at length ends in thorough alienation.

might make men more careful than
they are about opening the tiniest hole

the letting out of waters which may

FIRST STEP is TAKEN
FOR HORIZONTAL RAISE
House Adopts Rule Permitting
Amendment to Agriculture
Department Bill.

The first step toward horizontal in.
crease in pay for employees Of the De.
partment of Agriculture was taken yes.
terday in the House by the adoption OF
a rule to permit salary-raising
amendment to be placed on the agricul.
tural appropriation bill, now nearly
ready for a vote. The rule was brought
in to the House from the rules commit
tee by Representative Garrett of Ten
nessee and adopted without discussion
or dissent. This. however, is no prom
ise that. there will not be a fight
against the salary-raising amendment
when it is reached in debate. The
adoption of the rule merely protects
the amendment from death by point of
order and from further amendment.
The proposed increases are the same
as those proposed for the legislative,
executive and judicial bill and the post
office bill. They are per cent for en-
ployes between $1,000 and $500 and
10 per cent for employees below
$1,000. Because of the large num-
ber of employees paid from lump
sums and special employees not engaged
legislation has been framed to f1t the
situation. The horizontal increases
will not be given to employees who re-
ceive part of their compensation from
the government and part from outside
sources, through cooperative arrange
ments. They will apply to employees
under the lump sum appropriations, but
only to those on the lump sum rolls
carried thereon at the close of the
present fiscal year.

DRAMA LEAGUE PLAYERS
TO HAVE HOUSEWARMiNG
Gathering at the Workshop, 1882 v

The Drama League Players will hold
a housewarming at their workshop,
1882 v street northwest, Thursday
night. In this studio all the scenery
used in the players productions is de-
signed. built and painted.
G. A. Lyon. chairman of. the Wash
ington Center Of the Drama League.
following the first act of "The Tragedy
of Man," as presented Friday evening
at the Wilson Normal School by the
Drama League Players, made a short
curtain speech. outlining the program
for the remainder Of the season and
also the extent to which community
interest in the drama has grown in
Washington in the last few years.
THE keynote Of the Drama League
Players is intimacy said Mr.. Lyon.
I'VE would rather play to an appreci-
ative audience of 300 persons than to
attempt to engage the attention of
1900 who are not in sympathy with
the object Of the league"
Mr.. Lyon stated that the success of
the little theater. movement in this
city depended on the record made by
the players this year, and that any one
who desired to make non-interest-
bearing Investment for the benefit of
the development OF community interest
could do no better service to Wash
ingtop than to aid in securing a nom
commercial playhouse in which all
amateur groups might give produc-
tions.
