Warning against deadly Rocky

DR.. Bishop advised cutting tall

tick carrying the fever germ.
Dogs should be inspected fre'
quently and ticks removed with

which carries the germ is indis'

In case a tick bites you, remove
it at once, sterilize the wound

Doubts "the People" Can Rule

A MOTHER Los Angeles reader says: "You say
"A purchasing power can't be created But as
I understand it, the Government Is the people
for the people, by the people. am sureit can
be done by the people, and enclose proposed
California retirement life payments act that
would do it,
Answer: You might just as well argue that
"the people, can control the weather, or that
they can give everybody good health. Can "the
people" in convention assembled create happiness
or give every man everything he wants?
Nobody wants money for itself. 1t depends on
what it will buy. The two real questions are:
Cd Are there enough goods of all sortS-modern
houses, trailers, steamboat trips. tenderloin
steaks, ETC., etc.-for everybody? (2) If we print
more and more currency, will prices stay down
and the purchasing power of the currency be
maintained? History proves over and over again
that the answer to both questions is, no!
Your California retirement" scheme is sheer
nonsense. If enforced, it would kill business in
your State.

rise from the comfort Of their armchairs and
take more active interest in the affairs of their

of his own pocketbook, his interest in democ-

The Roosevelt suggestion, however, is not
original. It is simply reverse English, with q
so per cent reduction to make it look like
horse of another color from what the Australians
have long been doing.
The commonwealth government slaps a fine
of $40 on every Australian over 81 who fails to
vote without some justifiable excuse.

Just Suspicious
REcENTLY the equivalent to the supreme court
OF AuSCfaua declared Two administrator"
backed pieces of legislation passed by Parliament
were unconstitutional.
The government put the issues involved up
to the people. Both proposed constitutional
amendments were soundy defeated by the people.
Now the Australian government is talking of
changing the method of amending the constitu-
ton. It declares that the necessity Of putting
constitutional amendment questions up to the
people is no good. The people are too dumb to
understand that the politicians trying to pro-
duce for them-the people-"a living, flexible
constitution"
Maybe the Australian people are dumb-or
just downright suspicious. Twenty amendments
have been proposed since 1901-and the Aus
traian people have seen fit to accept only three.
Or, it may be that this time Australias gov
ernment is borrowing little philosophy of the
Washington Government!

Something Inside Gone

IVES. getting old is q tragic and sad business
at best, and cannot help but admire the
gallant men and women who fight it to the last
ditch. When you once really start going down
the hill, instead Of up. there's something inside
OF you which is gone; and no plastic surgeon,
no beautiful clothes and no drinking to forget"
can ever bring it back.
am going to close my column today with
some verses which think describe this SO well:
There are gains for all our losses,
There are balns for all our pain;
But when youth, the dream, departs,
It takes something from our hearts,
And it never comes again.
Something beautiful is vanished
And we sigh for it in vain:
We behold it everywhere,
On the earth, and in the air,
But it never comes again"

BY HOUSE GROUP.
Summers Pledges Full
Study Of Issue
By JULIA A. BONWIT

Early consideration by the House
Judiciary Committee Of the Dis
trict's plea for a voice in the Gov
eminent was promised today by
Representative Hatton w. Sum-
ners CD of Texas, chairman.
With three days Of testimony
behind the committee, the chair
man stated his committee will
meet some time next week, as
soon as the hearings are pub
lished, to consider a report en-
pending suffrage legislation.
During the hearings Representa-
tive Summers questioned propo-
nents closely on the question of the
possibility of recalling any Suf-
frage action Congress might take,
in the event it should be discov-
cred the action should be revoked
after experiment.
Spokesman for the legislation
contended that granting of ma
tional suffrage, that is, the vote
for presidential elections and for
members of both houses of Con-
gresS, would not be subject to re-
call, except by constitutional
amendment.
On the other hand, it was point
ed out that should Congress set
up a form of self-government for
the residents of the District, that
action could be revoked by the
Congress.
SUTER LEADS FIGHT
The proponents side was led by
Jesse Suter, chairman of the Citi-
zens Joint Committee on National
Representation, and Wilbur s.
Finch, chairman of the Citizens
Conference on District Suffrage,
who introduced numerous SpokeS-
men for a large number Of organi-
cations, both local and national.
The plea that suffrage should
be granted to the District for the
sake of its youth was laid before
the committee by two women yes
terday. both prominent in local
affairs.
The first was Mrs. Henry Graf
tan Doyle, president of the Board
of Education and an ardent Suf-
frage worker, who pointed out
that democracy does not exist for
children who have no right to par
ticipate in their government when
they reach maturity.
Mrs. Harvey w. Wiley argued
along the same lines, declaring
that it would be refreshing" at
this time while other nations are
in the throes of totalitarianism,
for this country to grant a meas
ure of democracy to the youth
resident in the National Capital.
MRS. GUTENBERG TALKS
Several other women testified
yesterday, among them Mrs. Louis
Gutenberg, president of the Vote
less District of Columbia League
of Women Voters, and Mrs. Harris
T. Baldwin, vice president of the
National League of Women Voters
both of whom made a strong plea
for the establishment of a demo-
cratic form of government for the
residents Of the District.
Grover C. Ayers, secretary of
the Ten Mile Square Club, was
the chief spokesmen for the oppo-
sition. He and other opposition
representatives stated the District
is well governed now and change
in procedure would lead to the
prevalence Of partisan politics
here.

Wherefore, with Burgin getting the
nomination, it puts him in the posi-
ton of the perfect-peacemaker. For
he will be holding the olive branch
in mailed fist. The gossip grows
that Burgin will do this and that the
case will not go to the Supreme
court unless Deane carries it there.
During the late hearing in Raleigh,
IBurgin made this proposal in Judge
iEarris's court, Governor Ehringhaus
declaring that repeatedly in the inter
est of party peace and common good
feeling Burgin had offered to re-
tire. The turn of events sent Burgir
to the courts where he meant to
make defense of his people who were
under suspicion, to say the least.
