DIEKEMA POINTS THE
ROAD TO HAPPINESS
Not to Be Found in the Pursuit of
Wealth or
Fame.

Before mass meeting of men yeSter-
day afternoon at the New National inca
ter. under the auspices of the Y. NJ. c. A.,

subject The Road to Happiness. Judge
Diekeman held his audiences close at
tention for an hour or more.
He declared the road 10 content in this
life was humble worship of the Lord
and a determination to keep His COM
mandments.
THE pursuit of pleasure, wealth OF
knowledge never brought happiness to
any man., he said, If the pursuit We're
followed for it's own sake. Fear God
obey His commandments That Is the
right road to happiness. Genius may il
lumine mans life like flash of light
ming. but in the end it leaves the lives of
others more dark. Character is the only
true road to happiness, and the demon
stration of it Is the tree of life.
In addition to the address, several vio-
lin solos were rendered by Anton kaSpar,
accompanied by II. =. Hoover. Hymns
were also sung under the direction of
Percy Foster. On the stage with Judge

ident of the Y. NJ c. A; William Knowles

TO HELP SUBDUE FIRES
CHEVY CHASE, MD. MAY BE Al
LOWED POTOMAC WATER.
Commissioners Willing to Let Town
Have Plugs Connected With
District Mains.

The folks who live on the Mary land
side of the line in the town of Chevy
Chase stand an excellent chance of
quenching future CONGREGATIONS with Po-
tomac water, via the Districts water
system. There is bill i'm the House of
Representatives now which would open
the District water works to the people
of Chevy Chase. Nd, for fires. and per-
haps street sprinkling. but not for baths
and drinking water.
A report on the merits of the bill sent
to Representative Smith of the House
District committee seems to show that
the Commissioner are disposed to let
Chevy Chase, Md, have fire plugs con-
nected with the District water mains at
$40 a year per plug.
Chevy Chase. Md, would have TO stand
the expense of making the connections.
of course, and there would be a sealed
valve standing right on the dividing line
between the District of Columbia and
Maryland. This valve would be of kind
that could easily be opened in of
fire or other emergency. The Chevy
Chase, Md, people would have to pay
their $40 per plug year in advance
July l.
The connections between the District
of Columbia end of the water main and
the Maryland end would be built and
constructed under the supervision of the
Commissioners, who would reserve the
right to restrict the operations to their
own ideas.
AS the bill now stands. any town across
the Maryland line could come in for
its little bit of Potomac water for fires
but Chevy Chase is the only town that
will get it, If the Commissioners rec
concentrations go through Congress. The
Commissioners said on this part of the
proposition:
The Commissioners are opposed to
extending the water system of the Dis
trict of Columbia beyond it's limits to
adjacent towns in Maryland, for any
purpose whatever, but they believe that
if Congress desires to establish such a
policy, the connection of the town of
Chevy Chase. Md, with the District
water system. at a point on Connecticut
avenue EXTENDED. would be the least OBJ
jectionable They do not believe, how
ever. that the use of Potomac water
should be permitted to this town for
any other purpose than to eXtinguish
fires. The water supply system of the
District of Columbia is none too large
to supply the District. and if the privi-
lege of using this water were granted
adjacent towns in Maryland, the ulti-
mate capacity of the present water sup
ply system would soon be reached

was denounced and declared unconstitu-
tional in intent and purpose at a large
~ attended meeting of the Eastern
Branch of the Civic Betterment League

William V. Flaherty said Congress lis
treading on dangerous ground when it in
vades the civil and religious rights of the
people
The statement was made that many pc
titions are being sent to Congress against
the Johnston measure from all sections of
the country. The protests allege that the
passage of the act will be direct injury
to millions of American citizens, includ
ing the great mass of Hebrews. 1T is
enough" one speaker asserted, that
SUNDAY Is in the class of LEGAL holidays
without making it's observance compul-
sorry, as Is proposed by Senator John
