was making an approach to the field
for q hnal landing. Coming in toward
the southwest end of the field from an
altitude Of about 1900 feet, was
gliding at about 200 feet when the
head wind and currents were SO strong
I decided to give the plane the gun
in order to keep going.
Just after had opened the throt-
tie, the wind picked up my left wing
and blew me around to the right. plac-
ing me In down wind which. with the
freak air currents, forced the plane
down and I nosed into the ground"

cut and he was treated for minor
bruises and lacerations.
THE plane was mechanically per-

in no way to blame. The accident was
caused by one Of those freaks in air
currents which were beyond any ones
control"

CHILD WELFARE
STABLE PROBLEM
Chicagoan Tells Social Agencies
Group Costs Can Be Mapped
Years Ahead

Child welfare is the only field in
social work that does not change and
hence can be planned for intelligently,
Jacob Kepecs, director of the Jewish
Children's Bureau of Chicago, said
yesterday at a luncheon meeting Of
the Child Welfare Committee of the
Council of Social Agencies.
Speaking at the Y. w. c. A. on E
street, Mr.. Kepecs said that even dur
ing the depression there was little
or no increase in the number of chill
dren requiring care outside of their
homes with foster families.
THE problem is stable as to size.
and therefore the cost of service can
accurately be estimated in advance,
he said.
He has been brought to Washington
to continue studies of child welfare
begun by Miss Dorothy Henry.
An outline of the Henry report was
given by Elwood Street, director of
public welfare. 1t called for a post
of general superintendent of children's
services within the Public Welfare
Board and recommended strongly the
continuance of both the National
Training School for Girls and the Re-
ceiving Home.
Mark Lansburgh spoke briefly of
the steps which led to the formation
OF the Child Welfare Review Advisory
Committee by the Commissioners and
the obtaining of Miss Henry to make
the report.

WARREN APPEALS
FOR TAX REFUND
Realty Investor Says D. c.
Heads Exceed Authority
in Business Levy.

10 V. Morgan, the Districts one
man Board of Tax Appeals, today
took under advisement an appeal for
a refund of $l,784.11 in payments
under the 1897 business privilege tax,
filed late yesterday by Bates Warren,
attorney andsrealty investor, on levies
on several large rental properties.
Through his attorney, William C.
Sullivan, Mr. Warren claimed that
the Commissioners had exceeded their
constitutional authority IN applying
the tax to Office building and apart
ment rentals.
The Tower Building and number
OF apartment houses and other rental
properties were cited in the appeal
Rentals involved were said to total
more than $400, 900. ..----- -.-... -.-----
The petitioner charged that the levy
constituted q grave and unfair dis
elimination on the ground that the
rentals were assigned for the benefit
Of holders of deeds of trust on the
properties, and he argued that Nlnder
the 1897 act (since amendedD the term
business should not be used to in
clude rentals as part of taxable gross
receipts.
Regulations adopted by the Com
missioners under the 1887 act pre-
scribed that the tax be applied to
rentals of such properties in cases in
which light, heat or janitor services
were provided for the tenants.

Jobs HELD VITAL
TO MOST WOMEN
W. P. A. Aide Says They
Work Because They Have
To, in Reply to Biggers.

Another voice was raised in defense
Of the working woman today when
Ellen s. Woodward, assistant Works
Progress administrator. in charge Of
women's and professional projects, de-
clared that women work because they
must support themselves and those
dependent upon them.
Mrs. WoodWard's statement was
prompted by the final report of John
D. Biggers, administrator of the 1887
unemployment census, in which it was
pointed out that the increase in the
number of women gainfully employed
was figuring importantly in the labor
situation. Emphasizing that she agreed
with the conclusions of Earlene White,
president of the National Federation
OF Business and Professional Women S
Clubs, that economic necessity sends
women in search of jobs, Mrs. Wood
ward outlined experiences Of the w.
P. A. in this regard.
All women are certified for work
on the w. P. A. because they are
economic heads of families, she said.
Recalling a study of 1000 women
workers in Philadelphia in October,
1887. Mrs. Woodward said that while
80 per cent were married, husbands
were reported as household members
In only Is per cent of the cases.
Only 2 per cent of the husbands were
in private employment and all these
women were responsible for one to five
additional people in the household.

