TAX OFFICE CROWD
HITS RECORD 5000
Dead|ine Throng Biggest in
History Here, Says
Revenue Official.

Nearly 5000 persons, a record
breaking crowd, filed through the Of
fee of Deputy Collector of Internal
Revenue A. P. Rasin yesterday before
the stroke OF midnight brought the
deadline for Federal income tax re-
turns
In the opinion OF veterans who had
been on Government duty for many
years, Mr.. Rasin said, yesterday was
the biggest day in the history of the
local office Of internal, revenue COL
lections.
The line forming in corridors of the
Revenue Building did not rup so long
as it had the day before, but on ac-
count Of Government pay day yester-
day the pressure of crowds kept up
more consistently all day, with the
result that all records were believed
to have been broken.
The IS experts who had been bor-
rowed from the income tax unit re-
turned to their regular work this
morning, and the temporary desks
which had been put in the Railways
and anterooms adjacent to the deputy
collectors Office were being removed
as everything went back to normal.
The last taxpayer TO get in under
the deadline was Marshall Montrose,
adjudicator for the Veterans Admins
tration. He said he heard a radio
broadcast at II pm. saying there was
only one hour left. He rushed through
the job, and paid his bill on time
No estimate was available today as
to how much money was collected.

War Veteran,

The grand jury investigation of the
police Staying March of Leroy Keys,
SO, shell-shocked .colored World War
veteran. was expected to be completed
sometime today. but the conclusions
OF the jurors will not be divulged for
a week, it was announced.
United States Attorney David A..
Pine said there would be no special
report, and that the jury's decision
would be embodied in the next regu-
lar report, probably next Wednesday.
Completion of the investigation came
too late for incorporation in the
grand jurys return today.
Meanwhile Tenth Precinct Police
man John Nally, who, according to
balllstic tests. fired the fatal shots,
is at liberty under $500 bail.
The District Policemen's Association
passed resolution last night promis-
ing full moral and financial support
to Policeman Nally. voting to pay from
its treasury any legal expenses he
might incur in defending himself. 1t.

sociation. composed of members of the
Metropolitan. Park and White House

Two protracted inquests, in both of
which the coroner's jury failed to
agree, preceded the grand jury in
quiry. Keys was slain in his home
at 2470 Ontario road NV. where
he had locked himself in, defied cap
ture and then set the place afire.
Police said they believed this latter
act endangered other persons in the
house.
Twenty-one witnesses appeared be-

the workers hungrier for lunch than
workers in other industries
The visitors went through a cafe
terra in one plant where the employees
may get entire lunches or augment
food they bring from home. The lunch
bags are lined up on shelves at one
end of the room. Approximately II
cents is spent on breakfast and l9
cents on lunch, on the average, it was
said
Although the board members did not
look into the lunch bags. they were
told by one worker that she couldn't
get through the day without lunch
consisting of an apple, two meat and
two jelly sandwiches and a piece of
cake. A colored presser. she said,

Another worker pointed out that the
concrete floors were hard on shoes.
She said she paid $298 for shoes
which can be worn only q month
before they are half-soled. The aver
age life Of the shoes, she said, is three
months
While the women were willing to
answer questions, they continued with
their work, in almo6tsnli&cases totally
unaware that the board which would
determine their future wages was con-
Quoting an investigation.
Although Claude H. woodward. en-
ployer representative on the board,
refused to comment on his impress
sions, he agreed with Mr.. Schoenthal
that the setting of minimum wage
for laundry workers could develop into
difficult problem. He pointed out
that the great difference in the room
and board estimates submitted by
the employers and employees was re-
sponsible for the wide spread between
the two estimates.

good source of protein and of en-
ergy values, but it contains sub
stantial amounts of the minerals,

usually good food source Of vita

Egg yolk contains small
amounts of vitamin D, and when
eaten regularly, the quantity is

vitamin D Requirements z
So important is vitamin D con-
sidered, that the United States
Children's Bureau advises that
cod-liver oil or some other form of
this vitamin be supplied to all
babies, beginning at the age Of
two or three weeks.
Mothers should be guided by the
advice of their physician in de-
termining when to start the use Of
a vitamin D preparation and what
quantities to give. But if they
want to give their babies the bless
ing bestowed on them by the SCI
entists who discovered vitamin d,
they must not overlook this impor-
tant substance.
AS guardians of the health Of
both children and adults, mothers
should see to it that vitamin d
is supplied regularly through the
use of eggs and salmon; irradi-
ated foods and those fortified with
vitamin D; and if necessary, fish
liver oils or concentrates.

