i_!“’"_ PHYSICIAN SPEAK ON HOSPITAL WORK Tells of Field Covered by In- sane Institution in Speech Before Club. Declaring that a great many persons, tncluding numbers of physiclans, have the wrong conception of the usages of & hospital, Dr. Willlam Mayne, clinic director of the Government Hospital for the Insane, addressed members of the Cosmopolitan Club at their weekly meeting in the New Hamllton Hotel Yesterday. “Many think a hospital is a group of buildings with a few doctors and nurses,” sald Dr. Mayne. “Whereas, in reality a hospital is an institution used to acquaint people with various treatments, the curing of the il or in- Sured and for research work."” Referring to the Government Hospital for the Insane, peaker said that at present it housed 200 Spanish-Ameri- can war veterans, 70 civil war veterans and 1,031 world war veterans, besides hundreds from the regular Army and Navy and about 3,000 private patients, making a total of more than 5,000. Records of Service. Dr. Mayne said that of the 1.234 Army men at the Institution from the beginning of the world war to 1919 61 were officers, 642 drafted men, 435 enlisted men and 96 from other branches of the service. Of that num- ber 121 were discharged as cured. One-third of this number saw service overseas, while only one-ninth saw gctual service in the trenche A short history of the hospital from its beginning in 1852 was glven by the speaker. He sald the oldest living patient was received in 1866, Since 1852 30,865 cases have been treated, said Dr. Mayne. The institution now °comprises ninety-six bulldings, with a valuation of $5.000,000, and covers 830 acres of ground. The staff is composed of 36 physicians, 1,161 general employes, 11 vocational training alds, 28 alds from the Federal Board of Vocational Training and several from the Vet- erans’ Bureau, according to figures glven by the speaker. “During a_single day,” continued Dr. Mayne, #4000 pounds of meat, 360 dozen eggs, 400 pounds of butter, 100 pounds of sugar, 2,150 pounds of po- tatoes, 3,200 loaves of bread and other foodstuffs are consumed. The hos- pltal uses about three tons of coffee a month. It operates its own electric, heating, ice and refrigerating plant Dr. Mayne stressed the need of higher pay for the physicians at the fnstitution. He sald the salaries range from $1,200 (plus maintenance and a bonus) to §2,600 a year. James Colliflower presided, and plans were announced by him for a night meeting to be held by the club next week, to he followed by another the week after, when a musical pro- gram will be presented, in observ- ance of music week. Boosters’ prizes were awarded to Charles Ruoff and Edward Minte, Gen. Stephan Addresses Kiwanis. Gen. Anton Stephan, head of the Dis- trict National Guard, and second vice president of the Kiwanls Club, addressed his fellow members at their weekly meeting in the Hotel Washington yes- terday. Gen. Stephan took as his subject “In- fantry Weapons in Modern Warfare,” and after explaining present-day at- tack and defense methods used by that branch of the service, he detailed the working of practically all arms used by the United States forces in the world war, with the assistance of a sergeant in the United States Army, who handled the arms. At the conclusion of his talk Gen. Stephan made an urgent plea that Ki- wanis do all in its power to frustrate any propaganda that might be used against the country's preparedness ac- tivities. “The safest preventlve of war is to be prepared to meet it, should it come, sald the officer. He asked that members send their sons to the citizens’ military training camps that will open through- out the country in June. 5 In the absence of Claude W. Owen, Frank L. Wagner presided. Kiwanian James Mays invited the club to visit Garfield Hospital May 12, which will be observed in the District as “Hos- pital day. oroptimists Entertain.

