American Elm
UlmuS americana

New York twist the bark of the elm
into sturdy ropes and cover their
canoes with it.
The elm-leaf beetle causes much
damage by consuming the leaves.
Though these small and determined
pests, adults and young, often kill a
tree by depriving it of all its leaves,
there has been way perfected to
handle the beetle. Dutch elm dis
ease is the dread foe for which no
cure has been found at the present
time. With heavy hearts, tree lovers
hear that sufficient funds are not
available to fight this enemy of our
popular American shade tree.

Committee, said yesterday he
thought the proposal of Chairman
McCarran to seek repeal of the act
of 1846, returning to Virginia its
portion of the original National Cap
Ital. is "wel worth considering"
TT seems like they used more
room for public buildings" the Sen
ator said, evidently referring to the
action of Congress last week in vot-
ing to place the $4,000, 900 new War
Department in Arlington County.
The current dispute concerning dl-
vided jurisdiction over the new Ma
tional Airport also has added to the
discussion.
Senator Capper indicated he was
not sure that the movement to re-
gain the Virginia territory should
take in all of the original 10 miles
square, but pointed out Senator Nc
Carran's bill would offer an oppor-
tunity for thorough discussion.
Meanwhile, Arlington County
Manager Frank c. Hanrahan added
his voice to the protests from Vir-

TO be the first woman health officer

says she is going to enlist first the
children, then the parents, of Mount

In the near future she will hold

health squads under her supervision
to observe and report unsightly con-
ditionS.
Especially earmarked for i'm
mediate attention, she says, will be
the problem of unSanitary chicken
and pigeon coops and rubbish piles
in alleys behind commercial estab-
lishments which she feels could
breed vermin.
When schools open in the fall
Mrs. Bartolini will seek permission
of school authorities to allow her to
make hygiene speeches to the chill
dren.
In the meantime, both adults and
children may have their word She
has placed a personal mail box in
the Mount Rainier Town Hall. Sug-
gestions and complaints may be
dropped there to insure immediate
attention. Signatures are required on
all messages. If this is not sufficient
to clean up Mount Rainier, she hopes
to arrange Office hours after her
working day in Washington during
which she can interview adults, al
though her primary object is to
reach them through their children.
Mrs. Bartolini is former school
teacher, born in Morgan County,

Virginia Collects
Smallest Poll Tax
Since 1898
Democratic Primary
Vote 5000 Fewer
Than Four Years Ago
By the Associated Press


RICHMOND, Va, Aug. 16-Fewer
than $4,000 Virginians paid the
81 so State capitation tax during the
fiscal year ended June 30, records
of the State comptroller's Office in
dicated today.
Total collections for the year were
1901 ,449.59, including penalties and
interest on delinqent taxes. The
amount was the smallest since 1887
SO when $761 ,625.59 was collected, but
was larger than the $787 900 SO COL
lected in 1936-37, the year of the last
previous gubernatorial campaign.
Strangely, the vote cast in the
Democratic primary this year was
some $4,000 fewer than in 1887, de-
spite the apparent increase in the
number of persons qualified by
payment of the poll tax
Records show regular cycle of
increases and decreases in poll tax
collections, depending on the kind
of election coming up in the various
years. Local election years always
are higher, and 1938-39 collections
hit a peak of 1868, 1886. Presidential
election years usually are next high
est in collections, with the other
years showing lighter collections.
One-third of the poll tax is re-
turned to the localities in which it
is collected and the other two-thirds
go to the public school fund. Three
years taxes must be paid up six
months in advance of an election in
order that an otherwise qualified
citizen may vote. The regular due
date is the same as other State
taxes, December 5, which accounts
for a sharp rise in collections each
November.
OF the years total, $44,361 repre-
sented omitted" poll tax payments,
that is, taxes which the revenue
commissioners previously had not
assessed. This category includes per-
Sons who have just become of age
as well as those who resume pay
ment of the tax after periods Of nom
payment.

denly realized that our individual
efforts were not enough to cope
with the many emergency prob
lens that are bound to arise with
children separated from their
homes" she said.
With the assistance of promi-
nent Washington residents and
the Council of Social Agencies,
the council came into being, Mrs.
Anderson explained.
Council Seeks Scholarships.
The council earlier this sum-
mer arranged scholarships for
other British children at summer
camps and is now endeavoring to
obtain school scholarships for
some of the older children. The
mothers and members of the
council also have devised cloth
ing pool for the exchange of
good garments outgroWn by
youngsters.
Mrs. Anderson said the council
was looking for about eight
Washington families that could
take into their homes this WIN
ter number of English refugee
children listed with the organi-
cation.
Nearly 300 years ago Robert
Brooke, Esquire; his wife. 10 chill
dren and % servants came to the
shores of Maryland from Eng
land and settled on the Patuxtent
20 miles up from where it flows
into Chesapeake Bay. He first
gave Delabrook the name Brooke
Place Manor.
The laughter of the first 10
Delabrook children has long
since died. The chatter of other
English boys and girls has taken
its place.

DELABROOK MANOR, Md,
Aug. 16.-The laughter of Is SUM-
tanned British refugee children,
ranging in age from l to Is years,
echoes over historic Delabrook,
overlooking the peaceful Pa
tuxtent River, far from the crash
of bombs and the roar of anti
aircraft fire.
Occasionally a bomber from
Langley Field, Va, flies high over
head, en- route to some mission in
the North. This morning there
were far-off explosions, but those
were only State employees blast
ing for new road 20 miles away.
At least half the youngsters
romping the broad lawn here
have been through air raids in
their native country. But today
they do not even pause in their
play to look aloft or run for cover.
That is what the summer at
Delabrook has done for them.
Loaned to Council.
Delabrook has been loaned for
the summer to the Washington
Council for British Children, an
organization of British and Amer
ican social workers, by Leander
Mccormick -Goodhart, attache at
the British Embassy in Washing
ton. Delabrooks tenants today
are children of British mothers
who have come to this country
seeking employment in British
agencies in the Capital.
Majority of these mothers are
receiving salaries which will not
permit them to send their chill
dren to expensive summer camps
or to hire nurses. With some as
SiStance from the council, moth
ers pay from 50 to SIS a week
board for each child.
Although the 100-year-o
manor house accommodates only
Is children, some 25 young refu-
gees will have enjoyed several
