care centers, I'VE will absolutely
have to provide more toys"
Contributors of toys have been
asked to leave them either at the
day care headquarters. 480 Indiana
avenue NV. or at one of the four
centers. They are: Cooke, Seven
tenth and Euclid streets NV:
Knox Hill Community House, 5000
Knox road Sc; Morgan School,
Eighteenth and California streets
NV, and Smothers School, Forty
fourth street and Washington place
Sc.
81 Enrolled to Date.
Enrolment at the four centers,
two for white and two for colored,
has climbed from 10 the first day
to 81 children today. Capacity is
200. Miss Pearse indicated that vol
unteer help may be needed as the
numbers of children grow. Only two
workers can be employed at each
center. Therefore each of them has
to manage the entire center alone
for several hours a day. .
Fees charged for the care and hot
lunch range from 81 to So a week
for one child and higher for enroll
ment Of two or three children from
one family. Parents are interviewed
by counselors at 480 Indiana avenue
NV to determine the rate their
family income enables them to pay.
"A few parents have thought we
charged them too high q rate and
would not enroll their children"
said Miss Pearse. I'VE try to prove
to them that 1t is cheaper to get
care and lunch at the centers than
try to hire maid and feed the
children hot lunches at home"
No Funds From District.
Fees are charged In all day care
centers supported by Lanham Act
funds In other parts of the country.
The charges can be lower elsewhere,
however, because in many cases the
State, county or town is helping the
centers to match the amount of the
LaHnam ACT contribution. Here In
the District the centers must pay
SO per cent of their own expenses
with no help from either Congress
or the District.
We may have to get lump ap-
preparation from Congress If we
can't make ends meet" Miss Pearse
said. When the six-month trial
period for the program is over, she
continued, she might also appeal for
q reduction Of the SO per cent con-
tribution now required from the
centers.
Centers now operating are for the
care OF children over S years of
age. Nursery schools for children
under 5 viii be opened NEXT
month at 308 D street NE; Smoth-
ers School and Truesdell School.
Ninth and Ingraham streets NV.
Ten day care and 10 nursery school
centers will be open when the fun
program is in operation.

Smith Demands 0PA
Probe Curb on Gas
In Fairfax County
Second Letter to Brown
Cites Problem Deserving
Immediate Action

Representative Smith, Democrat,
of Virginia has requested the Once
of Price Administration to "investi-
gate" and find a remedy" for the
situation in Fairfax County result
ing from a cut in gasoline allotments
to motorists, it was learned today.
In his second letter to Price Ad-
ministrator Prentiss M. Brown, Mr..
Smith said the. situation presents a
special problem that merits the at
tention of some one who would in
vestigate it and find a remedy
rather than to resort to a form letter
of such general observations as to
amount to no answer at all"
Asserting that there lis a prob
lem in Fairfax. County which de-
serves special and immediate con-
sheraton" Mr.. Smith said some
person with sufficient authority to
do something about it, should be
ordered to make an investigation.
Mr.. Smith said he wrote the OPA
administrator early this month fol-
lowing reports of an impending
gasoline cut in Fairfax County, in
an attempt to outline the utter
impossibility" of essential workers
getting to and from their jobs with
the reduced allotments. He said he
also pointed out that public trans
portation facilities are inadequate
in the county. s@'''
Your reply to my letter Mr..
Smith wrote Mr.. Brown, "convinces
me that you never saw my letter,
that you certainly never wrote the
reply, which in no sense is an answer
to the problem which I presented.
There is problem in Fairfax
County which deserves special and
immediate consideration by some
person with sufficient authority to
do something about it"
Meanwhile, Fairfax motorists
whose allotments were cut were told
by Board Chairman John w. Rust to
return to the board for relief as soon
as present gasoline coupons are ex-
hauSted
While no definite promises were
made by State OPA officials, he said,
it was believed the problem would
be solved by the time present gaso-
line allOtmentS are consumed

The new Victory tax, which was
not levied in 1912, amounted to $14,-
261 ,512.15 in 1913. : ~
Liquor taxes, including occupa-
tional taxes, took sensational Jump
from only 1898, 172.05 to $685.
1887 during the same period. Tax
experts pointed out, however, this
was no indication of comparable
increase in drinking in Washington,
because a large part Of the increase
was accounted for by an increase Of
50 gallon in the tax on liquors.
The tax went up from 81 a gallon to
Sc gallon on November l, 1912.
This increase applied not only to all
new liquor purchased, but also to all
liquor in stock, on the shelves, here.

years, as shown in the official table
