Move Made in Senate
To Have j. :. Join
Peace Efforts
johnson Of Colorado
Wants Nation to Lend
Aid to NeutroIs
By ], A. O'LEARY.

A move to have this country join
with other neutrals in an effort to
end the war in Europe by armistice
and negotiation was launched in
the Senate today by Senator john
son, Democrat, of Colorado as de-
bate was resumed on the admin
istration's ''title-and-carry" neu-
trality bill.
The johnson resolution, which
was read to the Senate shortly after
noon, Immediately was referred to
the Foreign Relations Committee,
where it must be considered before
it can come up in the Senate.
If adopted, 1t would not have the
force of law. but would be an ex-
preston of the opinion of the Sem
ate that President Roosevelt should
join with other neutrals in asking
the warning nations to accept an
armistice pending settlement of
their differences.
"The best insurance for keeping
America out of the European war
will be to stop that war now," the
Colorado Senator declared in a
statement attached to the resolution.
Americans are proud and CRATE
full for the persistent efforts made
by the President of the United
States to prevent the European war, :"
the statement continued. These
courageous efforts should continue
even though the war is now an &C.
tuality.
Every possible pressure for peace
should be brought to bear upon the
belligerents by neutral states, and
the warning nations should be urged
to declare an armistice Immediately
so that the terms of an honorable
peace might be worked out around
the conference table
IF this war continues, millions of
women and children will be starved
by the blockades, millions of men
slaughtered at the front and billions
of taxpayers dollars will be squand-
cred. While such fire RACES, no
ones peace will be safe. Neutral
states all over the world are looking
to our great President to lead an
other effort for peace"
Text Of Resolution.
The text of the resolution follows:
hn ic ~ SN,, q
for the United States to use its best
efforts to promote an immediate
armistice in the war now being
waged in Europe; and
Whereas it is the sincere desire
of our President and the American
people to see an early termination
of such war; and
Whereas other neutrals are look
ing to us for leadership in a move
ment to that end; and
Whereas there is more glory and
courageousness in an honorable
peace than a bloody victory with its
attendant ills and sorrows, now
therefore be it
Resolved, that it is the sense of
the Senate that every effort should
be made by the United States in
conjunction with other neutral ma
tions to bring about an early ter
mination of the European conflict,
and to that end the President is
requested to join with other neutrals
in urging the nations that are now
at war to enter into an immediate
armistice as preliminary step
toward negotiations looking to the
complete, lasting and peaceful set
tlement of the various matters about
which they are in conflict"

Civic Problems, Civic Bodies
The Why Of Christmas Seals;
Party Leaders Fight for Suffrage

Forceful arguments have been
made on numerous occasions be-
fore the conventions Committees
on Resolutions but without sue
cess. At one Of the national Re-
publican conventions the District
delegates were able to get the
plank included in the preliminary
draft. The Resolutions Committee
adjourned for lunch. and an op-
ponent wired influential individ-
uals in Washington, with the re-
suit that the question was re-
considered after lunch and voted
down.
A very spectacular demonstra-
ton was put on before the 1896
Democratic Convention in Phila-
delphia by Commissioner George
E. Allen. Strong arguments were
made before the Resolutions
Committee, but the speakers
could not sell the idea of in
cluding such a plank. Just be-
fore the adjournment of the con-
vention a District delegate went
to the platform and was recog-
nized to introduce q resolution
which was adopted without q
dissenting vote. The resolution
Is as follows:

BY MRS. c. d, LOWE,

President. District of Columbia Congress Of
Parents and Teachers.
Somehow the weeks have such
sly habit of getting away from us
that before we know it one is gone
and another is here. So it is with
the months and years. November,
| 1t seems, just came in over the
horizon a day or two ago, but here
1t Is December already, and 50 does
time fly. Thus 1t Is that we come
to another holiday season-the one
month in the year when the atten-
ton OF every one is turned toward
the great world holiday-the season
that all the Christian world recog-
nizes as definitely its own.
And with the coming of this sea-
son Is also the recurrence of the
spirit of giving. know that to some
of us the Christmas season extends
throughout the year, for we see so
much need In so many places that
our efforts are never confined to
one season or one particular time
of the year.
But to the general public Decem-
Der means the month of giving
Of thinking of others. of doing for
others, of planning for the happi-
ness of others. There are the holi-
day decorations in the big downtown
stores to please the eye; the nu-
merous "Santas" to delight and be-
fuddle the children; the counters
Of temptingly displayed merchan-
disc almost irresistible in their ap-
peal to the esthetic eye; there is
every opportunity presented by
which the average individual may
crafty his or her desire to bring
happiness to those of the imme-
diate families by supplying thought
full or frivolous gifts. And If we
look only for this sort of thing the
Christmas season will mean no more
than this.
But if we take the trouble to seek
a little deeper, we will find many
things during this Christmas season
to surprise us-and perhaps to jar
us out of our self-complacency. We
will find children on the streets,
scantily clad, and scantily fed-be-
cause daddy has very little or no
work-or perhaps there is no daddy;
we will see salespeople in the stores
whose limbs ache and whose brains
are weary from the hours of waiting
on an exacting public; whose earn
ings are. perhaps, necessary to pro-
vide the bare necessities of life for
members of their families, unable
to work. We will discover children
to whom Christmas is just word,
unless the Washington public pro-
vides something else. Yes, If we
but look, we will be able to find
many places during this holiday
month where we may be of genuine
service to our communities; where.

