New Drug
MetrGzOL GiUen For

Injection of a new drug called
metrazol as a treatment for
dementia praecox has been started
at st. Elizabeth's Hospital, says
DR.. Winfred OverholSer, superin-
tendent of the institution.
Describing the effect of metra-
zcl as similar to insulin treatment
in that both induce shock, DR..
Overholser said it was still too
early to determine the real
worth of the new therapy on the
II patients to whom it has been
administered.
The drug is a synthetic com.
pound invented by the Hungarian
scientist Medina. Psychiatrists
are hopeful it may provide a cure
for dementia praecox.

D,C,PLAYGROUND
TRANSFER hit.

Sybil Baker, department super
visor, warned today proposed
transfer of school Fairgrounds to
the Community Center Depart
ment, coupled with a reduced
appropriation, may make super
vised recreation unavailable for
almost two-thirds of the children
who used the Fairgrounds la st
year.
Miss Baker said the play
grounds had an attendance of $780,
900 in 1887 and the average cost
of each child's visit was 3 cents.
She quoted Mrs. elizabeth K. Pee
pies, director of the Community
Center Department, as authority
for an estimate of z cents as the
cost per visit to Fairgrounds un'
der Community Center control.
$4,000 MAXIMUM
Using these averages and as
suming Representative Ross Col
Inns CD, of Mississippi, succeeds
in cutting the appropriation from
$29, 700 to $4,000 in effecting the
transfer, Miss Baker calculated
the maximum attendance which
can be cared for would be $4,000.
Suggestions have been made,
she said, that nominal admission
fees be charged the children as
a means of financing the pro
gram.
Wages account for the major
portion of the differential in play
ground costs, Miss Baker eX-
planned. Whereas the Playground
Department pays assistants an
average of $3.50 for a seven hour
day, she said, Community Center
supervisors get rs cents to 81 an
hour for sessions varying from
two to four hours.
81 AREAS AFFECTED
Miss Baker said there are 81
Fairgrounds on school property
which would be affected by the
transfer proposal. Under recrea-
ton system contemplated jointly
by several groups, there would be
104 additional "park-playground"
areas with jurisdiction in the Ma
tional Parks offices and operation
in the Playground Department.
Cooperating in this venture are
the Board of Education. the Pub
lie Library trustees. the National
Capital Parks, the Park and Plan
ming Commission and the War De-
partment as well as the Com
munity Center and the Play
ground Department.

SCHOOLS BATTLE
SLASH IN FUNDSI
FOR VA. BUDGET
) Way Sought to Meet
Old Age Pensions
BY GEORGE M. GREEN

RICHMOND, Va, Jan. 81.
Swinging into the fourth week OF
their 60-day session, members OF
the Virginia General Assembly to-
day prepared themselves for a
series of committee hearings
which will involve some of the
most important legislation intro.
duced to date.
First of these hearings will be
this afternoon when the States
$164,000,000 budget is discussed.
Representatives of the State Poul-
try Federation, the Virginia
School for the Deaf and Blind,
the Division of Markets and the
Southwestern State Hospitals will
be heard.
SCHOOLS PROTEST CUTS
Heads of several of the States
largest educational institutions
called upon Governor James H,
Price during the weekend to
urge that their respective schools
appropriations not be cut to
make way for other legislation.
Hearings on the budget are ex.
pected to be concluded Thursday
or Friday and the measure will
then be taken up in executive ses-
sion.
To be considered with the budg.
ct bill, and with no provisions yet
made for financing, is the pro.
posed old-age assistance bill which
will require at least 81, 400, 900, &C
Cording to the latest estimates.
A hearing on this bill will be
held Thursday at joint session
Of the Senate Finance Committee
and the House Appropriations
Committee.
TAX PLANS SUGGESTED
Several bills, including a 2 per
cent sales tax, higher taxes on
beer, and others designed for rev.
enues have been introduced as a
means of raising this money.
Although it has not yet been in
troduced, the latest bill proposed
as a means to aid the aged is one
that would tax all hard liquor
sold in the States stores. This
bill, which he said he would offer
soon, is proposed by Delegate Lu.
clan L. Schrader, Of Amherst. Pro-
visions would tax pint of WhiS-
key Is cents, a quart Is cents, and
the gallon ST..
In announcing his plan to offer
this bill, Delegate Schrader said
that he was opposed to the beer
tax bill which would Jump the tax
from one to two cents a bottle.
EUGENICS DISPUTE LOOMS
Another measure, which is sure
to result in Statewide controversy,
will be given a hearing tomorrow
night when the House general laws
committee takes up the proposal
to require applicants for marriage
to present certificates showing
them free of venereal diseases.
The plan would require that
certificates be presented to the
clerk of the court from whom the
marriage license is obtained, and
that the clinical and laboratory
tests be made at least is days be-
fore.
An executive session of the
House General Laws Committee
will be held today to consider the
eight-hour working bill for women.
