NATION BACKS.
CONGRESS FIGHT
TO SAVE TREES

With the work Of destroying
them temporarily halted because
of weather conditions, the cherry
trees to be moved from the Tidal
Basin to make room for the JEFF
ferson Memorial were scheduled
today to be the cause of long
fight in the next Congress.
Armed with hundreds of tele-
grams from all parts of the coun-
try, the $50 local women who have
formed committee to combat re-
moval of the trees, expect to find
support for their fight when
legislators gather here early in
January.
Mrs. Ernest H. Daniel, president
of the Federation of Women's
Clubs and a leader in the battle to
save the blooms, declared today
mail is pouring in in larger
amounts every day." She expects
the nationwide outcry to have
great influence with the next Con-
greSS.
Meanwhile, the District Commits
sioners have refused to grant an
injunction against removal of the
trees, on the ground they have no
Jurisdiction. Work on the Tidal
Basin project has ceased for a
time to permit the laborers to help
battle snow and ice on District
streets.

There was a day not so long
ago when the aroma from the
charcoal burners reminded the
passers-by in Washington that the
woods were crisp and colorful and
a man could go for a walk and
come home with sack of chest
nuts and his fingers smarting
from the sting of their burrs.
And the woods were filled with
boys skylarking and gathering the
nuts, leisurely, because the chest
nut trees were everywhere and
there was no need to hurry.
DIFFERENT NOW
Now the chestnut trees are all
gone and only gaunt and whiten-
ing skeletons stand now in the
woods where the ground used to
be covered with burrs.

Also Will Be
Considered

Drafting of a new legislative
program for the District of Column

taxation and a reorganization Of
the District Government, will be
inaugurated Monday by the Board
of Commissioners.
At 10 a. m. it will meet to
formulate initial plans for recon-.
mendations to the next Congress.
scheduled to convene in a little
more than month. Several SeS-
sions may be required before q
final report to Capitol Hill IL
made.
TAX CHANGES
On the docket for discussion is
a proposal for a change in the
local tax structure. Charged by
the last Congress with studying
the problem and making suggeS-
tions for new revenue program
is the Citizens Advisory Commit
tee on Taxation, appointed to CO.
operate with the Joint Congress
sion Committee on Internal
Revenue Legislation.
The Commissioners are expected
to debate the tax proposals, but
devote most of their time to the
congressional demand that they
prepare plan for reorganizing
the local government.
Principal proponent Of the
measure is Representative Am
brose j. Kennedy CD of Mary
land, ranking Democratic member
of the House District Committee
and possibly its next chairman.
CIVIL SERVICE UP
Also on the agenda is a plan
for separate civil-service system
for the District of Columbia.
Assisting the Commissioners in
their deliberations will be Cor
poration Counsel Elwood Seal.
Meanwhile, opinion at the Dis
trict Building was that the $780,.
600 earmarked for relief here for
the remainder of the current fiS-
cal year will not be increased.
Although the 1889 appropriation
has been deemed inadequate" by
Public Welfare Director Elwood
Street, it is believed that the
formal report of the Lewis COM
mittee, probing local relief, will
recommend funds be maintained
at their existing level.
HEARINGS SOON
The report is due to be made
public after Congress conveneS
and may prevent further appro-
priations desired by the Board Of
Public Welfare, it was indicated.
In the meantime, members Of
the Lewis group will be asked to
substantiate their views on the
question when hearings on the
District budget are begun by the
House subcommittee on District
appropriations begin early in De
cember.

