You ond the D. c. SoIes Tex

Out of the welter Of confusion
attendant on the District sales tax
has come the widespread. mis-
taken belief that Virginia resi-
dents buying in the District can
escape the levy simply by using
charge accounts.
Allan F. Brooke. head Of the
sales tax division, explained today
that even goods bought in the
District on credit are subject to
the 2 per cent tax. unless deliv-
cred or shipped by the merchant.
An earlier Interpretation had
given Virginia credit customers
reason to believe they would not
be taxed on any purchases made
here.
AS for Maryland customers,
things will rock along just the
same. District merchants have
been collecting a sales tax for
goods delivered to Maryland ever
since that State adopted such
tax two years ago.
FURRY in Nearby Stores.
Since no sales tax exists in Wiz
ginia, signs point to furry OF
new business for nearby Virginia
stores after the District tax is
imposed next Monday.
But most of these Washington
mans soon will find the few pen

porta alton and time lost and will
revert to old shopping habits. tai
officials believe.
Those Virginians still usine

partment store, for instance, pre-

Charges that Washington pub

in a grab for power by unscrupu-
lous employers and Government
officials" were made by George E.

Mr.. Gould declared that the in
vestigation here was started by the
apprenticeship council through
the cooperation of employers

like to take over the authority
of the District Board of Educa-
ton which is charged under the
law with approving private schools
here for CT enrollments.

that the number was insufficient

Remmie L. Arnold

Remmie Leroy Arnold is a jovi-
al, irrepressible self made man
whose determination to run for
Governor added complications to
a much-confuSed race.
His insistence on remaining in
the Democratic contest which no
one-save. perhaps. himself-be-
lieves he can win, is typical OF the
man who rose from 50 per week
mill Job to the worlds second
largest manufacturer of fountain
pens and pencils.
Remmie Arnold was born SIS
years ago in Petersburg. At 9 he
was selling newspapers and three
years later, with just five years Of
schooling, he began work in a
planning mill to help support his
family. With such money as he
could spare he bought correspond
ence courses. He continued this
kind of education for years after
his marriage.
Held Many Jobs.
He held jobs as a riveter. stock
room clerk. in shoe and trunk fac
tories, as jewelry repairman and
railway clerk. When he was l9
he bought three acres of land and
a two-room house in Chesterfield
County, then added two rooms to
the cottage after working hours.
He built and ran grocery. get
ting his father to tend the bust
ness when he was busy with other
work. At 81 he landed job with
a pen company and eventually be-
came its president. In 1885 he
founded the r. L. Arnold Pen Co..
whose products now are sold
throughout the world.
Mr.. Arnold's application for &C
tive military duty in World War II

head of American War Dads. In
recognition of this work he was
invited by Lord Halifax. then the

servations to citizens In this coun-
try.
Always in High Gear.
Wherever he goes. it's in high
gear. In the midst of the sizzling
campaign he flew off to Chicago
to attend the convention of Shrin-
ers. who will name him Imperial
Potentate in 1854.
On the platform, Mr.. Arnold
impresses the audience favorably
with a big smile and frequent
jibes at opponents. despite an &C.
casional grammatical slip. He al
ways amuses the crowd but seldom
walks away with assurance Of
many votes.
On his 700-acre farm near Dis
putanta he raises Aberdeen-Angus
cattle. thoroughbred horses and
corn. He's proud of a certificate
for harvesting 1853 bushels pei
acre, far above the State average.

Answer: It is, in the sense that
there are not enough practicing psy-
chiatrists to treat more than per-
haps five per cent of the people who
need their help. But one drop of
ink in a bucket of water will tint
the whole pailful, and it is no less
true that ideas originating with psy-
chiatry are coloring the thinking, if
not always the behavior of millions
of men and women who have had
no direct contact with it. Modern
theories of education as well as of
parent training have largely psy-
chiatric basis, and criminal law

INDEED, Jesus whole boyhood
L was woven into his manhood.
Among life's most precious men,
cries are those of our growing
years. Later on. we can see how
Jesus mind was bright with mem
cries of home. The parallels of the
patched garment, of the leaven hid
den in the meal. of the poor wom-
an hunting with lamp for her one
lost coin, of the hungry neighbor
at midnight, of the son who said
II go" but did not go - these and
many others may well be echoes
of Jesus boyhood home Deeper
than these are Jesus habits of
prayer, his fondness for calling God
Father" his familiarity with
Scripture even in Deaths agony
here surely are patterns learned
in childhood's growing years.

But God did not plan it that way.
If the manhood of Jesus was to be
real, and not a hothouse facsimile,
he had to come up the hard way.
Angels do not grow they just are;
but human beings grow. The great
difference between Jesus and ordi-
nary mortals is not that they grow
and he did not; the difference is
that he grew straight.
