Measles Cyt|e Makes
Epidemic Due Next Year

If the Districts measles cycle con-
tinues to hold true, Health Officer
George C. Rutland looks for an epi-
demic of the disease in Washington
next year.
Pointing out that the cycle has
brought an epidemic every two or
three years since 1920, DR.. Rutland
yesterday warned parents to be on
the watch for early symptoms of
the disease and to call a physician
Immediately.
According to DR.. C. c. Dauer,
Health Department epidemiologist,
there was a comparatively severe
epidemic in 1884, relatively large
number of cases in 1886 and 1887,
and comparatively small num-
ber in 1885 and 1888. He added that
it is reasonable to assume that the
incidence in 1899 will be at least
greater than in 1888. He said he
felt, however. that there would not
be severe" epidemic next year.
The health officer said the notion
that every child must have measles
sometime or other is absurd"
Early attention and the proper use
of serums will offset the disease and
certainly make it a mild case in the
event of Infection" he declared.

Church Is Thronged
For Funeral Of
James A. Edgerton
Services at All Souls
Commemorate Leaders
Life ond Work

Friends and neighbors thronged
All Souls Unitarian Church, Six
teenth and Harvard streets NV,
yesterday afternoon for services in
commemoration of the life and work
of James Arthur Edgerton, New
Thought leader, Prohibition-Labor
candidate for Vice President of the
United States, journalist, author and
business executive.
The rites began with the recital
of the Unitarian invocation for the
dead by the Rev. Dr. Ulysses G. B.
Pierce, minister of All Souls, spoken
as the funeral procession entered the
church.
After the congregation had joined
in the Lords Prayer, DR.. Pierce read
Scripture verses concerning the i'm
mortality of the spirit, and Miss
Fleurette Joffrie sang 20 Love That
Will Not Let Me Co."
DIR. Fox Is Eul0gist.
Then DR.. Pierce, explaining that
che being dead yet speaketh," quoted
from one of Mr.. Edgertons poems,
entitled: IF I Could Sing the Song
Within My Heart"
DR.. Emmet Fox, minister of the
Church of the Healing Christ, New
York, was the eulogist. Because
God is love-" he said, there is no
death. Our friend passes from our
sight for the moment, but we shall
meet him again. He was man who
lived not for himself, but for the
help and enlightenment of others
If he fought for unpopular causes
that was sincere service indeed. He
believed in the fatherhood of God
the brotherhood of man and the
essential unity of God and man; and
for this faith he lived and worked
There are many people who are
better for his labors; he left the
world a great deal better than he
found it. New Thought, as he
taught it, centers in the idea Of the
love of God and the power of prayer
His writings and his teaching con-
tradicted death. Love never dies
and he would wish me to tell you
that on this occasion"
Lodge Pays Respect.
Before the benediction members of
La Fayette Lodge, No. 19, F.. A. A. M.
paid their respects to Mr. Edgerton's S
memory, filing past his casket as it
lay, covered with roses and sur
rounded by wealth of other flowers,
before the pulpit.
Honorary pallbearers were: Sec
retary of Commerce Daniel c. Roper,
former Third Assistant Postmaster
Robert S. Regar, former Representa-
tive w. D. Jameson, Huston Thomp-
son. former special assistant to the
Attorney General; Elmer E. Rogers,
special aide to the grand commander
OF the Scottish Rite; Benjamin M,
McKelway, managing editor of The
Star, Strickland Gillian, DR.. Will

and Harry Gaze.
Interment was at Cedar Hill Gem

Sales Tax Is Backed
By North Cleveland
Park Citizens
Privilege Levy and
Putmon Measure
Disopproved

The North Cleveland Park Citi-
zens' Association last night ex-
pressed approval of District sales
tax and disapproved the business
privilege tax and the. Patman chain
store tax bill
Joseph S. Stern, in advocating
that the group reiterate its approval
of a sales tax, declared: II think
the sales tax plan is the most equita-
BILE one possible" Mr.. Stern fur
ther stated the plan has worked so
we'll in West Virginia that the buy
ing public is hardly aware of the
imposition of such tax. F.. l..
Barkley declared that the District
must either have sales tax or the
business privilege tax, and the for
mer Is more acceptable.
Opposing the business privilege
tax, M. E. Roberts said it is the
most unjust tax ever levied upon
citizens of Washington. He declared
a business may lose money and still
be required to pay large tax.
A resolution was adopted instruct
ing the delegates to the Federation
of Citizens Associations to vote for
the sales tax and against the busi-
ness privilege tax.
The question of an intangible tax
and a general income tax was re-
| ferred to the Committee on Taxa
ton reconsideration and discussion
at later date.
Voicing opposition to the Patman
bill, j. B. Dickman, jr., president
of the association, said the chain
store system is advantageous to the
consumers. He added that the form
of tax imposed by the bill gives rise
to business class discrimination. 1t
is obvious, Mr.. Dickman continued,
that the ultimate end of this tax
will be the breaking up of the chains
rather than the raising of revenue
Robert l.. Risdon said imposition
of such tax would force the chain
stores to either close many of their
stores or lease them to the man
ayers, both of which would work
to the consumers disadvantage
Mr.. RiSdon said leasing of stores
would necessitate raise in prices,
and their closing would inconven-
ience the public.
A communication will be ad-
dressed to the Capital Transit Co.
requesting that the bus which now
stops at Wisconsin avenue and Reno
road be stopped at Wisconsin avenue
and Van Ness street. as passengers
now alight in the path of traffic
ThS company is further requested
to have the bus marked Twentieth
and Constitution avenue go to this
point instead of stopping at Eigh-
teenth street.
Upon the resignation of H. P.
Locke as delegate to the federation,
the members voted unanimously in
favor Of the appointment of Mr..
Dickman to fill the vacancy.
The association was informed that
a letter had been received notify
ing the association that President
Roosevelt would be pleased by the
interest of the group in the ap-
pointment of a new District COM
missioner. The citizens are advo-
eating the appointment of j. B.
Dickmam
John B. Burgess was elected a
member OF the association.

And the best thing about it all is

been added as an afterthought, but,
aside from reduced cost and much
greater fiexibility in planning in

longevity of what has been built will
be increased. Thus existing money