MD VERDICT ON.
SEWER PROGRAM
River Cleansing Plan
Would Cost Million ,

A $1,000,O00 program to elimi-
nate pollution in the AnacoStia
River by linking sewer pipes in
Montgomery and Prince Georges
counties with the Districts
sewage-disposal system, the cost to
be borne by Maryland, today
awaited the approval of the Wash
ington Suburban Sanitary Com
mission.
Doubts were expressed, how
ever, that the project would be
approved by the Maryland agency
because of the proposal for full
financial responsibility.
Commissioner Melvin C. Hazen
has disclosed that a special engi-
neering study revealed that the
81 900, 900 would be necessary, and
that local authorities have advised
the Maryland people.
DECISION EXPECTED
Officials of the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
are expected to notify the Com
missioners shortly concerning
their decision.
Approximately 100000 of the
one million dollars would have
to be spent on work in the Dis
trict and the remaining money
for construction of connecting
sewers in Maryland.
Commissioner Hazen stated that
existing sewers in Washington
are not large enough to carry the
additional load from Maryland,
and explained that for this rea-
son, it would be necessary for
Maryland to bear the cost.
ALTERNATE PLAN
In addition to the cost of in
Stallation of the sewer lines to
the main disposal plant, it was
explained, the Maryland communi-
ties would be taxed approximately
Sill 900 annually as their share for
treatment of sewage.
The alternative proposal which
has been discussed provides for
Maryland's construction of q sep
arate treatment plant at BladenS.
burg. It is understood. however,
that the sanitary commission op
poses this idea because it would be
located in a projected park area.

MONTGOMERY COUNTY SENTINEL

The other puppies did not thrive, but
remained weak, and could scarcely
walk at the end of a month, when
four died from excessive feebleness;
and the sixth was killed two weeks
later. The mother in the meantime
had become very lean but was toler-
ably lively and had a fair appetite.
She was killed one hundred and
twenty-six days after the beginning
Of the experiment, and it was then
found that the bones of her spine and
pelvis were softened, - a condition
known to physicians as osteomalacia.
The results Of this experiment are
highly interesting and instructive,
showing clearly as they do that the
nursing mother sends out to her
young, in her milk, part of her
store of lime, which is absolutely es-
sential to their welfare. They show
also that if proper food is denied her,
when in whelp and when nursing, not
only her puppies but she as well
must suffer greatly in consequence.
And in the light of these facts is un-
covered one of the most potential
causes Of ricketts, so common among
large breeds.
1t may therefore be accepted that

ticed was due to an infection of the
uterus. Some discharge is necessary,
after whelping, but should this con-
tnue too long and be of light red
color, the bitch should be douched
twice day with a solution of. one
tablespoon of salt to a quart of luke
warm water, and if not corrected in
two or three days, consult your vet
erinarian.
To greatly diminish the chances of
acid milk, have found it beneficial to
mix teaspoon of calcium phosphate
IN her food once a day, before whelp-
ing. This is tasteless, odorless white
powder and tends to build bone.
A well-known German physician
selected a medium sized, strong,
healthy bitch, and after she had been
mated, he fed her on chapped horse
meat from which the salts were to
large extent extracted by boiling for
two hours in distilled water. In addi-
ton to this she was given each day a
certain quantity of fried fat. AS drink
she had only distilled water. She gave
birth to six healthy puppies, one of
which was killed Immediately, and its
bones found to be strong and we'll
built and free from abnormalities.

DOGGIE DOINGS
BY M. D. DENLINGER
(Continued from last week.
CARE OF THE NEWBORN

In three cases where puppies were
cropping off quickly on the third day,
he took from free-milking mothers,
nuupies of about the same age as
those dieing and put them to the sus-
pected breasts, and kept them there
until the weaving, which they reached
in good condition; while in two other
cases he was fortunate enough to be
able to try the same experiment on
the second day with the same results.
And in this way he narrowed the
poisons down to the first day.
The Dog Hotel, Olney, Md, never
sends out a Foster Mother until her
pups are at least three days old, and
the milk has proved itself wholesome.
Should the fosters own puppies die
within three days, she is discarded.
To quote DR.. j. s. Turner, F. L. S.,
London, England:
An abnormal condition of the milk
that is responsible for not few
deaths among puppies is excessive
acidity. Now the milk of the healthy
dam is either slightly alkaline or else
neutral, and a slight acidity is not
appreciate to the eye, but when this
reaction is a decided one the milk is
thicker than usual or distinctly
curdled., and gives rise to collie and
diarrhea, which are speedily fatal un-
less prompt relief is afforded.
It has been the writers experience
that when these conditions occur the
pups will all die, before the mothers
milk can be corrected. The only hope
to save the remaining puppies is to
remove them Immediately from the
mother and to try and keep them
alive on artificial feeding until fos-.
ter mother can be secured. In the
meantime, / have found it beneficial
to the mother to give a tea spoon of
baking soda, dry, about every two
hours and if possible transfer some
older pups of less value on her to
draw off the milk. AS rule older
pups can stand the acid milk for a
couple of days, by which time it will
probably have cleared up. Another
cause of poison milk that l have no
