Members OF the Woman's Welfare De-
partment OF the National Civic Federation
made vigorous appeal for congressional
restriction Of the loan shark evil at an
enthusiastic meeting today at the British
embassy, and pledged themselves to make
personal canvass Of Congress in order
that there may be no doubt as to the
passage of the loan shark bill, which
Will be before the House next Monday.
Representative julius Kahn of Cali
fornia. one Of the speakers, declared that
he will bring the bill to vote in the
House and that he will cause to be In
Produced an amendment to the original
bill placing the rate Of interest at per
cent q month, rather thai, at 1 per cent
per month, as the bill now stands.
He declared that he had seen Minority
Leader Mann in regard to the interest
amendment and said that they had
agreed to call for a separate vote on the
amendment. and. II possible, have the
DILL pass the House with the per cent
rate. He urged the women to "pick orr
members OF Congress, and do everything
IN ineir power, by seeing them personally
or by addressing them letters. to stir IN
sentiment in favor Of the bill.
Arthur III. Ham. director Of the division
OF remedial loans of the Russell Sage

slayer of Capt. A. G. BOyce, was re-
sumed this noon, the defense placed

Gets Unreasonable Tribute.

1.-The loan shark. in his arrogant disre-
gard Of human rights, continues in most
cities to exact unreasonable tribute from
the wretched men caught in his net"
Mr.. Ham said. Laws are constantly and
uniformly evaded, ignored and defied. The
government officials and legislators have
repeatedly announced their intention to
drive the loan shark out Of existence.
Grand juries have time and time again
returned indictments against them, but
still they exist. The complexity of the
problem has been intensified by indica-
tons of wholesale legislative corruption,
collision of officers of the law and con-
nivance of city employees holding positions
of authority"
Mr.. Ham cited cases that have occurred
in Washington, some among government
employees, where money has been bor-
roWed at the rate Of 40 per cent, 1872
per cent and $50 per cent per annum,
eating up the wages of the victims, who
can never pay the interest, let alone the
principal.
One direct result Of the loan system is
to decrease the industrial efficiency and
to increase the number Of suicides. he
said. States are realizing the necessity
of enforcing laws restricting the loan
business, he said. and already twenty-five
states considered the matter last year.
while New York, New Jersey, Ohio and
other states are taking II up now.
Representative Kahn drew the hne be-
tween the loan shark and the pawn
dealer and declared that the 2 per cent
law would hit the '1oan shark" harder
than tho present rate Of interest does the
,pawnbroker. because the pawnbroker in
sists on more substantial security.

Mrs. Taft Attends.

Mrs. Bryce. wife Of Ambassador Bryce
welcomed the members and declared she
was heartily in sympathy with the move
ment
Mrs. William Howard Taft was a men,
Der Of the distinguished gathering, which
included Mrs. John Hays Hammond and
other prominent club women. Mrs. Archi-
bald Hopkins, chairman of the District
body. presided and urged the members
to PICK out members Of Congress and
urge them to work for the passage Of the
bill.
Mr.. Ham advanced three substitutes
Tor the loan shark" evil. First, to secure
the passage Of congressional bill that
Will put back the rate Of interest to 2 per
cent q month: second, to give moral and
financial support to such organizations as
tie Society Of Savings and, third, the
establishment Of cooperative associations
for savings and loans among the clerks
In the government departments In Wash
ington.
Mr.. Ham declared that the greatest
evil Of the system in Washington is
shown among the government clerks, and
vigorously urged the establishment Of CO.
operative associations that would give
higher rates Of interest on money invest
ed than the banks give, and which would
loan money at small rates of interest in
cases where 1t is absolutely needed. This
system, he declared, would not only teach
habits of thrift to the government clerks,
but would work to better conditions.
Mr.. Ham said that today there are
twenty-one loan societies that have
banded together into a national fedora
ton or remedial loan institution. with a
capital Of $4,000, 900, for the purpose Of
enabling needy persons to secure tempo
rary loans at a decidedly small rate Of in
terest.
Because Of the District law which part
ly protects the "loan shark who does
business Of 100000 annually. he said.
the local Society for Savings has not
been wholly successful. He declared that
If the people insisted on pushing the
question to q finish and establish similar
organizations along the cooperative lines
the business Of the loan shark will be
greatly reduced and in the end practically
wiped out.

Agrees With Mr.. Ham.

He backed Mr.. Hams statements re-
garding the establishment Of cooperative
associations. and declared that the char
liable people Of the District should get to-
gether and establish in Washington such
societies as will really prove benefit to
the people.
That the members of the welfare de-
partment will work along the lines sug-
gested by the speakers and undertake to
support the bill now pending before Con-
gress Is evident from the spirit shown at
the meeting.

LIFE OF REPUBLIC INVOLVED

Quoting those illustrious Presidents

Roosevelt-and even tho House Of Rep
resentatives, and citing the precedent of
Grant, Representative Samuel w. Nc
Call of Massachusetts made a powerful
speech in the House OF Representatives
yesterday afternoon against the election
Of a President for third term, either
real or substantive.
While the speaker did not attempt to
apply the two-term principle to Col.
Roosevelt. his speech was interpreted as
warning to republicans not to break
the precedent which Washington set and
which has not been broken by any Of his
successors. The speech is in line with
the Slayden resolution declaring against
third term.
For nearly a century and q quarter,
whatever other changes may have taken
place In our Constitution or In public
opinion; whatever enlarged views the peo-
pie may have come to entertain regarding,

Washington in fixing the limit at two
terms, ratified as 1t has been by his sue
cessors. has acquired the force of q con-
stitutional limitation, and by prescription

Not only did Representative Mccall
base his argument against a third term
on precedents set by all the Presidents,
but he outlined the dangers that lurked
in the third term, citing Rome and Mex
leo as examples.
Line Of Separation.
Mr.. Mccall said, in part:
Tin a republic the tenure Of the chief
magistrate presents an intensely prac-
teal question. It bears vital relation
to the stability of that kind of govern
ment It Is at the very point where the
opposing forces most strongly clash that
determine whether a republic is to be
perpetual or is to merge into some dynas-
tic form. A limited tenure for the head
Of the state may fairly be called the
most important bound to republican in
situations. The tremendous influence Of
the executive power centralized in the
hands Of one strong, INSCRIPTIONS man
may easily be adequate in critical times
to remove all limitation upon his tenure
and to change the essential character of
the government.
1T Is hardly necessary to cite instances.
Under the consularship Of Caesar the
annual election to the leadership Of the
Roman republic became an idle form, and

Good Mental onIc.

AS appearance means so much to
the average woman. mentally as well
as socially. the question often arises,
is she justified in aiding or improv
ing nature if she sees flt?" Many of
our well-known medical men think
that makeup" is as good a mental
tonic as anyone can take and greatly
advises its use. especially for the girl
who has some slight personal defect
scar. poor complexion or bloodless
lips, for the knowledge of her defects
makes her shy and oftentimes sulky
and miserable.
We owe it TO our friends as we'll
as TO ourselves to look our best at all
lines and the girl who can improve
her appearance without harming her.
SELF should do so. Nothing gives us
quite the self-conhdence as to feel we
look we'll.
Actresses are usually warm-hearted
sensible and cheerful. That is because
they make the best of themselves in
face and form. An old saying is true,
The face is often a reflex Of the
mind" and in a measure it is no less
true that the mind is reflex of the
face
