War the District of Columbia sent 49,

about four-fifths greater than its share
In the Spanish War the number of men
sent to the front was about one-fourth
greater than the number properly
chargeable against the District.
Proud of World War Record.
''In the World War the record for
the District is one that we are all proud
of. The total voluntary enlistments in
the Army, Navy and Marine Corps was
1914, which was greater in number
than the States of Nevada, Delaware,
Arizona, Wyoming, Vermont, New Mex
leo and New Hampshire and only a
trif1e less than three other States. The
number of men indicted into the Army
in the first and second registrations
was 1851, making a total number OF
men entering the service of the Gov
eminent 17,945. The proportion which
the voluntary enlistments bear to the
total number of enlistments and In
auctions by way of registrations was
greater for the District than for any
State in the Union. except Rhode Is
land, Oregon, Washington, California
and Maine.

ulation to justify giving this right?
IF education, intelligence, respect
ability and dependability are necessary
before we can say we are ready, then
We have all of these and more.
Are we deprived of the right to
which every citizen is entitled because
our population is too small or that our
territory is too small? If SO, it may
interest you to know that the District
of Columbia has greater population
than at least six of our sovereign States,
all of whom are duly represented in
the House of Representatives and by
two Senators in the Senate of the
United States.

Interested; we must make a showing;

platform reads as follows: We demand
suffrage for the people of the District
of Columbia Committees and repre-
sentatives of the Central Labor body
have for the last quarter of a century
appeared before Congress urging the
carrying out Of this great fundamental
principle.
"The American Federation Of Labor,
representing today close to 100000
workers, has at its conventions during
that time repeatedly adopted favorable
resolutions on this question and its leg
islative agents have appeared before
Congress and requested its adoption.
International labor organizations, at
their conventions, have likewise taken
similar action. Therefore, as far as the
organized labor movement of the United
States is concerned, We are all in favor
of national representation for the Dis
trict of Columbia. Organizations of
every description in the District have
discussed this question at one time or
another, and special organizations were
created for the concentration of effort
in order that victory might be at
tanned.
Amendment Is Held Necessary.
"After numerous conferences were
held and the best legal minds of the
the conclusion was reached that only
through an amendment to the Federal
Constitution could this blot on the
greatest Republic in the world be re-
moved For number of years, in each
succeeding Congress, there have been

Organized labor is continually being
placed on the defensive and there are
so many questions that confront us that
We cannot possibly give all of our time

vigilance Is the watchword of all labor
organizations and protecting our re-
spective trades and callings comes first
and so 1t happens that while men in
other lines of endeavor have made more
careful study of this question, organized
labor is wide awake to the situation and
will continue to do all within its power
to see that the goal is reached shortly

either in the election Of the President
and Vice President and Congress is re-
pulsive to every sense OF decency and
Justice.
Il could stand here and quote facts
and figures all night on this subject, but
I believe that any fair-minded person
reviewing the record of the District OF
Columbia will readily concede that 1t is
both fitting and Just that the residents
thereof should speedily be accorded ma
tional representation.
Another very important feature OF
this amendment is the fact that under
its terms citizens of the District are put
on a parity with the citizens of the
States in the matter Of entry into the
United States courts. AS the law is now
interpreted we have even less rights
than given an alien, because under the
Constitution an alien may, under GER
tain conditions, resort to the United
States courts.
Dawn of New Era Heralded.
"The old saying that charity begins
this opportunity to thank the members
of both branches of Congress for what
they have done in the past for the resi-
dents Of the District, but we of the labor
movement know that political expedi.
ency sometimes comes first with certain
politicians, especially at a time just
prior to election. and we believe that by
having our own Senators and Repre-.
sentatives to whom we could tell oul
immediate troubles that We would bt
far more successful in having labor
legislation passed that will be benefit
to the workers of the District.
I'm conclusion, let me say this: Throw
off your chains of apathy: stand ur
with your faces to the rising sun, fol
this is the dawn of a new era; marsha
your forces together and let us arouse
the citizens of the Nation in order tha
they may help us in our battle for ma.

