Rock Creek Park is one of the places
Of interest that many visitors and resi-

Starting Saturday arrangements were
made to run a motor bus line from

of Rock Creek, over the elegant roads
and stopping for connection with the

DISCUSS PANAMA TOLLS.

The House again yesterday devoted
practically its entire session to the con-
sideration of the Panama bill. which
fixes the tolls and provides regulations
for the operation, Of the Canal. Minority
Leader Mann led in the assault on the
section Of the bill that denied to Amer
lean shipping preferential tolls. He de-
clared that failure on the part Of the
United States to observe the exact
terms of the Hays-Pauncefote treaty,
might result In the reference OF the ques-
ton to an international tribunal. but he
commended that the position OF the United
States would be upheld. He said It was
absurd for the United States to require
American-owned vessels to pay tolls
similar to those charged foreign ships.
Former Speaker Cannon made a like ar
gument.
The bill was taken up under the FIVE
minute rule during the afternoon, but
little progress was made. Finally the
House adjourned at s o'clock, and con-
sideration OF the bill will be resumed

UNIQUE PRIZES
FOR BOOKLOVERS
Excellent List Of Awards Makes for
Keen Competition in the
Puzzle Contest.

Sustained on its own merits as q con-
test, the Booklovers' Contest is also
maintaining its popularity because Of the
extremely attractive prizes which are be-
ing offered by The Washington Herald.
The reward in store for those who
come Under the wire with the winning
ribbons surely makes the competition
unique in the annals of such events con-
Quoted in this city. This is an element
to be considered quite apart from the
contest itself. and deserves separate
treatment
For the winner of the first prize is to be
given a plot OF land on one Of the proud
est eminences overlooking the National
Capital-Randle Highlands. II is not
often that a 1000 building lot is offered
free to the Washington public in a con-
test Of this type.
Should one not desire to build. or to
hold the property for development, II
goes without saying that so excellent an
acquisition has a value in the real es-
tate market. which is constantly going
upward. The manifold beauties and
charms of Randle Highlands are receiv-
ing large recognition.
For the second prize there is offered
a Kingsbury inner-piano player. manu-
featured by the Cable Piano Company,
and valued at $50. The fact that Percy
s. Foster. OF the Percy Foster Piano
Company, 1890 G Street Northwest, Sc
lected the instrument for The Washington
Herald Is a sufficient guarantee of its
excellence.
A splendid library of books, valued at
SEQ, and selected by W. W. Norman,
manager OF Brentano's, is the third
prize. The distinct appropriateness of
this prize is apparent, since many of
those entered in a Booklovers' Contest
would prefer a real memento OF the
contest, such as this library offers.
For those who are not fortunate
enough to be one of the first three there
are eighty cash prizes, in the form Of
credits at the Citizens Savings Bank
which will be given as consolation
prizes" Their value is $50.
All in all. the Booklovers' Contest Of

son Of their novelty and their high
worth. They will furnish a great cli-
max to one of the most thrilling compe-
titions ever conducted in the National

When a new slogan" was sounded by
Bishop Charles p. Anderson OF the
Windy City. demanding a hard and fast
minimum salary Of 1900 for married
pastors and 1900 year for single ones,
II seemed for a, time as II the matter
would be taken up and made national
rallying cry for the pastors Of the United
States.
The bishop stated. in effect, that minis
tiers were outrageously underpaid. and
some Of his coadjutors carried the opinion
a step further and declared that $500
a year was none too low as a minister's
salary, especially in the large cities where
the cost Of living is high.

1T is impossible to arouse any strong
support for such a movement" declared
Rev. John Van Schaick. jr., pastor Of

1T is impracticable because the effort to

tors Of the country would be bound to
fail. except, possibly, in the case of
such hard and fast organizations as exist
in the priesthood OF the Catholic Church.

OF ministers are underpaid. The only
