
projects, of which the waving Of
interest for the first three years is
but one minor feature. P. w. A. can
have the bonds turned over to 1t by
other cities sold through the Recon-
struction Finance Corp. to obtain
funds with which to authorize addi-
tional projects. but in the case of the
District the Federal Government is
getting cash reimbursement at q rate
that will wipe out the loan in four
years as the account now stands.

Beautiful Glacial Gorge
Charmed Indian Hunters

1t was in March, 1851, that a
group of pioneers, organized as the
Mariposa Battalion, followed the
trail of band of Yosemite Indians
into the valley to avenge the deaths
of settlers killed by the Indians in
raids on Savage's trading post near
Mariposa. Early day historians re-
cord that the discovery of the mag
nificent glacial gorge so thrilled
members of the Battalion that they
gave up their Indian hunt and went
back to Mariposa to spread the
news of what they had seen, ac-
cording to a writer in the Los An
giles Times.
They told of sheer walls of gran
lite rising from 5000 to 5000 feet on
either side Of a wide gorge. Roar
ing down from dizzy heights over
the perpendicular cliffs were six of
the most spectacular waterfalls
ever seen by man, one of them the
highest in the world. In the valley
below the MERGED river wound its
swift way through lush meadows
carpeted with wild flowers, and
through groves of majestic pine,
fir, cedar and oak trees.
Ahwahnee, "deep grassy valley"
the Indians called it. A melodious
name expressive of the distant roar
of the falls, the whisper of the wind
