Her hours are long and unbroken.
She has no 40 hour week-she is

Of the demands of her family. She

Seeks Questions
II invite open discussion" Miss
Gilbert said. "I use the informal,

ture system and cultivate ques-
tions." She urged housewives to
bring pencil and paper with them,
SO that they may take notes. She
will also answer any written ques-
tions sent to her.
II stress fundamental principles
of cookery rather than specific re-
cipes,' Miss Gilbert declared, "and
emphasize cooking as a means of
self expression rather than routine
drudgery" Her recipes are drawn
with an eye to economy and SIM

Parking Lot Assault
Case Is Dismissed

Judge Walter J. Casey in Police
Court yesterday dismissed an as
sault charge against Samuel L. Low
enbein, 50. former operator of a
District-owned parking lot at John
Marshall place and Constitution
avenue NV, after the complainant,
Attorney Harry Lore of Bethesda,
Md, failed to appear to prosecute
the case.
Mr.. Lore, an employe Of the Fed
eral Trade Commission on writ
ten complaint charged Mr.. Loven-
bein struck him in the mouth as
he was parking his car on the lot
on September %. Mr.. Lore said he
was struck because he refused to
park his machine elsewhere, as or
dered by Mr.. Lovenbein.
The case was set for assignment
to jury on November l6, but
Mr.. Lore was out of the city. The
case was continued until yester-
day. On learning that Mr.. Lore was
again out of the city on official busi-
ness, Judge Casey upheld the mo-
ton of Defense Attorney John F.
Hillyard for dismissal.

The Political Mill
President Faces Question Of Whether He Thinks
Murphy Greater VoIue on Bench or in Executive Post

had to study law from the admins
trative side, and he knows lot
about the law. For five years while
he was in Detroit he was an instruc-
tor in law at the University of De-
troit.
1t is up to the President to de-
eide whether he believes that Mr..
Murphy will be of greater value to
the country on the bench or in
executive Office, to decide whether
he can spare him from the Office
which he now holds.
Liberal Philosophy.
The President has appointed four
members of the present Supreme
Court. They have the same liberal
philosophy as the Chief Executive
His fifth appointment to the court
will make certain liberal majority
for many years to come, and leave
the Presidents impress strong on
the highest court. Mr.. Murphy has
that same liberal philosophy and a
keen desire to see Government aid
in solving the problems of the peo-
Pile AS a member of the court he
would fill completely the Presidents
idea of liberal and upright jurist
A mans religious beliefs and his
membership in any particular
church properly cannot decide his
appointment to the Supreme Court.
His qualifications for the job alone
must govern. But when those quail
ficationS are present, it is human
to consider the fact that there are
10000, 900 members of the Catholic
Church in America and that there
is now no member of the Supreme
Court who is member of that
church. Mr.. Murphy is Catholic.
Others who might be considered
for this appointment, especially If
the President determines to name
a Catholic, includes Judge John
Patrick Devaney, chief justice of the
Supreme Court of Minnesota; JUS
tice Harold NJ Stephens of the
United States Court of Appeals of
the District of Columbia, and Judge
John J. Burns, general counsel for
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission when Joseph P. Kennedy,
now American Ambassador to Great
Britain. was head of the commits
sion. Judge Burns is a Massa-
chusetts man and Justice Stephens
is from Utah.

And What
They:D
Germany Pins Faith
On q Man Harvard U.
Coils q Magician
BY LEMUEL F. PARTON.

A tall, bald, monocled miracle
man Is Germany's hope in the cru
cial struggle for wartime fuels. With
the current news story that the
Reich's 1889 production of "ersatz"
gasoline will reach 12,75O,0OO barrels,
it is revealed that DR.. Friedrich
Bergius is the wizard out of the
brothers Grimm to whom Germany
always turns in her fairy tales and
wars. His are the patents for lique-
flying and hydrogenizing coal and
conjuring it into gasoline. As
huge new plant gets under way at
Stettin he is perhaps the most i'm
portant single individual in the
Reich, as the new fuel is still in
adequate, both in quantity and quail
lty, and they expect him to bring it
through.
1t was Harvard University which
tagged him as modern magician"
when he was given an honorary de-
gree at the tercentennial celebra-
ton several years ago. His patents
for making synthetic gasoline were
among those seized by Mitchell
Palmer, alien property custodian, in
the World War. The American
chemical industry took them over
with avid interest, but were disap-
pointed to find that the Germans
had held out the master key in each
case.
DR.. Bergius, 81 years old, is also
an industrialist and keen business
man and in 1881 received the Nobel
Prize, with Carl Bosch, for his work
in liquefying coal. He was an asso-
ciate and co-worker of the great
scientist Haber, who conveniently
passed a miracle for Germany in
the World War, and helped prolong
the same, by taking nitrogen out of
the air. Haber dissented from the
Nazi dogmas and died in ignominy.
DR.. Bergius caught step nicely and
is an eager champion of national
socialism, although he did sidestep
the plan to produce pure Aryan,
non-JeWish atom. He is always ele-
gantly groomed, quite British in
appearance and is always photo
graphed with his hat on. That is
because he is completely bald. He
can make meat out of sawdust and
sulphur, but he hasn't yet developed
a hair reStorer.

Visitor From India
Describes Fight for
Democratic Rule
Founder Of Women's
Conference Speaker
At Porty Tea

1ndia's fight for Regeneration"
and democratic rule was described
by Nine. Kamaladevi Chattopad-
hyaya, founder and vice president
of the All-India Women's Confer
ence, in an address at tea given
yesterday by the National Woman's
Party in her honor at its head
quarters in the Alva Belmont House,
144 B street NE.
Referring to whatever contrib
utions India may be called on to
make-as a subject of Great Britain
toward helping in the war, Nine.
Kamaladevi declared: 1--WE can't
leave our own house in mess and
run around and help put another's
house in order"
Wants National Reform.
Speaking on The Position of
Women in India" Nine Kamaladevi
said there has never been any
attempt in India to deny women
their rights" and indicated that
women's participation in political
affairs is more for a general "re-
generation" and complete demo-
cratic rule with view to furthering
the welfare of India's population.
1--WE want a national government
that can bring about national re-
FORM she said. She deplored the
lack of schools in India and advo-
Gated home rule to further edu-
cation and advancement. In a brief
reference to the employment situa-
tion, Nine. Kamaladevi declared
that when people in her country
have" no jobs they just starve," j"
adding there is mo relief of any
kind"
In the provinces where the public
has voted for officials, the women
have shown a greater interest than
the men, the speaker said, with from
rs to 80 per cent OF the women vot-
ing against from so to 10 per cent of
the men who cast votes.
Has Worked With Gandhi.
Nine. Kamaladevi is 36, a grad
uate in sociology at the University
of London and has worked with Ma
hatma Gandhi for independence in
India, she explained in an inter-
view before speaking. Referring to
the fight for democratic rule, she
declared:
"If England is interested in de-
mocracy,. then she should give it to
her own subjects"
Nine. Kamaladevi came to this
country for a visit three weeks ago
and came on to Washington after
spending two weeks in New York.
She hopes to be able to attend the
Conference on the Cause and Cure
of War, scheduled to meet here in
January, she said.
The speaker was introduced by
Mrs. Marie Moore Forrest, chair
man of the District Branch of the
National Woman's Party. Follow
ing the. address Nine. Kamaladevi
answered questions, a number of
which were asked by Mrs. Harvey w.
Wiley, national chairman Of the
National Woman's Party.
