U. S. Commissioner Ad
dresses Oldest Inhabitants
at Celebration.
National representation for the
people of this city was urged yester
day by United States Comissioner
Needham C. Turnage at the annual
celebration of Washington's birthday
anniversary by the Association of Old
est Inhabitants at the Old Union En
gine House.
Expressing surprise that there is
so much patriotism in the National
Capital, as compared with the States,
the aommissioner declared that "here
wt have taxation without representa
tion ’
"11 is the only example in this coun
try where such a condition exists.” he
•aid. “Under the census of 1930. 12
States with a population less than
the District of Columbia are rep
reserted by 16 Senators and 10 Rep
reseitatives.
"I don't feel I'm treated just right,
do you?” he asked the audience.
"No!” came back the answer, and
a birst of applause greeted the
speaker.
In the 1936 census estimates, *he
■aid, it was apparent that 12 States
had ess population than the District
of Coumbia. “And again," he added,
-I doi't feel I'm being treated right."
F«r National Representation.
Explaining that he was not in favor
of a •Delegate” in Congress, as past
histor/ showed a "Delegate" there
could accomplish nothing, the com
missioner declared. “We ought to have
not only representation in Congress,
but nttional representation on the
same rnsis as other people of the
United States.
“We have pending in Congress.”
he said "many matters of legislation
vital to the District of Columbia, but
of very little interest to California,
Maine cr the other States who have
the votes on Capitoll Hill. Civic or
ganizations such as yours may act in
an advisoiy capacity to Congress—
but still we have no vote.”
k The spe*er urged a return to the
old ideals of "spiritual values” and
of the hone. He referrd to George
Washington emphasis on the “moral”
virtues of the people and stressed
the fact thit "morals” were still neces
sary to go»d government.
Urging s return to character build
ing in the home, the speaker said
that "if ?e can straighten out our
homes, if we can bring them back
to where they were, the homes will
take careDf the Nation."
Washington's farewell address was
fead by Allan Davis, retired high
school pmcipal.
The sbry that George Washington
aver thitw a dollar across any river
was chracterized by John Clagett
Proctor, vice president of the asso
ciation, who presided, as a “joke.”
Procter read an original poem on
Washington and presented documen
tary eidence to support his theory
against the dollar-throwing story.
Prom he memoirs of George Wash
ington Parke Custis Mr. Proctor read
* in par* as follows:
“Till power of Washington's arm
was dsplayed in several memorable
Instanses—in his throwing a stone
•cross the Rappahannock River be
low Federicksburg, another from bed
of thi stream to the top of the Nat
ural lridge, and yet another over the
palisades into the Hudson. While
the lae and venerable C. H. Peale was
at Mmnt Vernon in 1772, engaged
In panting the portrait of the pro
vinciil colonel, some young men were
eonteiding in the exercise of pitch
ing tie bar. Washington looked on
for » time, then grasping the missile
in hs master hand, whirled the Iron
throigh the air, which took the
groind far, very far, beyond any of
its firmer limits, the colonel observ
ing with a spgjle, ‘You perceive, young
Renlemen, that my arm yet retains
•one portion of the vigor of my earlier
da.w.’ ”

Northwestern IT. Crime Labora

Bare Forgeries.
By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 23.—A new,
quick and simple process for restor
ing obliterated ink writing was an
nounced yesterday by Northwestern
University's scientific crime-detection
laboratory.
It was developed by M. Edwin
O'Neill, instructor in police science,
for use in disclosing forgeries in wills,
contracts and other documents.
The apparatus is so small it can be
carried In the pockets of law enforce
ment agents and employed with dra
matic effect before Judges and juries.
It consists of a Gooch funnel—a
tube-shaped glass 6 inches long. The
opening on the large end is the size
of a quarter. The other tapers off into
a stem and mouthpiece. The* mid
section of the instrument is packed
succeessively with wads of glass wool,
potassium sulphocyanate and cotton
moistened with hydrochloric acid.
O'Neill blows through the stem upon

Tire Easily?
That dragged-out feeling is fre
quently the result of a consti
pated condition of the bowels.
Headaches, sleeplessness and
skin (rouble may also in many
cases be traced to the same
source.
Constipation is dangerous for
anybody. Nujol is safe for every
body. It does not affect tbe
stomach, and is not absorbed
by the body. Medical authori
ties approve Nujol because it is
so safe, so gentle and so natural
in its action.
Nujol makes up for a defi
ciency of natural lubricant in the
intestines. It softens the waste
matter and thus permits thor
ough and regular bowel move
ments without griping.
Just try Nujol regularly for
the next month and see if you
don’t feel better than you ever
suspected you could.
Ask your druggist for Nujol
and insist on the genuine.
