Mid-City Association
Calls for Amendment
Disregurding Domiciles

The Mid-City Citizens Association
last night commended the District
Commissioners order for a survey of
tax-exempt real estate in Washing
ton. The resolution also stated the
move would benefit local taxpayers
and enlighten Congress.
The group also asked amendment
TO the District income tax law
whereby all residents gaining iveli-
hood in the District be subject to the
local income levy, regardless of domi-
Giles claimed outside of the city. The
action was in the form of request
10 the Commissioners to initiate
congressional legislation in the mat
ter. Frank B. Hoffman offered the
resolution.
Further plans for conducting a
parade and dedication exercises in
connection with the opening of the
new No. 2 police precinct station
early next month were discussed.
Frederick Levy, representing the
Central Disbursements Association;
Jacob SaluS of the North Seventh
Street Businessmen, and Mrs. Ella
M. Thompson, president of the
Logan Thomas Circle Citizens group,
pledged the support of their organi-
cations. A. j. Driscoll, president of
Mid-City, was Endorsed to act as
grand marshal of the parade, but
final action was deferred.
Complaints were registered on ir-
regular garbage collection in the 1900
block of Eighth street NV, and on
the poor condition of pavements on
Twelfth street at K and L streets
NV. The group opposed joining the
D. c. Legislative Council.
The meeting was held in Thomson
Community Center.

Prevention Of Measles
Epidemic Urged
By Dr.. Eubanks

As rather regular intervals we
have an epidemic of measles. 1t is
about time to have one of these epi-
denies. We just live in hopes that
such may not come before school is
out. If you should happen to have a
case Of measles in your home before
school is out. | wish you would please
cooperate by keeping other children
who have not had measles in your
home away from school for at least
two weeks after the last exposure to
the disease.
Many people e to have the
idea that all children are going to
have measles sooner or later. There
fore. they had just as well as have 1t
one time as another, but If we ana
I'VE the number Of deaths caused by
the complication Of this disease, we
find the death rate is much higher IN
children under two years of age or
as for that matter even under five
/. therefore, encourage you to en-
deavor to protect the children of this
age by keeping them away from the
disease and by using conyalcscent
serum or blood or by using the man.
ufactured serum against this disease
particularly with the young children.
The first symptoms of measles are
very much like a cold but We eyes
are rather red and light hurts them
1t is during the early stage of the
disease that it is most contagious.
If measles appear in your community
and your child has these symptoms
1t is well for all concerned that you
keep the child at home and place
him under the care Of your regular
physician.
Yours very sincerely,
L. II. EUBANKS, NJ. d.,
Director Holmes County
Health Department.

Signs Of trouble are clearly appar-

Rowan objects violently to losing its
strangle hold on a full time senator.
At present it's a separate district. 1t

rus and Davie, with two senators
from the three counties.
From Guilford there is a noise to
the effect that a fight will be made
for two senators. Maybe so-but that
would be little but a waste of time,
temper and effort. The legislature
simply isn't going to vote any
ty two senators unless things get so
lot that more than fifty per cent
are willing to cut off their own noses
to spite their faces.

When all the returns are in, il
seems likely there will be brewing
something approaching a real battle.
Even some counties which will not
be re-shuffled appear to have notions
in mind about doing something.
CataWba, for instance, feels strongly
that it shouldn't be bound any Ion
ger by a rotation agreement giving
Iredell a senator every time, while
Lincoln and CataWba alternate. IN
asmuch as CataWba's population Is

there is plenty of logic to this stand.
