Asserting that national repre-
Sentation and local suffrage for

lance and therefore should go
hand in hand, the committee for
progressive action organized to

less residents of Washington at
a meeting last night in Wesley

involved in local affairs.
Favor Referendum
AS a further means of advising
all concerned, a city-wide referen-
dunn was given unanimous in
docsement, with a suggestion it
be held on the same day that
the State of Maryland holds its
primaries, the date being Sc

logical effect it may have on
increasing interest.
Addressing the meeting, Repre-
sentative Henry G.. Tiegan, fifth
vice president Of the Progress AS
ISOLATION, said the people should
not be satisfied with a delegate in
Congress, but even that would be
an improvement in the condition
which now exists. He urged that
no other question be permitted to
enter the movement for suf-
frage, and that all Democrats, Re
publicans and Socialists work for
the one object, asserting that he
knew of at least so Congressman
who would be willing to lend sup
port.
Arthur Clarendon Smith, former
president of the Democratic
League of the District, said he was
present to give the movement his
approval, and declared a referen-

NRA-CCC

Two of the so-called alphabetical
agencies" started under the New Deal
were the NRA National Recovery
ADMINISTRATOR and the CCC CIVIL
ian Conservation Corpse. The form
er provoked bitter dispute and was
finally ruled unconstitutional by the
Supreme Court. The latter came in
for much less criticism and won
warm approval even from foes of the
New Deal. Separate tseps were tax
en- to revive modified form of the
MIRA and to perpetuate the CCC.
MIRA: A drive to re-enact a meas
ure which would fit with the Su-
preme Court view and would help
regulate competition, abolish chill
labor, prevent unfair price discrim-
nation, and move wages upward and
hours of work downward, was map
ped following a meeting Of the Coun-
Gil for Industrial Progress in Wash
ington.
CCC: In his annual report, Robert
Fechner, CCC director, asked for
continuance of the agency as IAN
effective part of our national policy"
Fechner declared the CCC had
greatly aided the conservation move
ment and brought decent manhood"
to thousands Of young men. The
program cannot now be dropped, he
said, without serious loss of ground

GO forward"

" HE divine command voiced by
the prophet Moses when the
- children of Israel were halted
by the seemingly impossible waters
of the Red Sea, on their way out Of
the land of bondage, still has power
to compel obedience and to put to
fight doubt, hesitation, and indeci-
sion. The command was, Speak
unto the children of Israel, that they
go forward" To go backward meant
slavery and submission to hard task
masters; to go forward demanded
courage and faith In q power un-
known to the material senses. Speak
ing of Moses as leader, Mary Baker
Eddy writes (Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures, p. 1000,
Moses advanced nation to the wor-
ship of God in Spirit instead of mat
ter. and illustrated the grand human
capacities of being bestowed by i'm
mortal Mind"
Along the journey of individual
spiritual progress, the encouraging
command to go forward can still be
heard by those who may be trembling
In the valley of decision. To awake
from the bondage of enslaving condi-
lions is one step towards spiritual
freedom, and to demonstrate the way
out of such conditions demands q
continual going forward. The Apos-
tie Paul, comparing his spiritual pro-
gress to race In which the athlete
keeps his eyes continually on the
goal, said, This one thing | do, for
getting those things which are be-
hind, and reaching forth unto those
things which are before, I press to-
ward the mark for the prize of the
high calling of God in Christ Jesus"
Like many Of us today, Paul had
much to regret, but he wasted no
time in looking backward. The spir-
itual light which had awakened him
on the road to Damascus blotted out
the mistakes of the past, and he
went forward in obedience to the
heavenly vision.
The understanding that man IL
spiritual and not material brings
hope and encouragement to those
who are struggling against sickness
and sin-discord of every kind. In
order to advance spiritually we need
to understand "the grand human ca
pacities of being" and allow no
thought of fear to prevent US from
claiming and proving our spiritual
dominion. Through the application

NEW PAMPHLET ISSUED BY TU.
BERCULOsIs ASSOCIATION

The Maryland tuberculosis Asso-
citation has a new phamphlet for dis
tribution to the business houses Of
the state concerning the problem of
hiring persons who have at one time
or another had tuberculosis.
1t has always been problem to
place people in jobs who have had a
history of tuberculosis. This new
pamphlet entitled shall / Hire
Them" is message to employers
concerning the employment of people
who have been cured of tuberculosis.
A person who has been discharged
from a sanatorium, the pamphlet
shows, is capable of handling a job
IL he has a doctors certificate prov
ing that the disease has been cured.
A cured case will not spread the in
lection further and is not menace
to those around them. Investigations
have shown on the contrary, that per-
sons cured of tuberculosis, who have
found places in business and indus
try, maintain higher degree of good
health and have less absences than
those not affected by the disease.
This is attributed to their regular
habits of eating, working and rest
ing. Moderation is their law of life
for their health has been dearly
bought and they intend to keep It,
1t is also shown that many people
cured of tuberculosis, If not given
work, will eventually become public
charges and be the responsibility of
the tax payer. These people, If CIV
en- the opportunity, are capable of
supporting themselves and helping
assume the responsibility Of support
ing the sanatoria which aided them.
This and other educational pamph-
let's concerning tuberculosis are made
possible by the sale of the Tubercu-
losis Christmas Seals.

win introduce a bill at the forthcom-

which to construct a memorial to
Thomas Jefferson, author Of the Dec

ident Of the United States, champion
of the public schools, and ardent ad-
vocate of religious liberty.
Although the form this memorial
will take and its location in the Ma
tional Capital have not been definite
ly determined, the proposed tribute
to Jefferson has for the past several
weeks created wide discussion
among officials and citizens, and has
occupied considerable space in, the
editorial columns Of the press.
Tentative plans have been made by
the Thomas Jefferson Memorial Com
mission, and drawings submitted by
n nationally known architect, to erect
q great monument wherein or where
ON will be displayed a heroic-sized
figure Of the eminent statesman.
One drawing depicts a circularshaped
building, another assumes the form
Of cross-shaped structure. The d.
mensions in both plans are about the
name-height 100 feet, length or
breadth 166 feet.

we begin to prove. little by little, that
man is the image and likeness of
God, and that he has dominion over
all the earth.
Various wrong conditions Of
thought attempt to impede our pro-
gress, but we can overcome them
through the power of Truth. Among
these are fear and self-pity. We may
fear that we are unable to work
out our problems. We may fear the
past or the future. Like the Israeli
ties of old we may believe that an
impossible sea stops our progress.
But there is always way through
the troubled waters If we are obedi-
emit and take the first step in denying
fear and obeying the divine command
to "go forward"
Self-pity may argue that our prob
lem is more than we can bear, that
no one else has such hard road to
travel. Perhaps custom, tradition,
love Of ease, may whisper, SIT had
been better for us to serve the Egyp-
tians, than that we should die in
the Wilderness"
Discouraging thoughts are false
suggestions of mortal mind, which
try to prevent our spiritual progress,

Mrs. Eddy writes, THE right way
wins the right of way, even the way
Of Truth and Love whereby all our
debts are paid, mankind blessed, and

progressive step glorifies God and
blesses mankind; and that which
benefits one must benefit others also.
We can confer no greater benefit on
those around US than to prove our
own individual spiritual dominion.
The knowledge of such dominion in
cludes recognition of our neighbours
rights. and there can be no friction
where there is loving obedience to
divine Principle; but the kingdom Of
God must first be established In our
own thinking If we are to be Of help

way Is the way Love points out; and
