ut is unnatural for a man to turn
away from his file leader"
These troubles would not be pres
ent under the new rules. Squads
could be of any desired number
II is specified for an ordinary rifle
squad-and there would be only
three men to a .ank when a COM
pany marched in column formation.
Three squad leaders would march
abreast at the headsof each platoon
and the men of each squad would
proceed in the file Immediately be-
hind their leader.
To achieve a platoon front forma-
ton all soldiers would merely turn
or face to the left, the squads then
appearing as three ranks of IL men
each, with the leaders one behind
the other on the right. A right
face" command would restore them
to the column formation.
Under this system, therefore, all
men would perform in the same
manner, the maneuvers could be
taught quickly, and combat training
could be begun at a much earlier
stage in a recruits instruction.
A further advantage of the pro-
posed change is that soldiers trans
ferred from rifle units to weapons
units with carts or motor carriers
would not be forced to learn a new
set of close-order drill rules. Ma
neuvers of the latter units have
been based upon foot troop move
ments.
You're in the Army now" will
remain a grim caution to green
horns, but it appears that they will
have the diligent application called
for directed more toward winning
a battle than mastering footWork
of the dancing school sort.

.S1,695,000 Program
Of Health Department
Being Studied
5-Yeor Development
Plan Given to D. G.
Enqineer OfficioIs

Plans for a flve-year development
program for the District Health De-
partment, estimated to cost $685.
900 in all, as outlined by Col Herbert
B. Hayden, department business
manager, have been referred by the
Commissioners to engineer officials
for study.
The document has been referred
to Capt Patrick H. Tansey, Assistant
Engineer Commissioner, who is
chairman of the Districts Planning
and Project Board.
Unless there is some unexpected
change in the Commissioners pro-
gram, $45O,00O of the sum will not be
needed since this fund was proposed
by Col. Hayden for provision of
new headquarters for the Health De-
partment. The Commissioners have
planned to place the department in
the east building of the new munich
pal center, now under construction.
Col. Hayden said the department
building should be considered the
most imperative need, if the depart
ment were not housed in the new
municipal building.
Discussion of the need of sepa-
rate building for child patients at
Gallinger Hospital was started fol-
lowing an inspection of the hospital
recently by Mrs. Roosevelt. For this
purpose 100000 is suggested. Other
items in the suggested fve-year pro-
gram were:
Provision of 10 additional maternal
and child welfare stations, $125, 600;
construction of three additional
health centers, one in Northeast
Washington and one in Southeast
Washington, each estimated to cost
about 100000, and one in Northwest
Washington, to cost $3.50, 900, and en-
larged kitchen and staff quarters at
Gallinger Hospital, to cost $350,000
in all.

Lee Boulevard
zoning Plea
To Be Heard
Arlington Board
Will Meet on
February q

An application has been filed with
the Arlington County (Va.) Zoning
Board of Appeals to rezone to local
business a tract fronting on Lee
boulevard for 46358 feet, it was
learned today.
The tract, which is now rated
residential "a" is owned by Albert
H. and Katherine G. Cohen, accord
ing to the application.
The site is situated on the Lee
boulevard at the intersection of
Pershing drive. 1t has a depth of
approximately ia feet and contains
.96498 acres.
The Zoning Board of Appeals will
consider this application at its meet
ing on Thursday, February %, at 2
pm, in the courthouse.
One Exception to Rule.
With one exception, the County
Board has refused to rezone prop
erty along Lee boulevard to local
business or lower ratings. The one
exception was the Joseph Mcdonnell
tract at Lee boulevard and Wash
ington boulevard, which was rezoned
last fall. Mr.. Mcdonnell had tri-
angular tract next to the Fort Myer
stables which he claimed was use
less for residential purposes. The
County Board agreed and rezoned
the property, holding that it would
amount to conflscation to not allow
the change as Mr.. Mcdonnell was
required to pay taxes on the land,
but could not put it to residen-
tial use.
Another site across the boulevard
also owned by Mcdonnell was re-
zoned to residential "B" by the
County Board.
1t has been possible for an appli-
cant to request a rezoning to lower
rating and amend the request at
the time the County Board takes
action SO that it is for an inter-
mediate rating.
Other Requests Scheduled.
Other zoning requests scheduled
to come before the meeting are the
following.
Request of Ora NJ Omohundro. to
change from residential "A" to resi-
Dental "B' one lot on the Edwin
Ball estate between North Washing
ton boulevard and Thirteenth street,
North, adjoining North Lincoln
street; request of j. E. Douglas, Co..
to change from residential "A" to
residential b" 18 lots on Glebe
Manor in the 200 and 300 blocks of
South Glebe road; request of Julius
and Bernice Rosen, to change from
residential "a" to local business the
site at 451S Wilson boulevard; re-
quest of Clarice L. Wheeler and Ken
meth M. Livingstone, to change from
residential "A" to residential "B,'
several lots in Colonial Heights.
Following the recommendations of
the Board of Zoning Appeals, the
County Board is scheduled to take
final action at its February 81
meeting.

