Return Of Power
To People Is Urged
By Senator Davis
Declares U. S. Spending
Deprives Them Of
'RightfuI Profit
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 17-Senator
James j. Davis declared tonight
there could be mo rightful profit"
for agriculture, labor or industry las
long as men are permitted under
the guise of liberalism to make an
unfair profit for themselves out of
the Government"
The Pennsylvania Republican,
criticizing Government spending,
charged in an address prepared for
the Pennsylvania Society of New
York that "a dangerous attempt"
has been made to substitute "the
age-long peril of Government as a
party right and for partisan profit"
for the idea of American Govern
ment of liberty and equality"
He advocated return" of the peo-
pie to power as a remedy for what
he termed IAN over-exalted power
Of state" adding.
whenever government ceases to
be the servant of the people and
begins to exist for itself. good gov
ernment ends and official corruption
begins. The people must exer-
else their constitutional right of
driving from Office those who have
usurped the power which belongs to
the people alone. The people should
return to power, not through revo-
luton, nor by the way of hate, nor
BY resort to crack-pot schemes, nor
through labor or industrial violence.
The people must return to power
within themselves. Every man must
be the keeper of his own mind and
heart, for out of them proceed the
issues Of democracy"
The Senator declared "one-man
government" war, restrictive leg
islation excessive governmental
spending" or class conflict" would
not restore America to power or
protect our local liberties"
National leaders, who forget God
and the people, have nothing to
Offer" he continued. I'VE have
tried the roads of bureaucracy, re-
stricted production and planned
scarcity. These have failed. =
Our republican institutions of gov
ernment come from the people, not
from the word of one man. May we
have liberalism which will say truly
with Jefferson, Equal opportunity
for all and special privilege for
none May we have a liberalism
which will follow Lincoln, who
taught us that the Government of
the people, by the people and for
the people shall not perish from the
EARTH"
Partisan Spending Charged.
He asserted that any one who
seeks to upset or overturn the
American ideal of equality is essen
TALLY un-American" and charged
that public funds had been spent
"by the billion" to make the Gov
ernment all-powerful.
Many" he said, have come to
accept the idea that the Govern
ment exists for itself and those who
fatten at the public trough. Vast
sums have been Withdrawn from
ordinary channels of trade and
commerce, keeping labor, business
and agriculture weak, in order to
make Government needlessly strong.
These funds have been spent in a
partisan way for the perpetuation
of one party in power"

Why Columbia District
Residents Do Not Vote

The Constitution provides that the
presidential electors and members
of Congress shall be elected to rep
resent states. The District of Co.
lumbia is not state, nor a part of
any state, and it's citizens do not
have the right to vote in the presi-
dental and congressional elections
any more than do those other citi-
zens of the United States who live in
the territories.
That there would be no conflict
of authority, it was provided that
the government of the District Of
Columbia should rest in Congress.
In former times Washington and
Georgetown were provided with
municipal governments, with cleo
tive officers, similar to those of 9TH
er cities. After period of extrava-
gance and civic neglect, congress
established. in 1874, the present
commission form of government,
administered by appointive, rather
than elective officials. Since then
the citizens of the district have
been without a vote in local as well
as national affairs.

UNEMPLOYMENT COMPENSA.
TON CHECKS

When the employees of the Mary
and Unemployment Compensation
Board ceased work on Sunday night,
February 13, after most strenuous
week, a total of 37,416 checks had
oeen mailed to beneficiaries Of the
unemployment section of the Social
Security Act OF this vast pile of
checks, more than 10000 were
mailed ON Sunday, the biggest day
20 date for check production. Two
days earlier a record of more than
5000 checks was made for a single
day.
This aggregate Of 37,416 checks
represented $4,000 in cash, and
most of the $4,000 claims which have
now been filed. OF course not all CT
these $4,000 claims will be paid, as
not less than one-third fail to COM
ply with the law. The average of the
checks is now between IS and 50.

WHY
Early Morning Is the Best Time
for a Walk.

Walking in cool air hastens the
interchange of oxygen and carbon
dioxide, the most necessary of all
the bodily functions.
In this action it resembles the in
gestion of protein foods, which i'm
mediately increases this inter-
change, and keeps it at an increased
pace for several hours. This is one
of the little-known facts of food
chemistry, and one of the real rea-
sons why the eating of protein foods
causes such an increase of the feel
ing of comfort. It Is not entirely
stomach, by any means, although
it begins there, according to an au-
thority in the Washington Star.
Walking in cool air is much better
from all standpoints than the same
exercise in air which comes within
20 to 80 degrees of approximating
that of the human body, kept con-
stantly at SO degrees and fraction.
Probably the best temperature for
an average walk of two to four miles
is As to SIS degrees.
This means that at first one will
have to step out, in order to warm
up.
1t also means that early morning
is the best walking time.

Table Manners

Manners vary considerably in diff
ferent parts of the world-especially
table manners. What we would con-
slider terribly rude in this country is
regarded as excellent in India, says
London Tit-Bits Magazine. If you
dine with an Indian in his country
you are expected to lick the platter
clean-to leave anything on your
plate is an insult to his food. Be
sure to call for a second helping of
everything in a loud voice, and a
third, if possible. Always praise
the items and give the impression
that the food Is delicious. You are
expected to desist when you cannot
eat more, not when you have had
sufficient. Patting your stomach
as proof is one sign. Indians are
great eaters, and "strong" and
"fat" are synonymous, especially
among the "bannia" (shopkeeper)
class. Among them it is common
practice to tie a length of cotton
around their waists and eat until
their stomach swells and the cot
ton snaps. Then they cease imme-
diately.

DON'T DRIVE NPULSIVELY

A light foot and a gentle hand
should be the slogan OF all motor
ists," according to Charles A.
Chayne, safety expert. who adds:
Don't be impulsive covers all driv-
ing conditions, summer and winter
You can crack up on a dry pavement
with perfect conditions as quickly al
on a wet or icy road under bad con
ditions if you are not doing the righ'
thing. A motorist need remember
only one fundamental rule, and tina,
is: Don't do anything jerkily. This
rule applies to steering the car and
to increasing or decreasing it's speed
Don't take your foot off the acceler-
ator suddenly. 1t is the same as ap-
plying brakes to the rear wheels and
may cause a skid. Avoid it by slow
ly releasing your accelerator pedal.
Don't slam on your brakes, especial
ly on icy or wet pavements. Antici-
pate your stops and take it easy ana
you won't come to grief.
Don't start up in low gear on
ice. With the tremendous power OF
today's automobiles you can apply
so much power to the rear wheels
in low gear that they can be made
to spin on dry gravel or concrete
pavement. In low gear, it is almosl
impossible to operate the accelerator
delicately enough to prevent the
wheels from spinning on ice. There
fore, always start up in second OF
high gear on slippery roads to keep
your car under control"

by the uncertainty of outlook for

strikes and Government competition
with private enterprise with which
commerce and industry have been

tically agreed in their opinions.

@. 1853 My husband has just

A. 1853 The Social Security
Board is making lump-sum payments
to eligible workers, or to the estate

fact that a lump-sum payment may
be due them under the law. Whether
payment is due to you can not be
determined on the basis OF the in
formation you have given. Call at,
or write to your Social Security
Board Field Office for information
and assistance.
Q. 154 read in the paper the
other day that if woman gets mar
ried and changes her name she should
