OF Health REGULATIONS

The Public Health Department
in an effort to reduce communicable
disease in the District, today was
on record as beginning an enlarged
campaign which may result in court
action if public health regulations
are disregarded.
This grew out of a case in Police
Court yesterday in which 3l-year-
old colored woman was given a
maximum sentence of 500 fine
and 80 days in Jail under the new
District of Columbia code. The
sentence, handed down by Judge
Hobart Newman, was suspended in
favor of a one-year probationary
period provided the woman reported
to Gallinger Hospital for treatment
The case was brought to the at
tention of the court by DR.. A. Bark
lie Coulter, director of the tubercu-
losis bureau of the Health Depart
ment, who emphasized that non
cooperation will cost lives.
This program" he said, must
go forward, particularly because OF
the high death rate here. as much
as one deplores having to go to court
with such case"
Health officials said the defendant
sentenced yesterday was living in
one room with three children.

This is the HaWkesbury melon,
introduced several years ago by the
Virginia Truck Experiment Station

ceptance by Virginia growers because
1t is resistant to wilt disease that
threatened for time to wipe out
the commercial melon crop in the
State, and also because it has good
shipping qualities.
1t also is popular among consum-
ers because the flesh is firm, sweet
and of a good red color. Some buy

Mr.. Femme says, because 1t is gen.

Tough Year Forecast
For Consumers

Depleted stocks which cannot
be replaced, increased prices, and
excise taxes are causing plenty
of headaches" to merchandisers
in general and the local variety
store in particular. Selections are
limited, the size and count of some
articles have been cut, and some
items ordinarily plentiful cannot
be purchased at any price.
The variety store last spring
ordered much of its fall and win
ter supplies. Some of this mate
rial is now being received at
prices higher than anticipated.
Some of it is not being received
because it is not available. When
the present supply of some items,
like cellophane, has been sold
there will not be any more.
With no more silk coming into
this country, the women are 60
ing to be forced to substitute some
other kind of hosiery and other
garments when the mills have
used up their current stocks.
Consumers are not completely
aware of these circumstances,
which are caused by the emer-
gency through which this coun-
try is passing. They neither ex-
pect nor understand higher
prices, taxes, the inability to Sc
cure some items. 1t is expected
that next year will be a "tough"
one.
