! This tract of land lies north Of
the * cyst tone and Carswell
operations of the Koppers Coal
company, and is being mined by
an extension of the operations
these two mines, with coal being
removed through the Keystone
and Carswell mines and ship
ped over the N. & w.. railroad.
Newspapers carried the rumor
that the Virginian railway, in
which related companies of the
Koppers Coal company have am
interest. might build an extern
sion of its lines up Pinnacle
Creek to haul coal out of the
tract in question. and that it
might draw coal from the Key
some operation.
Officials of the Koppers Coal
company have emancipation of
such a move, and point to the
unnecessary expense which
would be involved for the de-
velopment of new entries, tipples
and equipment when the present
facilities of the Keystone and
Carswell operations are ade-
Quate and are advantageoslyu
located on the eisting lines of

itrol Of the industry. the produc-
ton dropped to 24,102, 900 tons,
decline of 1878 per cent
Hallanan added:
"Reports of the L. S. Bureau
of Mines furnish convincing and
irrefutable evidence Of the havoc
that has been wrought in West
VirPinia's basic industry by the
substitution of political control
for private management. Xxx
"Instead Of having been stab
lized by government control. as
was so rosily painted by the New
Dealers the industry has been
almost wrecked. Thirty thou
sand miners have been thrown
out Of employment; operators
have been brought TO the verge
of bankruDtcy; freight tonnage
of West VirRinia's railroads has
been seriously curtailcd. and
all business in the coal produc-

Writes Strong Letter to News
Paper Men On News Stories
Containing Unfounded Conclu-
SiOnS.
To the Editor:

10 the Editor.
Recently, several Vets Vir-
ginia newspapers carried stories
concerning the leasing of some
coal lands extending over the
southern boundary of Wyoming
county into Mcdowell county in
the vicinity of Keystone. These
news stories drew several UNI
found conclusions as to the mean
ing of this action.
The writer did not communi-
cate with you concerning this
lease since the filing of papers
was merely the conclusion of an
arrangement which was entered
into by the Koppers Coal COM
pany and the United States Coal
and c k e company on October
2, 1913 and he did not antici-
pate that newspapers would
consider the matter anything
new.
The tract of land consisting of
1920 acres in the Houston field
was placed under option on June
10, 1886. by the Koppers Coal
compay from the United States
Coal and Coke company which
in turn, had leased it from the
Pocahontas Coal and Coke COM
pany. This option was exercised
on October 2, 1886, and the Kop-

BEAUTY HINTS
Nina Temple
How to Use Cream

1t is not every woman who
knows how to use cream. Usual
~ she drinks it and thinks that
its richness will m a Ike her
body sleek and beautiful. Not so.
1t only makes you fat when used
internally. The wise woman
messages her cream over the
skin on the outside of the body.
This feeds t ne tissesu, makes
the skin plant, removes most
wrinkles and PRESERVES youth.
use YOUR cream this way, if you
would retain your youth and
beauty.
Tightening the Whole Body
AS age creeps on, the skin all
over the body becomes flaccid
and hangs loosely from the
bones. Notice aging dancers
who expose their thighs and you
will see how the flesh quivers
and shakes. To correct this, one
begins early to massage the
limbs with an astringent. Bude-
cologne is good and also witch
hazel. After using one of these
rub down with ice or take a
quick cold shower. This treat
ment acts like a tonic on t h e
flesh firming it to marble like
appearance.

