Randolph Asks Large Vote.
Representative Jennings Randolph,
Democrat, of West Virginia, co-author
of the wis-Randolph joint resolu-
ton, appealed yesterday for a big
turnout of the vote, at luncheon
meeting of the Junior Board of Com
merce at the Annapolis Hotel.
Pointing to relationships through
out the world, and the fact that
Americans generally are "decrylng'
conditions abroad, the speaker de-
clared the finest thing" that could
be done to demonstrate American be-
lief in her own democracy would be
to give the District of Columbia the
highest type of citizenship now
available to the 48 States"
Paying tribute to those who had
fought the battle for a District vote
over many years, he called on the
youth OF the Junior Board to JOIN
hands with him and other new forces
to make this dream become a dy-
manic reality"
There should be no segment of
the country deprived OF the right OF
franchise he declared
Lyle F. ORourke, president Of the
Junior Board. presided. and. with
Bradford Ross, chairman of the Ma
tional Representation Committee, an
nounced plans for the rally tonight.
Indians" Stage Tea Party"
Following the luncheon a group of
Indians from the Junior Board went
to the water front, where they par
ticipated in an old-fashioned Boston
Tea Party" Dressed in costume, they
threw overheard several boxes of tea"
marked by the names of local taxes.
Taxation without representation, :"
paraphrased Mr.. O'Rourke, "is ter
rible!"
The Indian division of the Junior
Board" he declared. protests the
imposition of taxes on citizens and
residents of the District of Columbia
without national representation.
"As young business and profess
sional men, the Junior Board feels we
are more directly affected than any
other single group, since we are merely
beginning our business span and we
must carefully guard that the future
will bring greatest good for ALL"

Minister the Covenant-First Presbyterian

Religious Life in the Nations Capital.
was asked this morning to send in
my reactions to the proposed suffrage
ballot which is to take place on Satur-
day. They are as follows:
The proposed plebiscite for the
citizens Of Washington is a whole
some undertaking regardless of its
outcome One of it's immediate re-
suits should be to redeem us from the
indifference on the subject of the
popular franchise which is so pre-
valent throughout the city I think
every one who can possibly do so
should cast a ballot. Although a
voting citizen in California I propose
to cast my ballot as an expression of
sentiment
I believe very strongly that the
citizens of the District of Columbia
should have representation in Con-
gress on the same basis as the States,
and that it might be we'll to expert
ment with city manager designated
by executive appointment in place of
the commission form of government
In these matters speak only for
myself, of course.

A city-wide plebiscite is an awaken
ing Of Washington to great opportu-
nifty. Years have passed since WASH
ington politically registered its voice on
great questions. Saturday will register
the resurrection of an ancient privilege,
and We hope of a constant responsible

Curious and interesting circum- stances: One of the baby's shoes was found on top of a four-foot wall-beyond the baby's own reach. However, a trif1e like that would not detain an eminent hospital chief long when he is speaking for publi- cation. One has to make hay while the sun shines.
 Seriously, isn't it about time that the publicity hungry members of our noble profession take an evening of and brush up bit on physiology -20th century physiology? If they will do this they will not so readily make monkeys of themselves. They will be astonished to learn that no one has ever proved that anything is absorbed through the unbroken skin-either water or food or medi- cine or poison.
 It would be miracle indeed, if a child should survive five days on water absorbed through the skin.

A MIRACLE IS CHILD'S PLAY
 FOR SOME DOCTORS

A metropolitan paper pulled a smart one on a number ot doctors who were pathetically eager to get their names in the paper, at the time a lost baby was found. It seems there was some doubt whether the baby had been kidnapped or whether he had just wandered away. Anyway he was found in the underbrush hVe days after he had disappeared. First the doctor in charge of the little hospital where the child was taken for treatment announced m that ponderous way that the infant could have lived for five days on grass. taking in sufficient water through the pores to prevent de- ; hydration.
 This doctor thus unpretentiously brushed aside all the teachings of ' physiologistS and told the world that in pinch the human skin can take in water through the pores.
 Of course the physiologists realize that they are mere laboratory work CTS and have not had the advantage of actual practice, actual contact with newspaper reporters and the boon of wide acquaintnce with an admiring public. Maybe if they d 7 come out of the laboratory and at- tend a few snappy sessions Of the s Rotary club they'd learn what's go- , ing on in the world. It seems regret table that the physiologists should 1 be so positive that nothing is ab- sorbed through the pores or through the skin, neither water nor food nor { medicine nor poison, when this emil nent hospital director so easily dl- vines from his inner consciousness that the life of the infant in this in stance was saved by the imbibing of water through the pores.
 A medical woman, associate ot the hospital director, got in on the free publicity, too. "He could not have , lived without water" she added. s.and while it is true that the body absorbs a good deal of water through the skin, I doubt that in this case it would have been enough to main tain life"
 Now that's what I call a good healthy doubt. More power to the good Woman's doubter. If she has to work with or under the doctor who reverses the functions of the skin she will have frequent occasion fo start up her doubter. In fact she should keep it idling constantly while her chief is about.
 The big chief even suggests where the 21-months-old infant obtained the water to absorb through the skin. It dropped onto his skin as he tottered through drenched thick cts.

