Only Few In County Are
Eligible For Direct Relief

BY W.. F. Bond, Com. Public Welfare
Only a small part of the entire
population of the county Is eligible
10 receive commodities and garments.
These things come under direct re-
lief and are to be given only to those
who would suffer for the necessities
Of life such as food, clothing. or shell
Der. without them.
All those on rural resettlement or
under the heading Of farm security
eannot qualify. Those on WPA who
are in the low group and In need
may qualify. Also any person on
wPA who has been laid off on ac-
count of sickness or other causes
may qualify, provided such person Is
in real need.
Before giving commodities or gar
nents to anyone. the county welfare
agent is supposed to look very care
fully into the needs, taking an ap-
plication in most cases setting forth
m detail the real situation of the
applicant. ALI applicants are sup
posed to be treated alike but the
county welfare agent has to be the
final judge under the rules and regu-
iati0na.
As I understand it the main idea
the Government had in mind in
buying surplus commodities was to
ave the producers from ruin on ac-
count of low prices. OF course, after
the commodities are purchased the
best possible use Is to give them to
people in real want, as a supplement
to what they already have. The
Government is trying to help as many
different families as possible in need.

The fact that the chartered bank
Ing system Is "one Of the most
democratic instisutions in America"
constitutes the greatest national
guarantee against monopoly In bank
ing. Robert v. Fleming, president Of
Riggs National Bank, said in an inter-
national broadcast yesterday.
Mr.. Fleming. as q member Of the
Business Advisory Council of the
Commerce Department, was the guest
speaker IN one Of series of broad
casts on leading American industries.
There now are approximately 5000
banks in America, stock in which is
owned by thousands of people in all
walks Of life" Mr.. Fleming said
There are 226 banks over 100 years
old and 1850 which have been in
existence more than a half century.
1T is an interesting but probably
little known fact" he said, that over
SO per cent Of the bank accounts in
America average less than $4,000
each, while millions of accounts are
less than $500 each"
There are more than 266. 900 men
and women employed in banks in this
country, and more than 80 per cent
Of all bank executives were promoted

Speaker Says.

Elimination OF 5000 item from the
pending District appropriation bill has
created = threat Of blindness for many
babies to be born in the District OF
Columbia next year. according to Ray
Everett, director of the Social Hygiene
Society.
Addressing volunteer campaign
speakers Of the Community Chest at
headquarters of the Instructive Visit
ing Nurse Society Friday night. Mr..
Everett said the item would have pro-
vided medicinal drops for newborn
babies, q treatment required by law
to avert blindness from infection.
ITO save 5000" he said, many
babies born in the District next year
may be doomed to lifelong blindnes."
Deplorable Conditions Described.
Deplorable conditions in many
homes visited by nurses Of the society
were described by Miss Gertrude
Bowling, director. She said babies are
born in shacks with earth floors, are
wrapped in old curtains and are
Graded In orange crates. One home
was so crowded, she declared, that a
baby's death was not discovered by
the mother for "a hours.
The health picture painted by both
Miss Bowling and Mr.. Everett during
the meeting showed a few bright
spots. but many shadows, in the care
Of needy sick.
On the brighter side were such
facts as:
The bedside nursing care given by
the Instructive Visiting Nurse Society
to $4,000 persons last year. Seventy
p1r cent of these could pay nothing
and were cared for by Community
Chest gifts.
The growth of the Instructive Visit
ing Nurse Society from one nurse and
one Offices in 1900 to five Offices and 81
field nurses at the present time.
The extensive educational work car
ried on by both the Instructive Visit
ing Nurse Society and the Social Hy-
giene Society.
Public acceptance of the campaign
against syphilis.
Legislative Program Influenced.
The legislative program of the So
cial Hygiene Society which has been
influential in establishing public health
laws.
On the darker side. the Chest speak
ers learned that:
The total number of public health
nurses in the District-including the
nurses employed by the Health De-
partment as well as those OF the In
structive Visiting Nurse Society-is
l65; whereas, according to minimum
health standards. city the size of
Washington should have 800 such
nurses.
There were over 1000 new cases
of syphilis reported to the Health De-
partment last year. while probably at

ates an impression that Mr.. Harris
seeks first and foremost a novel treat
ment Of themes. and in order to ac-
complish this, deliberately turns his
inspirations to the path of invention,
sacrificing spontaneity and thus
somewhat depriving the work Of its
purpose.
There are moments Of great ef:
fectiveness. such as are the five
cadenzas for the five participating
instruments. The "Fugue" seems to
be less interesting, most Of the music
being confined to the middle register.

which was given its first hearing in
Washington. Written for Clavier al
most two centuries ago, this work
was revived in recent years as a

Schwebsch. and in this arrangement
became a feature at the Salzbura

Bach treats the same theme in

Inc salient point OF the Roth En-.
semble in its performance OF the Art
of the Fugue" is great sorority Of
tone, combined with delicacy and
shading as evidenced especially yes
terday, allowing the composition to
gain in clarity and beauty. On the
whole the division of voices between
four instruments has its advantage
as we'll as disadvantages. In some in
