The Federation of Citizens
Associations and Advisory
Council

The first indication of conflict between the Federation Of
Citizens Associations and the Advisory Council creation Of
the Federation has come legislative recommendations to
the Commissioners and Congress.
The Federation seems is unwilling leave the
Advisory Council the duties Of making recommendations
cerning District legislation thereby hogging the megh
the president of the Federation puts it. So the proper
mtees of the Federation WILL in bills pending before Con-
gress hold hearings and make recommendations.
The attitude Of the Advisory Council will develop in the near
future The situation tickh and may involve
the continuance Of the Advisory Council important
factor in civic matters before the Commissioners and Congress
It will be regrettable if there is to be friction to the
duties of the bodies Conflict Of kind will not be
helpful to the Of the District in Congress The long
standing complaint of Senator'S and Representatives has BEEN
the lack civic unity local matters before Congress- The
issue brought forward is at most noppotune time with Con-
gress just assembling
the Federation desires to assume through committees
and then through the whole body ITSELF the duties that have
been by the Advisory Council it should reach
definite determination in that direction and advise the Com
oner The desires of the Federation should be clear be-
Fond any doubt and should have the approval Of the con-
btituent bodies.
The raising of this issue has been feared since the creation of
Che Advisory Council should be settled speedily
bble and with as little feeling as possible.
The Federation has been generally accepted the clearing
house Of civic sentiment in Washington far that sen
nent represented by strongly organized and active c
ens associations the Federation is in position through
changes in its constitution and bylaws necessary to do the
useful that been done by the Advisory Council there
then arises question whether two civic bodies nece

and elsewhere.

kisory Council will Of course be compelled to meet ofene
certain times Of the year and require committees to meet

All this appears to be the result
of the accidental finding, by
man blowing a steep-sided pas
ture field near Glozel-a field
which had always looked so poor
that nobody before had thought it
worth plowing--of some pieces
of rude baked brick and some
pebbles and flat stones graved
with the mysterious markings now
regarded as alphabetical s'gns,
the oldest In the world!
What is considered a manifest
proof that the Glozel deposit Is
not "a SALT" is that any inquiring

DOWN BY THE
ZJJIDER ZEE

A BOVE the gray waters Of the
"A Zuider Zee, in picturesque
Holland, rising on collection OF
hillocks, are the quaint dwellings
Of the Isle Of Marker. The sight
that awaits you as the boat APP
proaches this unique spot Is
delight to the eye. A group OF
children in gaily colored, fan
tastic costumes is gathered to ex--
tend a welcome to the arrivals.
These are our little Dutch
cousins, with whom we are
acquainted only through pictures
and descriptions in. story books:
The little girls, with their two
long yellow .ringlets hanging from
either side Of the encircling white
lace caps with the stiffly cropped
fringes on their foreheads, are
holding on to the hands Of their
little brothers and sisters. The
quaint babies-boys and girls
are dressed alike up to the age
of seven, in full long skirts and
colored caps. It is difficult TO
tell which are the boys and which
the girls, as the only mark OF
distinction is slight difference In
the cap.
This is Sunday and the men
are resting after the weeks work,
sitting on their heels in solemn,
taciturn circles, their short clay
pipes dangling from between their
teeth. The Dutch fisherman cuts
a quaint figure, indeed, in his
artistically carved wooden shoes,
In his baggy breeches and his
astrakan headgear.
The people of Marker are poor.
Their only means of livelihood Is
fishing. Although passive and
stolid on land, the men are very
active and daring on the ocean
waves. They spend most OF their
lifetime in the spray Of the briny
deep, hauling in their nets, wal
ing hip-deep into the water.
The womenfolk, in their odd
costumes and lace caps with goll
ornaments, take great pride IN
showing you through their little
old painted wooden houses with
their bright tiles and shining
brass. The interiors OF these
charming homes are Immaculate.

shoes on the street recall you
