Farewell to Maj. Gotwals
And Welcome to Col. Sultan.

IA EAJ. GOTWALS retires from
.lVI the post of Engineer Com
missioner leaving many
friends among civic workers and
few enemies. His ability as an
engineer has been recognized by all
who have come in contact with him
in his work and his courage to
stand by his convictions has been
admired even by those who have
held opposing opinions. All have
admired the pure grit Of this man
carrying forward with a smile his
exacting work in the face of phys
ical disabilities which would have
completely discouraged most men.
Organized civic Washington ex-
tends its best wishes and its thanks
to this able gentleman as he lays
down his official duties and wishes
him long life and restored health
that he may continue to carry on
in his chosen profession. ....
Col. Sultan has yet to meet Or
ganized civic Washington. His in
duction into office was so sudden
on Wednesday, last, that the civic
leaders were denied the usual priv
ilege of falling in line and being
introduced. This omission, it is
said, imposes an obligation upon
the organizations to Immediately
arrange a proper function to make
him acquainted with the people he
Is to serve in his new post. 1t Is
predicted that one Of the service
clubs will be the first to present
the new Commissioner.
Throughout civic circles there is
being expressed the kindliest SEN
timents toward Col. Sultan and
promises Of hearty cooperation.
Voteless Helplessness Recognized
In Bar Associations Appeal.
DRESIDENT F. REGIS NOEL Of
the Bar Association Of the
District of Columbia has gone
to attend the American Bar ASso-
citation convention, which opens in
Milwaukee tomorrow. He proposes
to make a wide distribution to the
delegates of copies Of a letter ap-
pealing for support Of legislation
designed to prevent unauthorized
practice Of law in the District of
Columbia. In the course of this
strong appeal with supporting
documents it is stated that, THE
organized bar has been trying for
years to remedy this condition for
the benefit of the population Of the
District of Columbia and large
numbers of litigants in all parts
of the country whose matters
gravitate to the Capital, as well
as for the benefit of the legitimate
practitioners of our bar, but we
have no vote, no compelling infiu-
ence on Congress, which must
pass a relief law. Without
the unselfsh aid and influence of
members of this association in the
United States, who have the right
of suffrage, the bill cannot be
passed"
AS many of the legal gentlemen
of the American Bar Association
have probably never known or have
forgotten that the District Is vote
less and unrepresented, Mr.. Noel
is going also to pass out some Of the
informative literature of the
Citizens Joint Committee on
National Representation for the
District of Columbia. Literature Of
the joint committee is always
available for such missionary work
without cost.

BY EDWARD F. COLLADAY, .
Past president Of both the Federation
of Citizens Associations and of
Washington Board Of. Trade
T7HE present commission form
of government for the Dis
trict of Columbia was adopted
l. by the Congress with the
passage of the organic act OF
1878 and followed experimentation
with several other forms Of local
government.
The events incident to the prior
forms of government which led up to
the request for change in admins
tration of the Federal city supplied
both houses OF Congress with ample
material for detailed consideration OF
the problems involved, and much
study was given the subject by the
committees having this matter in
charge.
Changes Would Be Minor.
The conclusions of Congress, re-
sulting in the establishment OF the
commission form of government, have
been fully substantiated and Justlneo
in the past Sc years and I am OF the
opinion that the existing form should
be retained. Changes in general ad-
ministrative policies and departmental
procedures may be necessary, but
whether this be true or not, basically
our present system should remain.
1t is natural to believe Improvements
can be made and there is no doubt
that of the prime needs of the Dis
trict is the elimination Of taxation
without representation" and the
granting to the people of national
representation. BY national repre-
sentation mean the enactment of a
constitutional amendment providing
for two Senators and the usual Rep
resentatives, on a population basis,
to represent the citizens of Washing
ton in Congress. Further, that our
citizens should have the right to cast
their votes for President and Vice
President of the United States, and
be accorded the right to sue and be
sued in the Federal Courts.

