LISTS MRS, OWEN S HOUSE MENBER b Formal Repqrt Sustaining Her Eligibility Submitted for Action. By the Associated Press. ‘The formal report of the House elec- tions committee sustaining the validity of the right of Representative Ruth .. Bryan Owen, Democrat, to the seat from the fourth Florida district, was received by the House yesterday, but Chairman Beedy of the group did not submit it for action. It will be called up within a few days. -y Mrs. Owen's election was contested By William C. Lawson, her Republican opponent. Lawson contended that she had not fulfilled the citizenship re- uirements after her marriage to a ritish army officer who lafer died. The Constitution requires seven years of citizenship. Unamimous for Mrs. Owen. “By a unamimous vote” the com- mittee’s report read, “your committee concludes that Mrs. Owen measures up to the requirements as to seven years' citizenship, Five members of the com- malitee, namely, Representatives Letts, Qoodwin, Rading, Newhall and John- ston, arrive at their conclusion through » consideration of the constitutional provisions alone. They believe that the seven-year period of citizenship is cu- mulative; that it was not the intent of the framers of the Constitution, and that it was not to be construed as eaning that the seven years' citizen- Snv qualification for a Representative in the House of Representatives is to be limited to the seven years next pre- ceding the date of election.” Citizenship Established. ‘These committeemen held that Mrs. ‘Owen, the daughter of the late Willlam Jennings Bryan, had been an American Jtizen for 24 years before her mufllfi and for three years and six months sul sequent to her naturalization, “The four remaining members of “the committee hold,” it was added, “that she had the same citizenship status as previous to her marriage to Mr. Owen.” MRS.

CLOSE UPS OF ALASKAN BEAR FEATURE LECTURE Assistant Director of Zoo Tells of ‘Wild Life in Talk at Y. M. C A Rare close-up movie “shots” of the Alaskan brown bear in his native haunts and pictures of many other wild animals of the Northwestern territory featured an illustrated lecture on wild life in Alaska given last night by Ernest P. ‘Walker, assistant director of the Zoo, in the lobby of the Central Y. M. C. A. For many years Mr, Walker directed Federal fish and game work in Alaska and he is regarded as one of the Gov- ernment's outstanding authorities on animal life there. He blasted the popu- lar idea that the big Alaskan bears are bloodthirsty by pointing out that he often had slept in the open while they prowled nearby, and had been awakened by their footsteps through the brush. The movies of the bear were taken by John M. Holsworth, while many of the slides shown were from photo- graphs snapped by Mr. Walker. The speaker was introduced by b Drumm of the Y. M. C. A. staff. The lecture was one of a series to be given in the “Y” lobby on Monday evenings. 1050 Nokol NEW NOKSELESS OIL BURNER YEAR ‘of interest among the owners +of the stock of the Aster Restau- rant Corporation at 804 14th Street Northwest, notice is here- ‘»by given to all persons having any claims against the business or corporation to please submit * same to the Manager of the Aster Restaurant Corporation, Mr. Ng Dow On, at the office of the corporation, 804 14th Street BELL CAB CO.

