acreage.
Norway also has a national
farm organization. At meeting
of $4,000 Norwegian farmers he
attended the topic of the speech
was Equality for Agriculture"
which reminded him of the slogan
of American farm organizations.
In Sweden 80 per cent of the
farmers are members of the ma
tionaI organization and everyone
has living wage. The head of the
export-import corporations of the
country made the statement that
while they had in the past pur-
chased much American wheat,
they don't do so at present be-
cause the United States doesn't
seem interested in selling it."
Of Denmark Jones said that the
folk schools saved the country's
agriculture, which in turn saved
the nation. There 90 per cent of
farmers belong to their farm or
carnations. Men and women who
farm attend folk schools to learn
the business and practice of ag-
riculture and believe in organiza-
ton as way of life. Danish ag-
ric1lture is very efficient. he said.
There will be wars in Europe in
the future Jones believes as the
people have the wrong philosophy
of military achievement. Young
people talk war at breakfast. din
ner and supper, he observed.
In his talk on legislation, Re-
preventative John Zwach said that
the outstanding achievement of
the Farm Bureau was the passing
of the state income tax law which
was instrumental in the distribu-
ton last year of $13,000,000 to
schools.
Otto Flom described the activi-
ties of the discussion group in
considering questions of local and
national interest.
Wesley Slaymaker, who was
delegate to a national youth meet
ing at Chicago, spoke of his &C
tivities as a leader at the meeting
and the Farm Management Ser
vice was described briefly by Mr..
Poulsen.

the District.
l4-An item Of $25o, 900 for Install
lation Of water main from Fourth
street and Florida avenue NE. to
the vicinity OF Kentucky avenue and
East Capitol street.
The Senate subcommittee also
made number Of other changes in
the House bill, some of them rela-
lively minor. Among the more i'm
portant, however, is q provision that
would allow Lewis r. Barrett to
remain as co-ordinator OF recrea-
tional activities and leave control
Of public school and municipal play
grounds jointly under the Board Of
Education and the Commissioners.
The House bill would place control
under the School Board exclusively.
Some OF the relative minor
changes made in the House bill
would increase the salary OF Frank
B. Marks, District poundmaster,
from $4,000 to $2,400 a year and
provide him with a new radio
equipped motor truck; give public
school librarians the same salary
as public school teachers; provide
an automobile driving course in one
white and one colored high school
and restore the municipal asphalt
testing plant to service.
Although the Senate subcommit-
tee did not write into the bill an
item eliminated by the House
authorizing an appropriation of
SIS 900 for study for construction
of an underpass at Scott Circle, 1t
did give Chairman Overton the
authority to seek to have that item
reinserted as an amendment on the
Senate floor.
The Senate subcommittee finished
its work Of revising and marking up
the bill shortly before 8 pm. yes
terday. Chairman Overton said il
the full committee on appropria-
tions approves 1t this afternoon, he
would make an effort to have it
called up in the Senate tomorrow.
but expressed the belief the Senate
program would not permit its con-
sideration until next week.
No appropriation is contained in
the revised bill to finance the sur
vey looking toward establishment of
municipality owned and operated
parking garages. The bill simply
directs the Commissioners to have
the study made and report to Con-
gress at the earliest possible time
where such garages could be erected,
their probable cost and q method for
financing them.
District officials also would be re-
quired to develop the proposed five
year program Of Capital improve
ments without cost to the tax
payers.
Maj. Donovan told Senator Over
ton that while the increases over
the House bill total $l,4O6, ,624, the
actual charges against the general
fund would amount to $905. TAO, and
that most Of this would be absorbed
by the deferred second installment
payments on 1899 local income tax
In October If those payments are
considered a proper credit for the
current fiscal year which ends June
80. The October payments are ex-
pected to exceed $500 600.

Says Nicotine Acid Would

By the Associated Press.

RICHMOND, Va, May o.-Vita-
Minis in addition to being essential
to health might even serve to keep
soldiers in trenches free of "cooties, u
a speaker suggested today to the an
nual meeting Of the American
Pharmaceutical Association.
DR.. Harry N. Holmes Of Oherlin
College said vitamin G., not specific
for any particular disease but nee
essary to general health and growth,
drives lice away from rats.
"Will major generals" he asked
"give 1t to soldiers in the trenches
in the hope that coolies will nee In
panic?"
Vitamins did play a role In the
World War, the speaker said.
when the Serbian Army was
weakened by scurvy due to lack OF
vitamin G the scurvy disappeared
upon adding to the soldiers diet an
ounce daily of freshly sprouted beans
and peas. Denmark exported most of
her butter, rich in vitamin A, and
was punished by an outbreak of
bronchial troubles among the chill

Can Save Lives In South.
Apparently Germany is interest
ed at this time In Denmark's vitamin
A." he added. There are rumors
that the Germans have refrigerated
large quantities of fresh fruits and
vegetables to preserve their vitamin
content. Possibly she may be manu-
featuring vitamins in larger amounts
than usual, for German research in
this field has been important"
DR.. Holmes said cheap nicotine
acid could save the lives of 1000
who will die in our South this year
from pellagra, q dietary deficiency
disease"
Two weeks ago, he said In con-
clusion, I'VE were urged to eat
bleached and dried grass as q mar
velously rich source OF few vita
minis. Boys feared that lawn now
ing would become an obsession. But
it is young wheat, oats and rye, not
lawn grass, that was meant in the
research report"
Byrd Speaks.
Senator BYRD of Virginia in an
address last night asserted that
excessive spending, excessive gov
ernmental regulation and excessive
Government expenditures" had re
quired the formation at Washing
ton of the greatest bureaucracy of
all times"
Bureaucratic expansion, Senator
Byrd said, has brought q concen-
tration of power that is gagainst
all democratic principles and is q
principal factor in the continuing
deficits that now threaten to over
flow the country's legal debt limit. "
A committee reported progress on
a campaign to obtain 100000 sig

Wednesday who would be the next
football coach at Fl Centre high
school as successor to Coach Larry
Hanson. who resigned to clear the
way 10 take a position IN The san
Diego system next year
But from the offices at E Centre
high. where first announcement OF
selection of a successor to Hanson
viii be made. came nothing more
than the information. the boarC
has taken no action"
Observers regarded il as strange
however. that the board had taken
no action in selecting a successor
lnasnuch as the board was aware
of Hanson'S intention to resign TWO
months ago.
Observers also recalled hurried
action of the board two years ago
when w S. Taylor resigned. lndi-
eating perhaps that a successor has
already been chosen.
Informed circles indicated the
board has choStn a use graduate
as football coach while other sources
hinted that Robert Armstrong might
be recalled to the football post at
FL Centro high.
Still others in the class of the
so-called experts believed that T.
S. Walker, who resigned as Holt
vile mentor this year might be
given a shot at the post. In any
event ii was believed that Hanson's
successor would be hired as foot
ball coach and that Bill Maxwell.