vious high was 100000 pounds two
years ago. Quality of offerings was
fair to good.
More than 100000 pounds were on
the floors at Tarboro. Offerings were
light but of fair grades.
At mid-mOrning, an estimated
315,000 pounds were on the floors at
Goldsboro and Warehousemen pre-
dicted the largest opening break in
history. Quality of offerings was fair.
Warehouses in Wendell were al
most full, and Sales Supervisor
H. C. Moore, said floors would be
filled to capacity with about $4,000
pounds by nightfall. The quality Of
the weed is good, he said, and far
mers are expecting an 18-cent aver
age 1t will take two days to clear
the floors, he added.
Good quality lugs predominated
on the Washington, N. c., market
where 100000 to 100000 pounds were
piled on the floors of three ware
houses. There, too, farmers were ex-
pecting 18 cents or better. It appear
ed doubtful that the floors would
be cleared tomorrow.
A record poundage of more than
100000 pounds was on the floor at
Williamston as farmers continued to
move in with deliveries. The quality
was rated good, far superior to that
of last season. There was the glow
of optimism as growers eagerly
awaited the opening.

islators who can be sold on some Of
the federation aims rather than TO
back whole-hearted laborites who
either cant be elected or who would
have no real influence after their
election.
Proposition Cd was indicated by
the third-term resolution, and re-
ference of this resolution to the ma
tional federation did not mean there
was the slightest doubt about its pas
sage by the North Carolina group. 1t
would have gone through with
Whoop and a "holler" 1t was a
estate" convention and there were
few direct references to national af-
ed that the federation leaders are
still almost 100 per cent for the Presi-
dent and his program.
(2) Here and there, individuals
could be found who expressed pre-
ference for Cooper, or undying de-
votion to Horton, or Broughton or
Smith or MAXWELL; but by and large
there was an abysmal silence con-
cerning the North Carolina guber-
material race When the ''five COVER
nors" spoke at the banquet they re-
celved just about equal applause
none of it approaching the real ova-
ton given the labor darling of 1886,
Dr. Ralph Mcdonald.
It appears that there is to be no
going off half cooked which might
find Labor committed to support a
candidate who has Chinaman's
chance of being nominated. Quite OBJ
viously, the federation is going "shop
ing" this time and is going to de-
mand an equitable quid pro quo in
return for it's support.
(3) There was talk when Shuo-
ford succeeded Major Fletcher as
Tar Heel labor commissioner that the
federation might not be solidly for
him, come 1910, but would choose
to support one of it's own members.
Maybe it will but, if so no inkling of
such a plan leaked out during the
convention here.
Commissioner Shuford was duly
accepted by the convention and more
or less taken for granted. He was
| not put up on pedestal, nor laud-
ed as greatest of the great or any
thing like that; but there was OBJ
vious respect for his sincerity and
ability It's a good bet that if op-
position ever gets into the field a.
| gainst Shuford it will come from
some quarter other than the fedora
ton.
a The resolution pledging opposi-
! ton to Congressman Graham Bar
! den in the third congressional was
clear evidence of the fighting mood
of the delegates; though general op-
inion is that it was hasty and some
| what ill-advised gesture which is
likely to do Barden more good than
harm in his predominantly agricul-
tural bailiwick.
No doubt if there had been any
period allowed for cooling off, the re-
solution would have gone into COM
mittee pigeon hole, but even so il
truly showed the disposition of the
laborites to stay in there swinging
when their foes are in the ring.
(5). There were plenty of straws
to show the way the legislative wind
of the federation is blowing. The
leaders quite clearly have learned
that it much better to have a repre-
sentative who is "solid" on part
of the AFL program and is able tC
elect somebody who is 100 per cent
for Labor with capital ''L") but
who can't give it anything except
his vote.
