12 THE EVENING STAR. WASHINGTON. WOMAN MEMBERS OF HOUSE AGTIVE Jumb at Chance to Get Away | From “Woman’s Angle” in Congress. { By the Associated Press. Another opportunity for women to farget the “woman’s angle” in ap- proaching national problems has been | offered by tariff and farm relief—and women in Congress have seized it with | alagrity. Representative Ruth Baker Pratt of | New York, who made her second speech | on the floor of the House Monday in | opposition to the propoced increase in | the tariff on sugar, later declined to | stdte her position for quotation among | the group of Congresswomen. Wants Record to Stand. “Whatever I have to say on any problem,” she explained, “must be Judged on its merit, as coming simply from a Representative—and not from a woman Representative.” She added that she desired that her record stand in comparison with that of the full membership of the House rather than with that of other feminine legislators Other Congresswomen, while they have not definitely asserted their in- clinations, have attacked their problems apparently from the same standpoint. Their activities have ranged from speeches on the floor to extended appearance before committees and con- ferences with the President. Works for Farmers. Representative Ruth Bryan Owen, | who has directed her movements ener- | getically in the interest of farmers of | her own Florida district, tallied another score by going to President Hoover with | Representative Swing of Californiz. to ask that if any change is made in the eciprocal treaty with Cuba, protection | be insured for avocado pear growers. ! whose competition, she said, come principally from Cuba. Already she had scored in connection | with the special appropriation for con- | trol of the Mediterranean fruit fiy, a | menace to agriculture in her State, and | an increase in the allowance per acre to | farmers for seeds. ‘Mrs. Rogers Active. In another field formerly held by men—that of commerce and manufac- turing—Rrepresentative Edith Nourse | Rogers of Massachusetts has been | prominent. She has appeared repeat- | edly before the ways and means com- | mittee, vigorously urging Temoval of boots and shoes from the free list in the tariff bill. She has been active | also in confererices of her delegation and last week urged on the floor of the House that hides also be taken from the free list. ‘Writes Members. Early in the tariff revision discussions she made a step toward grasping the attitude of the House as a whole by writing to each member separately and asking for his opinion on manufactur- ing schedules. Responses were many and in some cases lengthy, the said, from Democrats as well as Republicans. She has held extended conferences with manufacturers also. Having sponsored supplemental ap- propriations obtained for trade com- missioners while President Hoover was Secretary of Commerce, she plans to seek a similar fund at the regular ses- sion of Congress. Extension of the trade commissioners’ work, she believes, is esgential to development of com- merce. Representative Florence P. Kahn of California counts the present proposed duty on cement at least partly her vic- tory. She has been working for it for more than a year. She also has ap- peared repeatedly before the ways and means committee in discussions of ect its shipping virtually every section of the tariff bi?{ PAINS SO SEVERE COULD HARDLY STAND THEM Claims Miller’s Herb Extract has given her complete relief Never in all my life have I ever used a medicine to equal this one d I know I would not be in such food health today. if I had not earned about this grand remedy which I want to recommend to all my friends. 2 MRS.
