The skin that is habitually too
dry may indicate a lack of fat in
the entire system, but it usually
means that the skin itself and the
underlying glands are lacking
natural oils.
We know that some of our very
stout and overweight sisters have
very dry skins. so it is quite evi-
dent that the cure for this must be
in treating the skin itself.
We know that the skin is divided
into three main layers. The outer
layer Is known as the cuticle or
epidermis: the middle layer the
corium or derma, and the lower
layer the subcutaneouS tissue.
Due tc climate, overheated
rooms and various causes, we find
that the skin function is inter.

have any summer merchandise in.
But nearly all the buyers can tell
you what's going to be good. In
fact, anyone who watches fash
ions can tell you a good many
things that will be worn, merely
by their knowledge Of what Is
smart now.
Every good spring fashion will
repeat itself in some way this sum-
mer. Every possible trend that
can be adapted for hot weather
will reappear in summer versions.
For example, here are a few things
that are pretty sure to be good,
and when you think them over,
I'm sure you will agree with me.
Summer TaiIleurs
Tailored suits are prime favor
ties right now, and it stands to
reason that they will be as good
If not better in linen, Shantung,
sharkSkin, or the various excellent
novelty fabrics that have been de-
veloped for both mems and worn-
ems summer suits. They will have
the same frilly blouses, but in net,
organdie and batiSte, or perhaps
handkerchief linen for summer.
AS to the accessories, colorful
gloves, blouseS. scarfS, flowers on
lapelS and on hats, will be just as
good in the summer, if not better.
We will probably run more to the
paStels than the vivid colorS, be-
cause they are so much cooler
looking, but we will have just as
much color. It will be used
against q background Of white or
natural, rather than the gray and
navy Of this month.
Prints With Coats
The redingoteS of spring will
translate themselves into printed
dresses of linen, batiSte or other
cool fabrics, worn under coats of
white linen or tailored woolenS.
Some Of this type were shown for
the Palm Beach season, and were
very successful.
You can already see the trend
toward really broad brimmed hats.
Newest among the offerings right
now are fairly wide brimmed
StrawS, felts too for that matter,
in such colorS as May wine, violet,
black, navy, natural, and so on.
Soon they will be in paStelS, and
sooner, they will be cartwheels
and capelines

are ready for big hats. they will be

Not Permitted to Vote
(Sun-GGsette, Fulton, Mo-,
Nop. 20, 1936)

Three times as many people as
live in the Ninth Missouri congress
sional district, of which Galloway
is a part, are not permitted to vote
for President, although they are
loyal and mostly native-born Amer
leans. In the Missouri Ninth dis
trict the census of 1880 showed
2O,O68 people: in the District OF
Columbia there were $4,000. Yet
the people who live in the District
of Columbia are not permitted to
vote.
It has no representation in Con-
gress and no voice in the selection
of a President. At the last session
of Congress an amendment was
proposed to right the wrong, for
bidding the residents of the Ma.
tional Capital an opportunity OF
voting. It is probable this will be
reintroduced at the coming session
and we see no reason why it should
not be referred to the State legiS
latures for adoption. There are
many former CallawegianS now
living at Washington, D. c., who
voted intelligently while they were
here and who would continue to
vote intelligently since they have
left our borders.

his seat in Congress against a Re
publican and a Democrat. The
score was even. Mr.. Lemke was
returned to Congress, not the
White House, and Mr.. Burdick re-
tanned his seat.
The hobby we are talking about
is his love for the Indians and all
the lore and legend and relics that
go with that subject. That's his
main hobby. Mr.. Burdick has sew
eral others, including the raising
of pure-bred goats.
But about the Indians. Mr.. Bur
dicks office is filled with things
pertaining to the First Americans.
He has a wonderful collection OF
portraits of Indian chiefs. He has
a full Indian war dress, 1ncluolng
a marvellous war bonnet. Friends
of the Representative secured a
number of Indian burial mounds
while he was electioneering and
sent him new collection Of arrow
heads, shell earrings, tomahawks
and other articles.
The feature that appeals to Mr..
Burdick and which will warm the
hearts of other collectors is that
a number of these finds were used
by the Indians before white man
ever set foot on this continent.
Representative Burdick is sure
of this fact because, take for in
stance, the tomahaWks. They are
just the stone heads, and through
the middle of the ones he has are
bored holes for the insertion of the
handles. If you ever looked close
at most of the tomahawkS that are
on exhibit you will notice there is
no hole for a handle but the han
dies are fastened securely on with
thongs that wrap around the mid
die of the tomahaWk and not
through it. This little fact proves
to all informed collectors, Mr.. Bur
dick says, that they antedate the
advent Of white men to this coun
try.
ORNAMENTS
The collection also includes
abalone shell ornaments, curious
stone implements for making
ropes and a curious stone Sinkel
for fishing that is heavier or as
heavy as the lead ones now solo
to modern anglers.