BY DAVID LAWRENCE. Postmaster General Harry New's hint in his Ohio speech that “the un- expected may happen” in the form of a reductlon of taxes next year is not bazed on any definite conclusion reached as yet by the fiscal officers of the government, but represents rather a tendency which may in the end Justify the prediction of lower taxes. It was learned today that officlals of the Treasury have for some months been thinking that they might recommend in the autumn a general reduction of taxes, but that they have not felt warranted in making any announcement along that line because the facts on which they can base a recommendation are not all available and there are some uncer- tain factors in the situation which must still be considered, Unquestionably the whole atmos- phere is one of optimism and hopeful- ness, not alone because of the knowi- edge that any reduction in taxes, however slight, would be welcomed by the American people, but because of the certain benefits that the politi- cal folk think would accrue if the re- publican party could enter the next campaign with a definite promise of lower rates. Two Reduction Theories, There are two theories on which re- duction of taxes will be made if the facts should be found to justify such a step. One s that the reduction al- ready made In the higher brackets of the surtax has proved that the gov- ernment gets more money by lower- ing the rates than by keeping them at a prohibitive position, which ren- ders no incentive to earn money for the federal government and diverts billions of capital into tax-free chan- nels such as municipal and state se- curities. The other theory s that a general reduction of all taxes irrespective of the returns from the higher surtaxes can be afforded by the federal gov- ernment because of the economles in federal expenditures as well as the Increased totals recelved through col- lectfons because of better business conditions. The Treasury i{s unable to complete its analysis until the returns are care- fully scrutinized. The job of sorting out the returns to determine how much from large concerns—all this is vital before any judgment can be formed as to the permanency of the revenue being recetved and whether a cut in taxes would be safe from a government standpoint. Favorable Psychology. On the subject of future business conditions, officials here are rather pleased at the psychological factors which now are operating to prevent inflation. They point out that in the last inflation period nobody gave a thought to the poseibility that good times might end; everybody went at full speed, belleving the boom period was of {ndefinite duration. Now, however, the numerous statements issued by leaders of industry and the_tendency of the public to refuse to bulld, for instance, while mate- rials are high or to buy commodities when prices reach prohibitive levels are their own best checks to infla- tlon. In fact, there is no longer any real fear here that the American peo- ple will find it necessary to deflate as painfully as in May, 1921. The outlook is regarded.as encourag- ng because finanalal operations are on a sounder basis and there is little de- pendence on forelgn demand as there as two years ago when a collapse in Europe had its reflex in curtaliment of business in America. It is felt that Eu- ropean affairs cannot get much worse ed that after such an act it would be impossible to continue negot tipns, whereupon the Dantzlg delega. i tion gave notice of its intention to lerve immediately. PRAISES CUB REPORTER. CHICAGO, May 11.—The cub re- porter was described as the corner atone of newspaper making by Frank W. Carson, managing editor of the Chicago Herald and Examiner, in an address last night before the stu- dents of the Medill school of jour- nalism of Northwestern University. The stride of woman reporters dur- ing the last few years in a field that had been almost barred to them in times past was described by mm af the remances of & and they might get betier. Broadly . speaking, the FPostmaster General in his Ohlo - speech was letting out of the bag a big political move which the administration hopes to let out of the bag next fall if conditions do not materfally change, but while it does look as If a reduction in taxes can be promised the Treasury is cautlously re. fraining from saying how much simply because it doesn’t want to see the public expectation raised to a high pitch only to meet disappointment if the revenues when anaiyzed do not justify much of a reduction. All that can be said now is that.if business conditions do not undergo a_material or: radical change for the Worse, a revision of the tax laws will be recommended by.

Brown to show cause May 25 why she should not respect a “No trespass” sign which her neighbor has placed on the latter's land. The rule followed the filing of an injunction suit by Avis M. Greene, who owns land adjoining the Brown tract in the White Haven subdivision, west of George- town. The plaintiff tells the court that after she had been in peaceful pos- session of her property for more than three years the defendant in- formed her that the henhouse, which had been on the site for fifteen years, must be removed. The defendant claimed it inter- fered with her right of way over the land of the plaintiff. When she had disregarded the request of her nelghbor, the plaintiff says, the defendant, July 17, 1922, foreibly entered upon her property, tore down the henhouse, destroyed the wire fencing, sawed oft the well- house posts, removed the well- house and the gate to the property and destroyed the “No trespass” sign. Her property has been dam- aged to the extent of $3.000, the plaintift states, and her neighbor has threatened to continue the al- leged trespass. POLICE CAPTAINCY LIKELY FOR LT. DEAN Veteran River Front Officer May Be Retired Shortly After Promotion. Lieut. Russell Dean, who has been in command of the harbor police pre- cinct for many years, is being favor- ably considered for promotion to cap- tain on July 1, when an additional position of that rank will be created, it was learned today. Reports at the District bullding are to the effect that the veteran com- mander of the river front probably will be retired soon if elevated to captain. A new police station Is to be erected before the end of this yvear at 17th street and Rhode Island avenue northeast. It cannot be completed. however, by July 1, when the new position of captain will be available. There are a number of other offi- cers being mentioned for the position of captain when another vacancy oc- curs, including Lieuts. Burlingame of the ninth precinct, Sprinkle of the eleventh and Glles of the Tenley- town substation. Lieut. C. L. Plemmons, now in charge of the detective bureau from 4 until 8 o'clock in the evening, is said to be slated for the captaincy made vacant this week by the retire- ment of Capt. E. J. Keefe. Detective Sergt. Fred Cornwell, in charge of the detective office after midnight, is belng mentioned for lieutenant. MERE MAN’S LEGS, ISSUE. Court to Pass on Elimination of Modern Movie View. NEW YORK, May 11.—The ques- tion whether mere man, whose op- portunities to display his own pul- chritude have been drastically lim- ited in modern times, can be exploit- ed on a New York state movie screen with his legs unsheathed is to be set- tled by the supreme court of the com- monweaith. The appellate division of the court has granted a writ requiring the state motion picture commission to submit for review a report of its or- der to delete & number of man and dog scenes from a motion picture re- leased by Pathe Exchange, Inc. The commission ordered the movie corporation to “eliminate all view of man's leg exposed where trousers are pulled by dog at dance.” The letter written by Mrs. Eli T. Hosmer, woman member of the commission, said such an exhibition would “tend to Incite to crime.” The "movie people’'s reply that “there is mo more reason for this elimination than for the elimination of a like or similar ex e of & | woman's leg” was filed other papere {n the court today.

