and what do you see an easy- going, unhurried, calm person who has time for friendly interest in you and your doings?
 No. That's not the usual pie ture. Usually, you see a woman with strained look on her face that comes from hurrying, from trying to squeeze too many ac- tivities into every day, from mak- ing mountains out of molehills.
 Give her three minutes and you hear how busy she is, how much trouble she is having doing this or getting that, what IS wrong with her children, etc.
 And she says 1t all with an air of personal triumph-as if there were something noble about hav- ing too much to do.
 IS RUSHING A VIRTUE?
 That's the catch. The modern woman thinks there is some virture in rushing around, in never having minute" for anything, in making out that keeping house and bringing up children is the hardest job in the world.
 Doing things easily is no longer virtue among women. If they can't hurry, complain, and fret, they are afraid the world won't give them credit for all they do.
 They DO make job out of living-even If they have to join five clubs to make their days hec- tic enough to complain about.

Some so-called carbonated foun- tain beverages are harmful to per- sons under sixteen years of age, in my opinion. because they contain the drug caffeine or a similar aka Ibid having a stimulating effect on brain, nerves, heart, kidneys. How ever, these beverages are not more injurious to the child than a com parable amount of tea or coffee would be. If you imagine tea and coffee are wholesome beverages for persons under sixteen years of age, my quaint notion need not disturb you.

Special Committee
Will Meet Tuesday
Future Deficit Feared
BY JOHN w. THOMPSON. Jr.

Mounting operational costs and
postwar building program. that
may bring the District q deficit
within the next few years are
forcing District officials to review
the entire city tax structure, 1t
was learned last night. 1
A special committee headed by
Corporation Counsel Vernon E.
West will meet at 2 pm. Tuesday
In Mr.. Vests office to 20 over the
entire matter and recommendations
will probably be made to the Com
n1issioners for consideration at the
Capitol when the more than $780,
100000 budget for 1947 is released.
While no details OF the estimates
have been made public, 1t is known
that they will tax the city's re-
sources to the utmost and that If
additional burdens are placed on
the District a deficit is in prospect
under the present tax scheme.
Projects Require Study.
Projects which could throw the
city's finances out of line include
the proposed pay increases to gov
ernment employees, the proposed
new Federal court building in which
the city has $4,000 900 stake II the
present plan goes through, and the
proposed new hospital center, in
which the suggested District share
OF one-third may amount to $6,000,-

Hackers Seek Zone Change
AT PUG Hearing tuesday

Members of Local 935, AFL Union
Of Taxicab Operators, Drivers and
Garagemen, will 60 before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission at 10 am.
Tuesday on their application for
changes in the boundaries of zones
and subzones.
Only one request involves a change
OF fare, it was said. This is the re-
quest to establish a fifth-fare zone
in the vicinity of Livingston road
Sc, to make it $110 for single
passenger and go cents for group
riding from downtown to the des-
tination. Present rate to the area is
80 cents for a single passenger and
so cents in group.
Revision of zones are the only
union demands on which the PUG
has agreed to hold an informal
hearing. Previously it refused to
hold Va hearing on other proposals
for fare increases.
The union plans to hold meet
ing at, 8 pm. next Sunday at its
new quarters at $40 M street NE.
to review the Tuesday hearing.
Union officials threatened drastic
action "if the drivers are given the
short end of the horn"
The special meeting Sunday will
be followed by regular union
meeting at 8 pm. January II at

Aides Are Needed
At D. c. Hospitals
s Postwar Problems

all. They can't fill all the gaps Gre
ated by war and the end of war.
. AS the corps has shrunk, nurses
aides have been withdrawn from all
hospitals except those that insist
they can't possibly get through the
winter without them.
Winter-particularly this winter
brings an increase in illness. Hos
pitals are full. Patients need q
variety of services to make Their
hospital stay less painful-whethel
that service is a refreshing bath
answering a patients bell, fresh
flowers in the room or just glass
of water.
Those are some of the many serv-
ices overworked nurses have little
chance to give. They must devote
themselves to essential nursing care
It's up to the nurses aides to dc
the rest.
Because there are not enough
nurses aides even for the hospitals
where they are needed most, the
Red Cross Nurses Aide Corps will
start a new class to train nurses
aides on January 81. Essential helr
for the hospitals and their patients
depends on filling that class.
Women who volunteer to enter
the course will know, as soon as
they enter q hospital ward for the
first time, that they are doing as
important . job in this period o1
conversion from war to peace as
their sisters did In the war years
Evening star., 1946-01-06