ington, D. c., should be governed

States.
Men who have studied the mat
ter carefully insist that there was
no intent on the part of the franz
ers of the Constitution to deny the
people residing in the national
capital the privilege of exercising
the elective franchise, any more
than denying their admission to
Statehood.
If the District Of Columbia
should be granted the right to vote
it would be entitled to two Sena-
ors and perhaps three Congress
men, and four or five votes in the
electoral college.
At the last session of Congress a
resolution was introduced looking
to the adoption of an amendment
to the Constitution giving the citi-
zens of Washington the right to
vote, but it failed Of adoption. 1t
| is planned to introduce similar
resolution in the next Congress.
If the residents of the District
are granted the elective franchise,
those employed in the various de-
partments of the Government resi-.
dents of States when appointed,
should be excluded. Otherwise
there would be temptation With

Citizens Who Cannot
Vote
(ReDorter, White Plains, N. Y.

(ReDorter, White Plains, N. Y.
Nov. 21, 1886
AS is well known, citizens Of the
District of Columbia have all the
obligations of citizens Of other
States but are denied the right to
vote, the privilege Of representa-
ton in Government.
There may have been two rea-
sons for that oddity. The trainers
of the Constitution may have held
that it would be dangerous to al
low representation to those in the
immediate vicinity of the National
Capital, much as our own State
constitution forbidS the sheriff to
succeed himself for fear his con-
troll of armed deputies might lead
to seizure Of power.
The other and more likely ex-
planation is that the Constitution
makers unintentionally failed to
give Congress the power of grant
ing representation in Congress and
in the electoral college, to the
population of the District of Co
lumbia when its growth warranted
the recognition given territories as
States.
At any rate, we now find $4,000
literate and largely native-born
Americans diSfranchiSed although
they must face all other responsi.
bilities of citizenship, including
taxation and the necessity Of
bearing arms in defense of their
country.
The Districts population ex-
ceedS that of eight States: the
voting age population exceeds that
Of 10 States; during the last fiscal
year the District paid in national
taxes $17,322,929. More than that
paid by any one of Is States; and
during the World War the District
sent more men to the colorS than
any one of II States.

Washington, D. c., with a popu-
lation of about 100000, has ar.
rived at the very sensible conclu-
sion that it should have the right
to vote, same as other towns and
cities and communities. Simply
because it is the capital of the
United States is not a good reason
why its people should be dis
franchiSed. What would the citi-
zens of the capitals of States think
if they could not vote? What
would they be doing about it? But

(EDentng Record, Chelsea, Mass,
NoU. 21, 1886
Now that the election is over,
the votes counted and the major
ity of people satisfied with the
results, attention may we'll be
focused upon the situation in
Washington, D. c., where the resi-
dents have no say in the national
or local government.
Just why should residents of
Washington be deprived of their
franchise?
Most of them, or many of them,
at least, are Government workers
and should, therefore, be better
informed on national affairs and
cast a more intelligent vote than
some of the people in other com
munitieS.
The Districts population exceeds
that of eight States, the census
figures of 1880 estimating the
voting-age population at 433, 900.
During the last fiscal year the
District of Columbia paid IN
national taxes $17,322, ,929.
When the United States faced
the crisis of the World War. the
District of Columbia sent more
men to the colors than any one OF
II States, despite the fact that 1t
was unrepresented in the body
which declared war and prose
cuted it.
The basic principle Of the whole
scheme Of government in the
United States is that the people
shall be represented. The people
of Washington, D. c., are not.
Why not now wipe out the IN
equality which exists? Legislation
to this effect will be introduced
into Congress when it conVene'
and all should join in giving tc
the un-Americanized Americans II
the Capital the same privileges
which are accorded other resi-
dents Of this nation.
