Learning to Cook Preferable to Vot-

House, He Declares.

A delegate or representative ap
pointed by the President to represent
the people of the District of Columbia
in the House is the best solution of the
problem confronting Washington
in regard to legislation for their city,
according to William F.. GUIDE, chair
man Of the subcommittee on law and
legislation OF the Chamber of Com
merce appointed to take up the con-
sideration of this problem.
cat present I would prefer having
such a delegate appointed by the Presi-
dent, instead Of elected to the House."
said Mr.. GUIDE today. THAT, of course.
Is only my personal opinion. for the
subcommittee has not been selected
yet. 1 expect the committee will be ap-
pointed within a day or two and that
we will hold a meeting later in the
week"
Curry's Proposed Plan.
Mr.. Guides attention was called to
bill introduced in the House Just before
the close of the last session Of Congress
by Representative Curry Of New Mex
leo. which provides for the election of
a delegate to represent the people OF the
District in thaHouse. this delegate mere
ly to have the privilege of taking part
in the debates on the floor Of the House
and OF being a member OF the House
District committee. The same measure
provides for the suffrage OF women as
well as men in the election of the Dis
trict's delegate to the House.
Mr.. Guide said that he would favor
giving the Districts representative In the
House just as much power as any of the
other members OF that body.
Give him the vote, as wen as the DOW
er to debate said Mr.. GUIDE. land he
will be just that much more effective in
the interests of the District.
Woman's Duty at Home.
"Even IL It is decided that such a rep
resentative should be elected by the resi-
dents of the District, and not appointed
by the President, / am not at all sure
that would favor giving the women the
ballot Let the women learn to cook
a good dinner and enjoy their work
about the home before they begin gad-
ding about and voting for representa-
tives. The women of this country and
city could well take a leaf out of the
book of the women Of Germany, who
are good housewives. / am not in favor
OF making slaves of women, but I do
think that a woman should feel the re-
sponsibility of the home and take an
interest in her work.
IF the girls Of today were taught to
cook and made to work about their
homes we would have less drunkenness
tional Capital" concluded Mrs. GUIDE,
