majority opinion is the principle upon
which the Government is founded.
Mrs. Paul undertook to clear the at
mosphere with regard to the various
classes of people residing in Wash
ington who want to vote. She said she
wished to correct the belief that
Washington is populated mostly by
officials. diplomats and Government
clerks.
TAKES ISSUE WITH DYER.
Claiming there are $4,000 foreign
born residents in the District where
in the shadow Of the Capitol" she
protested that their children should
have the right to participate in the
affairs of the Government, which
they had been taught to believe rep
resented "the land of tho free" Mrs
Paul took the position that the other
residents of the District SHOULD not
be deprised of their vote simply be-
cause many government clerks had
the privilege of voting in their home
States.
She took issue with Congressman
Dyer on this question If the vote is
granted the District, she advocat ted
giving Government employees the
choice of either casting their ballot
here or through the mails. She in
sisted that ii was unjust to allow
government clerks to vote on one
hand and deprive the actual sres-
idents of the District Of their con-
stitutional rights on the other hand.
Again the question OF usurping the
control of Congress over the affairs
of the District was brought up by
Congressman Summers, OF Texas.

should surrender it's control over the
District of Columbia" he asked.
NO" replied Mrs. Paul. But an
arrangement can be made with Con-
gress by which the people OF the Dis
trict can have some responsibility in
local Government and yet not dis
turb the control of Congress over
Government property"
TELLS OF REFERENDUM.
The question of local self-govern-
ment was brought up at various times
during the hearing by members of
the committee who suggested, as on
other occasions, the necessity of es
tabllshing this as a first step toward
national representation in Congress.
witnesses reiterated their demand
for the Burroughs resolution. declar-
ing that II had practically the unari-
nous support of Washington resi-
dents. Mrs. Paul and Mr.. Leach both
expressed the opinion that absolute
self-governmeiit, especially at this
time. would be a mistake.
Congress is our local aim" ex-
planned Mr.. Leach. in reply to aues-
lions as 10 why people here did not
seek to gain local ends first.
He declared he represented /, 800 pro
fessional and BUSINESS men of the
City Club, who were practically un-
animous in favor OF the passage OF
the resolution providing for represen-
tation in Congress and the electoral
college.
"only seventeen out OF 900 members
who voted on the proposition" he told
tho committee, opposed the Eur
roughs resolution"

NIGHT SESSIONS PROBABLE.
Tedious night sessions are in pros
pect in the closing days of February
unless both sides make more speed
,iS the next four weeks than they
have in the last four. Many of the
pending measures are conducive of
extended debate, and extended de-
bate doesn't make for speed.
The House next week probably
will take up the proposal to increase
the membership of the House from
i35 to 4S3. and this is certain to
produce some warm political and
sectional battles Unless the leaders
can choke 1t Off. it will provide
enough vocal fireworks to keep the
House busy for days.

have the effect of touching a match

Republican leaders OF the House
are reluctant to support any reappor-

Soviet Rule Due for Early Fall,
Hammond Says-U. S. Must
Grab Trade.

Early disintegrsti6n of the pres
ent Russian Soviet government. to
be followed by an unprecedented era
OF world trade development, was
predicted last night by John Hays
Hammond, world famous engineer,
and Oscar T. Crosby, former Assist
ant Secretary of the Treasury, in
inangurating the establishment of a
Slavic department in the Foreign
Service School of Georgetown Uni
versity.
TRADE OFFER "BLUFF.,
Hammond termed the orfer OF the
present Russian government TO trade
with the United States as a "biuff."

assistance toward the maintenance of
the Bolshevist rule"
The disintegration of the present
government in Russia Is bound to
occur, he said. for the communistic

vantage OF developing American trade

or the Soviet rule, declaring the
Slavic world in the next few years
would claim it's rightful position in
the export trade. Crosby did not
agree with Hammond that this change
would result speedy. within the next
two years, but would come from a
sure and gradual growth.
1T Is hardly conceivable Germany
viii ever get back her old trade
supremacy with Russia" declared
Hammond. "A spirit Of friendship
always has existed between America
and Russia. and l believe this spirit
liz still alive and America is in a posi-
ton to become a leading bidder for
Russian trade"
MAKES PREDICTION.
Crosby declared Russia can regain
her old position in the commercial
world only by increasing her exports,
and in this connection he held that
within the next twenty years the
Russian population will have in
creased to 200. 900. 900 and will be ex-
porting at the rate of $40 to $l2 per
capita, as compared with $420 per
capita now.

CLOGGED BLOOD
WRITER'S THE BODY
Workers Sick and Weak From Elk
ertion Take GUIDES Perto-
Mangan.

Men and women who toll, either
physically or mentally, use up energy.
When they overwork they use up more
energy, and sometimes the blood gets
in rundown condition. Without rest
the blood cannot get back to normal,
so that it becomes clogged with waste
matter from over-exertion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale
faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the
sunken cheeks and necks, the dead
tired feeling are the results Of stale
blood depriving the system of life
giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get GUIDES Pepto-Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take it
in either the liquid or the tablet form.

London, Oct. 25.-The Munich cor

This is cited as an instance of how
German industries are devising eng

meteorological possibilities of destruc-