HEARING DEVICES
RACkETIS CHARGED
Representative Drew Assails the
Sale of Worthless Aids
To File COMPLAINT.

Declaring that "detestable racket
has developed in the sale of hearing
aids to deaf persons" Representative
Ira w. Drew of Philadelphia visited
the Justice Department today for ad-
vice concerning the proper form of
complaint which he said he intends
to file.
The representative. who is an oste-
opathic physician, ssaid he was act
ing on behalf Of many physicians
as we'll as afflicted persons who al
legedly had been swindled through
buying some forms of mechanical de-
vices supposed to help deaf persons
hear better.
Mr.. Drew came to Washington in
the midst of his campaign for re-
election for the purpose of trying to
stop this racket" He is considering
two courses of action. One is to file
a definite complaint supported by afi-
davits with the Justice Department,
and the other to file complaint with
the Post Office Department.
Mr.. Drew pointed out that the
United States Bureau of Standards is
attempting to set up a standard by
which hearing aid devices may be
properly fitted.
1T is the feeling of physicians" he
said, that such devices should not
be fitted by any one who lacks medi-
cal training. The sale of such de-
vices ought to be discontinued until
the sales force is made up of qualified
persons or the device which is sold
be approved by licensed physician.

Federal Works Progress Admins
tration officials will decide Monday
whether Washington's shut-in chill
dren will be given an education
through w. P. A. visiting teachers.
Ross Haworth, assistant admins
traitor for the District w. P. A., said

Federal officials to get the authority
to go ahead and to determine the
extent of the education project
At the same time DR.. Daniel Seek
niger, assistant health officer and
Robert L. Haycock, first assistant su-
perintendent of schools, said they
would be ready to present a complete
picture of the number of children in
need of home education by the middle
of the week.
I'VE are now collecting data to de-
termine the size of the problem" DR..
Seckinger said The data will relate
to all children suffering from handi-
cap that prevents them from attend
ing school,"
1000 Cases Investigated.
The Health Department also is
investigating the cases Of approx
mately 1000 children known to be
crippled. The children will be asked
to attend the crippled children's clinic
at Gallinger Hospital for examina-
tions by orthopedic specialists. DR..
Seckinger said.
Some of these children will require
long periods of disqualification" he
added. "and we are interested in pro-
viding an education for them If possi-
bic. For that reason our work and
that Of the Board of Education must
be co-ordinated"
Although the Social Security Act
providing special funds for the care
of crippled children was passed in
1895, the clinic at Gallinger was not
opened until August of this year.
Care for All Promised.
Dr. Seckinger explained that the
question Of administration had held
up the work. after which there was
another years delay while equipment
and facilities were provided.
We can say now, however" he
promised, that every crippled child in
Washington can have every medical
care"
When the survey undertaken by
health and school officials is completed,
Mr.. Haycock said, it will include
cardiac, crippled and tubercular cases,
blind children who are not boarded
out and children with social diseases.
He could give no estimates of the num-
Der OF children that will be affected
by the visiting teachers project.

BARBER, BEAUTICIAN
DISEASE REVEALED
Extent of Syphilis in Trades
in District Disclosed by
Health Tests.

Compulsory medical examination OF
all practicing District BARRIERS and
cosmetologists has revealed that ~
per cent of the 1,048 BARRIERS and So
per cent of the 1.349 beauticians have
syphilis, according to figures an
nounced by the Health Department.
The department also revealed that
35,599 residents of the District, or
between 5 and per cent of its popu-
lation, are under treatment for the
disease.
DR.. Daniel L. Seckinger, first as
sistant health officer, said roughly 6
per cent of the 1000 expectant moth
ers being given care at the District s
prenatal clinics have the disease. In
this connection he emphasized the
necessity for early treatment If the
District is to make progress in wiping
out congenital syphilis.
Medical examination of BARRIERS and
beauticians was required by the acts
OF the last Congress providing for reg
istration and control of BARRIERS and
cosmetologists. All found to be in
fected with syphilis must submit to
regular treatment and examination of
blood specimens. All newcomers to
the field must have q clean bill of
health before they may be permitted
to practice.
