Discovers New Logic
Invents Technic for
Training People
to Think
Ur. Louis W. Rapeer.
; After 25 years of experi
mental research, President
Rapeer of Research University,
1607 I St., has invented a
method of training people to
think effectively on their in
escapable problems of life. A
new book and series of book
lets on the method have been
printed at the University Press
and are available at the above
address or book stores.
How to solve well the prob
lems of life is not taught us
by homes, schools, colleges, or
churches. They teach facts,
minor skills, and attitudes, but
fail lamentably to teach the
Nation to think reflectively.
Now, by home study or in class,
adults may learn for the first
time How they think, how they
should think, and how they can
best train children and others
to think on real problems.
President Rapeer has devel
oped this method in many
schools and universities by
home study. People outline
their serious problems of life
by an 8-step technic and apply
three methods devised for judg
ing the soundness of ways dis
covered for solving their per
plexities. These are submitted
for criticism and advice.
While only through the course
can one best gain this most val
uable of all abilities and the
one most needed by a people in
depression, the cloth - bound
book (at $2.50) and the series
of 5 manila-bound booklets (at
60 cents each) are now avail
able to the public and help to
make life more rational and
problems less a nightmare.
Teachers and parents desiring
to use the method for their
children are given special help
by the University.
The volume gives the meth
ods for solving, also, collective
or group problems such as those
facing Congress and the Ad
ministration — problems which
the Nation is “muddling
through” instead of solving
well by the rules made neces
sary in the Rapeer discovery.

FEDERATION TO ACT
ON D. C. VOTE ISSUE
Resolution Will Be Offered
Women’s Convention
in Detroit.
The General Federation of Women’s
Clubs will be asked to adopt a reso
lution at its triennial meeting, to be
held in Detroit from June 3 to 13,
which would empower the federation
to ask Congress to call for a con
stitutional amendment election, giv
ing residents of the District of Co
lumbia the vote, it was announced
here yesterday by Mrs. Horace J.
Phelps, chairman of the department
of legislation of the District Federa
tion of Women’s Clubs.
District’s Position Cited.
The resolution, which was prepared
by the local federation, follows:
Whereas,
1. The Government of the United
States of America is a representative
form of government, with its very
foundations deeply rooted in the
principle that governments derive
their just powers from the consent of
the governed.
2. The people of the District of Co
lumbia are the only citizens In all
the expanse of continental United
States who are without representa
tion in the National Government.
3. The half million Americans of
the District of Columbia pay national
taxes, obey national laws, go to war
in the national defense and are as
| patriotically interested in the national
j welfare as the other citizens of these
I United States.
4. There is pending in the Congress
! of the United States S. J. Res. 12,
I proposing amendment to the Consti
I tution of the United States to give
the Congress power to admit to the
status of citizens of a State the resi
dents of the District for the purpose
of representation in the Congress and
among the electors of President and
Vice President and for the purposes
of suing and being sued in the courts
of the United States.
Indorsements Recalled.
5. This proposed amendment does
i not disturb the power of Congress to I
exercise exclusive legislation in all
cases whatsoever over the seat of
Government of the United States, but
empowers Congress to give to the
residents of this District the same
voice in their National Government
that is granted the citizens of the
States.
6. This is a national question and
is so recognized by some 35 national
and State organizations which have
indorsed this proposed amendment.
Therefore, be it resolved,
That the District of Columbia
Federation of Women's Clubs recom
mends to the General Federation of
Women’s Clubs that a study be made
of the proposed amendment to the
Constitution of the United States em
powering the Congress to grant to
, the residents of the District of Co
lumbia voting representation in the
Senate and House of Representatives
and among the electors of President
and Vice President and the same ac
! cess to the courts of the United States
as is enjoyed by the citizens of a
State.
BILLINGS PAROLE
DENIED BY BOARD
-—
“Application” He Never Made
Came Automatically Before
Body Last Night.
By the Associated Press.
SACRAMENTO. Calif.. April 6 —
The parole which Warren K. Billings
never sought has been denied again. ;
The "application" of Billings, con
victed along with Thomas J. Mooney
for the 1916 Preparedness day parade
bombing in San Francisco, came auto
matically before the State Beard of
Prison Terms and Paroles last night i
and was turned down without com
ment.
And the only comment Billings had !
to make when asked for a statement
was:
"The application is denied. The in-!
ter view is denied."
Prison officials explained that when ;
a man has served his minimum term
his name is listed among the applica
tions for parole, whether he asks for
it or not. and the convict is given a
form to fill out. Prison board mem
bers said the aging radical labor leader
never asked for a parole application.
Billings and Mooney, both serving
life sentences, have insisted they should
have pardons or nothing. Pardons
have been consistently denied Mooney
by successive Governors of California.

Maryland Police Judge Debates
Whether It Is TJntaxed
in State.
By s St«£t Correspondent of The 8t»r.
UPPER MARLBORO, Md„ April 6
—Is liquor on which the District of
Columbia tax has been paid untaxed
liquor under the terms of the Mary

day in a case against Frank Beech of
Silver Hill.
According to police, Beech holds a
beer license and should not keep
liquor on his premises, if he wishes to
comply with the Maryland law. His
attorney, J. Wilson Ryon, contends,
however, that he can legally possess
ll(|ior on which the proper taxes have
been paid.
Beech was arrested by County
Policeman Elon Turner. States Attor
ney Alan Bowie asked the court to
convict him.
