PENSIONS FOR FIREMEN AND
POLICEMEN.

Now that Chairman johnson, of the
House District Committee, has finally
succeeded in getting a quorum together
and few of the many important meas
ures long pending have been adopted, it
is hoped that District legislation will
go forward rapidly during the few re-
naming weeks that Congress will be in
session.
Early action is particularly desirable
on the bill to provide for the payment
of adequate pensions to the fremen
and policemen of the District. Owing
to the decrease in the revenue received
from certain quarters, out of which
these pensions have been paid in the
past, the amount has been scaled, and
the payments, moreover, are greatly in
arrears. This means that between 500
and 800 beneiciaries of the pension
fund are suffering from the delay.
The bill under the terms of which
pensions would be adequately and
promptly paid has been drawn. up by a
special commission with expert knowl-

Spanking Is the Reward
For Boys Little Joke

Fifteen-year- Harry Barrett of
139 P street northwest, is convinced
today that practical jokes turn out
just the way they are depicted in the
comic supplements.
Yesterday Harry sent his stepfather.
James W. Steadman, the following
note:
Dear Papa: You will find my body
among the wharves. 1 hope your foot
is better. HARRY"
Needless to say. Mr.. Steadman for
got all about the injury to his foot
and hurried around to the Second
precinct police station and had
general alarm sounded for the boy.
When Mr.. Steadman returned home
his stepson was on the front porch
to greet him.
1T was only a joke" explained the
boy. II wanted to fool you"
But stepfather couldn't see 1t that
way, and Harry was cordially invited
into the back room where everything
turned out just as it does in a comic
supplement.

KEEP MIND BUSY IS

Summers Philosophically.

Frances Nelson. who returns to the
cast at the Columbia Monday to take
the role of Mary Tudor, in Paul Kes-
ter's romantic drama, When Knight
hood Was in Flower" has been spend
ing her vacation of a week demonstrat-
ing to her friends that she is a weather
philosopher.
The work at the Columbia this sea-
son has been onorous upon the leading
actors, and. as a consequence, despite
a predisposition to make the best of
things the leading women was glad of
the opportunity TO get a weeks rest
Miss Nelson said:
OF course. acting is hot work, even
in n theater as we'll ventilated and
cooled as the Columbia, but 1t isn't any
hotter than any other kind of work,
and not nearly 50 hot as some kinds.
! don't believe persons who are inter-
ested in their work suffer as much from
the heat as those who dash madly
around trying to keep cool. or those
who have nothing TO do but SIT down
with their other non-woTking friends
and complain about the high tempera-
ture.
People laugh at you If You say,
Don't think about the heat, but 1t is
good advice, ard possible to follow.
If ones work is pleasant, ones COM
panions agreeable, and ones surround
ings fairly comfortable. 1t is possible to
go through the week industrfously and
find at the end that you have not felt
the heat as much as your sympathizing
friends, who write you notes from their
country places.
Use the same philosophy about hot
weather the sensible man or woman
uses about a headache Get your mind
off any trouble. keep 1t occupied in ac-
complishtng something worth while, and
the >extraneous troubles will depart"

USING SUNDAY LAW
IN RETALIATION

To the Editor OF THE TIMES:
The Glen Echo Wholesale enforcement
Of the Maryland Sunday law last Mon
day ought to serve as an object lesson
to the citizens of the District of Co
Iulnbia of the undesirable situation that
some are inviting by urging Congress to
ioree a Sunday law upon the District.
Before such law is enacted. should we
not first seriously ask ourselves the
question whether we want to make II
possible for sirrilar program to be
carried out in the District. The his
tory OF the enforcement of Sunday la VS.
has repeatedly demonstrated that dis
cord. trouble. strife. and persecution al
WAYS follow in their trail.
From the published reports concern
ing the Glen Echo affair It seems evil
dent that the Sunday law was used as
a means Of retaliation. 1t would hardly
seem consistent 10 believe that-any one
was seriously burdened over fhe desc
Grafton 81 Of the day as reason for
its enforcement, because II Is a fact that
for years Glen Echo has been a wide
open Sunday resort. 1t must he evident
to the readers that the Sunday law
served in this case as a convenient
weapon to employ for personal advan-
tage against those who had made GER
tain threats. 1nlS Is DTODaDly lne use
which has been made Of Sunday laws in
tho various States of the nation. 1t has
been used in communities against citi-
gems who observe the seventh day Of the
week as the sabbath, contrary to the
custom Of the majority. because they
performed labor on sunday. although
done quietly so as not to interfere with
any ones observance of the day This
iniauitpus tool. the Sunday law, may be
used thus by any. person having real
or imaginary grievance against those
who perchance may observe another
dav. even though the complainant him
self cares nothing for religion or Sun
day keeping. He would thus flee to the
Sunday law as a sure weapon against
his neighbor who observed another day.
From the Glen Echo affair it must be
evident to- every thoughtful mird that
Sunday laws do not produce domestic
which the preamble to the
Constitution of the United States de-
clares to be one of the important ends
to be secured by the establishment OF
that Instrument. R. G. RUSSELL.
