Sales Tax Is Backed
By North Cleveland
Park Citizens
. .—v.
Privilege Levy and
Patman Measure
Disapproved
The North Cleveland Park Citi
zens’ Association last nigfrt ex
pressed approval of a District sales
tax and disapproved the business
privilege tax and the. Patman chain
store tax bill.
Joseph S. Stern, in advocating
that the' group reiterate its approval
of a sales tax, declared: “I think
the sales tax plan is the most equita
ble one possible.” Mr. Stern fur
ther stated the plan has worked so
well in West Virginia that the buy
ing public is hardly aware of the
imposition of such a tax. F. L.
Barkley dfclared that the District
must either have a sales tax or the
business privilege tax. and the for
mer is more acceptable.
Opposing the business privilege
tax, M. E. Roberts said it is the
most unjust tax ever levied upon
citizens of Washington. He declared
a business may lose money and still
be required to pay a large tax.
A resolution was adopted instruct
ing the delegates to the Federation
of Citizens' Associations to vote for
the sales tax and against the busi
ness privilege tax.
The question of an intangible tax
and a general income tax was re
ferred to the Committee on Taxa
tion for consideration and discussion
at a later date.
Voicing opposition to the Patman
bill. J. B. Dickman, jr., president
of the association, said the chain
store system is advantageous to the
consumers. He added that the form
of tax imposed by the bill gives rise
to business class discrimination. It
is obvious. Mr. Dickman continued,
that the ultimate end of this tax
will be the breaking up of the chains
rather than the raising of revenue
Robert L. Risdon said imposition
of such a tax would force the chain
stores to either close many of their
stores or lease them to the man
agers, both of which would work
to the consumers' disadvantage.
Mr. Risdon said leasing of stores
would necessitate a raise in prices,
and their closing would inconven
ience the public.
A communication will be ad
dressed to the Capital Transit Co.
requesting that the bus which now
stops at Wisconsin avenue and Reno
road be stopped at Wisconsin avenue
and Van Ness street, as passengers
now alight in the path of traffic.
Thr company is further requested
to have the bus marked Twentieth
and Constitution avenue go to this
point instead of stopping at Eigh
teenth street.
Upon the resignation of H. P.
Locke as delegate to the federation,
the members voted unanimously in
favor of the appointment of Mr.
Dickman to fill the vacancy.
The association was informed that
a letter had been received notify
ing the association that President
Roosevelt would be pleased by the
interest of the group in the ap
pointment of a new District com
missioner. The citizens are advo
cating the appointment of J. B.
Dickmarr.
John B. Burgess was elected a
member of the associatiqp.
Measles. Cycle Makes
Epidemic Due Next Year
If the District s measles cycle con
tinues to hold true. Health Officer
George C. Ruhland looks for an epi
demic of the disease in Washington
next year.
Pointing out that the cycle has
brought an epidemic every twb or
three years since 1920, Dr. Ruhland
yesterday warned parents to be on
the watch for early symptoms of
the disease and to call a physician
immediately.
According to Dr. C. C. Dauer,
Health Department epidemiologist,
there was a comparatively severe
epidemic in 1934, a relatively large
number of cases in 1936 and 1937,
and a comparatively small num
ber in 1935 and 1938. He added that
it is reasonable to assume that the
incidence in 1939 will be at least
greater than in 1938. He said he
felt, however, that there w'ould not
be a "severe” epidemic next year.
The health officer said the notion
that every child must have measles
sometime or other is “absurd.”
Early attention and the proper use
of serums will offset the disease and
certainly make it a mild case in the
event of infection,” he declared.

When all the world will forget.
Not now. but In the coming years.
It may be in the better land.
We ll read the meaning of our tears—
Up there, some time, we’ll understand.

Church Is Thronged
For Funeral of
James A. Edgerton
Services at All Souls
Commemorate Leader's
Life and Work
Friends and neighbors thronged
All Souls Unitarian Church, Six
teenth and Harvard streets N.W.,
yesterday afternoon for services in
commemoration of the life and work
of James Arthur Edgerton, New
Thought leader, Prohibition-Labor
candidate for Vice President of the
United States, journalist , author and
business executive.
The rites began with the recital
of the Unitarian invocation for the
dead by the Rev. Dr. Ulysses G. B.
Pierce, minister of All Souls, spoken
as the funeral procession entered the
church.
After the congregation had joiped
in the Lord's Prayer, Dr. Pierce read
Scripture verses concerning the im
mortality of the spirit, and Miss
Fleurette Joffrie sang “O Love That
Will Not Let Me Go."
Dr. Fox Is Eulogist.
Then Dr. Pierce, explaining that
“he being dead yet speaketh,” quoted
from one of Mr. Edgerton's poems,
entitled: “If I Could Sing the Song
Within My Heart.”
Dr. Emmet Fox, minister of the
Church of the Healing Christ, New
York, was the eulogist. “Because
God is love,” he said, "there is no
death. Our friend passes from our
sight for the moment, but we shall
meet him again. He was a man who
lived not for himself, but for the
help and enlightenment of others.
If he fought for unpopular causes,
that was sincere service indeed. He
believed in the fatherhood of God,
the brotherhood of man and the
essential unity of God and man: and
for this faith he lived and worked.
There are many people who are
better for his labors; he left the
world a great deal better than he
found it. New Thought, as he
taught it, centers in the idea of the
love of God and the power of prayer.
His writings and his teaching con
i tradicted death. Love never dies,
| and he would wish me to tell you
that on this occasion.”
Lodge Pays Respect.
Before the benediction members of
La Fayette Lodge, No. 19, F. A. A. M..
paid their respects to Mr. Edgerton's
memory, filing past his casket as it
lay, covered with roses and sur
rounded by a wealth of other flowers,
before the pulpit.
Honorary pallbearers were: Sec
retary of Commerce Daniel C. Roper,
former Third Assistant Postmaster
Robert S. Regar, former Representa
tive W. D. Jamieson, Huston Thomp
son, former special assistant to the
Attorney General; Elmer E. Rogers,
special aide to the grand commander
of the Scottish Rite; Benjamin M.
McKelwav, managing editor of The
Star; Strickland Gillilan, Dr. Wil
liam L. Robins, Charles F. Anderson
and Harry Gaze.

The Advertising Story of
The “Good Old Mouse Trap'3
There are many morals attached to little
stories that were told in days long past;
some of them still hold good but many
do not because of changes in conditions.
For instance, many business men still
hang their hats on the old “mousetrap
story,” told by John Ruskin in a chapter
of American history long gone . . . and
as a consequence, they are not successful.
True, there was a day when quality was
king—when the public might expect
wide differences in products priced alike.
There was a day when “the buyer be
ware” was the rule and good products
were rare. In that day, the man who
could build a better mouse trap could
really expect the world to beat a path to
his door. But NOT today. Competition
keeps quality equivalent today and suc
cessful operation begins and ends with
advertising, the greatest selling force
known. Today, the man who makes or
sells a good product and keeps it a secret
. . . just sits on his doorstep, forced to
watch the world pass by on its way to
the door of a competitor who advertises.
People like to read the stories which ad
vertising tell; untold stories never reach
any audience!
★ Phone National 5000; your call will
bring an Evening Star representative
to help you with your advertising prob
lems; he will show you HOW to adver
tise more effectively, more economically
and ... with GREATER results.
