Association Asks
Motorcycle Police for
Check on Speeding
Upper Connecticut Ave.
Action Recommended in
Notice TO Precinct

Assignment of motorcycle police
to upper Connecticut avenue in an
effort to curb speeding was request
ed by the Connecticut Avenue Citi-
zenS' Association at its meeting last
night. A copy of the resolution was
ordered sent to Capt. Lloyd E. Kelly
Of No. 8 police precinct
David Babp, in commenting on the
speeding, also urged overhead traf-
flc lights, especially at the Zoo en-
trance on Connecticut avenue. NO
action was taken on the matter.
Traffic Light Asked.
A motion by Miss F. C. Gibson
asked for traffic light at Thirty
fourth and Garfield streets NV. 1t
was passed.
Mr.. Babp's suggestion for better
bridge facilities at the foot of Por-
ter street and Klingle road cross
ing Rock Greek was indorsed. This
improvement. it was pointed out,
would permit an easier route for the
hoped-for cross-town bus service.
The possibility that the Bureau of
Standards would seek to close Van
Ness street NV. from Reno road to
Connecticut avenue was discussed.
The matter was referred to Mr..
Babp, chairman of the Streets and
Alleys Committee, TO oppose II
possible.
Liquor Law Debated.
Proposed liquor law changes were
also discussed, but no action taken.
The issues were left to the discre-
ton of the delegates to the Fedora
ton to bring up at the Federation
meeting.
Seven new members were ad-
mitted: Rudolph Coiffeur. William
H. Ross, jr.; M. S. Shufelt, Mrs. H.
P. Inabnett, John Ligon, jr.; Milton
Myers and Miss Gwen Geach.
The meeting, held in the parish
hall of All Souls Memorial Epls-
copal Church, was presided over by

A good round Of laughter accom-

Vota insisted he wanted a game
with us. so we agreed to play at
a very low stake.
When the game was over, De
Vota asked us to autograph the

ed a good game-today's hand,

De Vota, sitting South, ruffed
the second spade lead. He led q
low trump to the jack and led
dummy's third spade, which he
ruffed with the ace Of trumps.
Then he cashed a second high
trump and led the ten of clubs.
West, not suspecting what the
declarer was up to, played low
on the club, hoping that East

was forced in. Now he had no

THE NEW TAX BILL

The new tax bill, which was posed
bv the House and is now in the Senate,
hos mony merits. But it likewise hos
defects which should be remedied be-
fore finoI enactment.
The House is to be complimented
on moving the clause which would have
forced husbands and wives with sep
erote incomes to lump their earnings
in single return, and SO pay q for
hiqher totol tax than would otherwise
have been levied. This provision was
monifestIy unjust and, in effect,
amounted to placing q definite eco
nonnic penalty upon the institution Of
marriage.
Prime weakness Of the House Bill,
in the view Of most economists, lies in
the failure to place an equitable tax
upon those in the lower income broc-
kets who will receive the bulk of the
wages resulting from defense spend
ing. President Roosevelt requested
that exemptions be reduced, but his
advice wcs rejected. So it is up to the
Senate to correct this defect. The 81
eontic COS: Of defense can only be met
if all income strote contribute their
foir share Furthermore, if we are to
prevent rur away price initiation, curb
must be placed on consumer purchos-
ing power. and the only way to do thot
is to directly tax those groups which
are reopne the richest harvest from
the "wor boon"
As the President oIso pointed out,
the sections Of the bill dealing with ex-
cess profits and corporation taxes,
need revision. At present, certain

WHITE BREAD PLUS VITAMINs

Americans are white bread eoters.
They devour white flour and are opt
to turn disinterested eye on brown.
1t may be the toste and it may be the
color. Whotever the reason, they
specify white most Of the time when
they buy q loaf at the grocery store or
order noon sandwiches. Sometime ago
the milling and baking industries un-
dertook q nationwide campaign de-
signed to increase whole wheat bread
consumption, but sole Of this product
never exceeded two per cent of the
totoI.
Then the medical fraternity enter
ed the picture 1t wos known that moI-
nutrition and diet deficiency existed
even in welI-to-do homes, with hand
somely stocked Iorders. The scientists
went to work to find out why. Their
discovery amounted to this: Many
polotobIe foods ore sodIy deficient in
those vitonins which ore essential to
robust health And white bread wos
one Of them. In the process Of refn-
ing, the flour lost many of its health
attributes. There was, for instance,
O deficiency Of ribofIovin, which re-
to impairment Of the nervous, digestive
ond circu|otory systems. There was
deficiency Of NICOTINE ocid, which is
closely related to peIoero. There wos
deficiency Of ribofIovin, which re-
suits in stuntine Of growth, Iowerno
OF vitality. premature aging, and nerv-
Gus disorders.
So in 1888, with the focts known
the American Medical Association
went on record to the effect that in the
processing Of foods the goal should be
TO retain the natural food voIue-ond
thot if this is not feasible, the process
ed food should be scientifically en-
rlched to restore the losses. It is to
the credit Of the milers and bakers

result really will be something
to see if it's as impressive as the
preparations.
About 40 miles from Holly
wood at Sherwood Forest
they've built a 10-acre jungle
complete with river, a village
and handsome temple, and many
a barrel of monkeys. They also
have an assortment of elephants,
tigers. bear, panthers, leopards,
jackals, tropical birds, snakes,
crocodiles, and water buffalo.
BY now, most of these are per-
sonal friends of Sabu, the young
East Indian star who seems to be
having more fun than anybody
except a couple of dozen mon
keys who have got loose and
gone native in the forest.
KALA NAG MISSING
About the only thing they
haven't got is the boss elephant
they wanted. That's Kala Nag
("Black Snake" in Hindu which
was used in Elephant Boy" and
and Is still in the interior of
India. Ship space probably could
have been found and they were
willing to take chance on sub

OUR HEALTH! IT'S

The number of men called UP for mill

oooinst mere pressing matters thon

But otter all we do know this:
When oImost half tn e young men
colIed up for military service are founo
unfit to serve, we know thot the no.
tionoI health isn't good enough.
Il isn't as bod as it looks, bun it isn't
oood enough. Let's get the favorable
foctors Out of the way first: A man
NOV be quite healthy enough for ordin-
ov purposes, and still be rejected TOR
miIitory purposes, as witness some OF
the professional athletes who get q
Iivino by physical proves but orent
oood enough for the army. exom'no-
tions ore fer more thorough than they
used to be. and unquestionobIy many
are rejected who would have been glod-
" token in the old doys Standards
are higher: the emergency is not as inn
medioteIy grove. In short, many
man rejected by the army may feel
fine. and live to be lO4 and tell tall lies
about what he did for his country back
in lo4l.
The figures, in other words, don't
mean thot half the young American
manhood IS oiIine and unfit for ordi-
nary life. But they ore disturbing none
the less. II is not the highest aim Of O
social order to turn out q population

that q normal population, well-bol-

duce better than so per cent Of sound