Met. 2827 SCULPTRESS FINDS DUCE FINE SUBJECT Exhibitor at Corcoran Tells of Surprise at Receiving Unsought Commission. BY GRETCHEN S. SMITH. Italy's famous premier is an ideal subject for artist and sculptor, declares Fausta Vittoria Mengarini, Roman sculptress, several pleces of whose work, including a portrait bust of Mussolini, were exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery last week. Generally speaking, admission to the presence of Il Duce is a difficult matter, obtainable only after going through much formality and the presentation of numerous properly indorsed creden- tials. Signorina Mengarini was ushered into the premier’s presence utterly un- aware of whom she was to meet, after receiving an official summons to appear at the ministry of foreign affairs. “I was working in my studio in Rome,” she said. “when one day I re- ceived word that I was wanted at the ministry of foreign affairs. When I arrived there I was ushered into a large office, at the desk of which a man sat writing. I had not the slightest idea whom he' might be, and had never seen Mussolini in my life. When he arose from his desk I was amazed by the face of the man before me. It had never occurred to me that I was to see Musso- lini, as to see him or to obtain an interview with him is one of the most difficult things in the world. However, when I saw the genius and the person- alty stamped on the face of this man I realized it must be Mussolini, and, of ::ludru. 1 was greatly excited when he ““You are going to do my portrait. Gentle, Kind and Thoughtful. “‘All right, excellency,’ was all I could stammer at the time, ‘I will do it.’ “I worked on Mussolini’s portrait for two and a half months,” continued the signorina, “and I have never met a kinder, gentler or more thoughtful indi- vidual. Mussolini is interested in every one, and nobody is too humble to re- ceive his help when it is needed. If it is necessary, for nce, to reduce the office force and some one must be dis- charged, no matter if it is only a char- ‘woman or a janitor, he always gives in- structions that work of some kind be found for that person. “‘As & model he is ideal,” declared the young sculptress. “He is utterly un- conscious of your presence while you are studying him, and absorbed in his work he bears a strong resemblance to Napoleon. I consider him the strongest personality I have ever sculptored.” Signorina Mengarini’s entire career has been as remarkable as her unso- licited commission to “do” the Italian premier. Slight, piquant, with bobbed black hair, while yet in her early thir- ties. she has risen to the top of her profession, and is the only woman in Italy today whose work has received official recognition from the govern- ment. At the time she received the commission to “do” Mussolini the jour- nals of Rome and of the entire country were singing her praises in honor of the monument designed and executed by her to the soldiers of Borgo, a dis- trict of Rome. The unveiling of this monument was attended by the King and high officials of church and state. Since that time she has been awarded the commission to design a lighthouse to be erected by the government at Masseus, on the Red Sea, in com- memoration of the Itallan conquest of | Eritrea. Had to Combat Prejudice. It has been necessary for the sculp- tress to combat much prejudice in her climb up the ladder of fame. A tradi- tional discrimination against women in public life has existed in Italy since time immemorial. Born in Rome and studlying in the galleries and art cen- ters of the city, she had to surmount many obstacles before her work received public recognition. “It was necessary for me to enter many competitions at the beginning of my career under an assumed name,” she said. *I would not let my sex be known on account of the prejudice which existed against women entering into this profession, and one time, when my work had ben awarded first prize, the decision was changed when the judges learned that I was a woman. “But that prejudice is rapidly disap- pearing now,” the signorina added, “and the university is now thronged with young girl students, who two gen- erations ago would never have been per- mitted attendance.” Will Rogers Says: BEVERLY HILLS, Calif.—Grun- dy's tariff bill is all set. No- body in either House of Congress is satisfled with it, that's why it will pass, for each one will figure, “Well, it will do him more harm than it will me.” Everybody gets a raise but the few people that don't manufacture anything. “How many people is there in the U. 8. that don’t manufacture anything?” Oh, roughly I should say about 112 mil- lion. “Who pays for the raise that the manufacturers receive under this bill?” The same people who sent the men there that passed the bill. “Well, what's the answer to it all?” Brother, there is no answer. Its been going on like this for 150 years. If you take it serious you are cuckoo. El The The center of attraction wherever smart folk gather ife Rock 1! fi. P 'I! D. C, TUESDAY, MARCH 25, 1930. By the Associated Press. PITTSBURGH, March 25.