A survey of local department stores revealed today that thou sands of dollars worth of merchant disc stamped, Mad in Japan" have been removed from shelves and counters, in some cases without specific instructions from the main offices of chain stores.
 Principal items no longer offered for sale are novelties such as crock cry, ashtrays, glass articles, pencils, sebulhs and Christmas tree settings.
 While silk stocking, made Of Jap arese thread, are still available (and managers report that no criticism of their sale has been made by clls- torners) they will be discontinued as soon as the persent stock is de- pleted.
 It was pointed out that although She removal Of the merchandise will involve considerable financial loss, concerns are willing to cooperate in the effort to eliminate all Japanese products from the domestic market as a gesture of patriotism.

'Made-In-Japan'G Goods Go Into Discard Here
Department Stores Remove Merchanise, Particularly Novelties, Christmas Toys; Silk Hosiery Remain

that e slight but perceptible de- crease in sales had been noted since Monday, and although the situation is not even remotely a cause for con- cern, 1t, nevertheless, represents a falling off from the excellent turn- over experienced thus far.
 Store managers stated that the loss through removal of Japanese goods will not be nearly so great as might have been the case at some other time. For more than Q year now Nipponese produces have been to some extent summed by both patrons and buyers, and the recent ban on imported silk has reduced available silk ioisery to 6 mini- mum.
 In TOrirngton, too, it was reported, leading stores agreed to remove ap- proximately $l,BOO worth of Japa- nese-made products. Some, on their own initiative. have ceased selling the goods since Monday, and others have destroyed stock on hand.
 It was remarked that the imported articles were decidedly inferior to domestic goods of the same type, but that contracts hKd been made for their purchase sons time ago. and had already been pain for.

Congress requires the District of
Columbia to render, at its own ex-
pense, a multitude of uncompen-
sated services to the Federal Gov
ernment which services have been
appraised as high as s12,000,000 per
annum.
THE argument most frequently
advanced against the Federal pay
ment is that the burden of taxation
in the District of Columbia is light
as compared with subdivisions of
various State governments. The
committee requested the Bureau of
the Census to make study and
institute a comparison between the
tax burden in the city of Washing
ton and other comparable cities.
The chief statistician, Division of
States and Cities, Bureau of the
Census, reported that the tax bur-
den in the city of Washington is not
less than the average of other COM
parable cities.
The funds for operating and de-
veloping our national capital are
inadequate and have been for a
number of years.
1T is the opinion of the commit
tee that the Federal payment should
rest upon a stable basis free of un-
certainty, bitter controversy, and
ceaseless wrangle."

District Takes Two
Income Tax Decisions
To Supreme Court
Certiorori Writs Asked
In Effort to Clarity
'DomiciIe' Issue

Pending before the United States
Supreme Court today were two ap-
peals by the District government
for writs of certiorari in the cases
of adverse rulings by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Dis
trict on the application of the Dis
trict income tax to persons who
have resided here for some years
but who claimed they were "domi-
ciled" in some State.
Final rulings by the high court
on these two cases were regarded as
important, since the appeals repre-
sented a last-ditch effort by the
municipal government for a clear
ruling on the muddled situation.
The appeals were taken, as had
been forecast previously, after con-
gressional committees several times
had failed to approve proposals to
put the District income tax levy on
a different basis than the moot
"domicile" clause.
In the two appeals for certiorari
writs, which were filed for the Dis
trict by Glenn Simmon, assistant
corporation counsel. the city gov
ernment questioned the authen.
ticity of the claim of the two per-
sons to be doniciled outside of the
District although they had livec
here for some years.
Those who had successfully con.
tested the payment of the District
income tax were Henry c. Murphy
q Treasury Department economist
who has resided here since 1885 but
who claimed legal residence at De.
troit, and Paul M. De Hart, an Off.
cial of the National Guard Bureau
of the War Department, who ha:
lived here since 1914 but who
claimed legal residence in Pennsyl'
vania. The District had levied 6
s25.55 income tax bill against Mr.
Murphy for 1899 and a bill of $l6.3t
against Mr.. De Hart for the same
year.

The recent physical examination"
was a mystery to Mr.. Brown, who
told a reporter he never had any
dealings with the Health Depart
ment or selective service authorities.
Some one might have confused him
with another man of the same last
name living in the same block, he
suggested.

he declared, adding he was known in
his neighborhood as "the mayor Of

Man of 50 Obeys Summons
For Test as Army SeIectee
Edward Lee Brown
Expects No Order
For Active Service

Edward Lee Brown, SO, of 215 E
street NE. reported" today at
the District Health Clinic, 512 I
street NV, for a selective military
service physical examination. He
did not expect to be ordered into the
Army.
Bafned clinic nurses summoned
DR.. G. M. Leiby when the prospective
"selectee" announced he was ready
to go, if they want me-" Mr.. Brown
reporters and photographers sat
down to wait, and the retired Gov
ernment employe expressed conf
dence he would pass" the physical
test this afternoon.
Mr.. Brown has been living quietly
since his retirement from the Post
Office Department nearly three years
ago. He has gone hunting and fish,
ing near his boyhood home in Vir-
ginia. He has sat quietly in his rock
ing chair, reading the newspapers.
Being we'll above the maximum
age, the selective service registra-
ton last fall only turned Mr.. Browns
thoughts to the Spanish-American
War. He recalled how his parents
baked an attempt to enlist in the
Army.
Yesterday, however, the program
for expanding the Nations military
forces came into the Brown home
in the form of a communication on
Health Department stationery bear
ing the signature of DR.. Leiby
The message, headed by an address
giving Mr.. Browns full name, was
mimeographed and stated:
"A review of the pertinent findings
in connection with your recent phys
ical examination by the Selective
Service Board indicates that q more
detailed physical examination and
serologic study are necessary.