fat-butter fat, did not. More re-
search work was necessary before
it was discovered that while but
ter was rich in vitamin A, cod
liver oil contained two vitamins,
one of which was later named
vitamin D.
Effect Of Sunlight
More work was necessary and
it took years of patient effort be-
fore science unraveled the mys-
terry of how sunlight could have
the same apparent effect in pre-
venting ricketts, as cod-liver oil.
Once nutritionists understood
how sunlight acting on a fatty SUBJ
stance in the skin could produce
vitamin D, however, it was not
difficult to carry the process a
step further and learn how to forti-
fly foods with a satisfactory con-
tent of vitamin D.
Today we have at our disposal
irradiated milk, or milk to which a
vitamin D concentrate has been
added. Margarine, too, has been
enriched not only with vitamin D,
but with vitamin A so that this
moderate-priced spread for bread
has been made an effective vita
min carrier.
Natural Food Sources of Vitamin D
The richest natural sources OF
vitamin D are the fish-liver oils,
including the liver-oil of the tuna,
swordfish, rock fish, salmon, hall
but, mackerel, cod and haddock.
The body oils of many fish also
furnish substantial amounts. That
accounts for the fact that canned
salmon has been regarded as such
a splendid food in the diet of chill

Questions Answered

Miss G. M. L.-Yes, it is true
that sweet potatoes contain q
small amount of protein. In fact,
their protein is composed of four
amino acids known to be essential
to nutrition. Some of the protein
may be lost if the potato is boiled,
but it is entirely preserved when
the potato is cooked by dry heat.
Mrs. nj. B.-Both cooked lentils
and baked kidney beans contain
over 20 per cent of carbohydrate.

was not until 1921, however,
that a long series of painstak-

source of vitanin D, and also
why this vitamin is essential

violet light, all can perform the
same service for the body.
Readers of this column may
have observed that the discovery
of a number of the vitamins came
about chiefly through the efforts Of
investigators to discover method
of treating or curing obscure nu-
tritional diseases. In most in
stances, however, carefully con-
trolled laboratory experiments
played their part in reaching the
ultimate goal after some clue had
been found as to what the mystic
rious substance might be that
helped to control battling nutri-
tional disease. The discovery of
vitamin ID was no exception!
Vitamin D and ricketts,
Vitanin D is associated init
mately with the prevention and
cure of ricketts,, the most devastat-
ing nutritional disease of children
in temperate climates. Indeed, it
is the moderate, and in some cases
the small amount of sunshine in
the temperate zone that accounts
partially for the presence of
ricketts,.
Historians have given us reason
to believe that this disease may
have existed in England even be-
fore the Roman conquest. Ger
tainly it appeared in a serious
form, both in England and in other
North European countries, in the
Seventeenth century. In fact, early
literature refers to it as the Eng
fish disease, and the early at
tempts to fathom it's causes were
written in Latin by English and
Dutch doctors during the 1600's.
In ricketts,, the child's head
grows large and out of proportion
to the body, while the leg and
arm bones, and in severe cases
even the ribs, are bent and twisted
out of their normal shape.
Need for Calcium and Phosphorus
The two principal minerals re-
quired for constructing the bones
and teeth are calcium, obtained
chiefly from milk, cheese and
green leafy vegetables, and phos-
phorus, found in generous amounts
in eggs, whole grain cereals and
dried legumes. But one of the
things that made it so difficult for
scientists to determine the cause
of ricketts, was the fact that appar-
emily well fed children, who had
plenty of calcium and phosphorus,
frequently developed the disease.
Mystery Of Cod-Liver Oil
Cod-liver oil had been used for
many years because of its sup
posedly "tonic'' or building"
properties, when it was observed
that regular doses of cod-liver
oil not only cured ricketts, in chill
dren, but also cured the CORE
spending disease in adults, called
osteomalacia, in which the bones
become soft as the calcium and
phosphorus already deposited in
them are withdrawn and excreted.
Fat and vifamin D
One of the strangest paradoxes
to the scientists in their early
investigations was the fact that
while cod-liver oil appeared to cure
ricketts,, another substance high in