—Secretary of the Treasury Andrew W. Mellon, at the seventy-fifth milestone of a life he has found “full and interesting,” is con- vinced that America is moving surely toward attainment of that which no other nation has achieved—equality of opportunity. Speaking last night at a banquet teh- dered by intimate friends in honor of his birthday, Secretary Mellon réviewed the financial crisis through which the Nation moved in the past 75 years and added: “What has been accomplished, it seems to me, in the period in which we have been considering is that the aver- age person in this country now com- mands the means of a comfortable sub- sistence to a greater extent and with less effort than ever before in the his- tory of the world. I do not mean to say that we have attained equality of op- Mellon Sees Greater Prosperity "Tells Guests at Birthday Banquet America Is Moving Surely Toward Attainment of Equality of Opportunity. portunity. No nation ever has attained it. But here in America, if we have not achieved that aim toward which we have been striving, at least we are on the way toward realizing it eventually, nor have we any reason to be dissatis- fled with our present rate of progress.” “The opportunities which have so vastly increased in the last generation,” Secretary Mellon added, “are only the forerunners of others, and perhaps greater ones, which will come as the result of forces now at work and those constantly being discovered.” ‘The 165 friends in attendance, in- cluding many notables of the financial and industrial world, presented Secre- tary Mellon with a large gold loving cup, on which was modeled a view .of the United States Treasury Building. A visit to the offices of the Mellon National Bank was the only other de- parture from a quiet observation of his anniversary at his Pittsburgh residence. BELGIAN ROYALTY VISITS LUXOR TOMB King and Queen Defy Reputed Curse of Pharaohs, Entering Tomb of King Tut. By the Associated Press. LUXOR, Egypt, March 25.—The King and Queen of the Belglans yesterday defled the reputed curse of the pharaohs. With Howard Carter, excavator of the tomb of Tut-ankh-Amen, King Albert and Queen Elizabeth visited the tomb in the Valley of the Kings and neither indicated any bad luck was expected. Thereafter the King walked nearly two miles from his yacht into Karnak. He will go to Cario Wednes- day. ‘The alleged curse of the Pharaohs is & popular superstition in England, where many persons believe that any- one who touches the tomb of ‘an ancient Egyptian ruler will suffer a quick violent death. ‘The superstition was recalled last monh in the suicide of Lord Westbury, an elderly Brtish peer, whose son had been connected with the Tut-ankh- Amen excavation and himself had dled the year before. As Lord Westbury's funeral was in progress, the hearse struck and killed a small boy, thus causing a renewal of the speculation. At about the same time one of the employes of the Egyptian section of the British Museum died, and that was added to the list.

Shaw told police of the ninth pre- cinct that he met the soldiers at Penn- sylvania avenue and Ninth street, and got into a cab with them after the liquor purchase had been made. He said the men took him out to Northeast ‘Washington, where the men, alighting from the cab, took him into an alley and made him give up the money. Are “WET" CANDIDATE OPPOSES GRUNDY Educator Enters as Third in Race to Be Senator From Pennsylvania. 7 By the Associated Press. PHILADELPHIA, March 25.—Another candidate entered the race last night for the Republican senatorial nomina- tion, further complicating Pennsyl- Vlinil's already muddled political situ- ation. Francis H. Bohlen of the University of Pennsylvania law department, the third candidate for the senatorship, announced he would make the fight on a “wet” platform. The other candi- dates are Senator Joseph R. Grundy, who is supported by Gov. Fisher and other State leaders, and Secretary of Labor James J. Davis, backed by Wil- liam S. Vare and the Philadelphia Re- publican organization. In announcing his candidacy Mr. Bohlen said he joined with Thomas W. Phillips, jr., one of the five candidates for the gubernatorial nomination, in urging the repeal of the Snyder act, the Pennsylvania prohibition enforce- ment law, “which, I feel confident, con- fiicts with the convictions of a majority of the citizenry.” Francis Shunk Brown, gubernatorial running mate of Secretary Davis, issued a statement today that he and Davis were in the primary fight to the finish. .. ‘The Goldsmiths' Co,, which has al- ready observed its 600th anniversary, still tests Great Britain’s gold and sil- ver money. 5 PINE TREE ; A Truly American Design'in ; STERLING SILVER SJ 6 Teaspoons, regular. .. ...$11.00 ) 6 Dessert Forks .. .. 2250 ; 6 Dessert Spoons. . 20.00 r&f 6 Dessert Knives . . 21.50 7 6 Salad Forks.... .. 17.50 {, 2-Piece Steak Set......... 10.00 ;g( Request Complete Price List £ Divided Payment Accounts £ in accordance with } Sterling Silversmiths® Guild of America s Toldemith £ To. ¢ b 1225 F Strect, NW. b vz” NEAR THIRTEENTH STREET “ | oli [y | :inuwuuuu“ R S A AL : IHCN Fumigation for moth or beetle infested furniture | A SAFE DEPOSITORY FOR 38 YEARS CAASPINWALL .
