$63,14s RAISED
FOR SYMPHONY

With the campaign deadline II
days away, the committee conduct
ing the drive for the National
Symphony Orchestra's sustaining
fund received reported pledges
totaling $63,149.25, or 61.31 per
cent Of the $103,O0O required, at
the drive luncheon yesterday in
the Carlton Hotel.
Although workers have con-
tacted only 40 per cent of the
possible donors listed by the COM
mittee, several of campaign sub
committees have exceeded their
quotas. The Orchestra Guild re-
ported 120:61 per cent, the Navy,
1O1.1O per cent; the Army, 72.49
per cent; Special Gifts, 1929 per
cent; Government, 40.72 per cent;
Business Women, 40.1O per cent;
Business Men, 22.06 per cent OF
their allotted amounts.
Sums pledged total $4,000 less
than the guarantee of the season
now closing, and still lack $4,000
of the sum required. The workers
were told that if this amount has
not been collected by March IS,
all contributions will be returned
to the donors and the National
Symphony Orchestra will cease to
function at the close of the present
season next month.

First Trip Recalled

7 REMEMBER so well, when first came here-a
= fat, ugly little girl with pgtais; the heat then
was terrific and, as I remember, there was but
one hotel-the Poinciana, and used to so envy
the lovely ladies with their long trains When
I was put to bed at o'clock it almost broke
my heart. My great treat was being taken over
to have tea with that wonderful old man, Mr..
Flagler who was great friend of my fathers;
he was so kind to me and used to treat me as
if I were grown-up lady, which tickled me to
death. In those days Palm Beach was practically
a wilderness, and our great excitement in the
afternoon was to get in a wheel chair and ride
through the jungle. Now it is really city
million-dollar homes and costly cars.
But man has not been able to change the
beauty of the Palm Beach trees and the lovely
ocean. It's a curious thing, when you think
about it, how in the end nature generally has
her way if given half a chance and creates
far greater beauty than man can even imagine.
It makes me think Of that wonderful poem:
" -. Poems are made by fools like me, but only
God can make tree"

help me over one of the hardest periods of my
life-Mary Brown Warburton, woman with
heart of gold loyal friend and one of the sweet
est women that ever lived; May and Jay Carlisle,
she with her gayety and gallant spirit, and Jay
with his answering friendship and loyalty that
you could always count on: then there was that

EXPERT ADVICE
ON D. c. INCOME
TAX BILL ASKED
Committee to Hear
Group Monday
BY JULIA A. BONWIT

Expert advice for the drafting
of an income tax bill for the
District has been sought by the
House District fiscal affairs sub
committee, it was announced to-
day by Representative Jack Nich-
OILS CD of Oklahoma, subcommit-
tee chairman.
The Joint Congressional Com
mittee on Taxation, a group Of
experts called on by House and
Senate for tax advice, will ap-
pear before the subcommittee on
Monday.
Mr.. Nichols said he has called
in the tax group to aid the sub
committee in redrafting a more
equitable and more workable in
come tax.
BILL "UNWORKABLE"
He described as unavoidable"
the bill proposed by the Citizens
Committee on Fair Taxation.
which submitted an income tax
draft at the suggestion of the
subcommittee after its representa-.
tives had recommended that Dis
trict residents pay to the District
a fractional rate of the amount
paid in Federal income taxes.
There are many difficulties
inherent in their BILL" he said,
(which we hope to iron out with
the expert tax committee"
Mr.. Nichols and other members
Of the subcommittee have an
nounced their approval of the
principle of deducting a fraction
Of Federal income tax for local
tax purposes. The citizens com.
mittee recommended a one.sixth
deduction.
The problems of the fiscal af-
fairs subcommittee were increased
when the Senate Appropriations
Committee reported a $48,156,328
budget to the Senate yesterday,
carrying a deficit of $4,70O,000.
PLANS UPSET
Heretofore, the subcommittee
has been proceeding on the posi-.
bility of a deficit of approximately
100000. With this in mind, It's
members were contemplating a
small income tax and hike in
the real estate tax.
It already has been virtually de-
cided that the business privilege
tax, because of unanimous opposi.
ton to it, should be stricken from
the bill.
In addition, the subcommittee
plans to levy a tax of probably So
a barrel on beer.

HEALTH STUDY
ACTION BARRED
BY FUND LACK
Hazen Lauds Work
of U. S. Experts

Commissioner Melvin C.. HAGEN
expressed himself today as well
satisfied" with the good job" done
by Surgeon General Thomas Par
ran, of the United States Public
Health Service, in recommending
improvements in the Districts
health service, but said he was
afraid" little could be done this
year to put the recommendations
into effect.
Parran, assisted by DR.. Robert
Olesen, suggested ten specific
objectives which he said should be
accomplished within a six.year
period to put Washington in the
"first Is per cent" Of the country's
cities in health standards.
COST IS BARRIER
Hazen said DR.. Olesen estimated
from $2,5OO,O00 to $3,Oo0,00O
would be required to provide $50
new beds for tubercular patients
and the reopening of the. old
tuberculosis hospital on Upshur
Street as recommended by DR..
Parran. He said he was not
advised as to how much money
would be required to make effective
the other points of the Parran
program but assumed" a Sub
stantial" fund in addition would
have to be placed at the Districts
disposal before Washington could
take it's place as model Of health
administration"
Any decision on the Parran pro-
posals, Hazen said, must await
the return of Commissioner George
Allen, now on vacation. within
whose jurisdiction the matter
rests.
FUND UNAVAILABLE
Hazen said there was mo real
possibility" funds adequate to
carry out Parran's proposals will
be made available this year. He
pointed out the District budget
already has passed the House and
lis pending before the Senate
factors which doubtless preclude"
action at the current congers-
sional session. He promised, how.
ever, the Parran program will
come up for consideration this
summer when the Commissioners
sketch their budgetary require
Iments for 1910.
TUBERCULOSIS STRESSED
In submitting his recommends
tions, Parran emphasized tuber-
culosis as peculiarly a Washing
ton problem" must headline the
health program. He made clear,
however, child health, pneumonia,
venereal disease, dental hygiene
and maternity care were outStand-
ing on the list of subjects.