The text Of statement by the Med
ical Society of the District of Colum-
bia. issued today in connection with
the suit filed by three physicians in
District Court against Group Health
Association, reads as follows:
"The Medical Society considers it q
duty to the thousands OF citizens whom
Its members serve to make clear its
position In the controversy which has
occupied public attention for the past
few months. In its opinion. grave in
justices have been done the medical
profession Of this community. Strong
prejudices have been aroused on mat
ters which are not generally UNDER
stood by the public. If accusations
made against the Medical Society af-
fected only its members, there would
be no need for concern on the part of
the people. However, they are Of such
a nature as to have very large implica-
tions in the lives of every person in
this country.
Charges have been made that the
Medical Society has for selfish reasons
opposed changes in the method provid-
ing medical care, particularly to those
OF low income who find it difficult to
pay for needed service. Nothing could
be farther from the truth, for the
primary concern Of the Medical
Society has been, and will always be.
the health of the people. II it should
fail in this regard, it would deservedly
forfeit the public confidence, but it
has not failed. No group in this COM
munity has demonstrated adherence
to higher ideals or shown a greater
Willingness to be of public service
regardless of the financial considera-
tions involved Some individuals in
the medical profession. just as in any
other group, have not measured up to
obligations placed upon them, but by
persistent effort the Medical Society
has made possible the high standards
Of medical practice which exist today.
Misconceptions Changed.
"There are many misconceptions in
the public mind about medical ethics,
the impression often being given that
they have been adopted to protect
practitioners. This is not true. Ethics
are rules of conduct governing phy-
sicians in their relations with patients
and for the protection of the latter. If
adherence to these rules were not re-
quired of members by the Medical So
ciety of the District of Columbia and
other ofacial medical organizations,
medical practice would not be on t.
high level it now is. 1t is. Of course.
true that even in this regard there is
opportunity for improvement. but the
goal is the highest set by any pro-
fession in this country.
obviously rules governing profess
sional conduct must be enforced only
by the medical profession itself. This
right to judge its own members Is q
privilege which is common to all Or
ganized groups. 1t has been vested by
physicians in their official organiza-
tions of which the medical society OF
the District Of Columbia is the local
unit.
If a situation arises. such As 1t has
with the Group Health Association.
where the Medical Society feels that
the best interests OF the public are
not being served, it should enjoy the
same privilege granted any other group
of citizens to oppose it. The Medical
Society recognizes that this must be
done in q manner which will not
reflect on the honesty and sincerity

SOCIAL SECURITY
IS DEEPER IN RED
First Three Years Cost U. S.
$1,232,558,598 and Bring
in 1887, ,946,271.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
, The first three years Of the Social
Security Act cost the Federal Treasury
$l,232, ,558,598 and brought in $751;
946.271 of revenue.
Roswell Magill. acting Secretary Of
the Treasury. made public today the
statistics involved in operation of the
law, the third anniversary of which will
be Sunday.
Federal expenditures for the gigan-
tic pension system have included $504,-
204, 1873 for grants to the States, $780,
100000 for investments in the old age
reserve fund and about $3S, ,0O0,0 900 for
= administration of the law.
Revenue fell far behind expenditures
because amounts nearly equal to the
receipts are permanently earmarked
for the old age reserve fund, leaving
the State grants to be financed out of
ordinary Treasury funds.
Share of States.
r The States received $3.50, SOC, ,010 for
old age assistance. $45,819,189 for aid
to dependent children, $11,528, 663 for
blind pensions, $8,538, 1888 for maternal
and child health services, $5,715,952
for aid to crippled children. $2,735. .562
for other child welfare services, $l9,-
275,077 for public health work, includ-
ing venereal disease control, and $780,
001, BAT for administering State unem-
ployment compensation laws.
The controversial old-age reserve
fund-scheduled to reach $47, ,000, ,00O,-
600 in 1980-was valued by the Treas
ury at $1,136, ,463 ,498. but its actual
investments, including reinvestment
j. of interest receipts, amount to only
$700, 100000. The difference is an
appropriation credit for which the
actual cash will not be received by
the fund until the old age taxes in
tended to fill the fund are collected.
Old Age Insurance.
So far. 3S.265 900 employees and
1877, 900 employers have paid in $751;
526,539 of old age insurance taxes.
Legally, these taxes have no connec-
tion with the fund, but actually the
Treasury uses 95 per cent of the
receipts for the fund and the other
S per cent for administration costs OF
the Social Security Board.
The Treasury turns little cash over
to the fund Instead, it borrows back
the money it pays the fund, and puts
into the fund special Treasury obliga-
tions bearing per cent interest. The
Social Security Act requires invest
ment of the fund in per cent Gov
eminent securities, which, in turn, are
added to the Federal debt.
Collections of the Federal unemploy-
ment compensation tax in the three
years amounted to s150,416.831. They
were paid by 1892 employers OF
eight or more persons. (In the District.
one or more) Receipts from this tax
are smaller, because employers can
deduct the amount paid on similar
State taxes up to 80 per cent Of the
Federal tax. r'

believe that Government control of
medical practice. whether it be by Fed
eral, State or local government, Is IN
the best interests Of the people Of this
country. Il believes that the Medical
Society can, in cooperation with
private and public groups, develop
methocs which will assure medical care
to everyone without RECOMMENDATION Of
patients or physicians. To this end it
will gladly consider with Government
omcials the manner In which this may
be accomplished.
More adequate medical care for the
INDECENT in many communities Is
needed. There Is evidence that this
Is true in the District Of Columbia, and
