District Should Not Be DepriUed Of Home


For great principles the Senate is never sWayed by
high power, matter how humble the suppcants may
be who go to it.
Already there are Senators who do not agree with
the President in this matter AS they to under
stand it better there will be many who will oppose
the appointment
The Senate will be willing to go into the legal phases
of the matter twill be willing to consider the JUSTICE
of the thing.
Is it right that the last foothOld of home rule shall
be invaded?
Is it right that citizens of Washington who pay
than fOurths of the taxes to maintain and their
city government shall be ignored in strictly civic ap
pOlntment that the law says shall be given them?
Can it be possible that in city of $4,000 people
there are no men who able to administer
and govern municipal affairs in satisfactory way
that there are civilians who have the efficiency or
ability of Army officers?

THREE-MINUTE JOURNEYS
BY Temple Manning

DERHAPS the most outstand-
ing characteristic Of Vienna
is its streets and boulevards.
They are marvellous broad,
well-gardened and lined with
attractive shops. They are
streets built for the prone
made. One instinctively turns to-
ward them, wanders along
watching the parade Of gay
VienneSe and the procession Of
automobiles or window shops.
The most prominent street is
the Ring StraSSe, which COM
pletely encircles the So-called
inner city, where are located
the vast majority Of the gov
ernment buildings and those
buildings which, in the days Of
the HapSburg regime, were the
homes of the royal family.
Facing on this famous sRing"
are some Of the most imposing
buildings in the city. The
House of Parliament, formerly
the home Of the Imperial Diet.
is one of them. 1t is done in

IT is to be hoped that President Hoover will not send
to the Senate the name Of General Crosby to be
Commissioner of the District of Columbia in view
of the unbroken decisions of courts and high Of
ficers of the Government that retired Army Navy
officers are NOT CIVILIANS and that they are still in
the military service of the Government.
No less authority than the Supreme Court of the
United States has held that retired officers are in the
military service of the Government"
The regulations of the Army and Navy Departments
hold the same thing in that retired officers are always
subject to the commands and wishes Of their military
superiOrs.
There are SO many rulings and decisions the sub
ject as to leave not the slightest doubt that under
stretch of the imagination, may retired officers be
cassed as Civilians especially when they are SO ad-
judged for the sole purpose of violating law that is
clear as the sunlight in making 'CIVILIANS" ONLY
eligible for appointments.
The Washington times., 1930-02-11

President Hoover has plenty of time to consider fur
ther this grave problem before he sends to the Senate
in March, the name of General Crosby
Should the President finally decide to carry out his
pIan then up the disappointed people Of the Dis
trict of Columbia to carry their fight straight to the
Senate and there urge that great body to consider the
long line of decisions against the Presidents action
and refuse to confirm nomination that not only VIO
LATES existing law, but flOuts every known principle
of home rule and self f-gOvernment
It will be unwise for our citizens to wait to attack
nomination of this kind after confirmation, in the local
courts. In the of former Commissioner Oliver p
Newman the local courts held that citizen has the
to be candidate for Commissioner who feels that
he has been aggrieved
The place for this fight to be settled is in the United
States Senate the real and only forum of legislative
liberty and democracy in this country.

Japanese
Festival
to Be Held

The Japanese Cherry Blossom
festival to be given Monday night,
April 81, will be one of the loveliest
Easter balls ever given at the Co.
lumbia Club.
The tenth floor will be converted
into a cherry orchard, with sixty
real cherry trees set in cloiSsonne
pots. Two japanese women and two
girls, the only feminine representa-
tives of the race in Indiana, will be
guests and will act as hostesses for
four young women, daughters OF
Japanese statesman who are visiting
in the country and who will be asked
to attend the affair.
The ENJOYS daughters are Miss
KIM Ashino, Miss Sumiko Tokuda,
Miss Yoshiko Sato and MSS Yoshiko

they are smooth and tight over
the hips, and one point Of each
shawl flares out above the ankle
hem.
Hardly a bathing suit but has
its oh, so brief shorts that flare
almost from the waist or hips down
to well-almost to the knee. l call
them circular pants, for they look
for all the world like two little cir
cular skirts for dolls put on a
grown-up lady and called bathing
shorts.
Nor was the elegance Of the
lounging pajama eve Or anywhere
executed more g%raciously. Chiffon
trills, fine pleating of satin and
cores of lace all result in flare pa
jana pants.
There is even one velvet pajama
with a veritable train gliding softly
in the back-of each pant" leg. It's
quite the loveliest and most ele-
CANT paiama suit I've seen!
OF course, we have all accepted the
fact by now that tweed dresses SIM
ply must flare slightly from below
the knee, if not just above it, and
that they depend for their flare
upon subtle incrustation.
If the tweed shirt becomes an
ensemble with the aid of a match
ing cape, the cape, too, is ever SO apt
to follow the flare line of the skirt.
Oh, these flares!
GLOVES absolutely must &C
" company the summer afternoon
chiffons and laces. These are not
the same gloves, Of course, that you
wear indoors to tea, but are silk and
linen and pique, and very often have
Innings or incrustations of printed
silk to match the ensemble.
While they presumably are to
protect the hands, actually they are
more of a whim than anything
else. However, they are very much
in keeping with the type of dresses
with which they are worn.
