everybody else. Eventually the re-
stricted blood supply may destroy
the function OF the fingers and toes
altogether. What are known as
mummy fingers" result. Gangrene
may set in, making amputation neces-
sary.
Old Surgical Procedure.
The old surgical procedure, Dr.
White said, was to cut out the seq
ments OF the sympathetic nervous
system leading to the hands and
feet. This was fairly successful Is
cure for cold feet, but, Ior some
reason unknown to the surgeons, it
had little effect On the fingers. 1t is
now found, the Boston surgeon said,
that purely by accident the surgeons
were cutting OF from the feet not
only the sympathetic nervous system
impulses, but the adrenalin. They
were failing, however, to limit the
adrenalin supply to the hands, with
the result that the blood vessels In
the fingers remained CONSTRUCTED.
The result now can be achieved by
cutting the sympathetic connections
OF two spinal nerves, leaving un-
touched the ganglia outside the spinal
column which are the "centers" OF
the sympathetic system.

Surgery N0,v Utilized to Cure
Cases of Perpetual Cold Feet
Ne'o Methods in Nerve Treating Are
Reported to Medical Society by
DR.. James C.. White of Boston.

Cases Of perpetual cold feet"-and
cold hands-now can be cured by the
surgeons knife.
New methods in nerve surgery by
which this is accomplished were re-
ported to the scientific assembly Of
the Medical Society Of the District
Of Columbia by DR.. James c. White
Of Boston.
Scientifically the condition is known
as Raynaud's disease. The common
expression that "so-and-so has cold
feet'-meaning he is afraid-has a
basis in fact, Dr. White explained in
an interview following the reading
OF his paper.
When one Is scared or afflicted
with some other intense emotion call
ing for action, two things happen
which are beyond voluntary control.
One is activation of the sympathetic
nervous system which congresses the
blood vessels, speeds up the heart,
causes sweat to pour from the sweat
blands and the eyes to pop out" and
brings about most Of the other symp-
toms commonly associated with fear
or anger. Carrying emotional i'm
pulses from the brain, the function

outside the central nervous system

is to get the body ready to fight or

is to get the body ready to fight or

Adrenal Glands Stimulated.
The other thing that happens Is
that the adrenal glands are stimu-
lated to secrete into the blood stream
an increased amount OF adrenalin,
which mimics in every particular the
action Of the sympathetic nervous
system. The blood vessels in the feet
and hands become compressed, and
this results in coldness Moreover,
the sweating is increased, and the
evaporation increases the coldness.
primarily this kind Of cold feet"
disappears with the passing Of the
fear or anger. But when the SYM
pathetic system is overactive and
there is an overSecretion Of adrena-
lin the condition may become perma-
nent. There is not necessarily any
emotional background to this con-
dition of perpetual "cold feet" DR..
White stressed, but cases out OF 10
are in high-strung young women.
The victims are in a pitiable con-
dtion. Their fingers and toes are

Old animals in established territories
are familiar with every retreat and
are relatively safe from predators.
Young animals, trying to establish
themselves in new territory, are more
vulnerable, and this Is where preda-
ton Is most effective in keeping
numbers down.
The population of breeding ami
mails per unit depends on the size
OF the territories held by individuals.
An area will hold just so many
breeding animals Of species and no
more. The surplus must move on
the unoccupied territory.
Once established, an animal may
remain in the same territory through
out life, although many of them shift
about from time to time"
Whales, dolphins and seals in the
far distant past quit the land to be-
come creatures of the sea. Exactly
The opposite course was followed by
moles, the mouselike little creatures
that spend their lives under ground.
according to study presented before
the mammalogists by Berry Camp
bell OF Western Reserve University.
Studying the shoulder structure
OF the moles, 1t found that it must
have been developed for swimming
since 1t is specifically adapted neither
for walking nor digging. In the
millions of years since the moles
emerged from the water, they have
had to readapt their structure to a

ANNAPOLIS, May 8-Estimates of
the amount the States new relief rev.
enue taxation program will provide
continued to vary today.
Doubts, defenses and debatable
questions arose quickly after the Leg
slature adopted the measure early
yesterday and adjourned its special
session.
Levies imposed by the bill are de-
signed to produce some $5,000,000 a
year for the needy, with State in

or estimated it might yield S2,000,0 600
Senator j. Allan Coad, Democrat, of
St. Marys, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, objected not only
to the income tax, but to the entire
measure, against which he voted.

Animals also have their states"
The curious phenomenon Of terri
toriality among mammals was de-
scribed to the American Society Of
Mammalogists, meeting here today,
by DR.. William H. Burt Of the Uni
versity OF Michigan.
Many Species he said, have the
custom Of setting aside = tract of
country Is home" and defending 1t
vigorously against all comers. This
is most common during the breeding
season, when it Is important that the
helpless young be protected from in
vaders and that there be a suficient
food supply. Squirrels carry the idea
a step further and have permanent
foraging territories.
Said Dr. Burt: THE size OF the
territory varies with the species and
seems to depend on the food and
shelter requirements and ability to
travel. The territory of predator
will naturally be larger than that
Of the prey.
Young animals usually leave the
territory Of the parents by the time
they become mature. In some in
stances the parents drive them out