House will acquiesce in the Sen
ate's increase of the lump-sum
Federal share of the District
budget. The plan devised by
Senator Overton for the payment
of a definite proportion based on
the area of Federal real estate
holdings would be a more busi-
nesslike way to apportion the
financial burden between the Ma
tion and the local community.
Congress, however, frequently de-
clines to adopt the most business
like and most equitable solutions
of the problems with which it is
confronted.
There is really nothing. the
people of the District can do
about it. Even if they had the
power to elect their own local

government this problem would
continue unsolved. Only through
the possession of voting repre-
sentation in the House and the
Senate can there be any posi-
bility of obtaining equitable
treatment either as to the Federal
share or in desired legislation of
any character.
The Congress always has the
last word and always has had.
The reason that the people of
the States have more influence
with Congress as to District af-
fairs is because their elected rep
resentatives will do their bidding
or go back home to stay. Some
people say, What could few

Fiscal Relations and Taxation

The indications are that once

by the ever-recurring controversy
in Congress over District taxation
and the fiscal relations between
the United States and the Dis
trict Governments. The local
income tax is expected to be at
tackled in the courts as discrim-

There Is no more convenient
and easy way of performing 4
civic duty and having a real part
IN a successful fight than is af-
forded by the purchase and use
OF the attractive tuberculosis
Christmas Seals. The District Of
Columbia tuberculosis Associ-
alton Is waging winning battle
against the white plague and the
sale OF these little seals is in
large measure supplying the am
munition.
Most people use seals of some
kind on their gifts, their Christ

cards and even on their corre-
spondence. Now before you Law

The District of Columbia has
long been stronghold of the

the National Capital an unen-
v1able reputation. Washington
has one of the highest tubercu-

any city of the country. Through

science, vigilance and care have
seemingly turned the tide. The

The adoption of this resolution
has led some people to believe
that the convention put into the
party platform a plank indorsing
the granting Of suffrage to the
District. Some speakers and
writer's have even demanded that
the party fulfill the pledge in its
platform and give the District
the vote. There is not now and
never has been such plank in
any national party platform of

Cutting Interest Cost
Requires Congressional Action.
To the Engineer Commissioner,
Col McCoach, is due the credit
of proposing a refunding through
the Washington banks of the
P. w. A. loans to the District.
The interest rate charged the
District by the United States
Government on these advances,
which are to be repaid, is 4 per
cent.
1t Is understood that the money
to repay the United States in
full may be had from the banks
at a much lower rate of interest
and upon the same plan of re-
payment. Our local government
has no authority to undertake
the refunding of the loans and
thus must seek congressional
action.

The tWo-and-a-half day hear
ing of the views of citizens on the
proposed reorganization of the
District government before the
Commissioners of the District Of
Columbia was the most important
civic event of the week. The
response to the invitation Of the
Commissioners was both large
and represented a fair cross-sec-
ton of civic opinion.
The hearing proved highly sat-
isfactory in many ways, and the
Commissioners were warmly
praised for their uniform cour-
tesy and patience. Very few ques-
tions were asked by the Commis-
sioners and then only to clarity
the meaning Of a speaker.
Most of the spokesmen for the
various groups came well pre-
pared for the presentation Of
their views and constructive,
rather than destructive criticism
was the general order. The indi-
cations are that the hearings
have produced many suggestions
which the Commissioners will
find helpful in the formulation of
their report to the Kennedy Sub
committee of the House District
Committee.
The Community Chest Cam
paign completed its extended pc
riod within six and two thirds

Some of the tireless workers are
continuing on the job to carry
tie fund over the top. There is
still opportunity for further self
examination and sessions with
ones conscience to find the way
for any of us to revise our sub
scriptions upward. It may be
that the person reading these
lines has been overlooked in the
canvass or has put of doing his

National Capital Parks Is an
other current document for the
careful study of the civic Or
ganizations. The question of
park and recreation land ac-
QUESTION and development as well
as the operation Of the recreation
areas are embraced in this report.
The survey was made by direc-
ton Of the Secretary Of the In
terror.
The report is critical of the
policy of acquiring such lands
more rapidly than the provision
of funds for their care and de-
velopment. Some civic groups
have been making similar criti-
cisms. The fact of the matter is
that citizens have been generally
agreed that it is good policy to
acquire desirable available sites
for such purposes before being
built upon and while procurable
at a low price. That was a plan
everybody wanted and continues
popular.

Many Legends Concerning
Origin of Fairy Crosses

According to Simpsons Nuggets
Of knowledge" fairy crosses are
crystals Of staurolite, a dark silicate
Of aluminium and iron. They are
found in Maine, New Hampshire,
Massachusetts, North Carolina,
Georgia, Virginia and few have
been reported in Minnesota and 9TH
er states. Although the best speci-
mems are perhaps found in Patrick
county, Virginia, they are more
abundant in other localities, par
ticularly Fannin county, Georgia.
Nearly perfect crosses have been
found, but most Of them must be
trimmed to some extent.
There are various legends among
the Blue Ridge mountaineers con-
corning the origin Of these crosses.
The legend from which they receive
their name is as follows:
When Jesus was crucifled, elfin
messengers carried the news to all
parts Of the world. When the It'd
ings reached the fairies in the Blue
Ridge mountains, they began to
weep and as they wept the tears fell
upon the earth and crystalized into
little pebbles, on which was formed
a beautiful cross.
