Relief Payments
Increase Today

District relief recipients will
begin receiving larger checks to-
day.
An increase of 8 per cent on
the average had been voted by
the District Commissioners. eff
fective January /. The larger
checks were put in the mail yes
terday.
The average monthly pay
ments to various groups receiving
public assistance has been in
creased as follows:
Old-age assistance, from S52.34
to $3.50: aid to dependent chill
dren. from $105.56 to $l12.93:
aid to the blind. from $50 to
$64.20; aid to the totally dis
abled. from $61.87 to $685.:
general public assistance, from
$3.50 to $65.74.
Welfare Director Gerard NJ
Shea had asked the Commission
'ers to increase payments from
the old average of rs per cent
of minimum subsistence stand
aids to IS per cent. The Com
missioners approved an increase
to SO per cent. With higher
Federal matching funds. the
average increase to recipients
will average ga per cent.
At the same time. the Com
imissioners ordered the Welfare
Department to make a complete
review of its formula for deter
mining welfare needs. The sur
Ivey is now under way.
The larger checks will not
materially increase District costs,
because larger Federal grants
and a decline in the relief case
load will take up most of the
slack.

the assembly did not act until
the orders were entered by Judge
John Paul in the Charlottesville
case and Judge Albert v. Bryan
in the Arlington case.
Doesn't Nullify Rules
However. the courts opinion
quoted from Judge Bryan's order
which said that his Injunction
shall not be construed as nulli-
flying any State or local rules,
now in force or hereafter pro-
mulgated, for the assignment of
children to classes, courses Of
study or schools. SO long as such
rules or assignments are not
based upon race or color"
But the circuit court noted in
another connection that equity
does not require the doing Of
a vain thing as a condition Of
relief"
The appeals court rejected the
three major contentious of the
State and the two localities.
These were Cd whether the &C
ton should have been dis
missed as suits against the
State; % whether the plain.
tiffs had failed to exhaust adj
ministrative remedies, and CD
whether there was an abuse Of
discretion by the lower courts
in entering the injunctive
orders.
No Complaints Seen
1--WE see nothing in these
DEGREES of which defendants can
complain" ssaid the opinion by
Judge Parker in which Judges
Morris A. Soper and Simon E.
Sibeloff concurred. THE de-
crees do not attempt to direct
the school officials as to how
they shall perform their duties
or exercise the discretion vested
in them by law, but simply for
bid them to discriminate against
the plaintiffs or other Negro
children similarly situated on
the ground of race or color in
violation of their rights. :"

More than half the deaths
among District residents last
year resulted from cancer and
cardiovascular diseases - all
ments of the aged-Health Di-
rector Daniel l.. Seckinger re-
ported today.
At the same time. infectious
diseases which once ranked as
major killers in their attacks
on young people. continued a
dramatic decline in the mortali-
ty tables.
In his annual report on pro-
visional death rates for the Cap
ital, DR.. Seckinger said the
statistics demonstrate that in
creasing attention must be
given the problems of aging
and senility."
tuberculosis Deaths Rise
The last year showed a slight
increase in tuberculosis deaths,
with that disease accounting for
1876 of the 1888 deaths.
But other infectious diseases
were responsible for only n
deaths, and there were none from
SUCH previous killers as polio,
diphtheria. whooping cough, ty-
phoid fever and infectious hepa-
tits.
Cardiovascular diseases showed
a slight decrease during the year.
from $3.50 to 1921 deaths. But
all forms of cancer accounted for
l,400 deaths, an increase of
about 100 over the previous year.
The death rate from all causes
for the year was ga per 1000
population-the same level reg
istered in 1854 and a slight de-
crease from the 1855 rate.
High Birth Rate
One of the more hopeful signs,
Dr.. Seckinger said. was con-
tinuing drop in the infant NOR
tally rate. Among this group,
1856 saw 1877 deaths per 1000
live births. as against a 3l.2 rate
in 1865.

that led to a conversation
about apartment buildings.

The
Rambler
Now He's Strictly
Mun-About-Town
BY JACK JONAS

The holiday season, with
its gay parties, can be trying,
particularly for bachelors in
this hamlet of so many I'M
attached women.
Any hostess worthy of an
etiquette handbook must
always invite a few bachelor
girls to her soirees, and this,
of course, means they must be
transported home, if they can
ever be persuaded to leave.
This, we understand, is
often a pleasant gallantry to
undertake. But sometimes it
can turn out the way a fellow
was telling it at a blowout the
other night.
At another so-called social
gathering, he said, he had
danced several times with an
attractive unattached damsel,
and as the hour grew late, he
offered to take her home. She
accepted. he recalls, with
almost suspicious alacrity.
You will have to give me
directions" he said, as they
got into his car.
Go out Constitution ave-
nue." she said. Then, later,
Turn left here and cross
Memorial Bridge" And, at
the end of the bridge, Turn
right here"
That put them on Virginia's
Route so. He drove along,
and the miles, with his I'M
easiness, began to pile up.

JUST WHERE do you live?"
he asked gently.

ne asked gently.
Winchester" she said.
Winchester" he shouted.
After he recovered from the
initial shock he told her,
young lady, I ought to take
you right back where I got
you. But I'm going to surprise
you.
"A friend of mine died in
Winchester the other day and
he's being buried tomorrow. l
should have planned to
attend, but didn't. Now I'm
going!
There was little conversa-
ton during the remainder of
the drive to Winchester. He
took the young lady home.
Then he got hotel room, left
a call for nine o'clock in the
m 0 r min g-by then only a
couple of hours away-and
went to bed.
Next morning he stumbled
bleary eyed into the dining
room. plopped down at 4 table
and tried to focus on the
menu.
And what will you have,
Sir?" the waitress asked,
brightly.
He looked up, blinked, shook
his head, stared at the menu
again and tried to bury his
face in it.
Again he peered up slowly,
this time over the edge of the
menu, and again he blinked
and shook his head.
Am l never" he groaned,
ito be rid of you?"
The waitress, of course, was
the young lady he'd taken
home.
