NEW FOCUS ON EYES
Bv Ruth Nelson SAWYER

NEW YORK-Whoeve it was
that said, 'Men don't make passes
at girls who wear glasses" hasn't
been watching the new fashions
in eye glasses.
With the magic of color and
so many designs, modern eye
wear is becoming an asset to
charm. So, if you are one Of
those people for whom glasses
are a must, consider them an
accessory and choose the shape
and color just as you would any
other part of your costume.
If you have a long face, select
a modified squared frame, slightly
triangled. If your face is round
or oval, a frame with an upward
sweep to the glass softens and
streamlines the width of your
cheeks. The top rim of your frame
should be confirmation of your
natural browline.
When buying glasses, make
sure you try them on with and
without your hat, and above all
wear them if you need to. They
can be very chic if properly fit

as the leader.
The services will begin nightly

majority of whom served on the
Billy Graham committee a few
years ago. A mixed choir of 500

Billy Graham, now preaching

est preachers of our day." In a
special cable to Boston friends
he said, in part: Greetings to
the people of Boston and New

will have a great series of meet
ings with Alan Redpath. I will
do anything I possibly can to
help in this campaign. In my
opinion, he is just the man for

Christmas Spirit
Not In Bottle"
Pastor Warns

The Rev. John E. Barclay, lnin-
lister OF the Morgan Memorial
Church of All Nations, told
members of his congregation last
Sunday morning: For a reason
that is hard to understand, some
offices and factories turn the day
before Christmas into a kind of
celebration that is far removed
from the Christian viewpoint.
All too often the celebration re-
suits in drunkenness and other
practices that are unworthy of
the observance of the birth of
the Christ Child. His birth in
the lowly manger heralded the
coming of a new life for man
kind. He was born when pagan
Rome was at its height of power.
A truly modern Christian OBJ
servance Of His Birthday should
not contain pagan customs and
revelry.
"You have an opportunity to
give a good witness for Christ
and to help others remember that
it is a holy time, by your own
standards of conduct. You do
not need to be wet blanket in
order to stand up for your prin-
ciples. In fact, people respect
you more if you have the cour-
age of your convictions. Just
remember that the spirit of
Christmas does not come in bot
ties.
1--WE need to remember that
our giving of gifts should SYM
bolize Gods gift of His Son to the
world Our gifts without this
meaning behind them have little
value no matter how expensive.
With this meaning the hum
blest gift becomes regal"

of Thy healing upon their wounds
of toiling to be free of all in

Christmas Sunday services
were observed in all the different

once again the familiar story of
the "Christ Child" who is our
King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
At Zion we had a glorious service.
The pastor, Rev. James c. Brown,

titled &C hristma without
Christ" Luke 81 The pastor
unfolded before our eyes what
it would be like if we had Christ
mas without Christ. 1t tmade the
vast congregation take note OF
this message. The pastor ex-
tended the right hand Of fellow
ship to Mr.. Modero F. Snarzzarill
who received the rites of bap-
tism along with little Irving Har-
ris, Jr., Emma Lee Harris, and

! music was furnished by the
choirs. Making their debut was
the Jr. Choir in a series Of Christ
mas Carols, Mrs. Edith Hipkins,
organizer. At night the Sr. Choir
with their lighted candles formed
at the center door for their pro-
cession to the strains of silent

King" by Ira B. Wilson, was
never sung in better form. A
medium sized audience were out
to hear this work which was per-
formed so msgnifcently. Mrs

! presentations from the choir and
she thanks them for their loyalty
to her through the years that

OF Congress, Washington has had
several forms OF government, It's
hrst charter, granted by Congress on
May 8, 1909, provided for the gov
ernment OF the city by q mayor, to
be appointed annually by the Presi-
dent, and for an elective council of
II members, divided into "first
chamber" OF seven members and a
second chamber" Of Ave members.
Under this charter Robert Brent was
appointed the first Mayor and served
from 1902 to 1911, when he resigned.
Daniel Rapine was appointed by
President Madison to AL out his un-
expired term. When the new charter
went into effect, on June !, 1912,
providing for the election Of the
Mayor by the City Council, Mr..
Rapine was selected to succeed him
self.
In like manner DR.. James II. Blake

Full Suffrage Denied D. c. Since 1900

The question has been asked the
writer's when was the right to vote
taken away from the citizens of
Washington"
To begin with, the people of the
Nation Capital never had full suf-
trage, and, except for the single
occasion when they voted as q part
OF Maryland In the presidential
election Of 1900. they never exer-
cised the right accorded all other
normal American citizens. In con-
nection with this isolated instance,
no particular candidate received
the prescribed majority Of all cleo
toral votes. Thomas jefferson, who
as O Republican, received 73: Aaron
Burr. also Republican, and who re.
sided on r street where now stands
the Press Club Building, received the
same number: John Adams. the In.
cumbent and O Federalist. obtained
65. and another Federalist, Charles
G. Pinckney, "a. John Jay, the first
Chief Justice, received but one vote.
The choice devolving upon the House
OF Representatives, jefferson received
the votes Of 10 States, which, being
the largest vote cast for o candidate,
elected him President. Burr re.
ceived the votes Of four States. which
being the next largest, elected him
Vice President.
