WASHINGTON NEWS LETTER

WASHINGTON. D. C.. Jan 7.
—This is our first newsletter writ-
ten in the new year and in the
new session of Congress.
The Washington Post on Jan.
H gave the names and addretets
of tjhe first two infants born in
this city on New Year’s day. I was
amused to note that both of them
were colored. Incidentally, about
1 3 of the population of the city
of Washington is colored.
'Between Christmas and New
Year’s I spent three days in the
city of New Orleans in conference
with State officials of Louisiana,
California, and Texas, working on
our campaign for clearing up the
States’ title to the tidelands. My
Committee in the House handles
this legislation and we will devote
much time during the next few
weeks in perfecting a bill which
we hope to pass through the House.
We fear, ^owever, that any bill
pa.-jwd wiTl get caught in the log
jam [which is almost sure-to occur
in tjhe Senate toward the end of
this session of Congress. It is my
reluctant and pessimistic predic-
tion that the tidelands battle will
go on ih the Courts and the Con-
gress for several years. It is my
hope that wo will eventually pre-
T vail in our righteous fight to re-
. tain what we thought we h;yl
owned for the last 150 years.
tant official post or exerts more
influence in Government than does
the Speaker of the House.
The American Church of Christ
has recently suffered a rebuff in
the threat of the Italian govern-
ment to close an orphanage main-
tained by this church in Frascati,
Italy. In the promotion of Chria-
tian charity, the Church of Christ
has invested about J100.0PO in an
orphanage just outside the city
i t Rome. In addition to the tbain-
tenance of this orphanage, the
church has been distributing
thousands of packages of food
and clothing to the needy. It seems
absurd and unreasonable that the
Italians would bite the hand that
feeds th'm. so to ipeatj. and would
deal harshly with a great Ameri-
can den imination.
On Thursday of this.'week. it
was my privilege to go with Kcv.
Jimmy Wood, pastor of Crcsceht"
Hill Church of Christ of Brown-
field, Texas, and with Mr. J. R
Chisholm, to discuss the matter
w ith our State Department. Rev.
Wood'and Mr. Chisholm represent
the Church of Christ in Texas in
their efforts to clarify the status
of the Frascati orphanage.
I feel that our1.State Depart-
ment should be firm in this matter
and should tell the Italians that a
repudiation of this orphanage
would I* considered an unfriendly

Yesterday was the 68th birthday,, art. ft Teems to me that, a grea
of our distinguished Speaker of , nation that must a-sumo woiJf
-r
the House, the Honorable Sam
Rhyburn of Texas. Mr Rayburn
has served1 in the Congress since
March 4, 1913. Although 68 yeans
^ age, one would fake Mr. Ra»
TOrn to be a in his early fif-
ties. His health and vigor belie his
age. At the end of this session of
the Congress, he will have served
longerons Speaker of the House
than any other person in the his-
tory of Congress. Henry Clay is
the only Speaker in history who
wik elected to that exalted post on
the first day he served as Repre-
sentative in the Congress,
haps only the President of-
United States has a more imi
leadership should demand l
from those to whom it has,
so much. —------
The Italians, especiajK-, should
feel most grateful to/our country
for the generous shil charitable
manner in which/we have dealt
with them, and/fn which we,have
assisted .witlyrheir rehabilitation.
Our diplomats should learn to l>e
firm, and/xough where necessary,
wolLmfti courteous and polite.
Diabetes is among the first ten
reported causes of death in Texas.
There are many people receiving
treatment for this disease. f*ro£.
ably there are hundreds of undis-
covered rases in the State, says Dr
Geo. W. Cog, State Health Officer.
Early recognition of diabetes
pays. In the experience of doctors,
those discovered early before they
had complications lived three
times as long as those discovered
after some blighting affection
drove them to a doctor. If you arc
the relative of u diabetic, or if you
iare approaching the fair, fat, and
fprty era of life, go to . a doctor
before you get sick and find out
if you have diabetes. If you do
have it, control the disease in Rea-
son and out of season. It pay a.
Don't be caught napping. Find
out if you have diabetes! If you do
have it, make it an asset! Prove
that you’tan live longer wi h it
than without it. Then you will i/
helping not yourself alone. -Kut
also other diabetics.
What is diabetes? Wheyfa per-
son has diabetes, his bod/y has lust

'sugar in food into hpat and energy.
The sugar which/should is* used

sugar in the blood that the sugar

a lot /it the sugar is not used,
various bodily organs such as