takes concentration to decide, the suit does need pressing.
 Worry about his waistline the mo- ment it begins to bulge instead of waiting until his stomach actually protrudes. Oh. he'll exercise-sure he will-if you urge him diplomati- cally, thinking your campaign through to a finish and rehearsing tactful speeches before you say a word to him. Anyway, without say ing word, you can get calorie charts and plan appetizing, seemingly hL-e, he-man meals that are low in caloric content. If you are going to keep your own figure slender and youthful through the years, it won't be much more trouble to worry about his at the same time.
 You might try, we repeat. If you fail, he'll forget you ever tried. If you are subtitle enough, he'll never know you were really trying any way. And if you succeed, the way he looks over there on your dinner hostess right will be ample re- ward.

In this day and age of good housekeeping, chapter on home conditions may seem useless. but let us go on with it anyway, if only to give the tired mother a hand when she wonders why she tries so hard to keep things nice and mo- body seems to appreciate it.
 InstilI Self-Respect
 She may not realize that her nicely scrubbed kitchen or her smoothly-spread beds, the mend ed clothes and carefully-set tables are having an effect upon Cile char acter of the family, but these things are the very essence of self-respect It is not only true that cleanliness (and order) is next to godliness, but that the two are almost in- separable.
 The little child who goes to school all tousled and unkempt, won't compare himself to the few who keep his company in his looks, but to those others, the peter -groomed. He won't hang his head and show that he is ashamed. Maybe he isn't ashamed at that. But he is quietly sorting his place in things. It won't be at the top. He says to himself. T don't belong. I may as well act that way, too." And maybe he learns to hate children not in his own fix.
 He makes a survey of the aver age, and that's what he wants to be, generally speaking. He need not be as well dressed as the richer child, but his clothes should be somewhere as near to what most of the others are wearing And they should be in order.
 1 Reduce Work Home? How can you keep home bright and clean with all you have to do, mother? We'll, you can't do more than your strength permits, that's sure, or your time, either, so just do the best you can. But many homes are complicated by too many tl--ngs It might help to strip away the extras and the clutter. It is better to sacrifice some luxury to peace of mind
 Not only this, but the family should help. Let each member do his bit to help you along. After all, it is their house as we'll as yours. Then, too, every child can learn to slick himself up. Even tiny children can pick up brush and wash rag and go at it.
 Order and cleanliness is such an important factor in family happi- ness and self-respect that they are worth a tremendous effort to cb- tain. Pride in person, pirde in house and pride in place count for more than many parents think. | NEXT-How children borrow fam

Vests second-round bid Of one
no-trump with one small spade was
OF course an out-and-out psychic.
But there was shrewd reasoning be-
hind his bid. In the first place,
there was very little chance that
he would play the hand at this con-
tract and in fact he was very much
afraid that North and South could
make a game in spades. Thus
psychic one no-trump had a dual
purpose behind it. First, West
hoped that this bid might deter his
opponents from going higher in
spades than he could afford to
overcall with hearts. Secondly, West
hoped that in the event that his
opponents finally obtained the con-
tract in spades, his one no-trump
bid might protect some possible
spade honor in his partners hand.
While we feel that South should
have solved the problem presented
to him, wem ust admit that the
psychic bid certainly worked. Against
five spades, West opened the king
OF hearts, then shifted to a club.
After winning with the ace, South
led a spade, confidently finessed
West for the King and was promptly
set by club return!
Would You have been deceived by
vests tricky bid?
