NEW SOCIAL ORDER
HELD GROWTH SIGN
SJf Willmott I'ewis Tells Ro
tarians Changes Do Not
Indicate Decay.
B? the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS. May 5.—Discussing
"New Problems in an Old World,” Sir
Willmott Lewis, Washington corre
spondent of the London Times, last
night told the thirty-fourth district
conference of Rotary International
tjfftt “rapid social change is a sign
of growth, not of decay.”
,His address marked the last session
cj the conference, which has met here
sgice Sunday. Members of the dis
trict from Maryland. Pennsylvania,
Virginia and the District of Columbia
attended.
{The speaker briefly traced the social
growth of the world from the indus
trial “or scientific” revolution to the
ja-esent day and asserted: "We have
been given a sense of power over the
cjrcumstances in which we live: we
acquiesce no longer as do primitive
afrid ignorant people; wre are aware of
ojir own social strength."
{ Time of Unrest.
“Tor all this.” he added, “we live
1b an unfinished house; a house, in
deed. which will never be finished.
• "We are aware of a prodigious en
largement of our capacity to do things
Which were for our fathers impossible.
Fbr all this we live in a time of grave
social unrest.
{“Industrial communities seem to
nlrglect the very objects for which it
i$ worth while to acquire riches, in
tbeir feverish preoccupation with the
njeans by which riches can be ac
quired. There is no question more
steadily in the forefront of men's
njinds today than the growth of gov
ernmental power which this has nec
essitated.
‘“In one group of powers, control of
tie economic process is sought and
Heed primarily in the interest of social
welfare. In another it is sought and
used primarily in the interest of the
aggrandizement of the striking power
of its state.”
Speaking of democracy and the
principles of private property, he said:
"If the institution of private property
is to endure, we cannot permit the
growth within our midst of a great
propertyless proleteriat—of a landless
peasantry.
“But what are we to do when dyna
mo and the assembly line, the devices
and the Inventions, have taken the
tools from man’s hands and have left
bim property only in the form of
wages and hours, which is to say, a
job?”

WOMEN ARE URGED
TO PUSH D. C. VOTE
Mrs. Kittle Tells Visitors to Urge
Congress to Act on
Franchise.
Intensification of effort to win Na
tion-wide active support of a vote for
Washington residents was urged on
the General Council of the National
League of Women Voters today by
Mrs. William Kittle, president of the
District of Columbia Voteless League
of Women Voters. The council la
meeting at the Washington Hotel.
“There is no logical basis for dis
crimination against such an intelligent
group of American citizens,” Mrs.
Kittle said “We urge upon you to go
back home, bestir public support for
congressional representation for the
District, and get the pledge of your
own Congressman to remedy the vote
lew? situation.
“Why, In the name of all that is
reasonable, should Congress be called
upon to legislate in such minor matters
as snow removal regulations for the
District?
“The District carries a heavy burden
of financial support for the Govern
ment. In the last fiscal year the Dis
trict contributed in national taxes
more than any one of 25 States.
“The time has passed when District
citizens should endure the injustice
of no direct representation in the halls
of Congress.”

Blankets actually warmer
washed this easy way
r m mu nil—in mu mu ■■■—min iiiiiniiiii—ii» i———
Simple method
saves you money, too
THE ETnited States Government
says:* “The warmth of a blanket
depends very largely upon the amount
of nap.” When a blanket shrinks and
mats in washing—loses its fluffy nap
— it won't keep you as warm.
So, wash your blankets the Lux way.
Lux wron’t shrink or mat or fade them.
1. Make very rich, lukewarm Lux
suds.
2. Gently press the Lux suds
through and through the
blanket. Never rub.
3. Rinse thoroughly in water the
same temperature as the suds.
Dry in the shade—never near
heat.
Thi s simple washing method will keep
your blankets lovely and new-looking
— soft and w'arm. It’s so thrifty!