Back in the days when we were
fighting two-front war, women
who wanted to do their part at home
flocked into the District Red Cross
nurses aide corps. 1t was easy to
understand then that the nurses
were needed on the battlefronts leav-
ing behind great gaps in nursing
care-gaps that nurses aides helped
to fill.
Actually, although the need for
nurses on the battlefronts no longer
exist, the gaps in homefront nursing
care are still here. The nurses have
not yet returned.
Some Of them are still nursing the
wars wounded. Some of them are
on terminal leave, getting we'll
deserved rest from many months Of
service overseas. Some are going to
school under the CT Bill of Rights to
take postgraduate training courses.
And some have married and will not
be returning to Washington.
Actually, the hospitals report, only
about rs of the 750 graduate nurses
who left Washington to go to war
have returned to their jobs on the
hospital wards.
The gaps In nursing care remain.
II anything. the situation has grown
worse since vi day. Many Red
Cross nurses aides who served faith
fully through the war, doing a hun
dred jobs in the hospitals to relieve
the remaining nurses, have dropped
from active duty. They. too, had
their, reasons. Husbands returning

Latest scientific methods of rat
control-including experiments with
DOT and the new rat poison, "1080,"
used by the armed forces during
the war-were demonstrated yes
terday at the Health Departments
Bureau of Sanitation by DR.. John
Essex, Public Health Service expert
of Atlanta.
DR.. Essex came to Washington to
assist in an intensive rat control
program resulting from the discov-
cry of typhus infected rats here,
following the Districts first case
of typhus in three, years.
The drive will include efforts to
determine whether the typhus in
fected rats have spread from the
second block of K street NE, where
three have been found since the
typhus victim recovered. The most
suitable methods of determination
also will be decided during the ex-
periments directed by DR.. Essex.
Maj. w. H. Cary, jr., director OF
the Bureau of Sanitation, said the
1920 will be used only on an eX-
perimental basis as it is too dan
gerous to be handled except under
controlled conditions.
Results Spectacular.
Describing 1000" as Spectacular"
Dr. Essex said it is so lethal that
any animal which eats rat which
has had the poison, also is killed.
The victim itself probably dies few
minutes after the poison is con-
sumed, he said.
A white powder, 1000" is mixed
with water-14 grams to a.gallon-
and put in containers where the
rats will find it, he said. Rats ap-
parently like the taste and, because
no bait is required, it is a very in
expensive method, he added.
He warned, however, it is believed
to be poisonous to any meat-eating
animal .....
The K street area will be the focal
point of the current study of the
rat problem, but other areas will be
checked as the investigation pro-
crosses, including the railroad yard

Five States Will Sent
Delegates 10 Discuss
Virginia Truck Tax

Traffic Director william A. Van
Duzer said yesterday five States had
agreed to send representatives here
at 2 pm. Thursday to discuss retail
iation against Virginia If that State
resumes 2 per cent tax on out-of-
State motor carriers.
The tax against Virginia earnings
of District common and contract
carriers became effective Tuesday,
but q State spokesman said no de-
mands would be made before April i.
Mr.. Van Duzer said only New Jer-
sey remained to be heard from in
response to his invitations. States
which so far have accepted, he said,
are Maryland, Delaware, North
Carolina, Pennsylvania and West
Virginia.
Although it had been planned
originally to invite Virginia to ex-
plain its tax plan, Mr.. Van Duzer
said the matter had been reconsider
ed and no invitation would be sent
to Richmond. He explained that
the other representatives probably
would feel free to discuss the mat
ter without a Virginia representative
present.
The District, which has it's own
plan of retaliation involving the
subsection of Virginia carriers to
motor vehicle levies when they pass
through the city, is holding off until
after Thursdays conference.
The Virginia General Assembly
meets Wednesday in Richmond and
it was hoped some action might be
taken there against the resumption
of the prewar tax
Until Tuesday, the District and
Virginia operated under a wartime
reciprocal agreement covering the
common and contract carriers. Gov
Darden, however, announced in Oc-
tober his plan to resume the levy
on out-of-State carriers. The other
States invited to the conference
Thursday also are subject to the tax
1t was said
