41st Annual Shad Bake
OF Board of Trade.

IN SATURDAY, May 1s. the
~ Board of Trade will hold its
forty-first annual shade bake
at the Marine base at Quantico,
Va. This will be new departure
as for some years Sherwood Forest
and later Bay Rridge. both In
Maryland, have been the scene Of
these outings. In the earlier days
Marshall Hall and sometimes River
View were selected and the trip
was made by boat.
These shad bakes mark the close
of the general gatherings of the
organization for its fiscal year. A
good dinner, interesting entertain
ment, field sports and contests Of
various kinds are provided and
above all there is a fine oppor-
tunity afforded for hobnobbing and
discussing District profile
Usually there are among the spe-
cial guests members of the Senate
and House Of Representatives,
members of the judiciary and Fed
eral and District officials. 1t is a
fine occasion for the making of all
sorts of civic and official contacts
and, aside from the purely social
side. has long been recognized as
one of the Board of Trades most
practical activities.
The annual election OF directors
OF the Board of Trade was held
at its last meeting Of the season
on Thursday night.

How to Arouse Interest
OF Congress in District.

VI congress In DlStTICt. &
IN EVERY hand these days civic
I leaders are asking the ques-
ton, What can we do to
arouse the friendly interest Of the
rank and file of the members OF
Congress in the urgent needs Of
and q policy Of fair play toward
the District?" This Is really con-
sidered as the most pressing OF
immediate problems. These civic
minded ones are familiar with the
many needs that mean so much
to the health, the safety and gen.
eral welfare of this American
community which Is ibsolutely
dependent upon Congress.
They have followed through its
various stages the pending District

as approved by the Budget Bureau

California Legislature
Would Americanize Washington.

A NEW experience was enjoyed
n last week by "voteleSs" Dis
trict of Columbia in its long
hght for voice and vote in the
councils of the Nation. There
was received at the Capitol from
the Governor of California copies
of joint resolution adopted by
both houses Of the State Legisla-
ture approving the proposed
amendment to the Constitution
empowering Congress to grant to
the District national representa-
ton. The resolution further Pc
titioned Congress to submit such
amendment to the States for rsti-
fication. Copies of the resolution
went to the Vice President,
Speaker of the House and to the
members Of the California dele
CATION.
CALIFORNIA; Senators and Rep
reSentatipes were respectfully
urged to support such legisla-
ton. This memorial from the
State Legislature of California is
the first action of this kind to be
noted. Last year a similar resolu-
tion was offered in the special ses-
sion of the Virginia Legislature.
but it came too late in the session
to receive action.
The action in California appears
to be the first fruits of the campaign
inaugurated last Winter by Miss
Marguerite M. Wells, president of
the National League Of Woman
Voters, upon assuming that office.
She appealed to the various State
leagues to bring the matter to the
attention Of their Legislatures and
urge their memorializing Con-
gress. Miss Wells is much gratifled
that California has taken the lead
which, she Is confident, will be fol-
lowed by many other States.
Civic leaders are much en-
couraged by this latest approval
of the justice Of the Districts
cause. They regard the granting
of voting participation in the
councils of the Nation as matter
of first importance and the only
means of assuring them fair play
as American citizens.

Committee Joint Hearing
On Proposed Rent Control.

T LEGISLATIVE committees on
the District of Columbia of
the Senate and House are to
hold a joint hearing on the local
rent situation on Tuesday at 10
am. in the caucus room of the old
House Once Building. The de-
mand for some legislation con-
trolling rents is understood to
come from the labor organizations
and from Government employees.
Some members of the House are
also complaining that they. too,
are victims Of "gouging" in rents.
The Senate District Committee
during the last Congress had an
investigation made and recently a
committee representing organized
labor has made a survey Pending
before these committees OF the
Senate and House are two pro-
posals, one for a congressional in
vestigation into the rent situation
and the other for the creation of
a rent commission similar to the
one during the World War.
This question does not appear
to have had the attention Of the
various civic bodies, probably due
to the fact that their membership
is made up very largely of home
owners, who consequently have
no direct contact with the matter.

hoodoo means to bring bad luck
which is the same thing as to be-
witch.
All who have read history know
that those who practiced witch
craft if caught were burned alive
or were subjected to some type of
torture. This was done in accord
ance with the command in Exc
dus xxii:1S, which said, "Thou
shalt not suffer a witch to i've"
Notorious as witch prosecutors in
the early eighteenth century in
America were the Rev. Cotton
Mather and Samuel Paris, both
Harvard men.
However, common sense finally
prevailed and people began to see
that there was no such thing as
witchcraft. In a similar manner
everyone today knows that there
is no such a thing as being hoo
dooed. No one can influence an
other by wishes, prayers, casting
of evil spirits, sprinkling "goofer
DUST" wearing dimes around
ankles wrists, etc., and other So
called witchcraft methods. Any
one who believes such foolishness
should go to the inner parts of
dark Africa because there he will
find plenty of agreeable compan-
ions in the cart of hoodoo."
America and other civilized coun-
tries have gradually grown up
through hundreds of years of work
and study. Any country is no more
intelligent than the people who
comprise it. Any group of people
who refuse to grow up mentally
and to keep pace with the general
advancement of science and lnowl-
edge in that country are really a
hindrance to the general progress
and that group in my opinion
should be deported as well as those
who are alien criminals or who
do not wish to obey the funda-
mental laws of the country.
If you are a believer in hoodoo
and such other similar bunk, I
feel sorry for you and those who
must come under your influence,
for you will live very miserable,
fearful existence.
