One Year of Public Health Nursing Service in Nome

June 30 brings to a close one year of full time public health nursing service for the city of Nome. Mrs. Sprenger, Public Health Nurse, states that a large part of her work has been done in the school, tuberculosis con trol, maternity service and Grip pied Children's Service. Vaccin- ations for smallpox and immun- zations for diphtheria have been offered to every infant, pre- school child and school child dur ing the summer and winter of last year. Many parents have taken advantage of this service and it is hoped that even more parents will have their child ren protected against these dis eases in the future.
 The work of the public health nurse is largely health teaching and she has many opportunities to do this whether it be in the home or in organized classes. During the past year Mrs, Spren ger has organized and held meet ings in the following classes:
 First Aid for high school child ren.
 Heath Class for high school girls.
 Two maternity classes for mo- thers.
 Two classes in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick.
 The last meeting for the spring class in Home Hygiene and Care of the Sick was held Thursday evening. At that time a. film des- cribing the preparation and can ming of evaporated milk was shown to the members of the class. The film was loaned by the Territorial Health Department.

Ex-Justice's Right
To Sit in Lower
Court Challenged
High Tribunals Power
Of Assignment Is
Denied in Contest

The right Of a retired member of
the Supreme Court to sit in lower
court stood challenged today In the
high tribunal.
The issue was raised yesterday
when convicted probation violator
contested n Supreme Court the
right Of JusJice Willis Van Devanter,
retired, to sit on the Federal District
bench in New York.
Justice Van Devanter. who retired
from the Supreme Court in June,
1887. presided over a trial in New
York early last year under an as
signment from Chief Justice Hughes.
Under the retirement law of 1897
retired justices Of the Supreme
Court may be designated by the
Chief Justice to sit on inferior Fed
eral courts, either district or circuit.
Congress Authority Placed.
Noble John Moore of New York,
whose probation and suspension of
sentence in another case were re-
voked because of allegedly false tes-
timony in the trial of a mail frauds
case before Justice Van Devanter,
contested the right of the retired
justice to sit.
Congress ITSELF" said his petition,
"has no authority to nominate or ap-
point judges and consequently can
not delegate such power to appoint
ment even to the Supreme Court o1
the Chief Justice. This would be in
direct contravention of the constitu-
tional mandate, which vests the
power exclusively in the Executive.
Acts Declared Void.
"The retirement statute would
seem to give Congress the right to
do indirectly what 1t cannot do di-
rectly. The Hon. Willis Van Devan-
ter after retirement was never re-
invested by nomination and appoint
ment Of the President as Judge of
any court, but merely acted as such
by the designation Of the Chief JUS
tice under the power given to him
by the act. He was, therefore, not
constitutionally acting as a United
States district Judge and all his acts
in this proceeding were and are a
nullity."
Moore appealed from the Second
Federal Circuit Court in New York
which affirmed the revocation of
probation.
When Justice Van Devanter re-
voked the two-year suspended SEN
tence and probation he imposed a
cumulative sentence of seven years
imprisonment and a fine Of $500,
Moore contended.

Calm After Storm
Descends on Income
Tax Collector
5000 Woshinetonions
In Big Rush on Lost
Day Before DeodIine

Like the calm that followed last
nights storm, a pail fell over the
ofiice Of Deputy Collector Of Inter-
nal Revenue this morning, in con-
trast to the big rush there yester-
day, when more than 5000 Washing
tonians filed their income tax re-
turns.
The go experts who had taken
care of the crowds for the past
several days were mostly redistrib-
uted to their respective other Offices
IN the Internal Revenue Bureau.
In spite Of the torrential down.
pour last night number braved the
elements to come in person to the
office in the Revenue Building, and
the total calls for the last day, 1t
was said, was just about the same
as March IS, last year. There was
no estimate Of the total collections.
Last Man to File.
The last taxpayer under the wire
just before midnight was James A.
Thompson Of the 1900 block of K
street NV. He arrived just in
time to file before the deadline at
midnight, when the Office closed.
Many Washingtonians filed their
returns by mail to the collector of
internal revenue at Baltimore, which
is headquarters for this collection
district
Meantime, Treasury Department
officials expected that for the Nation
collections for this month would
fall far below March of 1898. No
figures will be available for several
days. Early this month, however,
estimates placed March returns at
about $425, 100000, as compared with
$723, ,00O, 900 last March.
Reflection of Slump.
The estimated decrease was at
tributed to the business downturn
Of 1888, when sales and profits
dropped considerably below 1887.
Approximately 6,OO0,O 900 persons In
the country joined the scramble to
file returns by last midnight. Those
who failed to make it, without OBJ
tanning an extension of time, will
be subject to fines ranging from
l cent to $1,000. These are assessed
at the rate of one-half of l per cent
for each month or part of month
that the returns are late.
Few persons will go to Jail for
income tax violations, however. This
penalty for avoidance has been re-
served largely for gangsters like AL
Capone, now serving a term in
Federal prison.
Tax Revision Discussed.
The subject of tax revision legisla-
ton was discussed yesterday at a
White House conference attended
by President Roosevelt. Senator
Harrison, Democrat, of Mississippi;
Representative Cooper, Democrat,
of Tennessee; Secretary of the
Treasury Morgenthau and others.
There was no word of the details.
Senator Harrison said:
II want to wait until the income
tax returns are in to find out how
much money there is to raise"
