Miss Latimer notes that Washing- ton has been kept from developing as an industrial center, which makos the rank and file of the city unable to bear the burden of a capital. Fur- the street plan is on a great scale, with unusual width of | thoroughfares, and with an unusual | abundance of foliage. These factors | add to the cost of maintenance, The | author quotes from an article by | Chief Justice Taft, in which, after showing the conditions that make for an expensive municipality, he con- cludes: “Hence it is that even the half and half leaves Washington u rather heavily taxed municipalty.” Mentioning that investigating com- | mittees of Congress have reported | that anything less than a 50-50 basis | of appropriations is unfair to the citizens of the District, with no change of conditions since those re- ports were made, Miss Latimer calls attention to the fact that a steady further reduction of the proportion is taking place in two ways. Kach year some item of District expendi- ture is required to be taken out of District taxes only, and. furthermore, Congress has provided that the Unit- ed States shall receive 40 per cent of the revenues of certain District in- stitutions heretofore all received by the District as its part of the rev- enue required for maintenance, these items including court fines, elevator operator permits, licenses of all sorts, rents and motor vehicle ta She states that it has been estimated that the United States is actually con- tributing only from 33 to 35 per cent of the cost of the District of Colum- bia. She says: Shows District’s Side. Since it is well for the American | citizen to ask himself why should he contribute 5o large a sum to the up- keep of the National Capital, it is de- sirable for the Washingtonian to also ask why he should be called upon to support 65 per cent of a national dis. trict, not a city, but a district, and also to contribute as an American to his share of the 85 per cent of the cost of maintaining the District of Columbia. He should ask himself also what is the effect on his own purely local concerns of this method of sup- port. He would find on_looking into the matter that the carefully prepared estimates of the District departments are annually slashed to such an ex- tent that the city is meagerly sup- ported. He would find the streets and roads of the National Capital, his home city, 80 poor that thay contrast sharply with the roads of Maryland, which they meet in every direction, He would find the public schools and all other municipal institutions cut to the bone and hampered in their legi- timate work for the community. These two interested groups, the peo- ple of the country and the people of Washington, should get together amd ask themseives: Is the Congress of the nation expressing the will of the country to the people of (he Capital, ] | cure | Hospital, 14 who are entirely help themselves? Seex Time Critien “A critical time has come for Wash- ington. With the present system and ratio of support she can neither be maintained as a suitable National Capital, in which case the people of the District will increasingly be denied suitable service from its mu- nicipal government, or the people will sive support for their loyal insti- s and the National Capital will bby. This much is sure, for the present appropriations cannot do both. The effort to make what cannot be, be, is the cause of a continual and unnecessary irritation between the Congress the people of the Dis- trict.

This would only make the conditions worse | at present, when there is hope of an upstanding American political status for the citizens.

The_program for the day includes music by the Army Band from 2 to n. Visitors will have an oppor- tunity to view occupational therapy work and to see how the government physically rehabilitates its disabled veterans, says Dr. Dunlap P. Pen- hallow, medical officer in charge, May 3 is observed in Washington as National Hospital Day and closes the exercises of health week Hsopital No. 32, is the only Vet- erans' Bureau Hospital situated in Washington. Beneficiaries of the United States Veterans’ Bureau, how- ever, are hospitalized at Walter Reed and the Naval hospitals, but Mt. Alto Hospital is primarily for the care of disabled ex-service men and 98 per cent of the patients in this hospital are veterans of the late war, the other 2 per cent being Spanish War veterans. Used as Diagnostic Center. This hospital is used essentially by the bureau as a diagnostic center and the patients come from nearly all states in the Union. In addition to being equipped for diagnostic pur- poses, this hospital is fully prepared to render treatment to the various classes of medical and surgical con- ditiens which it has to handle. The hospital has a complete operating room, an_ear, eye, nose and throat clinic, and X-ray laboratory, a clini- cal laboratory, a large dental clinic, a_room for basal metabolism and a physiotherapy department. y A large out-patient clinic is also conducted here as men are refererd from the dispensary for X-ray ex- amination, for dental treatments and for various laboratory examinations, and ear, eye, nose and throat work and physiotherapy treatments. There is also a complete shop for making all types of orthopedic appliances. This shop serves not only this ‘hos- pital, but also the whole of the fourth distriet, comprising the District of Columbia, Maryland, ~Virginia and West Virginia. Men Tnught Handicraft. There are shops and classrooms in which the men are taught various forms of handicraft, such as wood- working, metal work, weaving and leather work, and some of this work is also carried on in the wards with those men who are unable to go to the shops. The men are taught stenography and typewriting, and various other commercial subjects. At present the hospital is being in- creased by the addition of new quar- ters for the attendants, and a new recreation hut is being built, which will contain better arranged class- rooms and shops for occupational therapy as well as a large audi- torium In which various recreational activities may be held. There will also be pool and billiard tables. A new nurses' home is also_ being planned, and when this is. finished the building, which is now occupled by them, will be converted into a surgical ward, and will thus increase the capacity of The hospital to about two hundred and fifty beds.