Imagine 100 prima donnas in one
opera house and you get some idea
of the goings-on at the Alexandria
Ball Park today.
The prima donnas were all dogs,
but the snootiest dogs in this part
OF the country, gathered for the
sixth annual dog show of the Old
Dominion Kennel Club of Northern
Virginia.
Such primping as went on! The
owners arrived hours early to cut
toe nails, clip fur, scrub and comb
and curry. 1t takes all day to brush
up a poodle, they said.
They put chalk on the white fur
and even blackened a few noses
the hpstick Of dogdom. A toy poodle
had blue ribbon put on her fluffy
hair.
One owner busted himself with an
English springer spaniel with great
flaps of ears. The more the owner
combed the curly fur of those ears,
the more the dog looked like an
English magistrate, complete with
wig of curls.
Dogs Appear Resigned.
The dogs themselves, most of them
veterans Of many shows, appear re-
signed. They stayed put, most OF
them looking bored with the whole
procedure of getting prettied up. 8.
+ One dog, with eyes tight shut and
forehead wrinkled, had that express
sion of panied acceptance you find
on a small boy getting the back Of
his ears washed. srs~
The sun was feeble at the ball
park, and most of the dogs were
wrapped in towels until the judging

dog" judging at pm. Three cocker
spaniels arrived in matching coats
of palest blue. A grim-faced Eng
lish bull named Dour- -Disdain. and
looking it, was wrapped in a trench
coat, the sleeves knotted at his short
neck.
Somebody said, "It's the people
not the dogs, that make a dog show
interesting"
There was a very fat man with a
dachshund on a leash. 1t was a
very small dachshund, its body
barely clearing the ground.
There was a woman carrying

And there was a very blond young

hanced by her split skirt
Many out-of-town owners had
included the Virginia show in their
circuit of dog shows One of them
had brought her dogs in a specially
built car with a 200-inch wheel
base, eight doors, a radio, con-
trolled heating and all other mod
ern improvements. The automobile
weighs three tons and carries eight
dogs from show to show The dogs
sleep on thick, soft mattresses in
cages constructed of a type of metal
used in airplanes.
Most of the owners brought their
pets in their own automobiles and
walked into the park, to be greeted
by four urchins perched on the
high fence surrounding the park
AS a woman led her proud bor-
zoi into the park, the urchins
yelled, Hey, lady, where did you
get that hound?"
The aristocratic canine barked
and from inside the city pound
at the edge Of the park, q mongrel
returned the greeting.

DeIano Praises
.Whitehurst
Road Survey
Desires to Study
Plan, However, Before
Offering Criticism

Chairman Frederic A. Delano OF
the National Capital Park and Plan
ming Commission today described
the preliminary highway survey re-
port submitted to the Commissioners
by Capt. H. C. Whitehurst, District
director of highways, as a COM
prehensive and important piece OF
work." but pointed out that it was
"too early" to record any intelligent
criticism of the far-reaching plan.
Mr.. Delano revealed that a special
staff committee of the planning
commission, headed by John Nolen.
jr., director of planning, has been
assigned the task of preparing a
report on the survey for submission
to the commission as whole during
its May meeting Until then, he
said, 1t is not likely that the plan
ming groups attitude will be made
public.
Desires to Make Study.
'The report is comprehensive
and important piece of work" Mr..
Delano said, land Capt. Whitehurst
is very competent man. However"
he added, Il am familiar only with
the reports general nature and until
I have made a detailed study of it
I should prefer to make no state
ment concerning its merits or faults"
Mr. Delano said that Capt. White
hurst was a member of the Planning
Boards Co-ordinating Committee
and that, therefore, it was safe to as
sumo that the report followed the
general lines" of previous recon-
mendations of the commission. This
Planning Commission was among
the groups and individuals that
urged Capt. Whitehurst to make the
survey" he said.
"One thing is certain" Mr.. Delano
declared, land that Is that WASH
ington has got to have better trans
portation facilities"
Transportation Lacking.
With regard to the parking prob
lem, Mr.. Delano said private facil-
tiles, such as parking lots, cannot
provide the answer as long as the
city provides free parking on the
| streets.
Automobile owners will not pay
for parking as long as they can find
free space in the city streets" he
said.
One of the Whitehurst report con-
clusions is that private enterprise
has not given the parking problem
the consideration 1t deserves.
Mr.. Delano said that Washington
transportation facilities were 'very
backward" adding that this was one
of the causes of the "glut Of private
motorcars."
