This strange and remarkable wo man has set the world of science agpg. Her asfiunding accnmp’bh ments in Astrology and readings have brought remarkable results as to leave one amazed and confounded.

In one instance she was called upon to aid Dean Ramey, famous criminal lawyer of New York, who was attempting to save the life of a convict who had stabbed two guards in a New York jail and kil led another. The peculiarity of this case lay in the fact that all of his assaults and robberies took place one and the same day in the year.

Definite proof of her astound ing powers are to be had for the asking. Zulieka will appear in per son on the stage of the Dolly Madi son Theatre for a special engage ment of one week, commencing Monday, and will answer all gues tions pertaining to anything you may want to know. PREVENTABLE DEATHS CLAIM MANY INFANTS Dr. Hudson Givosi Statistics Showing Death Rate Re duction Possible TOTAL IS 83 FOR 1936 Premature births and congenital malformations, especially of the' heart, are the leading causes of t death in Greensboro of babies un-j der one year of age, according to the records of Dr. C. C. Hudson, city health officer, which re vealed that of the 83 infant deaths here during 1936, there were 22 of babies less than one day old. ! In addition to these 22, there were 16 who lived less than one week, and 12 who died before they were a month old. Os the 83 deaths, 19 were of par ents living outside the city leaving a total of 64 resident infant deaths. The entire list included 54 white babies and 20 negro babies. In all, there were 1,205 babies born in the city during 1936. and 83 deaths setting an infant death rate of 58.4 among the white babies, and 103.2 among the negro babies, the rate being figured on the basis of each 1,000 births. In the cases of those babies that died within a few days after birth, the majority were so weak because of premature birth or malformation they were unable to digest food due to functional incapacities. In fact, 52 per cent of all the deaths under one year of age was due to some 'orm of weakness at birth. Thirty of the deaths were direct ly due to premature birth, three from injury at birth, five from con genital weakness, one from lung weaknes, two from jaundice of the oewly born, seven from congenital malformation of the heart and four from other malformations.

' <D UNIVERSAL MKWSRBBL-NSWS WBBK SHE WON’T FORGET HER SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER Tattooing had become almost a lost art until careful holders of Social Security cards decided to adopt it as a means of incorporating their numbers indelibly as part of their cuticle. Diarrhea and enteritis, or sum mer complaints, were responsible for 16 other deaths, around half oi which were of babies brought ir from outside the city. Death from this cause were higher than usua last year because of the unusually hot summer, it was pointed out. Emphasis was placed on the fact that a number of the deaths might have been prevented had hospital care been available and many of the weaknesses in the children might have been warded off by proper pre-natal care of the mother. There are always some deaths from weakness and malformations at birth, especially of congenital syphilis, but the number can be re duced to considerable extent, Dr. Hudson asserted. The present death rate among the babies under one year of age is satisfactory in the light of contin ued improvements made during the past several years, but there is still a substantial margin of preventable deaths, Dr. Hudson said. The death rate among both the white and negro babies should be below 50 per 1,000 births to compared with the better standards achieved in cities where adequate care and at tention has been provided, it wa stated. o Lewis Hawkins, agricultural ex pert in the Kansas City stockyards believes the 1937-calf crop will de velop satisfactory and be some what above that of 1936. g^MGTON fi • UNITED STATES SENATOR * it * * It * M . .It is now evident that our people are becoming tax-conscious. This usually happens when citizens gen erally begin to ask whether they are receiving full return for their tax dollars.

Phone 97 GENERAL MOTORS TRUCKS {.TRAILERS uncertainty exists, particularly in business and industrial circles, that will not be fully removed until Federal policies are well-defined, until Federal expenditures are fix ed, and until some assurance is giv en tax-burdened citizens with re- , gard to the taxes they will pay in the future. No better evidence of this can be ; found than the fact that: “behind he scenes,” experts on taxation in both the executive and legislative branches of the government ■ are hard-pressed to suggest new sources for revenue should Federal expenditures exceed budget esti- . mates. Here is also evidence that , fax reservoirs have been tapped almost to the limit. Several things stand out, First, that iin the scramble for revenue, all agencies of government have adopted the course of least resist ance and levied taxes that would bring a minimum of protests; Second, that while rates of taxation have been steadily increased, there has not been a corresponding in crease in tax receipts, and third many new taxes have bean impose, which, to say the least, are of ex tremely doubtful merit. About 150 years ago, a famous writer on economics laid down four principles to which taxation should conform. They are as fol lows: “People should be taxed as nearly ( as possible in proportion to their respective abilities, all taxes shou'd be <?f finite and dnt uncertain or arbitrary; they ought to be levied | at the time and in the manner which causes the least inconvenience to the I people, and they should be so con trived as to take out of the pockets of the people as little as possible over what is needed by the Public Treasury.” Instead, of following these sound methods, taxes have been too often levied on the principle of getting the most money with the least trouble. In a report made to the House Ways and Means Committee, which is charged with initiating all rev enue-raising legislation, appears this pertinent paragraph: if your income had dropped like Electric Rates You’d be riding in a strip down \ The average person is making as much (or more) money now than before the depression, but suppose your income had dropped like the average cost of domestic service? You’d be earning more than 55% less today than you earned in 1925. Although the cost of living has gone up as salaries and wages have been restored, the cost of electric service is less than ever before. » Relative prices of Cost of Living in United States and Average Cost of Residence Electricity to Cestomera of Carolina Power St Light Company.

It seems proper to conclude that this situation must be remedied at an early date, if the financial stability of our government is to be preserved.” Throughout the report in quest ion, is much comment with refer ence to the need of reducing Fed eral expenditures as a sound ap proach to the tax problem. In fact, ■the President has placed the current situation squarely before the Cong ress and warned that expenditures beyond budget estimated must be accompanied by new revenue. It is to be earnestly hoped that new taxes can be postponed until 1938 and tax revision carried through on a sound and equitable basis. This hope is shared by leaders in Cong ress.
