Favor Rabies Control
And Two-Bridge Plan

The District rabies control bill
and two four-lane spans across the
Potomac River to replace the old
Highway Bridge were unanimously
Endorsed at meeting of the South
west Citizens Association last night.
In supporting the rabies legisla-
tion, Harry S. Wender, chairman of
the District Recreation Board and
member of the association stated
that more people had been bitten by
rabid dogs so far this year than
during the same period last year.
This shows that the menace is
growing" Mr.. Wender said. He
asserted that the people who were
against the proposal as inhumane
to dogs should be made to under
stand that it was best for the dogs

Newton D. Baker Hospital Denies Rumor
That 1t Is Closing; Calls Rumor Vicious
Official News Release Points Out That Hospital Has More
Patients Than Ever Before Most OF Whom Require Ions
disqualification.

Martinsburg, W. Va, 81 October,
1915 - Newton D. Baker General
Hospital is not closing this week,
or next month, or "by the first of
the year"
1t will be here, functioning as an
Army General Hospital, for many
long months to come. The rumors
that are flying through the COM
munity have no basis whatever. In
fact, they are not only pointless,
they are vicious. They are actually
doing harm to the work of the
hospital, for they create feeling
of unrest and insecurity and are
definitely disrupting the morale of
all concerned. People can never de-
vote full effort to a job they expect
to fold under their feet; and those
who might seek employment here,
to do vitality needed work on the
wards, are deferred by the impress
sion that it would be for only a
brief time.
So far from being on the verge
of closing, the hospital has never

Poker and Figures

Poker and Figures
Cronies report that Secretary of
the Treasury Fred Vinson is a smart
poked player. Vinson himself adj
mits he's a shrewd hand at figures,
and boasts he knows major league
batting averages as thoroughly as he
understands those dealing with taxes
and the cost of living.
Secretary Vinson, as spokesman
for the Administration plan to light
en- the tax load, laid before the
House Ways and Means Committee
the first tax reduction measure pre-
sented at the Capitol since the Hoov-
er Administration. He proposes a
SIS billion slash for individuals and
business which will help business
and create jobs, in his opinion.
Carried The Ball
Early in his Congressional career
Kentucky born Fred Vinson decided
to learn all about taxes. He carried
the ball for the blouse Ways and
Means Committee in the early 1905,

before had so many patients actu-
ally on the wards. Most of these
patients will require long hospitali-
zation-plastic and neurosurgical
surgery cannot be done in a matter
of days or weeks. These men will
not be returned to civilian life un-
til they have received the utmost
benefit of all that modern Surgery
can do for them.
When an official date is set for
the closing of the hospital, it will
be announced well in advance. We
do not known that date yet; we do
know that it will be closer to a
year from now than to the oft-men-
toned First of the year"
Please - you wouldn't come out
here and deliberately harm one of
our soldiers battling to recover his
physical health. You are harming
him by all this speculation, passed
on as something I've just learned"
Please - let us be enabled to
work with all our concentration and
all possible help for the months to
come.
