Representation
Plan Backed
ByVan Nuys
New Senate Judiciary
Head Soon to Name
Subcommittee TO Act

The District suffrage movement
was given new impetus today by
the announcement of Senator Van
NuyS, Democrat, of Indiana, re-
Gently appointed chairman of the
Judiciary Committee, that he favors
the cbjectiveS of the proposed Sum-
ners-Capper constitutional amend
ment
The Indiana Senator revealed at
the same time that he will name a
special subcommittee before the end
of the week to take up the question.
II am in favor of the general OBJ
jectives of the resolution" said
Senator Van Nuys, land will try
to select a well-balanced and i'm
partial committee to consider 1t.
My reasons for favoring it are
that members of Congress are so
busy, engaged in national problems,
that they are able to pay little if
any attention to scores of bills re-
lating to the District
Deserve Voice In Congress.
"The city is growing at a rapid
rate, and its residents deserve some
form of representation or voice on
the floors of the two houses Of
Congress"
Senator Van Nuys indicated he is
not so much concerned at this
time with the form Of suffrage that
should be granted as with the pri-
mary step of considering the con-
stitutional amendment that would
vest in Congress the necessary au-
thority to act on the subject
AS introduced by Senator Capper,
Republican, of Kansas 10 days ago,
the pending Senate resolution cor
responds to the House resolution as
originally introduced in the last
Congress by Chairman Summers Of
the House Judiciary Committee and
favorably reported to the House.
May Set Up New Government.
1t provides that, when submitted
to and ratified by the required num-
Der of States, the amendment would
empower Congress to provide for
the people Of the District represen-
tation in Congress and in the elec-
toral college, no greater than that
of the people Of the States, and
to delegate to such government as
Congress may establish therein all
or any Of its power over said Dis
trict."
BY this language. the proposed
amendment would give Congress a
free hand to determine what de-
gree of local Self-govenment should
be granted along with national
representation.
In the last Congress the House
judiciary Committee. on August 5.
reported out the Summers resolution,
modified to limit national repre-
sentation to the House of Repre-
SentativeS. The resolution died
with the expiration Of the Seventy
sixth Congress on January 3, and
must go through the House COM
mittee again.

Rare CoIors as Well as Art
Go Into Quebec's Hundicruft

women have developed an alchemy
of rare colors to get fine shades.
Sometimes they attempt to re-
produce the afterglow along the
Laurentian crests, or seek to pre-
serve the greens of the river shore
foliage. The colors for which they
search are all in nature, and the
dyes they use are provided by ma
ture's vegetables.
While engaged in any of the
home tasks, the French Canadian,
man or woman, will be found al
most always rocking in their great
homemade chairs. For, next to
singing and dancing, they like rock
ing. Every kitchen-living-room has
at least one rocker-it is the center
piece of interior decoration in
French Canada as the chesterfield
is in the American home. The rare
French-Canadian home has a double
rocking chair so that two may sit
side by side and rock while chap
eron grandmere goes on with her
rug making.
And while the rockers rock, on
the front porch during the summer
and by the Quebec heater in the
winter, the business of handicrafts
goes on and with each rug or blan-
ket or quaint ceinture fiechee, the
colorful arrow sash now worn by
skiers, a little bit more of the his
tory of Quebec goes out to the
world.

Wafer Skiing Meet
To Be Held in Nassau

NASSAU, Bahamas, March l.
Water skiing will celebrate its birth
day this month when the second
annual water skiing championships
take place at Nassau.
The water skiing tournament,
scheduled for March % and %, will
be directed by Capt. Darcy Ruther-
ford. English sportsman who in
vented water skiing at Monte Carlo
and later introduced the sport at
Nassau, from whence it spread
throughout the United States and
Canada. -.-
Although it is thrilling to per-
former and spectator alike, water
skiing is one of the safest sports,
according to Capt. Rutherford, who
is authority for the statement that
no one has ever been injured while
water skiing.
Once Capt. Rutherford fell at g.
miles an hour. ''I rolled and skidded
as though were on creased slide, -
he says. and explained that the only
casualty was that he lost his pants.
The sport is really a product of
evolution. Hawaiians seem to have
had the general idea first, when they
learned to skim across the water on
flat board. The United States
shortened the surfboard and dis
covered aquaplaning.
Capt Rutherfords fondness for
surfboards led him to the invention
of water skis, which are slightly
longer and wider than snow skis.

QUEBEC, March 1.-Handicrafts
are big industry in Quebec, and in
literally thousands of French-cana-
dian cottages throughout the prov
ince women are engaged in max
ing the homespuns, hooked rugs and
colorfuI blankets that are Known
throughout America. But there is
more to these native arts than just
sitting down and pumping an old
time spinning wheel.
When French Canadian women
make their rugs and weave their
homespuns they put into them part
of the story of exploration and
colonization that is the history of
French Canada. Their patterns
came originally from Old France,
and were old Norman arts revived
In the new land while red savages
looked on. Then the first Canadi-
enne began to put in the arrow
heads and symbols of the Indians
and developed the patterns that
have come down through each fam
ily as q treasured secret. No two
products of Quebec's looms are ever
exactly the same!
Guarded equally well as a family
heritage is the secret of blending
the dyes. Their lucid blues, clear
as the waters of the st. Lawrence,
come from the Canadian hillside

New Sears, Roebuck
Store 10 Be Opened
Tomorrow Morninq
Modern Structure Hos
Parking Space for 800
Cars on Roof

Sears, Roebuck & Co.'S new retail
store-a one story and = basement
structure with 196,775 feet of floor
space in which windows are used
only for display purposes-will be
opened tomorrow morning at $50
o'clock at Wisconsin avenue and
Albemarle street NV.
One of the buildings modernistic
features is an automobile parking
! lot on the roof, which can be
reached by a gradually sloping ramp
and is connected with the store
interior by two stairways and an
escalator.
The new store has frontage of
395 feet on Albemarle street, 226
feet on Wisconsin avenue and 217
feet on River road. All the first
floor and most of the basement Is
devoted to sales area, with general
offices-formerly located at Sears
Bladensburg road store-in the meg
canine, and the customers service,
credit and cashiers Offices In the
basement.
From its roof parking lot to the
inclosed service station at the north
end OF the store, the new one-story
and basement structure contains a
number of innovations.
300 Parking Spaces.
On the roof, where 300 automo-
biles can be parked, yellow arrows
direct automobiles in a manner
designed for efficient handling of
traffic. The roof is lighted by 10
tall lamps constructed in such a
way that no glare is supposed to
shine on the streets or houses in
the neighborhood. The corners of
the roof are Handicapped with trees
in boxes and plants will hang from
apertures in the parapets.
Inside the store most of the dis
play tables and wall fixtureS are
of light colored mahogany. Fluores-
cent lights placed in the show cases
and wall display fixtures illuminate
the stock, which is all arranged in
such way that related articles are
set out at adjoining counters.
The building, constructed of mon
olithic architectural concrete, is al
most entirely windoWlesS, on the
theory that the use of modern in
terror lighting and the improved
methods of air conditioning and
ventilating make windows obsolete.
The employees of the store will
have their own recreation room, but
until the last minute that room is
being used as training school for
the hundreds of new saleswomen
The building is air conditioned
and the ventilating system is capa-
BILE of eight complete changes of
