Congressional Investigation OF
District Government

Congress has before it joint resolution authorizing
sweeping investigation into District affairs during the recess
Of that body by joint committee OF i've SENATORS anu
Representatives
Whether the resolution is passed probably of deep
concern District officials They do not indicate that they
would oppose investigation On the contrary ney WOu
doubtless welcome it. -
These sort of Investigations usually yield nothing but
rop of suspicion and dscor They generally result in much
ing the meght Of the dsgrunted grouche and know
ias who want display their views as to what should
be done.
An investigation into District administrative affairs and
che expenditure Of public moneys could do no harm 1t could
the other hand do good would certainly inform the
District committees of Congress on many things the members
do not now know
It is extremely doubtful any Investigation would reveal
anything like dishonesty District Officials It might
reveal some favorsm and official Juggling 1t would prob
ably show already indicated In some OF the House near
ings that the public utilities corporations get away with
things that individual taxpayers could never get away with
the District large OF money which they refuse TO
pay They constantly appeal the courts against special
and other taxes They spend large sums OF the money they
collect from District people lodging their municipal obi
cations They retain large sfs OF attorneys and special
workers for that purpose
car tracks they be allowed to do about they please
They should be relieved Of paying the whole cost Of street
repairs between tracks and for two feet each side Of
the tracks, but Congress has refused to relieve them They
should required to toe the mark in street assessments
lust as would humbest taxpayer, but they allowed
20 procrastinate and have their way.
An investigation would enable Congress to find out why all
taxpayers are put and kept the same basis would
enable that body apply corrective legislation necessary
An exhaustive investigation would also bring out that there
more division authority between the District and Federal
Government than good for the city Through years or
legislation there endless number Of laws affecting the
District government which could be smpied Yards and
yards of red tape complaining satisfactory municipal admin

There ism any doubt that investigation, conducted on
constructive lines would be helpful to the District and to
officials Of the District government who are hampered on all
sides by Anticipated laws and regulations.

SENDING OUT
THE CARDS
Mrs. Cornelius Beeckman-

DEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ In sending wedding invita-
tions to a family that consists OF
mother, father. two daughters and
two sons. Should I address one
invitation to ''Mr. and Mrs." an
other to "The Misses" and the
other to "The Messrs''? Are all
of these enclosed In one envelope
and addressed to Mrs.
or each sent individually?
2. Upon receiving gifts. is It
proper to answer and acknoWl-
edge that gift at once or after
we return from our honeymoon?
8. I should not leave the cards
on the gifts while they are on
display, should I?
II you can possibly arrange to
do so, send one invitation adj
dressed to Mr.. and MRS."
and then a separate one to every
member OF the family old enough
to receive formal invitations.
This gives honor to each one
and that Is surely what you want
to do with your wedding invita-
tions.
Q. The ideal way to thank for
wedding gifts Is for the bride to
write a thank-you note on the
day on which the gift is received.
AS far as possible, she should have
all her gift acknowledgements writ.
ten before her wedding day. OF
course, there are always last-min.
ute gifts that arrive too late for
this, and since the gifts are sent
so late, the senders of these will
understand IL she does not write
them until after she returns from
her honeymoon.
3. You are correct about this
and / am glad to say so. For l
think that one of the most garish
gestures is for the bride to display
the cards on wedding gifts. 1t is
as il she proclaims, blatantly,
"Oh, see what so,and-so sent me!'
AS a matter of fact, wedding
gifts are not often displayed now,
except to ones close friends.
Usually the bride has her intimate
friends in to tea or luncheon, and
while they are there shows them
her gifts. But no more public
display Of them is planned for.
nEAR MRS. BEECKMAN:
~ A says it is proper to reg
lister in a hotel as "Mr. and
Mrs. John Doe
B says 1t Is proper to write
'Mr. John Doe and wife"
Which is correct? A. M.
A IL correct. 1t is incorrect

''Some weeks ago you gave US

The earth is often called a
great spherical magnet, and 1t
acts very much as If 1t were uni
formly magnetized about it's axis
of rotation. But the so-called
poles of the earth's magnetism
do not coincide with the geo.

them lies within about 1900 miles
OF the geographical North Pole
and the other at somewhat
smaller distance from the geo.
graphical South Pole. The geo
graphical poles are the ends of
the axis Of rotation. But the mag
netic poles are not Numerically
opposite to one another like the
geographical poles. The north
ern one lies in latitude about II
north longitude about SO west,
which places it in the northeastern
corner of North America on the
peninsula of Boothia Felix, east
of Victoria Land. The southern
one is in latitude about 1914
south, longitude 1856 east, placing
it on the Antarctic continent, in
what is also called Victoria LAM.
Try This Plan
If you put two little waters to
represent the magnetic poles on =

you will see that the line joining
