py these respective states if A. c.
Keegin of Hyattsville had anything to

Taking cognizance of the fact there
Is movement afoot to draw up new
tax bill for the District, Mr.. Keegin,
who has ideas of his own, wrote to
Representative Nichols, Democrat, of
Oklahoma, chairman of the tax sub
committee, and suggested, first of all,
that employed couples, earning in eX-
cess Of $4,000, pay special tax. They
can most afford to pay" he said
The same levy would be applied to
those enjoying single bliss and salaries
in excess of $4,000.
Mr.. Keegin, who apparently has
overlooked the marital status law that
Congress was only too glad to repeal,
went into the subject of married work
ers. in detail.
Said he: Under my plan all mar
ried couples would be taxed. whether
they worked in private business Or the
Government, but think the plan
would most affect those working in the
Government. The reason for a special
tax on these people is that 80 times
out of 100, they don't have any chill
dren. therefore, need less money to
live on. As they don't have children,
they are not good productive citizens
and therefore this special tax is, only
Just. II they don't wish to do their
part In raising future citizens they
should pay tax which indirectly will
tighten the burden on those who are
doing their duty"

REJUvENATING DRUG
WARNING ISSUED
Danger of 1ndiscriminate Use Is
Cited by Medical Society
Official.

A warning was issued by the Medi-
cal Society of the District yesterday
against the dangers of indiscriminate
use of the drug testosterone proprion-
ate, reported to have "rejuvenated'
senile men in the experiments at
Johns Hopkins Hospital in Balti-
more.
DIR. H. A. Fowler. chairman Of the
society's Information Committee, is
sued the warning because, he said,
the reports were based oh an apparent
misunderstanding of the exact nature
of the experiments.
The tests reported, he said, were
made not on old and senile men, but
on cases of hypogonadism-subnor-
NAL sexual development in young male
patients.
DR.. Fowler said: Use of this drug
by elderly men, in attempts at re-
juvenation, is very likely to have
extremely harmful results. 1t prob
ably would bring about a condition
which would require a major surgical
operation of very delicate nature.
The drug is highly powerful and ex-
tremely dangerous. It should be used
only after expert medical advice"
Before issuing the warning, DR..
Fowler conferred by telephone with
DR.. Samuel A. Vest, one of the Johns
Hopkins physicians who conducted
the tests.

SEAL TO SHIFT PLAN
OF PREPARING CASES
Extra Assistant to Do Preliminary
Work, So as to Free Others for
Prosecution Details.

Reorganization of the system of pre-
pairing cases for trial at Police Court
was planned yesterday by Corporation
Counsel Elwood H. Seal in anticipa-
ton of final approval by Congress of
items in the District supply bill for
employment of an additional junior
attorney and a clerk-stenographer.
He planned to assign the extra as
sistant to do all the preliminary work
in preparation Of trial cases, so as to
free the others for actual prosecution
work.
With the assistance of the stenog-
rapher, the new junior attorney, he
said, would be assigned to examine all
witnesses, take all statements of evil
dence and hand the prepared evidence
to the assistant counsel in charge of
of trial work.
Mr.. Seal said he believed the change
in plan would serve to speed up prose-
cutions, particularly in the case of jury
trials. The District Appropriation Act,
as it passed the House and in the
form it awaits final Senate action,
provides for these assistants and also
for legislative drafting expert for

Effect Of Machine.
The machine, he said, has caused
instability by throwing people out of
jobs In some cases it has compen-
sated for this by making jobs in other
places. so that one part of the coun-
try has enjoyed luxury while another
was going hungry.
I'VE must understand" Mr.. Coyle
concluded, that no instrument is pow-
erful enough to create a tolerable
adjustment of technology and eco
nomic life except the National Govern
ment. The necessity for a strong Ma
tional Government is the same, under
new conditions, as that which faced
the country In 1887. We know that
If the Constitution had failed Of adop-
ton, and this country had been split
into several smaller nations, the result
would have been disastrous,

will show that to use our Government