fetal SUMS ray, or ultraviolet rays,
say that this method will cure bald
ness and cause a new growth Of
hair even on scalps shiny as q bill

the actual cases to prove their
claims? Answer: Nowhere!
The experts in care of the hair
recommend that the scalp be kept
clean bby washing AZ often - neces-
sary with soap and water. II the
scalp Is unusually dry 10 should BE-
creased lightly at least once each
week with vaseline or with liquid Pc
trolatum.
The water will not rot the living
hair; water il the greatest cleansing
agen. known to man. The water
will remove the grease and give the
hair a dry feeling.
The same effect is secured by
using tones with too much alco-
hol. In ancient Egypt the medi-
cine men, cured badness by
grease that was made from the fat
Of six different animals: the lion.
hippopotamus, crocodile, cat, snake
and ibbex. The idea was to get the
strength and sagacity of the animals
at the same time that grease was
supplied. In early American days
bears grease was used for the same
purpose.

COLOR
Ey Alice JudsON Peale

BY the time he has reached the
age of five the average child Is able
to name colors correctly when he Is
asked. But actual determination of
colors comes much earlier than this.
1t begins to show in children be-
tween two and three.
A child who has a strong delight
in colors and in making arrange
ments with them may be slow in
learning their names. The ability to
name colors correctly Is something
quite different from appreciation Of
color grades and values and from
taking an esthetic pleasure in them.
1t is relatively unimportant to
teach little child to say the names
Of colors, but it is extremely impor-
tant to give him great deal of
color experience, and to permit him

Among the best materials for this

green and purple. These may be
bought in large quantities from any
kindergarten supply house.
If we do not disturb the child and
do not insist on showing him how"
he will do all sorts of interesting
things with them. He will sort one
color out from the rest to play or
build with It, He will make patterns
in alternating colors.
| Gradually he will use the cubes in
increasingly complex arrangements
! which give evidence of a developing
sense OF balance and design.
Crayons are another excellent
means Of providing color experience.
The child should use those which
are about half inch in diameter.
At first he will not notice the colors
he Is using; he will scribble for the

YOUR HEALTH
BY DIR. MORRIS FISHBEIN
Editor journal Of the American
Medical Associations and OfHy-
geia, the Health Magazine)

Experts say that in most instances
badness is idiopathic-which means
that nobody knows the reason for
1t.
There are all sort of superstitions
about hair, as about every other
matter in which scientific know
ledge still is lacking. Some people
believe that the hair is full of sap
and that the ends must be sealed
by smuggling or the sap will run
out. The hair has no more sap
than a buggy whip. In most in
stances badness is hereditary and
because Of the constitutional con-
dition the hair is bound to fall out.
Some people think that hair grows
on parts of the body that need pro-
lection. at least from wind and
weather. There may have been a
TIME when hair on the chest was
useful for this purpose. Nowadays
women without hair on the chest
keep the chest regularly exposed
and men with heavy growth of
hair on the chest wear a vest. coat.
shirt, overcoat and various guam
titles Of underwear 70 protect the
chest still further.
Another theory has 1t that hair
remains on those portions of the
body that were not reached by sun
light in that evolutionary stage when
men walked on all fours. There
seems to be plenty Of evidence that
sunlight is both good and bad for
the hair. The evidence seems to
depend on the dosage used and the
head Of the particular person con-
cerned.

eating 'em about Mr.. Noel gets me.
You couldn't find a nicer young
fellow in the country"
smothered the impulse to blurt
out the conviction which had come
to me with her story-that ! knew
the reason for Anna Schmidt's ex-
cessive grief. To her mind, her
adored royal mistress would be far
better dead than to marry a COM
moner such as she considered Noel.

secret OF his left-handed relation

Indeed l judged it would intensity
her horror of such an alliance.
Does she understand any Eng

'She can speak a few words. and
I think she understands il people
speak very slowly to her, and don't
use big words. But her husband
always talks for her. He keeps her
in the background, like all those
drafted foreigners"
My good neighbor's contempt for
aliens was mirrored in her face, and
did not attempt to combat her
prejudices. With a little non-com-
initial nod, rose from my chair.

pered. and walked softly to the door
