Brazil Takes Up
Skyscraper Idea
Despite Alarm

Down in Brazil they have fin
ally adopted the American sky
scraper idea and q 26-stor7 build
ing, the first on the Southern
continent. has been completed in
the coffee city Of San Paalo, the
American Achitect reports.
Conversion Of the Brazilians to
the idea Of shooting up and down
in elevators was not without its
problems, however. The building,
. combination hotel. theater
apartment and ONCE structure,
was hardly under way before the
owner began to hear widespread
predictions that so high 4 struc-
ture was sure to crash to earth.
Thinking rapidly, he decided to
move his family to the ninth
floor and live there during con-
struction, then build q rooftop
bungalow for their occupancy in
order to instill public confidence.

allegiance and duty to the people of
their own districts II States. Most
Representatives and Senators have as
much as they possibly can do to ade-
quately represent and care for the in
terests of their own constituents. They
can give only brief and irregular at
tention to the needs and desires of the
more than half-million people of the
National Capital.
Not ~infrequently, the District OF
Columbia has been neglected; the
rights and interests of its people ig-
rored and denied.
For many years. its public schools
were denied adequate support, even
though the people of the District were
willing and anxious to maintain them
properly. The result was that chill
dren were deprived of proper educa-
ton: were sent to poorly lighted and
poorly ventilated, ramShackle, inSani-
tary schools that would not be toler-
ated even in the remote rural districts
of America. In recent years we have
remedied that condition in Washington
but it should never have existed In
the Capital of the worlds greatest and
most advanced Nation.
For many years, also, thousands OF
poor people were crowded into anti
quated alley dwellings in the Nations
~Capital-where disease and crime
were bred in darkness and squalor. We
have partially corrected that condition
but it should not and probably would
not have existed if the District had
been directly represented in its Gov
eminent.

cities had led the way. washington
was without a proper coming ordinance,
and ugly building developments took
place that still mar what should be the
Nations most beautiful city.
Under u present constitutional
provisions, the people of Washington,
though good American citizens, cannot
bring suit in the Federal courts. The
Supreme Court of the United States has
decided that their legal status is less
than that of aliens in this respect.
THE Government employees of
Washington, more than 10000 in num-
Der, cannot act as jurors in the trial
of criminal cases in the District of
Columbia.
1.-The people of the District have no
voice in the selection of their judges,
the members of the Board of Education,
or of the officials who regulate their
public utilities.
"These are some of the inequities
and injustices of the present system of
government of our Nations Capital
ITO cure this real injustice, this
violation of fundamental American prin-
| ciples, my colleague, Senator Wesley
Jones, has introduced a resolution for q
corrective amendment TO the United
States Constitution. A similar resolution
has been approved twice before by the
committee of the Senate of which I am
chairman. The proposed amendment
does not deprive Congress of the power
to make laws for the District of Co

proportionate representation In the

those people may sue and be sued In

have the right to vote in presidential

when that resolution shall pass the
House and Senate it will be submitted
to the States for ratification, in the
same n as other proposed amend
ments to the Constitution. 1t is my
plea. my hope and my belief that the
States will promptly ratify when sub
mitted this amendment in the inter-
ests of justice and good government.
Tonight I appeal to every good
American citizen who may be listening
to this address, and who believes in the
principle of representative government

his or her Representative and Senator.

Boat Disaster AVerted

While George Hodge was working Tuesday afternoon on the engine in one of the shrimp trawlers belonging to the Reliance Shrimp Company, the boat caught on fire. MT. Hodge seiz- ed an oil coat and attempted to smother the fire. In an instant his clothes caught on fire as he slipped and fell to the floor. He heard some thing drop from the wall and the flames around the engine subsided almost at once. He said he surely thought a miracle had occurred. He did not know for awhile what had happened, but he did know that for some miraculous reason neither he nor the boat had burned up. Then he discovered that the object which had dropped was Shur Stop fire ex- tinguisher which George Sumption had placed on the wall by the engine not two weeks ago. When the wall was heated to 130 degrees of temp erature the Shur-Stop broke and it's chemicals scattered over the flames putting them out most effectively.

MRS. TRILLA GREEN DIES
 FROM EFFECTS OF FLU

 Mrs. Green had suffered from heart disease for the past year and ner heart was unable to stand up un- der the onslaught of flu. She is sur yived by two sons, James Green and Collis Green of Wrangell, and one daughter, Mrs. Hulda Svendsen of Britannia Beach, B. c. Collis Green and Mrs. Svendsen were with their mother when she passed away. Mrs. Joe Ramstead (Miss Lorena Wigg) and Miss Pauline Snyder were among former Wrangell friends who with her great deal during her last days.
 Mrs. Green was resident of Wrangell for four years, leaving here in 1918. She returned north in 1925 and spent the summer months in Wrangell and nearby points. A few years ago she took over an apartment house in Seattle which she furnished and sub-let and which under her management was turned into a prof table venture up to the time of her former Wrangellites who were with last illness.
 The passing away of Mrs. Green is mourned by many outside of her family circle. To her children she was a devoted and loving mother and to her friends she returned kindness and loyal friendship in heaping measure.

ARMY PLANE COMPLETES
 WORLDS ENDURANCE FLIGHT

LOS ANGELES Motor trouble brought the worlds greatest endur- ance flight to an end when the army monoplane Question Mark was forced to land after 150 hours and 50 min utes of continuous flying.
 The left motor went bad shortly after the plane entered the seventh day of it's flight and little after two o'clock went completely dead The plane glided about seven miles in effecting a landing. A throng of upwards of 10000 people were on hand to witness the termination of the record breaking feat of Major Carl Spatz and his crew of four army airmen. The flyers were deafened from the contsant roar of motors, but otherwise appeared little the worse for their remarkable experi- ence.
 The Question Mark went aloft at 7:27 A. M, New Years Day and had been circling from three thousand to five thousand feet above the Metro politan airport and vicinity ever since. It was refueled several times from other army planes. About an hour before landing Major Spatz sent down call for 50 gallons more of gasoline but a little later was forced to dump large part of his available supply in order to tighten his load and thus remain aloft few minutes longer. The commander de- clared after landing that he and his men were feeling fine and added that they could take off immediately | if the motors would run.