CORNSTALK GAS
 LIGHTS UP FARM
Time Not Far Distant When All Homes Will Be
 Lighted Thereby

Ames, Iowa = (UP) = The time may not be distant when rural homes will be lighted and heated from the waste products of the farm, early experiments at the field station of the United States Department of Agriculture indi- cato.
 An experimental plant has been erected on a farm near the station for production of gas manufac- tured from corn stalks as the raw materials of fermentation.
 The goal for which engineers are striving is construction of Q farm plant capable of producing 200 cubic feet of gas suitable for burning as fuel or for lighting purposes daily.
 Such plant would utilize from 40 to 50 pounds of shredded corn stalks per day and would be in- stalled at an approximate cost of $500 to $500 exclusive of equip ment for distribution within build- ings.
 "Such plants would be especial ly beneficial in the west where coal is expensive and Illuminating gas unobtainable,". commented F.. Burke Jacobs, chief of the station.
 civilization of certain vegetable wastes for generation of gas, either on the farm or from cen- tral plant located In small com. munity which is not served by H. dominating gas, would simplify the farm waste problem insofar as such districts are concerned"

PARIS STYLES
By MARY KNIGHT

Paris-(UP)-The boot is. the Jack in the beanstalk of the shoe field. It has been growing steadily up and over the foot until now it is fully recognized boot.
 Among the houses definitely sponsoring the boot are Worth, Perguia, Julienne, Bentevegna and Pinet. This tpye of shoe, has of course, been looming bright CT and brighter on the fashion horizon as higher and higher cut shoes have been demanded. Eyelet after eyelet has been added on the instep to keep in step with the constant request for higher shoe.
 Julienne designs regular high boots that mould the calf very snugly and have a dip in the back that is most flattering to the leg. They fasten with hooks and one lace that is criss- crossed back and forth quite easily with one hand.
 Perugia has high semi-fitting boots of Russian inspiration. The body in green kidskin they ss~S &AS SA tsSS1 P0sSht leather.
 Bentsvegna prefers the fitted boots with q say colored lacing down the side.
 Pinet is concocting . boot that is new in line and unique in charm. Worth mapnequins wore the Juilienne boot in the recent collection shown by them for winter.
 Somehow the boot worry clsver- ly expresses the feeling for the oriental and Asiatie in clothes that crops up again and again in the collections whore East meets West-alashed tunic, fur borders, boited coats and fur hats. Be they high Russian boots or Happy Hungarian boot ees, the whole idea Of tho boot blends perfectly with the trend" Of the times in fashions genef-, eIly and that trend is. Indeed, e4@t&tf&a

YOUR CHILDREN
By Clns Roberts Bsrtoo : SS55S7 NSz sfa0sz S5e

Some persons work better in a crowd. Some work and think bet ter alone. Training and the na- ture of the work decide, but the ability to concentrate is the key note of all success regardless of conditions.
 In a newspaper office dozens of typewriters are clacking at once, land the general hurry seems to conspire against all laws of pro- duction. But behold a miracle. Serious writers turn out copy like lightning, lost as completely in their work as though on islands surrounded by a deep and peace full sea.
 Ask any such person how they learned to keep their minds on their work amid such din. Invar- iably the answer is, "Oh, you just get used to it.
 Have Learned to Concentrate
 This is true, but 1t is not all. Somewhere in earlier life such people have learned to concen- trate. to ignore noises or diver sions. Concentration cannot be- come second nature in a news paper office, a boiler factory, or at an afternoon tea, without this first training. It is learned during childhood in the quiet of one's room, or the silent family group that recognizes a child's right to put his mind on @ given task and keep it there.
 Once learned 1t sticks through life. Habit may change and en- vironment may alter the necessity for solitude, but concentration must be ingrained in the individual at an early age.
 This should be remembered by parents. The magic power is fos- tered in the beginning in an at mosphere of peace and quiet with out interruption.
 Eliminates Distractions
 Every child who studies needs the setting for it. He needs a place of his own where every shred of brain power can be directed on the subject in hand and kept there. He will get used to certain house. hold sounds, but they should not be of the type to shove themselves be- tween the page and mental eye. Particularly, they should not be tantalizing or calling on his will power to resist. The radio-the smell Of boiling taffy, games and much laughter-every one in the house having a good time but himself.
 The new swimmer has to learn in calm water before he can brave the roaring deep. The child who has learned real concentration will adjust himself to conditions as they arise later on, if he has this magic of all magic to carry him through. It is vital that home conditions are

 Answer-I do not recall having advised the use of lanolin in oint- ment or pomade. However, lanolin alone is usually too tenacious as base, and so 1t is mixed with more or less fresh lard of soft pe- trolatum.
