He proposed as a possible solution of this question a neutral appraisal of Federal property holdings here and a pro-rating of Federal contributions on the basis of taxation as a municipal taxpayer. Lacks Spokesman, ‘He contended that while Congress never has refused to do what it was convinced was right for the District, it nevertheless was handicapped by the lack of official spokesmen in its midst for the District to present positive facts concerning the District for guidance of other members of Congress. Definitelv supporting the now Nation- wide movement for granting repre- sentation in Congress to the District of Columbia, Mr. Begg declared: “I feel that citizens of the City of ‘Washington are entitled to national representation. And I feel that you can obtain representatives in Congress if you go about it in the right way and are not easily discouraged.” He pointed out that changes in government are achieved only by persistent effort and bespoke continued work in presenting the case of Washington to members of Congress.

Pinchot, her father, said mother and son were doing well. Mrs. Gaston, who is a niece of former Gov. Gifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania, achieved considerable renown by her portrayal of the role of the nun in “The Miracle.” She was married last January 27. GIRLS INVADE CITIES. Country Jobs in Sweden Are Left to Men. STOCKHOLM (#).—The Swedish country lassies are leaving the farms and finding employment in the cities, as servant maids or office clerks. Their places are being filled with men who have to do such unmasculine chores as_house work. Even the inns in rural districts are feeling this lack of feminine help and are employing boys as dish washers. The employment agencies in Stock- holm, Gothenburg, and other cities are constantly placing young men in such gesture, “yow know which they will live up to.” “Washington,” he added, “should have representation in the House on the same basis of population as the various States. Then you would have two members at all times to speak for the District, both on the floor and in committees.” Discussing briefly the fiscal relatiors problem, Mr. Begg, who had explained that he would speak frankly, since he would retire from Congress with the close of the present session, declared: “I voted for the 50-50 plan for ap- portioning_the costs of the National Capital. I voted for the 60-40 plan— and, later, I voted for the lump-sum arrangement. “One is as good as another. All are founded on some one's guess.” Indicating the need for permanent settlement of the fiscal problem on a scientific basis, Mr. Begg offered a “challenge’ to any one to prove by logi- cal argument and fact that one ar- rangement was more equitable than another. 3rd Praises Friend ‘There isn’t a mother living who won’t agree that no half-sick child could be the subject for an experi- ment with medicines of uncertain merit. When your child is bilious, headachy, half-sick, feverish, rest- less, with coated tongue, bad breath, no appetite or energy, you know that nine times out of ten it’s a sign his little stomach and bowels need gurglng. And when you know that for over fifty years leading physicians have endorsed one preparation for this condi- tion, there doesn’t seem to be any reason for “trying” things. Rich, fruity California Fig Syrup clears the little stomach and bowels gently, harmlessly and in a hurry. It regulates the bowels, gives tone and strength to them and to the stomach; and helps to give your child new strength, energy and vitality. Thousands of Washington mothers praise it. Mrs. G. H. Warden, 829 Third St. NE, says: “I'll never forget the druggist friend who got me to give my baby boi\;i Ralph, California Fig Syrup. Nothing else helped his bowels, which seemed to be weak. He suffered for many months before I gave him Fig Syrup, but it stopped his trouble quick. I have used it with him for colds and little upset spells ever since. I consider him a Fig Syrup baby.” Insist on the genuine article. See that the carton bears the word “California.” Over four million bottles used a year.

Such mat- ters are left to committees to work out, and the membership of Congress fol- lows their recommendations. “But if these committees had before them scientific facts concerning your froblems. the committees would listen. f the District had its own representa- tives, they would stay persistently with these problems, get the facts and be in a position to convince the committees and Congress.” Mr. Begg, himself a trade organiza- tion members of years of experience, lauded the V’ashington chamber for its interest in civic matters and its studies of loco! questions. He said every active citizen should be enrolled in such work. Support by the speaker of the move- ment for representation for Washing- ton in Congress met with quick re- sponse by the chamber, and the mem- bership gave a rising vote of thanks for his declaration. ‘The chamber also adopted a resolu- tion presented by Charles W.

A native of Vienna, Fuchs had won renown with his portraits and other ‘works, esjecially in England and Amer- ica. He numbered among his patrons and clients members of royalty as well as persons socially prominent. After studying at the Imperial Acad- emy of Fine Arts in his native city, he went to Berlin, wherc he won the Prix de Rome, a traveling scholarship, under which he studied In -Italy for seven years. While in Italy he exe- cuted what he termed his finest piece of sculpture, “Mother Love,” a work which won him the Gold Medal of Honor of the International Exhibition. ‘This piece of work brought Fuchs to the attention of members of the royal | household of England and led to his | meeting with the then Prince of Wales, | later King Edward VII, with whom the | artist formed a friendship which en- dured throughout the King's lifetime.
