WILL URGE NATIVE - T0 SUPPORT VOTE More Active Part in Cam- paign for District Represent- ation to Be Asked. | ! ! More active participation by the So- ciety of Natives of Washington in the campaign for national representation for the District will be recommended to the society as the result of a meet- ing yesterday afternoon of the organi- zation's committee on national repre- sentation, headed by Jesse C. Suter, in the rooms of the Board of Trade in ‘The Star Building. The Society of Natives has been on yecord in favor of representation for the District in Congress and the right of residents of Washington to vote for President since it was organized, about 10 years ago. It is now proposed to join with the Citizens' Joint Commit- tee in pushing the movement with re- newed earnestness. The committee which met yesterday consists of Mr. Suter, chalrman; Wash- ington Topham, Theodore W. ‘Noyes, Irvin L. Rose and Lew P. Mohler. Wil report its recommendations to & meeting of the society Friday evening at 8 oclock at the Washington Club, Seventeenth and K streets. Mr. Emory's Letter. A letter to the committee from Fred A. Emory, president of the Society of Natives, was read by Mr. Suter at yes- terday's meeting. Mr. Emory wrote: “As your committee on national rep- resentation is organizing today to in- itiate its activities in behalf of the So- ciety of Natives in the great forward movement for Washington, let me, as sident of the society, express appre- gl':flon of your years of splendid fight for the cause and of the great construc- tive achievements of that great civic Jeader, Theodore W. Noyes, who is a member of the committee. The work that the Joint Oitizens’ Committee on National Representation is doing, & work at the head of which Mr. Noyes has stood in the forefront, as he has in every great civic movement in the Distriet of Columbia, has attracted widespread interest throughout the ntry. OO Rave just received a letter from Mrs. Ferdinand W. Jaccard of Fort Worth, Tex. She has read with interest what the Citizens' Joint Committee is fighting for and she has volunteered the earnest, wholehearted and enthus astic hope and prediction that such Just cause will meet with the approval ©of Congress and the States. «T also have before me the copy of an interview forwarded to me from the same city, from Mrs. Ida Van Zandt Jarvis, 86-year-old pioneer mother of City Councilman Van Zandt of Fort Worth, In this interview Mrs. Jarvis says that while her father, Isaac Van Zandt, who was in Washington as the Minister of the Republic of Texas when she was born in 1844, and both her rents were living in the Unit!q tes, she is technically a ‘foreigner because she was born in Washington, the Nation's Capital. Mrs. Jarvis holds three responsible in the First Christian Church of ‘Worth, one of them that of dea- congress, and she is an active leader in the Young Women's Christian Associa~ tion despite her years. The interview appears under the caption “Washing- ton-Born, and of Texas Parents, Ida Van Zandt Jarvis Can't Be President.” Tilustrations Typical. “I cite these two instances as only {llustrations of far-flung interest in the injustice of the present unrepre- sented condition of the almost 600,000 ation of the District of Columbia. “As chairman of the Society of Na- tives of the District of Columbia com- mitiee on national represéntation you will naturally co-ordinate with your services as vice chairman of the citizens’ joint committee on national representa- tion for the Distrie ¢f Columbia. And the Natives' Society along with your citizens’ joint commitee, of whose ex- ecutive committee I am also proud to be a member, joins with the Washington ‘Board of Trade, the Washington Cham- ber of Commerce, the Merchants and Manufacturers Association, the Feder- ation of Citizens’ Associations and the other sible organized citizenship of the District in the movement for na- tional representation. “My own perswal feeling is that the main obstacle at present is apathy rather than of opposition, and it is that which we must overcome, for many of the Nation’s leaders in ‘Houses of Congress and in public life generally agree with us in the justice and right- eousness of the movement for national representatios. of the Distriet of Colum- bis in Congress.” Holidays Under New Designation. KHARKOV, U. S. 8. R, March 18 (P)—On the petition of thousands of workers throughout the Ukraine, the government yesterday decided to replace six religious holidays of the year with six “revolutionary days of rest.” “Constitution day,” on July 6; “Indus- trialization day,” on August 1, and ‘Harvest day,” on October 2, are among the six newly named holidays.

C, TUESDAY, MARCH 18, 1930. LIBRARY BUDGET PLEASES TRUSTEES Appreciation of Plans for More Employes and Book Funds Expressed. ‘The members of the board of trus- tees of the Public Library, of which Theodore W. Noyes is president, and the librarian, Dr. George F. Bowerman, today expressed satisfaction with the library appropriation items as reported to the House in the District bill. Ap- preciation of the action of the subcom- mittee was voiced at the granting of an incrense in library personnel, an en- larged fund for the purchase of books, as well as for the provision for the building for the Northeastern Branch Library. ‘The library items in the appropriation bill included an increase orpgm?«m for nine additional employes; an increase of $16,500 for the purchase of books; an increase of $1,000 for bookbinding; an increase for maintenance of $1,350, and an item of $150,000 for the building and the furniture and equipment for the Northeastern branch library. Interested in Its Progress. The hearings on the bill show that all members of the subcommittee are much | interested in the progress of the Public | Library. The questions of Chairman | 8immons and Rep: and Collins in particular bre out that the library, especially at new Woodridge sub-branch, is short of books. Further questioning of Dr. Bowerman showed that book shortage had, because of steady increase in circulation at the main library and at every agency, be- come chronic throughout the library system. As a result, the committee vol- untarily made a substantial increase in the book fund. It is stated that the increases in the library staff will strengthen the central library and some of the branches and will also provide the force required to occupy temporarily additional quarters in some building in the municipal cen- ter. The central library is so badly overcrowded that it is proposed, pending the enlargement of the main library, to move the book acquisition and cata- loging departments and the book bind- ery to a building in the municipal cen- ter. Such a move would set free some space in the central building badly needed for serving the public. Site Purchased for Branch. The item of $150,000 for the North- eastern branch library is for the pur- pose of putting up a library buflding on the site already purchased on the corner of Maryland avenue and Sev- enth street northeast. ‘The Northeastern branch library will be the first library building to be pro- vided for through an appropriation by Congress. The central library building and the three existing major branch buildings were all given by Andrew Carnegie or the Carnegie Corporation. Several years ago Dr. F. P. Keppel, president of the Carnegie Corporation, notified the library trustees that, fol- lowing the earlier action of the cor- poration as applied to other cities, they would furnish no more money to Wash- ington for library buildings. resentatives Thl:‘tehgr t! :fec Etz and &CBGMP’ Appointments by Phone if Desired can be desired, the child EYES SHOULD NEVER BE STRAINED!
