MORE SEATS
FOR CONCERT

Since 10000 persons turned out
for the first concert of the Ma
tional Symphony at the Water
gate in its summer series, and the
seating capacity was only 10000,
the management intends to in
crease the number of available
seats, it was announced yesterday.
Intensely gratified at the turn
out, Manager C. C. Cappel believes
it feasible to move the barge on
which floats the acouStical shell,
an additional 10 or 20 feet from
shore. This would widen the angle
of vision, and allow for the plac-
ing of additional chairs.
To avoid confusion, Cappel
urged concert-goers to arrive be-
fore the 8 p. m. opening. The
Capital Transit Company will run
special buses to the Watergate. e.
DR.. Hans Kinder will again be
the conductor at tomorrow's con-
cert.

Recommendation for revision of
the tax setup for the Capital will
be made by an advisory commit
tee of 10 WaShingtonianS, includ-
ing five District officials, named
here yesterday.
The committee of 10 will pre-
sent its findings to a tax expert,
who is to begin a study of the
revenue structure here within the
next few weeks.
CHANGES FORECAST
Washington, ward of Congress
and its politics, has been the sub.
ject of tax and fiscal probes in
staggering number in the past,
but authorities in the past few
weeks have hazarded guesSes that
drastic changes may hinge on this,

William H. King, chairman of
the Senate District Committee,

to those chosen the task or honor

REPORT DUE JAN. i
The group will be an advisory
adjunct to the Congressional Joint
Committee on Internal Revenue
Taxation, which is this year un-
dertaking a national tax study. Its
report, incorporating that of the
District tax structure as a single
) part, must be made to Congress
by January !.
Increasing demand for a thor
ough revision of the District tax
structure has been heard during
the past two years-since revenue
measures to increase the Districts
income by approximately five mil
lion dollars annually, were first
promulgated.
BUSINESS LEVY ASSAILED
Most vociferously criticized of
these has been the business priv
lege tax. In the past two years
also the real estate tax has
jumped, and the District has been
given laws for collection of estate
and inheritance taxes.
In covering the entire" tax
field, the committee would be COM
PEELED to consider substitutes for
some of the unpopular taxes now
levied here.

TO CRY AT NIGHT
Lester; Tiniest Of Three
At Birth, Passes 'BiII'
BY LUCIA GmDENs

In three identical cribs in the
upstairs nursery of their red-brick
home, the Knapp triplets received
the press, lurking behind the re-
Quired white gauze shields. The
babies mother and nurse, too,
were muffled in masks. But q
certain amount OF muted CONVEX
satfon filtered out-in revelation
Of a household Unexpectedly
geared to care for three babies in
stead Of one.
OF course, life is somewhat COM
plicated, these days, in the G..
Ernest Knapp's home, where
every task IN the nursery is multi
piled by three.
Nevertheless, in some ways it's
actually simplified-as the
mother Of the only triplets born
in Washington this yea1 will tes-
tify.
NO WALKING AT NIGHT
For instance, no one ever has
tos2"walk" one of the babies at
night-much less all three Of
them! From the start they're be-
ing trained not to expect atten-
tion when they cry. Because
well, just imagine mother cop
ing with such situation, multi
piled by three!
Mrs. Knapp admitted through
the mask that she never had to
wind an alarm clock-even for the
8a. m. bottles. Something which
might be called a three-alarm sig.
nal tunes up in the nursery, just q
few minutes before time for the
feeding.
During this conversation the
babies, now one month and 10 days
old, dozed in unison in the cheer

warned Jim about the danger.
AS Jim lay there on the bed,
with his room filling slowly with
gas fumes, which he could not
smell, he suddenly could almost
feel the starched rasp of his
mothers apron against his hand
as she hurried past him.
She was, or seemed to be, re-
monstrating with Hank, her elder
son. She looked. as she had
always looked in life. as neat as
new pin.
She was searching frantically.
mo use, Mother" Jim sighed
aloud. Hanks gone"
PLEADS WITH EYES
But she would not be satisfied
with that. She would not give up
and go away. She seemed to stand
by the foot of the bed, telling Jim
something with her eyes.
A mans unfocused eyes, sweep
ing a room he knows as well as he
knows his own palm, sees only
what is not there sees only
what is missing from its usual
place. Jin's eyes reached his tall
chiffonier, whose bulk hid the wall
light fixture alongside it.
The wall fixture was not what
was bothering him. He could never
see it from the bed anyway. 1t
was nothing to look at, being an
old-fashioned one combining both
electricity and gas, a relic OF the
old days.
The gas, jim imagined, had long
ago been disconnected. No, it was
the hook on the back of the door
upon which his gaze fastened. Fiji
ten minutes before his coat had
hung there as usual on its hanger.
Now hanger and coat were gone.
Had Hank taken :. No :. on the
floor he could see by craning his
neck his overcoat was lying. It
must have fallen off the hook.
Hank must have brushed against
it.
so TIRED
His coat was only last years,
and it still looked like new because
he took good care Of his colthes.
Letting it lie there on the floor
went against the grain. 1t made
the room look sloppy and tomor-
row the coat would look as if he, d
slept in it. But he was tired -. so
tired.
But like a pesky mosquito buzz
ing the overcoat would not let him
sleep. He felt dimly that his
did not like standing pa
tiently at the foot of the bed,
drawing her lips in, in the Sar-
castle way she had when he was
small and let his clothes drop on
the floor, instead Of hanging them
neatly on the back of a chair.
ooh, all right" He mumbled
peevishly and slung his legs over
the side of the bed. The floor was
in heavy gale, but he reached the
coat. Standing there, his ears
picked up the roar of miniature
Niagara that hissed from the gas
jet. Lucky that he still had
strength enough to reach up and
turn off the jet. He staggered to
the window, throwing it open,
gasping in lungfulls of pure air.
Then he turned to thank his
mother, but she was gone long
ago.

Nap0leon's hair was chestnut fecked

Corsican ancestors was an out -and-out

He has seen locks of the Little Corporal's

George Washington had red hair So did

Thomas Jefferson. Andrew Jackson and Cal

All redheads have strong personalities.
Some have conquered empires. some have
perished on the gallows and some have won
world acclaim in art, science and literature.
Redheads are either much better or much
worse than either blonds or brunets; glori-
GUS successes or rank failures. very seldom
mediocre. Redheads are impulsive intelligent,
aggressive, imaginative, and temperamental
to degree. They are also proud and sensitive.
Sometimes they lack discretion but never
courage.
Redheads are like high speed engines with
tiny balance wheels. Reds will rush into any
battle regardless of the odds against them -
or fall in or out of love with amazing facility.
History teens with titan titans whose ambi-
tons, desires and actions shaped our present