At the controllers office. it was
pointed out that had the State income
tax been In effect in 1894, it would
have produced $1,000, 900 and not ST.
100000. This was estimated on the
basis Of Federal income tax returns
from Maryland in 1884.
O'Conor said his check up on data
in the Office of the collector Of in
ternal revenue indicated the income
tax should yield 100000. It is ef-
fective in the calendar years 1887 and
1898.
Opinion Of Coad.
Senator Coad said the measure pro-
vided more for relief than the citizens
should have to pay. He said 1T i'm
poses an additional burden over the
amount now being raised for relief to
the extent of $2,000,000."h
This, in my judgment" he added,
cannot be accounted for in any other
way except it be due to the insistent
pressure brought to bear by organized
relief workers"
He said he objected to the income
tax chiefly because of its exemption
clauses, which are the same as in
the Federal tax, $1,000 for single per-
sons and $4,000 for married ones.
"As l see it," he said, incomes for
State tax purposes might far better
have excluded all incomes in the case
of single persons less than $4,000 and
in the case of married persons all
incomes less than $500"
Gov. Harry w. Nice has said he
would act on the bill May l8, either
signing it or vetoing it. 1t was re-
ported he would sign it.

BY the Associated Press.

Chairman Pittman, Democrat, of
Nevada blocked in the Senate today
immediate consideration of a resolu-
ton calling upon William E. Dodd,
American Ambassador to Germany, to
name the millionaire" he said was
ready to support an american die
tatorship."
The resolution, offered by Senator
Nye, Republican, of North Dakota was
referred to the Foreign Relations
Committee at Pittman's request
Nyes resolution would request the
State Department to ask Dodd to cable
the name of the billionaire so that the
Senate could expedite a thorough in
vestigation" Of the charge.
Dodd, in letter to Senator Bulk
ley, Democrat, of Ohio recently made
public. said he was advised an Amer

name, was ready to support an Ameri-
can dictatorship.

The North Dakotan was supported
In his demand for the name by Sen
ator Borah, Republican, of Idaho and
Representative Fish, Republican, New

Regardless of the outcome of his
resolution, Nye said he would ask a
Senate inquiry into all alien sub
versive influences whose scope most
would include this die
tatorShip warning"
f'aa This investigation he explained
- would be an outgrowth of charges
which he made in the Senate Monday
& that Spanish Fascist spy ring" was

--- He sought an initial $25, 900 appro-
priation to finance the inquiry.

Commenting on Dodd's letter. Nye
contended that If the Ambassador
has knowledge of any such movement
toward dictatorship he owes it to

Nye expressed the belief, however,
the warning was occasioned by a
desire to take part in the controversy
over President Roosevelt's court pro-
gram Dodd had referred to the
'oillionare' in letters to two Senators
In support of the court bill.
Nye, a foe of the court measure, said
he saw no inconsistency in criticiZing

he considered Dodd a disgrace to his
country"
Il haven't read Prof Dodd's state

and honor of some of the revolutionary
fathers.
Il do not propose to descend to the
level of reading the outpourings of

Body Is Told.

A thorough investigation of the
milk situation in the District was
demanded last night by the Executive
Board of the Consumers Council and
representatives of other organizations
supporting the Council in its figh.
for a lower retail milk price.
In resolution adopted at meeting
at the Hamilton Hotel, the Council
asked the Commissioners for full in
vestigation, declaring it feared the
present "emergency' price of IA cents
per quart would be made permanent
unless steps were taken.
Several weeks ago B. B. Derrick of
the Maryland Milk Producers Asso-
citation announced that higher feed
prices and increased equipment costs
would preclude a return to the 49,

Price Raised Last Fall.
The price was increased to IA cents
last Fall, when the association, which
includes about 1900 milk producers,
demanded a 4-cents-per-gallon in
crease because of emergency condi-
lions created by Midwest droughts.
Mrs. John Boyle, jr., chairman of
Consumers Council, said today she
has been unable to get any informa-
ton from the producers association

that if the farmers price is kept too
high, there will be increased tempta-
ton on the part of distributors to

side the local milkshed.
Surplus Milk Rise Seen.
He declared that so-called surplus
milk shipped here was Is per cent in
excess OF the local markets demand

the excess was only per cent and
for February and March of 1885 only

William E. Dodd today amplifed
his warning against dangers of Fas.
Clst dictatorship in the United States
disclosed Tuesday, with another
warning against perils which would
follow defeat of President Roosevelt S

In prepared statement the former
University Of Chicago history pro-
fessor cited outstanding failures OF
great presidential plans those OF
Presidents Jefferson, Lincoln, Cleve-
land, Theodore Roosevelt and Wilson
He listed judicial vetoes" among
the causes for such defeats and said
In every case the will of the peo-
pie was defeated" The present sit
uation, he asserted, involved "a SIM
liar and even more important series
OF popular decisions"
His warning of activities looking
toward Fascist rule disclosed no iden-
titles. Yesterday he referred to IAN
American billionaire"; yesterday it
was certain great millionaires."
The Mornings were contained in
a statement explaining the letter the
Ambassador disclosed Tuesday he had
written March l to members OF the
Senate.
There has been no German re-
action to his references to dictator
