LMOST immediately last night A Grace La Mar became one sudlence with the greatest ease and wvident delight. i3 The program, augmented by such satisfying encores as ‘“Moon-Mar- keting,” by Powell Weaver (& song Which should be more familiar than it 18), included the Mozart “Parto ,” two Schubert and two Strauss songs, of which “Zueignung” was perhaps the most stirring; the brief Respighi “Scherzo,” Longas’ | “Tes Yeux” and the Guion “Mam- selle Marie,” which became one of the most potently wistful song ex- pressions of the season. This ability to make much of a of this city's favorite re- citalists. A lady of gracious personality and _generous talents—as also a former Washing- tonian—Miss La Mar, presented in recital by Mr. and Mrs. Walter Nash at the Caroline McKinley Stu- dios before an New Poutm When Packed Four tax appeal cases were decided today by the District Court cf App:als, | which revereed the action of the Board | audience of dis- of Tax Appeals in two cases and affirm- | tinguished local ed it in the other two. i Your Last Opportunity to Buy David Burnet, commissioner of in- | e il LS ternal revenue, sought to reverse the action of the Board of Tax Appeals overturning his ruling that Edgar L Marston, & former member of the New York firm of Blair & Co., was not en- titled to charge off in his 1923 tax re- | turn losses of $92,10252 sustained in 1922 when liquidating $725,473.99 of the debts of the dissolved firm. Marston's income for the year was $633,371.47. Board's Action Sustained. In sustaining the board's action, Jus- tice Charles H. Robb pointed out that section 204 of the act of 1921 was in- tended to permit taxpayers who sus- tained large losses in one year to spread them over two suceeding years and the fact that Marston paid the loss in 1922 instead of 1920, the year sustained, did not deprive him of the benefit of sec- tion 204. s ‘The board’s action was also sustained tn a decision by Justice D. Lawrence Groner, holding that the Westmoreland Specialty Co. of Pennsylvania was not | entitled to deduct $30,800, representing the par value of 308 shares of its stock issued to its president in January, 1922, he most pro- the one of satisfying grams of year. { It was not & question merely of vocal com- i g mand, breath | § control pitch, i strength and a | ‘ soaring quality which evoked the gl;uus; :g- miration of e Grace La Mar. ‘audiencs, but rather of that rare combination of “voice” and personality and that in- dication of scholarliness which, cloaked under the guise of effort- lessness, seemed scarcely to be the wisdom which it was. Miss La Mar did much more than sing. She had a warm tone at her beck and call, | an easy register to command, but, above all, an understanding of her song material which she gave to her who will represent Arlington County in the Virginia_ district fimals of the Na- | tional Oratorical Contesf, it was an- nounced today. The Corators—three girls and four boys—were chosen after preliminary | public speaking on constitutional sub- | jects in all the English classes of the school.

Vanderslice, principal of the | school, will preside at the contest in the | | school auditorium. The judges will be | Norman Nelson, assistant principal of | Western High School here; Francis A. | Woodward, principal of Gordon Junior | High School, and Miss Sue H. Gardner of the Western faculty. Contestants will be Miss Zella Hen- derson, Miss Audrey Graninger and Miss | Eunice Green and John Rixse, jr.; Ed- win Scheid, Warren Dodd and Smith Rucker, jr. The winner will go to the Virginia finals at Maury High School, Alexandria, on April 22. little song is one of Miss La Mar's greatest attributes. Although as yet some of her very highest notes are grappled for rather than struck, and although the Mozart number was not quite what it should have been, she nevertheless offered her audi- ence an interesting and stimulating recital, which was further distin- guished by the presence of Gertrude Nash at the piano.

COX VOICES SUPPORT OF SALES TAX PLAN Calls “Unpopular Levy” Necessary in View of Existing Credit Emergency. By the Associated Press. MIAMI BEACH, Fla, March 14— Urging Democrats of the Nation to §00,000 GRANITE SOON T0 BE PLACED Grant Will Invite Bids on Con- tract for Arlington Bridge Project. Granite, valued at $500,000, will soon be placed in position at the east end of Arlington National Cemetery, as part of the Arlifigton Memorial Bridge project. Col. U. S. Grant, 3d, executive offi- cer of the Arlington Memorial Bridge Commission, said he would call for bids in two weeks. The contract for put- ting the granite blocks into position | and fitting the masses of whitish stone together to form the pretentious struc-| ture, will be the last stage of work at the cemetery. nder the direction of Maj. D. H Gilllette and John L. Nagle, designing engineer of the bridge, the engineers are now completing the blueprints and specifications. From the hemicycle roads will lead up through the ceme- rally to the support of their congres- sional leaders for speedy enactment of an emergency tax program, former Gov. James M. Cox of Ohio last night issued a statement from his Winter home here, The former Democratic presidential nominee said: “The sales tax is said to be unpop- ular What tax is popular? Some oppose it because it is a levy upon con- sumpiion. What, save the income tax, is not? And unless something is done about business, the income tax will give small relief. “After all, it is sought to promote buginess by restoring confidence. Upon business thus created there will be placed this tax, only so long as the emergency exists. “We do not want it said that when crisis came the democracy failed to exhibit those qualities necessary in an emergency. Speaker Garner's sensible, courageous leadership has done much to inspire the confidence which the party now enjoys. The Speaker, with the conspicuously able support of Chairman Rainey and Acting Chair- man Crisp, realizes that preconceived theories of taxation often are tempo- forced aside under the demands of grave conditions.” LAUDS SCOUT TROOPS ALLIED TO CHURCHES Wyland Says They Have Longer Life and More Constant Leader- ship Than Others. Boy Scout troops which are associ- ated with churches have a longer life and a more constant leadership than any other type of troop, Ray O. Wy- land, director of education of the Na- tional Council, Boy Scouts of America, told a conference of local Scout leaders yesterday afternoon at the Y. M. C. A. suditork um. The speaker pointed out that while scouting is a character-forming influ- ence during a trying period of a boy's life, the church “will carry an individ- ual from the cradle to the grave.” Mr. ‘Wyland seid that headquarters of Scout has been established in the church and engage them in its working program.” “The greatest reason for relating Becout troops to churches,” Mr. Wyland continued, “is found in the basic need of our country for God-fearing “men. Mankind has not yet discovered a way to develop and maintain a highly cul- ed society on nng1 ::ner basis than deep religious convictions and high moral standards.” & LECTURES ON DISTRICT GOVERNMENT OPEN TODAY Civic Leaders Will Attend First of Series at National University.