Another day of many contributions to the Salvation Army's appeal for funds with which to carry on its re- llef work in the District was report- ed by Chalrman Rudolph Jose of the finance committee. “The response thus far has been most gratifying,” Mr. Jose said, “and it is amazing to note the large num- ber of one and five dollar bills we are now getting through the mail that we used to get during our office- to-office and theater drives. Norhave we been forgotten by the larger con- tributors.” Some Interesting facts regarding theorigin_of the army and its work in the District are contained In the annual report, just issued. Willlam Booth, the founder, was a Methodist preacher, who was stirred because the church'was not receiving all the people who needed the bene- fits of religion. He went to London and in the East End started a Chris- tian mission which should go out on the street with religion. During the past year the organiza- | tion here held 441 inside meetings, at which 29,000 persons were present. Fewer open-alr meetings were held, 394 in all. A careful count was kept of the attendance at these open-air meetings, which show a total of per- sons present, 45,644—practically dou- ble the atfendance of the Inside meetings. It is the hope of the finance com- mittee, as expressed this morning by Chairman Jose, that the public wiil not hold oft théir contributions awalt- ing a letter of request or personal solicitation, but mall them in direct to army headquarters, at 607 E street northwest.

WORKERS' PAY Ratings of City Officials Must Go to Board for Ap- proval. The federal classification board will have final say as to the new salaries to be recommended for city employes in the next estimates of the Commissioners, District officials stated today. Department heads are about to be- gin the task of allocating each of thelr employes to the appropriate grades fixed In the reclassification law, but the ratings of these officlals will have to go to the federal board for approval. Maj. Danlel J. Donovan, chalrman of the committee named by the Com- missioners to direct reclassification in the District building, has called a meeting of ‘department heads for 10 o'clock~ tomorrow morning in the board room, when he will outline to them how they should proceed. It is the plan of the District authori- ties to send to the federal board two r mmendations for each employe. One will be the rating given the employe by the bureau of efficiency two years ago and the other will be the rating which the department chief believes the em ploye is entitled to. The federal board then will decide which should be allowe. It is understood that the District offi- clals will allocate their employes to grades carrying higher salaries than were recommended by the bureau of efficiency. The claim is made at the Distri building that the bureau of effi ne only recommended increases to take t place of the $240 bonus, which will be discontinucd after this year. The argu- ment of the c authorities is tl alaries of District employes have less than similar workers ve in the federal departments and that the city employes, therefore, should be given higher ratings under the ro classification to put them on an equal footing with the federal service, Tabulation Sheets About Ready. ification sheets upon which tabulated information for the classification of the civilian personnel of the government of the District coming within the scope of ‘the per- onnel classification board, are ex- pected from the government printing office today or tomorrow.

Together with the intimation from the District classification committ:e that a general raise in salaries might result from the reclassification came the Indication from the personnel classification board a certain amount of increase in pay for the District employes would probably receive f. vorable consideration.

For the third time in its history the institute will present its gold me. to one of its members. The recipient will be Henry Bacon of New York, designer of the Lincoln Memo- rial. © The occasion and significance of the award furnished the inspira- tion for the impressive ceremonies which have been planned. The award of the medal will actually take place wlxrlxrin the portals of the building itself.

The Zoning Commission wants the citizens’ associations to come forward with their views on the proposal to prohibit the erection of apartment houses in nelghborhoods that have been zoned for detached and semi- detached structures. Commissioner Rudolph made -this statement at a public hearing of the commission yesterday afternoon, and it was decided to postpone considera- tion of the question until some time in June to obtain the views of tho community organizations. Lends Opposition to Change. Bates Warren, who led the oppo tion to the change, told the zoning commiesioners th should consider the question very carefully before taking such a sweeping step as to ban apartments in all sections_ that have been classed as “A" area. In an “A" area all buildings must be de- tached or semi-detached. Several residents of Cleveland Park appeared in support of the proposal to place a ban on apartments in A" areas. Mr. Warren suggested to the com- mission that the might adopt a modified rule prohibiting apartment in certain suburban parts of the area. Speaks for Architects. R. T. Beresford, speaking for t ‘Washington Chapter of the Americ: Institute of Architects, urged the commission to restudy the question and to consider the requirements of families with small children who want apartments where there would be vard space around the building. At this point the commission de- cided to defer further consideration until next month and to invite ex- pressions of opinion from other citi- zens' organizations. : commission at yesterday's ses- rd testimony on a long list of applications for changes in the of property in all parts of the city.
