of the Drainage Levee and Irriga-

in 1899 when Jesse Jones became
Federal Loan Administrator and
later Secretary of Commerce.
On leaving high school Mr..
Schram went to work for a coal and
lumber dealer who few years later
gave him a job OF draining 5000
acres of swamp land along the IL
linois River. Out of this experience
he eventually became chairman OF
the National Drainage Association,
which brought him into the r. F. C.
as an expert in irrigation projects.

Mr.. Schram as likely to usher in a

Of the State of Arkansas, because it

Mr.. Wilson's answer illustrated that

Census Figures Cited.
The subcommittee was told earlier
that on the eve of the last national
election the Census Bureau esti-
mated there were 100000 adults in
Washington who had no vote.
The census figures were cited by
Paul E. Lesh of the Citizens Joint
Committee on National Representa-
ton. after Mrs. Morgan Pryse, an
opponent Of suffrage. had given an
Evening star., 1941-05-06

analysis based on Federal personnel
records tending to show that actual
District residents number only 93,393.
Mrs. Pryse based her estimate of
93,393 actual local residents on the
Federal employe apportionment fig
ures. From more than 16l 900 Fed
eral employees she deducted 8,975
credited to the District. To the re-
naming 152, $50 she applied Census
Bureau family ratio of 3.8. L. F.
Schmeckebier and Meyer Jacob
stein of the Brookings Institution,
who are aiding Senator McCarran
in studying the suffrage question,
raised a series of questions against
this method of estimating actual
District residents, as distinguished
from those who claim State resi-
dence. They took the view that the
civil service apportionment figures
reflect the origin of Government
employees, but that there is no reli-
able way OF determining how many
employees continue to retain State
residence after working here for
number of years.
Wilson Opposes Change.
Mr.. Lesh interrupted to present
the Census Bureau estimates made
just before the November election,
which, he said, showed that Wash
ington's total population of persons
81 years or over was SOP 900. The
census figures indicated $1,000 OF
these adults had the right to vote
in the States, which left an esti-
mated 100000 voteless Washing
tOnianS.
Charles Frederick Wilson went be-
fore the subcommittee to oppose any
change in the present form of local
government, but offered no objection
to national representation
Speaking as an individual, Mr..
Wilson contended Washington has
probably the best local government
in the United States.
A. D. Calvert also testified against
suffrage, declaring he could not
understand why any one would want
to exchange the present commission
form of government for the "corrup-
ton and intimidation" that occurs
in some other cities in order to OBJ
tain the right to vote one day of 365
each year.
Doesn't Miss Right to Vote.
Referring to national suffrage, he
argued that statehood would be of
doubtful legality, and suggested one
solution, if Congress decides to act,
would be to cede the District back to
Maryland. Any other plan, he said,
would mean movement of the Capt.

Lingering Shadows

When a person casts a shadow
on pool of crude oil on a sunny
day in tropical country, the
shadow appears to remain for as
long as 10 seconds after he has
moved away. The explanation is
that the shadow causes the oil to
cool Slightly, thereby decreasing
the number of rising bubbles and
darkening the surface.

ment for me. Both these girls are
pretty. They are Is years old and
have been everywhere and have
seen all the plays. One is engaged
and I think the other likes Hugo;
in fact I know she does, and 20
do Nom and Dad.
Il was 20 stupid that night that l
hate to think about it. and when
Hugo made fun of me I said I felt
as if I was getting a cold and went
upstairs. Hugo said to Mary that
when I was a kid I had been his
little sweetheart and we had made
great marriage plans and were 60
ing to build 4 house up in an oak
and live up there. Which made me
seem like a baby.
Last week Hugo wrote me quite
frankly, saying that he is sorry that
misunderstood his attentions,
that he will always love me as =
big brother, almost old enough to
be my father, and that he would
like his letters back. Ny mother,
who now says she is sorry she did
It since it disturbed me 20 much,
Immediately without consulting me
sent back all his letters, from my

II love him as much as ever. He
is so wonderful, there is nobody like
him! II live to be 80, and marry
10 times, ! will always love him
better than anyone elsel What can
I do? How can get him back?
Please, please help me keep from
despair"
The Price Of Love.
1t is a cruel thing, Brenda, that
any human being should be given
power to hurt another as Hugo has
hurt you. But it is the price Of
love. Love is the dearest commod-
ity in life, the thing for which we
pay highest. 1t is painfully obvious
now that his affair with you was
Just what he calls it, half-paternal,
half-brotherly affection for the little
girl who SO openly adored him. He
might indeed have made you his
wife, and he might have been a
faithful husband to you. But it
wouldn't have been the usual mar
rage, the usual mating of human
beings balanced in age, interests,
responsibilities of living together.
There are men who have petted
and adored a child-wife until her tall
sons seemed older than she, but as
a general thing the man to whom a
girl gives her heart at II isn't the
true mate, and the real love affair
comes along six or seven years
later.
You have lot for which to be
thankful. Evidently you have sensi-
BILE, affectionate parents willing to
stand by you, help you in your diff
ficulties, make your home 4 center
of Inequalities. Those are invalu-
able assets just now. Also, you
didn't, in your infatuation for Hugo,
throw away your seH-respect when
you threw away your heart.
It might help you to read some
of the letters l get from today's
girls; girls who don't regard love
affairs as their mothers did; girls
who argue, in a moment Of passion,
at isn't anyone's affair but our own
what We do, and if I love him, and
want to do anything he asks. I'm
free to do ii"
